lodging and saw that he also had gun

Nightwatch Bound and Gagged.
The leader of the robbers, who is
described as being a very large man,
commanded the rest of the robbers to
bind ana gag the nightwatch. This
was done by placing piece OF twisted
cardboard into his mouth, then a red
handkerchief was tied around his face
and gunny sack thrown over his
head. His arms were tied and another
gunny sack drawn up over his legs
and he was thrown on the platform OF
the city scales and told to lay there.
Members of the gang with more heart
than the others suggested that as the
night was cold the nightwatch might
freeze, and that they had better take
him into the office. This was done and
the leader said, "We are here to blow
up the bank and you are to keep your
-d mouth shut"
Robbers Enter Bank.
One man was left in charge of the
nightwatch while the others proceeded
to the rear of the Traders bank build
ing just across the street north from
the city hall building, and proceeded
to gain entrance to the building. First
by cutting the telephone wires, after
which they proceeded to pry up the
window. After gaining entrance to
the room work on the vault door was
commenced The noise made by the
robbers attracted the attention of Mrs.
Quirk, the night operator in the tele-
phone office, which is located over the
drug store, short distance from the
bank. Mrs. Quirk, thinking that all
was not well, attempted to use the
wires, bit found all of them dead with
the exception of one running to West
Side and one to Denison. She imme-
diately called central at Denison and
got in connection with Sheriff Cum
mings and told him there was some
thing wrong at Vail, that she was un-
able to use the wires and that she was
afraid that robbers were in the town,
as there was considerable noise going
on around the bank building and the
city hall.

INSTINCT" IN CRABS
Existence Of II 10 Recognized, But
Scientists Admit That II
Puzzles Them.

Noted naturalists of Great Britain
have recently discovered the extraor-
binary and surprising faculty In GER
tain crabs to find their way back al
most unbelievable distances to their
birthplace and original feeding
grounds. Sir Isaac Newton once de-
clared that with all his grand discov-
cries he was nothing but child pick
ing sea shells from the beach by the
great ocean of truth. The students of
animal behavior, such as Professors
Jennings, Mast, Watson and others,
since this discovery of a "homing in
stinct" in crabs. are more convinced
than ever Of Newton's wisdom.
The scientific accounts of the crabs
walk" describes many Of them. and in
particular male and female Of these
creatures, caught at Yorkshire, Eng
land, and transported to Skegness in
Lincolnshire, which crawled all the
way back to exactly the place they
had left.
Traps had been set in the place
where they were originally captured
and the shellfish experts awaited with
great skepticism the results of the un-
usual experiment
All investigations of how and why
crabs migrate back to their home, as
in the case Of pigeons. have proved 80
far fruitless.

The chief value of bur clover in the
South lies in its use as a winter graz
Ing crop in permanent pastures. Bur
clover and Bermuda grass make an
ideal combination for an all-the-year-
round pasture. The clover comes up
in the fall after the Bermuda has died
down and furnishes grazing from De-
cember until May, when the clover re-
seeds itself and dies. The clover adds
nitrogen to the soil and improves the
growth Of Bermuda without in any way
interfering with it. AS bur clover Is a
winter legume requiring little sun
shine. it grows readily in orchards and
wooded pastures. 1t is one of the best
soil improving crops that can be grown
In orchards. as it makes its growth In
winter and early spring, when moisture
is abundant. and does not use up the
moisture supply in the summer months
when needed by the trees.
Bur clover does not appear to be

crop rotations commonly recommend

twoyear rotation of cotton and corn
The clover can be sown in the cotton
middles in September and will mature
seed by the 18th to 25th of May. As
soon as the clover Is matured the land
should be thoroughly disked. narrowed
and broken and a good seed bed pre-
pared and planted to corn in rows five
10 six feet wide.
A row of cowpeas can be planted
with a drill in the middles when the
corn is two feet high. and the peas will
be cultivated by the later cultivation
of corn. The next year. during the lat.
ter half of March. the clover should
be turned under and the land prepared
for cotton. The clover will be from
six to ten inches high and will add
large amount of nitrogen and humus
to the land. Where bur clover Is al.
lowed to mature seed once in two
years there will be enough seed left
in the soil the second year to get
good stand.
Where recleaned seed are used, arti-
fetal incubation is necessary to get
q satisfactory growth Of bur clover. 1t
is much better to SOW the seed in the
bur, as there is usually enough bac-
eria on the burs to give satisfactory
incubation. Where seed are sown in
the bur in cultivated fields at least four
bushels per acre are necessary to Sc
cure a perfect stand. The time for
sowing on Bermuda sod and pastures
is from August to September In
the northern third of the cotton belt;
from August 10 to September 10 in the
central part of the cotton belt, and
from August 20 to October / In the
southern part. When planting on cul.
tivated fields the planting may be from
three to four weeks later than when
sown on turf. This is due to the fact
that time must be allowed for the
clover seed in the bur to work down
through the turf and come in contact
with the moist soil before they will
terminate.
Where seeding on Bermuda sod or
pasture, light disking of the land
with a disk harrow. with the disks set
to run nearly straight. will furnish
some loose dirt to cover the seed. and
will aid in securing a stand. A good
stand il often secured by sowing the
seed broadcast on Bermuda sod. with

ANOTHER CHANCE TO MAKE
GOOD.

IN the state of New Jersey Col Ed
ward A. Stevens, commissioner Of
- public works, is trying an expert
ment with a convict camp. which
hasn't even a fence around it. Thirty
prisoners were sent there from the
over-crowded Trenton prison, to work
on the highways; and the idea is not
only to improve the roads but to i'm
prove the prisoners and to help solve
the prison problem.
The workers have named it the
Don't Worry Club" while it is known
officially as State Camp No. 1. The
word convict" and the idea of pris-
oners are eliminated everywhere.
There are no cells, and although there
are several guards, they mingle with
the men in friendly intercourse. When
their days labor is finished they enjoy
baseball. music or any other healthful
amusement.
The men are selected on merit from
the state prison. and there. are hun
