with the misery caused by the pres
ent unfair bastardy laws.
But against the women and the
men pledged to fight for the bill on
the floor Of the legislature, there is
a sinister influence, at present keep
ing in the background, which is to
be used against the women.
It is even rumored that certain leg
islators propose to ask for an even
smaller judgment against fathers Of
illegitimate children.
Many of the women are openly ac-
cusing Lee O'Ne1 Browne, one Of the
big bosses Of the legislature, Of trying
to block their efforts to get through
humane laws.
But the women are alive to the sit
uation and already the Woman's
Party of Cook County and other or
CARNATIONS are arranging for several
meetings between now and election,
at which the candidates for the legis-
lature viii be made to come out in the
open and declare themselves either
for or against the womanhood Of the
state.
,Barratt O'HaTa will lead the fight
on the floor of the senate. The bills
which will be introduced will be akin
in nature to the bastardy laws in eff
feet in certain European countries,
where the father Of the child has to
support his offspring until the child
reaches the age Of independence.
The child also is entitled to all the
rights Of q legitimate child.

FOUR GUNMEN SHOCKED TO
DEATH-No CONFESSION
ossining, N. Y, April 13.-The
four gunner convicted of the murder
of Herman Rosenthal were executed
in Sing Sing prison early today. 1t
required four shocks to kill Lefty
Louie" Two were sufficient for the
others. 1t was just 80 minutes from
the time the first shock was given
"Dago Frank" Cirofci, the first to die,
until Lefty Louie" Rosenberg, the
last of the four, was pronounced
dead
Whitley Lewis was the only one
of the gunner to make statement
in the death house and none made a
confession. Whitley Lewis" declared
the witnesses against him had per-
jured themselves and swore he was
not guilty. He went to his death ter
ror-stricken and apparently on the
verge of collapse.
Whitley" Lewis was calm and fully
aware of all that was going on about
him as he stepped through the door
to the death chamber preceded by
Rabbi Goldstein. Before taking his
place in the chair he said:
Gentlemen, for the sake of justice
1 want to say that the witnesses who
swore against me periured them
selves. l swear to God that l did not
shoot Rosenthal"
He died hard. jerking violently in
the chair when the current was sent q.
through his body.

Bur Glover.
AS l have previously said, what
the blue grass is to Kentucky bur
clover or bermuda will be to Geor-
gia, and 1 think the farmers will
agree with me when they have oane
tried it. Buy four bushels of seed in
the bur, inoculate broadcast over
your bermuda and run over it with
a disc or peg tooth harrow. This is
all there is to it. Of course an ap-
plicatiOn of stable manure will help,
and if l had it I would use it in this
way. Experience has taught us that
it is not best to plat either bur or
crimson clover on loose seed bed,
nor to cover over an inch deep.
Please bear this in mind. The de-
mand for the seed is greater than
the supply will fill, and anyone who
wishes can make it profitable raising
the seed for sale. 1t is nothing un-
common to gather $50 bushels to the
acre. Now, when your seed come
don't get dissatisfied because of a
little trash in them. All of them
have it and those that you sell an
other year will have it. This trash
brings you the necessary incubation.
The bur clover instead of injuring
the bermuda helps it by storing up
in some cases as much as 100 pounds
of nitrogen, worth 500. 1t furnishes
the much needed winter and spring
grazing till the bermuda comes on.
Vetch.
This crop leads all in the amount
of nitrogen that it stores up in the

can afford not to plant s3nle with
their oats. To every ton there is
81 worth of nitrogen, and You can
easily raise two tons per acre. Sam
pies of it were exhibited at the two
farmers institutes recently held
with and without oats. 1t does bet

TEACHING PUPILS TO SPELL
New York Newspaper Thinks That

in school now spell-of course, there
were always bad spellers-that the
reason for it should be known.

method of teaching spelling was de-

tor-ridden country to the other was

that a mental picture was certainly
impressed on the child's" mind by
merely looking at the word. 1t never
occurred TO the visualizers that the
child" had always looked at the word,
and that the drill they proposed to do
away with was all there was to the
spelling lesson.
