Crazed Mexican
To Be Deported

Rojas Ojeda, demented Mexican,
strolled into the county jail yester-
day and looking around at the famil-
lar walls, turned his attention to
Sheriff Meadows and grunted "How"
The sheriff said "How," patted the
fellow on the back, opened the door
of the cell house, escorted Rojas into
the inner tank, locked the door and
said "How."
Sheriff Meadows had just finished
reading a description of Ojeda sent
out from the immigration bureau at
Calexico, and asking this office to de-
tain the man should they locate him,
when in walked the Mexican. He was
instantly recognized as the man
wanted by the immigration authori-
ties, as he had been behind the bars
of the local Jail before.
The man is about 30 years of age,
scarcely talks and when he does hard
ly speaks above whisper. He claims
that he has been hurt in the chest
and that his home is in La Paz, Mex
leo. He will be deported as a person
of unsound mind.

TAX OFFICIALS LIABLE TO PRISON TERM BY
THRILLING WITH THE LAW

Illinois tax laws say tax ohclalS
shall force each taxpayer to swear
how much property he owns and
how much the cash value of that
property is. And when tax official
does not do this clear, simple little
thing the law asks him to do, then
that tax official lays himself open to
a year in jail and $4,000 fine.
This law is being read closely in
Chicago today. And yesterday the
states attorneys office suddenly re-
called a subpoena served on mem
Der of the Board of Review. If the
subpoena had been served and the
tax official had gone on the witness
stand it might have helped him to
wiggle into an immunity bath.
No immunity baths for tax officials
will go in the cases now on, accord
ing to States Atty Hoyne. He said:
"The tax laws have been violated
for years. Every one knows that.
But the open, fragrant violations are
not so well and generally known. 1t
has grown into a vast system by
which the public treasury is robbed
of tens of millions of dollars year.
"The best way to stop this prac-
tice is to punish those guilty. The
old practice will be unhealthy by the
time we finish the actions now start
ed. Any one who thinks that fits his
case is welcome to the information.
Fred Block, the former coal man
now on the Board of Review, came
into Judge Owens court yesterday
and told the assistant states attor-
neys they could have any records
they wanted from the boards Office.
Hoyne's men had planned for court
order commanding the Board of Re-
view to bring the books into court.
Block pleaded there wasn't any use
in such an order as they would come
across with all books and papers
wanted. Judge Owens listened to a
promise from Block that the review
hoard would "cO-ODeTate" with the

public out of millions of tax money
through knocking off assessments of
corporations and millionaires was
done mostly by the assessors and
Board of Review while a lot of small
work in tax-fxing was done by law
yers, clerks and hangers-on at public
offices, according to evidence said to
be in Hoyne's hands.
A. Hess, jeweler, 1853 W.. Madison
ST., brought the information yester-
day that he paid taxes on $4,000 until
"a constable by the name of Muir
ply" came along and showed him
how to swear to a schedule of $500
and dodge taxes on $500. For eight
years he has lodged by this trick,
he admitted to Asst States Atty
Irwin N. Walker.
81 didn't stop to think that l could
be sent to JAIL" said Hess. 'Pn make
an honest schedule from now on and
pay all of the taxes"
One of the Rhein Bros, mattress
manufacturers, COLL S. State ST., said
"a horseshoer by the name of Col
Inns" fixed his taxes. The field as
SCISSOR listed $4,000 of property at
Rhein Bros. They were cancelled on
the tax page with the red ink check
e." According to testimony of Clerk
Krutchkoff of the assessors office,
this means Frank Sheridan of the
Board of Assessors cancelled the
taxes. In exchange for having the
taxes fixed, Rhein Bros. had all their
horses shod at Collins shop, it is
claimed.
A lawyer for A. Ostrowsky, 1874 S..
Halsted ST., said his client did not
schedule his $4,000 worth of mer-
chandise because he had debts on all d,
of it. The field assessor listed
$4,000. 1t was cancelled by red ink
check a." Sheridan again. Atty
Walker explained to Ostrowsky's law

what you've got whether you owe

Alfalfa Acreage Booming

The alfalfa acreage is booming this
year, as it never has before. The
pioneer growers, and the campaign Of
publicity. along with the lectures at
the farmers institutes and agricultural
meetings, have stirred our people to
the importance Of having some alfalfa
on every farm. II all the land that
will raise alfalfa in the poorest alfalfa

BlackIeg in Cattle

The Missouri State Beard Of Agri'
culture, and State Veterinarian, DR..
D, F. Luckey, at Columbia, are receiv-
Ing messages and letters concerning
outbreaks Of blackleg in young cattle,
indicative that the disease appears to
be more prevalent than il has been for
a number Of years. Secretary Jewel
Maves calls special attention to the
i1llowing interview by Doctor Luckey;
The symptoms Of blackleg are
very easily recognized by anyone who
has ever seen case. AS rule, the
disease appears in lot Of young cat
tie when on good feed or pasture and
making rapid growth. As rule, it
affects the latest calves in the lot. It
runs very rapid course, lasting as
rule, from twelve to twentY-iour hours
and almost invariably results in death.
TIE calf frs! shows lameness. With
in a few hours, a swelling appears On
some part Of the body and generally
on one CT the quarters. Rubbing the
swelling causes a cracking sound be-
meath the skin. When the animal is
skinned, the affected portion appears
bruised as il it had been hit with
club. These symptoms are unmis,
taxable.
The carcasses OF blackleg calves
should be thoroughly burned in order
to destroy isiection and prevent the
spread OF ihe disease. II these car
casses are not burned, the infection
will remain on the premises for years
and make cattle growing Improbable
unless all young cattle are regularly
vaccinated.
Whenever there is an outbreak Of
blackleg, all the young cattle in the
community should be vacciuated. In
the event that case is lost in a herd,
and little time would be required TO
secure the vaccine, it is advisable TO
reduce the feed so that they will
shrink slightly. They are not SO apt
to develop blackleg while shrinking as
while gaining in weight Three days
after the vaccine is administered, they
may be put back on full feed or good
pasture"
Farmers and stockmen are invited
to communicate With State Veterinarian
Luekey or the Board, in case black
leg is breaking ou. free advise is de-
sired.

The Greed Of the Country

Rural lie is coming into its own and
country life is beginning TO be appre-
ciated again after several decades Of
disfavor and neglect. The following
creed, which is being adopted as the
slogan Of various boys and girls clubs
throughout the rural sections Of the
United States, shows that the thought
life Of the country is being directed
into its natural channels:
II believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out OF
doors and in touch with the earth is the
natural life Of man. I believe that
work is work wherever I find it, but
that work with nature is more inspiring
than work with the most intricate
machinery. / believe chat the dignity
Of labor depends not only upon what
you do, but on how you do it; that op'
portunity comes to boy on the farm
as often as TO a boy in the city, and
that life is larger and freer and happier
on the farm than in the town"
