USING HORSE AND WAGON
Three Negroes Caught in Act of
 Breaking Into Warehouse

Jim Boykin. Oscar Henderson and Henry Jones, all negroes, were captured last night while in the act of breaking into a wholesale liquor warehouse on Eighteenth street between Avenue A and Avenue B. The capture was made by R. M White and Charles Vilines, em- ployed in the Alabama Great Southern freight warehouse.
 The negroes were using horse and wagon to transport the goods. which they had removed from the warehouse. When they were discovered there were three barrels of beer in the wagon and another barrel on the ground.
 The negroes effected entrance by break ing the transom on the front door and sending a boy into the building to open the rear door. The lock on the front door had been twisted off but lock on the inside held firm.
 The police were notified and the ne- groes were turned over to Officers Moscr and Garner. They were placed in the city jail charged with burglary and grand larceny.

HORRIBLE CONDITION .OF BELGIUM TOLD BY THEODORE WATERS
of Food Distribu- tion Returns From Visit to War ZOne-Thous-
 ands Are in Need

New York, December 16-"A tragic misery. the like of which the world has never seen" was the term applied to- night to the conditions in Belgium by Theodore Waters, secretary of the Chris tian Herald. who went to Belgium last month to supervise distribution of the food cargo of the relief steamer Jan Block, and who returned today on the Pennsylvania. Belgium. he said. is one long bread line of starving men, women and children clamoring for daily single ration of soup and bread.
 ''In Antwerp he said. q saw over a thousand poorly clad women standing shivering in the snow, waiting for food to be doled out. In Malines, under the shadow of the cathedral, its walls caved in, it's old stained glass windows but ragged fragments, saw men. women and children, gazing disconsolately at the ruins of the houses that once were their homes, poor people who begged some- thing to eat of us as we passed On the road to Brussels we overlook thousands of refugees returning to villages where there is not food enough to sustain those already there. In Brussels we saw wom- en holding babies standing on the cold street corners begging for food.
 ''In Holland I found thousands of refu- gees from Belgium huddled in camps and on barges. some refined, some coarse and brutalized, all sleeping together without partitions to insure the least privacy.
 ''Stagnation lies like blight upon Bel gium--stagnation of energy-of hope. The country was one huge burying ground. Graves, orphans, a country desolated; it's trees felled to make way for the bullets; its crops, long gone to seed, sticking leanly up through the snow, Broken houses, broken homes, broken hearts. Yet the refugees were always on the road, returning to desolate hearthstones.
 ''When I was in Brussels there was only enough food on hand to last two weeks. Unless a quantity is shipped in from America immediately Brussels will be threatened with famine. What Is true of Brussels is true only in a greater degree, of all Belgium. Belgium in nor nal times imports five-sixths of her food products. On account of the war she is not able to produce even one-sixth. If she does not receive food from America and that Is her only source-her peo- pie, rich and poor alike. will starve, and starvation will spell ruin. For when peo- pie are hungry they are apt to commit i'll advised reprisals against the mili- tary."

Will Not Lift Siege

Naco, Ariz., December 16.-The siege of Naco. Sonora, with it's toll on the Amer fear side of b2 killed and wounded will not cease despite the order of Provis- ional President Gutierrez of Mexico to Governor Maytorena. the Villa con- n.ander.
 Maytorena interpreted the order today as giving him discretionary power to con- tinue operations against the Mexican town, provided his fire does not reach the American side. The order, which reached him yesterday, was followed to- day by the usual fire between the two factions, a few bullets crossing the boundary.
 The United States border patrol today completes it's telephone lines. connecting headquarters with the bombprooofs and outposts and the artillery established po- sitions for field pieces commanding the two Mexican camps.
 On the other side of the line Maytor- ena has completed his zigzag trenches on the southeast and has connected a series of three arroyos on the southwest. giving his men an entrenched approach to within 600 yards of the Hill -Carranza west trenches.
 Hill continues to receive large quanti- ties of ammunition and foodstuffs.

BRADY ACCUSED OF VIOLATING
 THE MANN ACT


 Chicago, December 16-James I. Brady, state auditor, today was accused of vio- lating the Mann white slave act. The charge was brought by Mrs. Mary Quin- Ian Kuhns Brady. his Michigan wife, whose suit alleging breach of promise by Brady's having refused to remarry her in Illinois at the expiration of year from her divorce is pending.
 Mrs. Brady visited Charles r. Clyne, United States district attorney. and charged that the state auditor had vio- lated the federal law in transporting her from Detroit to Chicago. She also 's said to have told of other interstate trips Clyne said he would investigate.
 Mrs. Brady charges the aoditor with having married her in Michigan a few days after she had been divorced from a former husband. The Illinois supreme court has held that remarrages within year of the divorce are illegal Brady refused to make her his legal wife in this state. Mrs. Brady charges

 Of No Military Value
 No military value can be attached to the raid. insofar as invasion is concerned. The number of ships employed would be useless for invasion purposes unless there were troop ships back of them. While this can be considered only as a raid for moral effect, back of it may be the gath ering of submarines attending the Ger man cruisers to take advantage of any concentration of British forces sent to head off the cruisers.
 If the Germans invade England they will do it after a serious naval action in which major vessels take part. No other military movement is conceivable which will attain results"

The farmers have just as much
to do in building up and improve
ing their town as do the citizens
of the town. 1t is to the inter-
ests to have up-to-date merchants
and mechanics. How can they
expect these conveniences if they
send to all the large cities for
merchandise that should be
bought of the home dealer? The
few cents that can be saved by
buying goods away from home
is injuring your community to
the extend of many dollars by
retarding progress and the in
creasing valuation of all kinds of
property, including your own.
Stand together, all will prosper.
Divide and prosperity will flee.

HOW TO A IN THE
POULTRY BUSINESS.

POULTRY
A contributor to the current
issue of Farm and Fireside
writes in part, as follows, under
the title Breaking Into Poul-
try"
THE first advice | give to
every beginner is to let incu-
bators alone. Stick to the hen.
After you learn how to hatch
and raise chicks with hens and
you begin to feel that you under
stand the business, you can
tackle an incubator.
THE orthordox advice Of the
poultry journals to the beginner
is to purchase a trio or pen from
some breeder for about twenty
five to fifty dollars and start
right. My advice is to buy two
or three one-year-old hens and
five or six good-sized ,pullets
from some poultry-raiser near
you. Have him pick you good
birds from his flock. They will
probably cost you a dollar each.
ITO the beginner who is very
short of cash | would advise the
purchase of a hen and brood OF
chicks. The ~poultryman will
want 3 dollar for the hen and
about fifteen cents apiece for
the chicks, and one can buy from
ten to twenty chicks. Twenty
is not too many, and the hen will
carefor them well in a coop made
of a goods box covered with a
piece Of prepared roofing"

WHAT A VIRGINIA GIRL Dill
In the current issue Of Farm
and Fireside appears the follow
ing account of the interesting
work being done by the Girls
Canning Clubs of the Southern
States, working under the aus.
pieces of the United States De.
partment of Agriculture:
There is a lesson in the int
eresting work of the Girls Can
ming Clubs of the Southern
States, working under the aus
pieces of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
About twenty-five thousand
girls have been enrolled in these
clubs, each cultivating a tenth
of an acre of vegetables and can
ming the product. Tomatoes
constitute the staple crop, but
beans, corn, and other traits and
vegetables were haudled by some
of the girls.
Bessie Starkey, a Virginia
girl, obtained 1928 pounds of
tomatoes from her tenth of an
acre and made the best record.
MANY of the girls have made
records of more than a hundred
dollars in profit from these little
patches.
Here is a hint for those
women and girls who want PIN
money or seek to add to the fam
income. Here is a powerful
suggestion to country schools.
An acre of land adjacent to the
house will furnish room
for ten girls, on which to make
money and demonstrate the prin-
of both domestic economy
Ind agriculture-and there is no
'eason why the boys should not
compete.
Fifteen girls will visit Wash
ngton to receive the congratula-
ions of the officials of the u. S.
A. about the time this is pub
They will have fine trips
md plenty of fun. It will be a
.Ea#r .HEn# l
.reat thing for them as prize
Winners from their several
tates. But the important thing
bout the matter is that each of
he twenty-five thousand will be
ntitled to the credit Of having
the world a lesson. That
esson is one Of self-help, and the
Intensive and profitable use of
ur common heritage-the land.
