NATIVE HAY PROVES
BEST IN EXPERIMENT

Feeders of the south spend mil
lions of dollars annually for north
ern hays. The extension division
of the University of Florida has been
urging farmers of the State to grow
moro hay to supply local and south
ern markets. The custom of buy
ing foreign hay is merely a habit
formed when native hays were not
available.
A recent feeding experiment at
the Mississippi station showed that
native hay produced better and
cheaper gains than timothy
Twenty-one mules were used in the
test Each lot was given a balanced
ration consisting IF the same feed
except for the hay. Alfalfa stood
first ia feeding value and cheap
gains: lespedeza was a close second;
johnson grass was third; timothy
was fourth and Bermuda fifth.
The cost of a pound of grain with
each pound of hay plus the addition
al feed which was the same in each
case was alfalfa 81 cents; lesperdeza
81 cents; Johnson grass So cents;
Bermuda 81 cents. and timothy As
cents. The mules fed Johnson grass
made slightly greater gains than
those fed timothy.
These figures should convey a
great deal Of meaning to feeders who
have been using imported timothy.
There are many hays which can be
produced in the state that are as

NO JOB FOR A BLIND MAN

Running "blind tiger" is no job
for a blind man, is the opinion of
Dennis Mckee, a blind negro who
was arraigned before Judge Monroe
in the court of record this morning
on the charge Of boot-legging at
Molino. Dennis gave so many cog
emit reasons why a man in his con-
dition should not attempt the Illicit
sale OF "firewater" that Judge Mon
roe gave him a chance to mend his
ways.

THE EVANGELIST AND
THE EDITORIAL PAGE

An imported evangelist down in
St. Petersburg, disappointed in a re-
vival that refused to revive, and Of
Tended at the criticism of a local
newspaper over some of his utter
ances from the pulpit roasting the
town. played for even by the strik-
ingly original and brilliant remark
that the editorial page of a newspa-
per is seldom read and seldom worth
reading. Poor chap! How he must
nave been writing with vindictive-
ness and wounded self-esteem, Just
like a plain, common sinner instead
of consecrated evangelist deputed
to save souls, when he hurled that
cruel shaft deep into the quivering
heart of the timid, shrinking, sensi-
tive American press.
The editorial page of the great
Fourth Estate will now, of course.
go out of business, having learned
on this eminent authority that it is
functrs officio, a darned barren
ideality, a superfluous presence, a
lost motion, an economic waste a
hopeless sterility and an N G.. gen
orally. And yet we can visualize
this same evangelist perchance hot
footing to some newspaper Office,
wreathed in smiles, to verify a
thrilling rumor which reached his
ears that the paper had given him a
column leader on the editorial page
;praising his work and characteriz-
ing him as one of the great preach
ers of the day. Everything depends
on the point of view in this world,
good brother, and preacher and lay
man alike, we are all tarred with
the same stick of original sin and
vindictively resent the criticism that
belittlcs the little tin gods we wor-
ship as our own swelling and pre-
posterous egos.
The St. Petersburg evangelist
might as we'll decry the modern ap-
plication Of steam and electricity as
weak and negligible as to deny the
potency Of the editorial page of the
American press. That agency reaches
more people more times than any
other intellectual influence in the
nation, and the concentration OF
that influence upon a given purpose
can move all the millions of Amer
lea as nothing else in this world can.

Chris. Krieger, who escaped a

Kyes and States Attorney Lynn
while they were bringing him
from Detroit, Mich, to answer to

again in custody. Krieger made
his escape from the Emmons

custody at a farm house near
Maiden Rock, Wis.
Reports of the search for Krie-
ger after his escape show that

move on themselves when they
have to. Immediately after the
sheriff found his bird had flown
he and the states attorney
stopped at the next station and
proceeded to cover the neiehbor-
hood with telegrams and tele-
phones. The entire neighbor-
hood was alarmed and the resi-
dents one and all put on the look
out for the escaped prisoner.
However, Krieger seemed to have
disappeared as completely as
though the earth had swallowed
him. In the meantime, many

Krieger Again in the
Hands of the Law

and sundry were the ludicrous in
cidents to develop in the hunt.
Every man found away from
home alone was chased down to
determine whether or not he was
the man wanted. Searchers are
said to have run one poor fellow
nearly to death before finally
getting him, only to find it was
not the party he sought. A doc
tor had to be called to revive
him.
In the meantime, Krieger was
existing without food and only
thin clothing to protect him from
the cold. Finally, he decided
that he must have food and shell
ter. He went to a farm house to
get these things. The sheriff
was notified and came after his
man. Krieger was glad to again
be in custody. Cold and hunger
were more terrible to him than
the officers of the law.
Krieger tells of his escape as
follows: When he asked permis-
sion to visit the toilet he had no
notion of making his escape.
However, the chance struck him
as being a good one to give the
officers the slip. He felt hopeless
of being able to explain his case
to the court back here in North
Dakota a couple of thousand
miles from home, and among
strangers. If he could make his
escape he would do so. Accord
ingly, he smashed out the win
dow. He could not get through
with his coat on so he took it off.

When part way through the win
dow he found himself so tightly
wedged in that he could get
neither forward nor back. He
believed that he would be found
in just that plight. However; he
was able to reach the hand-rail
on the rear of the coach. He
literally pulled himself through
by grasping this rail. He then
swung to the edge of the
car-steps, got his coat and
stepped off. About that time the
train stopped to let a passenger
alight who had been carried be-
yond her station.
That Krieger is an ignorant
n-German young fellow
proved to be most fortunate for
the sheriff and his partner.
Krieger even believed that he
was safe when he alighted from
the train for he believed that the
officers could not get off the train
to follow him until they reached
the end of their journey--because
they had tickets that far.
1t has been a long time since
any affair has caused SO much
amusement locally as did this

written differently had not King
Winter marshaled his forces to
come to the assistance of the
sheriff and the states attorney.

The only difficulty that occurred
had comic opera flavor. In the ga
rage the men, for time, refused to
work with the women, Inquiry
showed that this was not a recru-
descence of medieval prejudice, as
you might think, but something very
different. One gentleman explained
it. why, see here, you know" says
he, 'Im a married man and l amt

In the sorting and packing depart
ment of this establishment nearly all
the mems places were filed with
women and the manager observed to
his astonishment that the women did
not seem to be as tired at the end of
the day as the men had been.
The government itself set an ex-
ample. About 200 women took the
places of men in the war department,
40 displaced men at the census office,
and about so in the board of trade.
Notwithstanding the numbers who

is largely of routine character, and
whose places could well be filed by
educated women of the middle class"
This met with immediate response
and 800 women stepped into addition
al places that had always been filled
by men.
Many women having some knowl-
edge of automobiles wanted to oper-
ate taxicabs. The slow old home Of

ment, declined to issue licenses.
Women never had run taxicabs;
therefore they never should. At the
same time, however, women were OPP

drove men out OF employment there
would be larger chance of enlist
ment and perhaps it die. But there
is no doubt this point did not escape
the attention of many employers
Those that were interested in help
ing on enlistments took advantage Of
it, and so did others that had an eye
singly to their expense accounts.
Women worked for smaller wages; if
they took mems places, so much to
the good. Business was business.
But the hopeful sign is that so many
of the women perceive the complex
situation they are creating and prove
that they are no children about essen
tial economic principles.
For instance, few days ago there
was called in London great confer
ence of these and other women to
consider the whole War Service for
Women scheme. The talk was of the
plainest One woman said fatty that
for women to go to work in the way
the government proposed, that is to

grounds, was not good sense, nor, in

this clear minded woman, would not
help the country, but only the great
profit-making interests, which are al
ready shamelessly exploiting the
needs of the nation" an undeniable
fact that men speakers always skate
around.
The conference adopted resolutions
making these points:
All women brought into industry
under the war service should join la
Dor unions;
No woman should work for less
than living wage;
Where a woman does the same
work as man she should receive the
same wages;
If the government wants women to
