FEED SWINE SOFT CORN.

Gidden, Dec. 22.-In response to an
inquiry made by a farmer Of this vicin-
ity as to what to feed his hogs now
that the corn was all immature, the
Iowa state Agricultural college at Ames
recommended feeding the hogs as much
soft corn as they wanted. Soft corn is
a good feed for all kinds of swine, says
the college. Feed the corn with pro-
tein supplement and all the pigs to
have little salt with the corn.

ffor their interest. Their class inter
lest demands cheap and docile labor
content with the crumbs that fall
from their masters table. Men who
have the courage to rebel are their
pet aversion. Hence, they dig up
money to get rid of them.
Tt is worth noting that the powers
that be do not leave their interests
in the hands of district attorney
responsible to the electors of a COM
munity. They insist on having their
own hired man on the job. MAeven-
handed Justice were the sole desid-
eratum there would be little need for
secretive methods.
Fair play. stands the light o. day!
The conclusion is inevitable that
those interested fear the Los An
geles district attorney viii not be
able to secure conviction by twelve
unbiased iurymen, hence the i'm
portation Of a special prosecutor not
responsible to the electors for his
methods.

the way, convicted and sent to jail q
number OF union men in Indianapolis
against whom there was not enough
evidence to hang a yellow dog.
Even the Supreme Court, and God
knows its members cannot be ac-
eused Of labor sympathies, would not
i stand for some of those convictions,
Eneither would the President of the
United States.
Possibly Mr. Noel's cleverness in
securing convictions with little or no
evidence is the reason for his en-
gagement in this case.
The source of Mr.. NoePs fee is no
mystery at all. He is owned body,
soul, boot and breeches by the same
corporate interests that packed the
grand jury that returned the indict
ment against Captain and Schmidt;
and the same that had their specially
appointed Judge, Cranky Hitler, try
Lawson; the same that ordered a.
special train weeks in advance Of the
Jury's verdict in the indianapolis case
because. they knew beforehand what
the. verdict would be; the same that
corrupts courts and legislatures
throughout the length and breadth of
the land.

Greed, typifed by the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association of Los
Angeles, which had in their pay Earl
Hogers, even when acting as special
deputy district attorney before the |
lndicting grand jury; the attitude of |
Judge Willis, against whom the Los
Angeles Labor Council, Building
Trades Council and Socialist Assem-
Dly are now invoking the recall for
refusing to consider incontrovertible
evidence OF the packing of the afore-
said grand jury, thereby saving the
friends Of the Merchants and Manu-
Iacturers Association from an embar-

The offer was made to President John

and let the honor suffice as reward, or
possibly have medals presented.

lieving that baseball fans in general were
interested in the competition. If it were
trophies that were in debate, we were
willing to do our part in continuing the
hall of fame. We regret that our offer
could not be accepted but can appre-
