Vernon Carson, a 14-year-old North
Dakota boy grew a. bushels of wheat
to the acre and for time he was hail
ed as the champion wheat grower of
the state. But after M. D. Graham
of Burlington came forward with 81
bushels to the acre and famous Bros.
of Hettinger with a like yield, the lad
had to take seat farther back, and

good work. He prepared the land and
sowed the seed himself.
Speaking of the condition of wheat,
J. H. Cover of Surrey says the weeks
rains undoubtedly damaged wheat
some, bleaching it. Besides, the bun
dies that are down on the ground are
apt to sprout, lowering the grade. He
thinks the farmers should look after
these bundles right away. Mr.. Cover
thinks farmers should do more stack
ing. He says the grain that is ordi
narily wasted in the fields will about
pay the expense of the stacking.

Police Not Responsible

To the Editor of The Ase-Heraid.
 In today's issue of your paper appears the following: "snatches watchi is caught by officers Then follows an ac- count Of negro. Louis Daniels. snatch ing the watch of N. A. Arnold of One onta. Then follows vivid account of how Detectives Brown and Cartwright after hard chase caught the ne gro. The facts are as follows: MT. AT mold was walking down Avenue B when he was accosted by this negro, who made two grabs at his watch and finally broke the chain. He ran up Twenty- first street with MT Arnold close behind, shouting Catch him." A crowd of men took chase and after a run through sev- eral lots and houses caught him.
 After the crowd had taken him to the corner and started to telephone the police station, MT. Brown walked up and the negro was turned ovar to him. There was not an officer in sight or hearing when the theft took place. and if it had not been for the crowd, the negro would still be at large. We are not con deming the police department. but it looks like when anything happens on this side of town the officers are at another place. This Is not the first time that they have been absent, and it is not the first time that private citizens have caught criminals and the papers have had in big headlines, Caught by the police" Yours very truly,
 J. R. UPsHAw.

JEWS FACE CRISIS
 SAYS RABBI CRIES
Fate of Israel Trembling in the Balance, He
 Declares

GharlevoS Mich iline Nss The fate of half the Jews of the world is trembling in the balance as result of the great war in Europe, according to Rabbi Moses J. Cries Of Cleveland president of the Central Conference of American Rabbs, who addressed its twenty-sixth annual meeting here today.
 "A crisis impends for Israel" said Rah- bi Cries. The million Jews in eastern Europe are buffeted from persecution to oppression.
 All mankind has been made eyewit- nesses to Belgiums misery and sorrow. Galicia and Poland suffer equal tragedy,
 hut the world neither sees-nos hears. Mil- lions of Jews always in want and wretch- edness, now experience cruelty intensified.
 Hundreds of thousands are sacrificing
 their lives for their country. yes, even
 for the flag of the oppressor. and no
 promise of freedom is clearly spoken. The
 loyal offering of life In a nations cause
 should quench the fire of anti-Semitism in Germany and Austria. and lxindle the light of freedom-with equal human rghts-in Russia.
 Not yet is there any abatement of Russian persecution, nor any change in the legal status, nor any removal of dis abilities. Again thousands of Jews have been compelled to take up the staff of the wanderer. expelled from their homes and native villages
 Again. in the face of worldwide mis- cry we discover ourselves unprerared and unorganized. To meet overwhelming dis aster we endeavor to create national and international agencies. We are never ready. though Jews are ever in distress and have no escape from the yoke oi the worlds cruelty, oppression and per secution.
 'Our duty is to send relief and yet more relief, and 1t will not be enough. Amer ica is the only Jewish community in the world able to send relief American Jews heretofore always have answered Israel appeal for help.
 '"rhe crisis demands unity of action Let the multitude of committees and of i leaders surrender their claims to priority and precedence. They must unite to ere. ate one committee which shall be per manent--and thoroughly representative and duly authorized to speak and naci on behalf of all thA-Jews of America"

 When seen yesterday Mir Kelly stated that he look ed forward to his first year at the State university with all optimism and that he felt conf dent that the university would be ale ~hich a few years ago placed it among the leaders of the south.

All football followers know that it takes material in the last analysis 10 make a football team and that the coach is merely the means of whipping the ma terial into the greatest possible ef- ficiency. Sometimes it takes judg- ront to recognize material and again sometimes material is made and not found but it is the material that counts, just the same. Alabama is a great institution. and is justly deserv- ilig of really great athletic teams. With the cooperation of students and alumni 1 can see no reason why this ideal should not be realized"

SCRAP DRAWS BIC CROWD Three Men and Two Officers Involved in Melee Be-
 fore Saloon

A miniature riot was precepitated last night when officers Alexander and Watson of the purity squad" arrested W. R. Robinson, James Norris and Dan McCabe on charges of resisting an of flcer, disorderly conduct, and interfer- ring with an officer. Robinson was charged with disorderly conduct and re- sisting an officer. Norris interfering with an officer, assault and battery on Officer Watson and resisting an officer; and McCabe Interfering with an of ficer and resisting an officer.
 The men were arrested in front of Lacys bar, Twentieth street, between Second and Third avenues, last night about II o'clock. The arrests caused such a commotion that for a time the entire street was blocked. There are about IS witnesses to the affair.
 F. c. voss proprietor of Lacey s saloon made the following statement to an Age Herald reporter: q was about to leave the front door of my place and lock up for the night when two men came up to MT. Norris, who was with me. and myself and said in loud voice: Whats that you fellows said2 Norris turned to one of the man and said. I didn't say anything to you, who are you and what do you want? As Norris said that the man, whom l aft erwards found out to be Detective Wat son, grabbed Norris about the waist and jerked him violently, almost throw ing him to the pavement. Both Watson ard Alexander struck at Norris and myself and a general melee followed Ii either of the men had told us that they were officers of the law there W ould have been no trouble."s
 McCabe says he was merely spec tator and had nothing to do with tho affair.
 Captain Newman came up shortly after the affair started and succeede. in restoring order. Detective Wat son was bruised about the face as . result of the arrests. Neither Watson nor Alexander made any statement.
