Secretary OF Agriculture Of Ohio Says
Poor Cooking Is Sending More
Men To Hades Than

Plano, Ill.-A resolution demanding
an amendment of the federal banking
laws providing for the establishment
of rural banks which will have funds
that may be loaned farmers for long
periods at nominal rate of interest
was adopted today by the resolutions
committee Of the Farmers National
Congress in session here
The resolution was drafted by sub
committee composed of H. E. Stock
bridge, Of Georgia; Frank G. Odell, OF
Nebraska, and Mrs. Marshall Holt, OF
California.
Another resolution rebuked the
banking interests which seek to
fasten their own rural credit system
on the people The Capitalization Of,
banking power was also assailed. The
discussions were greatly enlivened by
an address of A. p. Sendell, Secretary
Of Agriculture for Ohio, who declared
that .the cultivation Of woman is a
bigger job today than the making Of
poor ground yield"
I'VE can't keep the boys on the
farm he said, unless we keep the
girls there.
Modern education must not take
away the cornerstone of motherhood.
The present price of women's hearts
and poor cooking are sending more
men to Hades than all the saloons.
Good cooking, good baking, sewing and
the other arts Of our mothers are
necessary to make the home decent
place in which to live.

fourths of the convicts in the Ohio,

said. American soils are not, east
of the Missouri river, by nature filled
with the amount of lime that they
need, and they also are deficient in

STORY OF FISHERIES
Industry on Newfoundland Banks
400 Years Old.
Men DO Not Work for Wages, But for
Share Of Catch 4o Vessels and
6,S3a People Engaged in the
Business In 1912.

New York recent consular
reports from st. Pierre call attention
to the many interesting and unique
features of the French fisheries ON
the Newfoundland banks. This i'm
dustry is more than 400 years old,
and has changed but little with the
progress Of the centuries. The only
important innovation was the substi-
tuition Of light dories for the clumsy
"chaloupes" in use prior to 1865. It
is true that within the past five years
the steam trawler has appeared as a
rival, but not yet dangerous rival,
of the brig and schooner.
In 1912, $40 vessels and 6,S3S men
engaged in the Banks fisheries con
stituted what is known as the met
ropolitan" fleet, |. e., vessels fitted
out in Normandy and Brittany. These
vessels leave France in late March or
early April and require from IA to As
days for the passage, according to
wind and weather. The voyage is
perilous, for the craft are very small
and the methods Of navigation are OF
the simplest The masters Of these
vessels take observations for latitude.
but have no chronometers and cannot
determine their longitude with any
accuracy. On the outward journey
they can tell roughly from soundings
when they have arrived at the Banks;
returning they can estimate their po-
sition when they cross the steamer
lanes converging toward the English
channel.
Besides the metropolitan fleet, a
certain number of.vessels Gao in 1919
are fitted out in the colony Of st.
Pierre and Miquelon and manned
with Normans and Bretons, who come
out in the spring on a steamer char
tered for the purpose and return to
France at the end of the season. For
merly these men made the journey in
sailing vessels, which we're often dan
gerously crowded. The combined
feet in 1912 numbered $500 fisher
/. men.
The fishermen do not work for
wages, but for a share in the catch.

The income tax estimates follow

President Wilson, the federal judges
Of the Supreme and inferior courts
now holding Office, and employees "of a
state or any political subdivision
thereof" are the only persons specific
ally exempted from the tax by the new
law. The President and judges now
in Office were made exempt to escape
any questions Of the constitutionality
OF the law, and their successors in
4 Office will be compelled to pay the tax.
Exemptions Allowed.

or family expenses

+ A reasonable allowance for the de-
probation of property.

however, that the taxable person must

Before they leave France they re-
ceive an advance payment, varying
from $75 to $3.50, to be deducted from
their future earnings. If, as not in
frequently happens, mans share at
the end of the season is not sufficient
to cover the amount advanced to him,
the owner of the vessel loses the diff
ference, and the man himself comes
home with empty pockets. The fish
erman's total earnings in seven
months of hard labor and exposure
probably do not average more than
$3.50. Strangely enough. the men ap-

TRAIN HELD Up
BY BOY BANDITS
Daring Robbery Successfully
Accomplished in Alabama.
NINE FORCED TO LINE UP.
In Most Approved Style the TWO
Youths Stopped the Express Train
BY Showing the Danger Signal
and AWed Engineer.
Copyright,

Cottondale, Ala.-Two mere boys
were the bandits who rified the mail
car and dynamited the express safe
on Alabama Great Southern train, No.
z, near this place and escaped with
booty variously estimated at from q
few hundred to fifty thousand dollars.
In the search for the bandits Deputy
Sheriff James Bonner, Of Birmingham,
was shot and killed by member of
another posse from Montgomery, who
mistook Bonner for one of the robbers.
After stopping the train at Bibb-
vile Siding at 1880 A. M. by means of
a block danger signal the young BAN
dts, with drawn reyolvers, forced the
engineer, fireman, express messenger
and six mail clerks to leave their
engine and cars and line up at the side
of the track The robbers then COM
PEELED one of the trainmen to detach
the engine, express and mail cars,
whereupon the bandits boarded the
locomotive, and with one robber at
the throttle drove the front part Of
the train several miles down the track,
where the express safe was blown to
bits with dynamite and the registered
mail pouches were rified.
The robbers then threw open the
throttle of the engine, leaped to the
ground and escaped with their booty
into the swamps, while the runaway
engine and express and mail cars
dashed on down to the track through
several towns, until the steam In the
engine was exhausted and the run
away train came to stop at Ehgle-
wood, Ala.
Trainmen who witnessed the hold
up said they believed the robbers were
well paid for their daring.
One of the trainmen told the follow
| ing story of the hold-up:
THE train was stopped by means of
q danger block system. which had been
tied so that the red danger signal
faced the train. AS soon as Engineer
Daniels saw the signal he stopped the
train, only to be confronted with q
brace Of revolvers in the hands of
an 1S-year-old boy. He was made to
leave the train with his fireman.
IL Pool the express messenger. was
eating his lunch at the time the two
robbers entered his car. The messen-
ger said to them: GO away from
here or will throw this hot coffee on
you" As he made motion to carry
out his threat a bullet famed his cheek
so closely that he fell to the floor
under the impression that he had been
shot. Six mail clerks were made to
leave their coach and stand on the
right. of way with their hands up.
Then the bandits forced the porter to
cut the two front coaches and engine
from the sleepers. The front section
pulled away from the other section
with one of the bandits at the throttle.
! Conductor Cook already had gone
through the sleeper locking the doors,
arousing the passengers and advising
them to hide their valuables. With
the throttle wide open the runaway
train passed station after station until
1t stopped at Englewood. when the
engine went dead.
