Newspapers are so useful an article in the kitchen that there should be place provided to keep them out of the way. About a foot above the kitchen table fasten upright to the wall two lengths of strong garter elastic, each strap measuring about fourteen inches in length. These straps should be placed about nine inches apart. Newspapers may be folded and slipped under these bands until needed for various purposes.

JUDGE WALKER GETS PARDON
FOR CONVICTED MAN
Here's an example of what a really
humane judge can. do and still OBJ
serve the written laws of the state.
A few days ago story was printed
about Frank Kruska, who had been
sentenced to Joliet penitentiary by
Judge Charles M. Walker when he
pleaded guilty to charge of bur-
glary.
Kruska was very poor fellow. He
wasn't confirmed crook. He trav-
eled with no gang that would go. out
and raise money to pay for his de-
tense. And he was guilty of violating
the law.
Most judges would have wasted no
time with Kruska. They would have
heard his plea of guilty and then sent
him to prison for an indefinite num-
Der of years.
But Judge Walker forgot the IRON
bound laws that were written years
ago. He saw Kruska as a man who
deserved some chance. He conferred
with States Atty Hoyne and the lat
ter agreed to have the man sent to
Joliet for a year with an order en-
tered for the mans release at the end
of that time.
The years is up. But Atty Gen.
Pat Lucey protested against the &C
ton of Hoyne and Walker in enter
ing the order. Lucey was right-le-
gaIly. Both Walker and Hoyne re-
allied that. So the order was erased.
But Judge Walker made it his per-
senal affair to go to Gov. Dunno and
ask a pardon for the man. 1t will be
granted. A little more humanity like
this from judges might help restore
some of the weakening respect for

LUDLOW, MASSACRE OCCURRED
YEAR AGO TUESDAY
Trinidad, Colo, April 21.-One year
ago eleven women and children were
burned to crisp and nine men were
burned or shot te~death in the coal
mine strikers camp at Ludlow.
Tuesday was the anniversary of the
famous Ludlow massacre, known in
union circles as ''The Lexington of
Labor" Unprovoked, the machine
guns of the state militia and mine
guards followed by the torch swept
out the strikers tent colony. Today
in place of a canvas town of LOO
souls a scant dozen tents are scat
tered in the bottom of the saucer
shaped basin where the tragedy took
place.
Accompanying E. P Costigan,
twice Bull Moose candidate for gov
enor of Colorado, and John r, Law
son, the labor leader being tried for
murder, group of union miners Wis
tied the scene Tuesday. They pointed
out the hole where the women and
children seeking refuge from the
sweep of the machine guns were
trapped by the flames. The big well
was still to be seen in which 72 wom-
en- and children huddled in terror for
eight hours, until under cover of a
freight train they reached an arroyo
that led to safety.

North Carolina. 1t doesn't sleep
on account of its inertia or in
ability to stay awake but simply
because it has no one to wake it
up and put life into it.
Wakeing up the anti-spitting
ordinance once in awhile in a town
is a live, good business from
more standpoints than one. Be-
low are the figures of one busy
town that found the time and in
clination to experiment with this
law. These figures represent
the number of persons arrested
for splitting and the disposition
of their cases from January l.
1915, to May |, 1915.
Persons arrested or summoned,
4Sl. Persons fined, $50. Per-
sons to City Prison Il day.. l..
Persons suspended, 80. Persons
discharged, q. Persons cases
pending, 26. Total amount of
fines, $4,000.
Was the law not worth putting
into effect in thist own? 1t was
worth it to be rid of 481 nuisances
to say nothing of these as
sources Of disease infection.
From a health stand point the
splitting ordinance is one of the
best on the statute books. All it
needs is some live city officer or
health officer to resurrect it,
breathe new life into it and put it
to work.
Promiscuous splitting is not
only one of the flthiest habits
tolerated, but one of the most
dangerous. Dried sputum is the
principle means of spreading
tuberculosis germs, pneumonia
germs, diphtheria, common colds,
and nearly every other COM
municable diseases.

The New County Map

Notice of the new county map
issued by the Road Commission
of Halifax County is contained
in an advertisement in this issue
of the Herald.
This map is certainly going to
be of wonderful value to the
Roads Commission in its work OF
improving the county roads, will
help the Board of County Com
missioners in the more intelligent
discharge Of their duties, and
will be of service to many bust
ness men and private individuals
in the county.
This map may be obtained for
$500 from any newspaper office
in the county. 1t is a wall map,
approximately So inches long by
Al inches high, on heavy calen-
dared paper. with sticks top and
bottom. 1t has a complete index
ing system, showing plainly the
township lines in alternating
border tints. All the highways
of the county are shown, the mi
leage being indicated from fork
to fork in plain figures. I'M
proved highways are indicated in
boarder lines than the unimproy-
ed highways.
All Of the public roads Of the
county are shown amounting to
nearly six hundred miles. The
index shows the mileage by
townships. There are also index
ed693country residences, SO coun-
try schoolhouses for the whites,
IS for the colored, so country
churches for whites and colored,
63 country stores, A country
cotton gins, II country saw
mills, 3 country grist mills, and
70 county bridges. with the
length and width of each plainly
stated in the index.
These and many other features
connected with this new map
will make it a valuable map for
practically every business man in
the county to own. Mer-
chants, bankers. doctors. law
yers, will all find uses for this
map. Those interested may see
the map at the Herald Office as
soon as they are received. which
we understand will be in the next

WICKED in the Personal and
Local Items columns, will in
the future be segregated
under Reading Notice head
ing and carried on some
other page than the front

The segregation of these

readers to look over this class
of advertising at their
pleasure more readily than
heretofore, will improve the
appearance and contents OF

classes of advertising on the

A Few Hard Truths

A good newspaper is decidedly
the most valuable asset any COM
munity may have. 1t is an ad-
vertisement of the community
wherever it goes, it is a. booster
of local businesses and local in
dustries. Reaching into practl-
cally every home it provides an
easy and dependable method OF
communication, aiding organiza-
tons, plans, and movements for
community betterment.
A community without good
newspaper cannot by any stretch
Of imagination De called a live
community.
Revenue for production and
upkeep of a newspaper is derived
from two sources: subscriptions
and advertising, but it is prlncl-
pally from advertising that a
newspaper is enabled to exist.
Those who advertise in the
Herald are not only good bust
ness men but they are gooo
citizens of the community in that
they have the interest OF the
community at heart. For those
who do not advertise. we believe
the contrary may be truthfulls
stated.
Patronizing those businesses
which are advertised in the
columns of this paper, is one Of
the best ways we know to make
your local newspaper perman
ent institution.
