According to Detective c. E.
Hooks, of the local detective de-
partment, Mason was arrested here
last winter while in the company of
several well-known police charact-
tiers. and locked UP on a charge of
vagrancy, and for being suspicious
character. He said that he was re-
leased after the payment of nomi-
nal fine. AS for the attempted rob-
berry on the national bank here, no
knowledge of such a plan is in the
hands of the police department.
Advices from Atlanta last night
state that the authorities have sent
kilograms to different cities of the
country in an effort to connect up
the different ends of Mason's story.
The police department here will fur
nish Chief Beavers with what infor-
nation it can get regarding the
man.--Jacksonville Metropolis.

TEN COMMANDMENTS IN
SEED CORN SELECTION

Seed corn selection is a chain of
mportantsteps each one more i'm
portant that the rest. The Expert
ment Station of the University of
Floriad suggests the following
points which should be observed in
selecting seed corn:
1. Go to the field when the corn
is still green. preferably when the
grain is in the milk stage.
2. Select from a place in the
field where average or adverse con-
ditions prevail, because good ears
produced under such conditions will
likely transmit resistance to such
conditions to offspring.
8. See that stalks are growing
in competition with other stalks and
that they have no advantages in
matters of fertile soil, moisture. air
and light.
4. Note the foliage
5. Select vigorous stalks, not too
tall. with the ear about half way
up.
6. See that the shank allows the
ear to turn down enough that water
runs off, not into thehusk.
Z. Select large ears. which have
we'll covered tips and marks those
stalks with string or cloth.
s. When the corn is mature, Sc
lect ears 9 to IL inches in length
and to 3 inches in circumference.
Well filled ears and straight rows
of grain are cardinal points.
8. Medium cobs, deep, slightly
wedge-shaped kernels, smooth
germs, only slightly wrinkled caps,
and unchanged seed are as impor-
tant as the rest.
10. Tell your neighbor about it..

man while sleeping in vacant
house on an obscure residential
