BoOTLEGGERs LEAVE FULTON

OAN
An exodus of negro bootleggers
from Fulton took place Sunday and
"Bear" Brown and Atwood Nichols,
and the city police think it would be
impossible 70. anybody to get a drink
from a bootlegger now.
The negroes who peddle liquor got
pretty bold Saturday night, but when
some of the gang were arrested all
hands quit business. Two of the
towns most notorious bootleggers left
by train Monday, and others have dis
appeared from their haunts, indicat-
ing that they have either gone or are
hiding, under the apprehension that
they are wanted.
The city police and county officials
have kept pretty close watch on the
b~ootleggers since the saloons were
closed in February, and while they
have not been able to prevent abso-
lutely the unlawful sale of liquor,
they have been able to keep the bust
ness confined to a small scale.
Some of the negroes who have gone
may not come back, but others are
sure to return, and for that reason
the police are not worrying about
their absence. Jail sentence and work
begins on day of their conviction, and
II the guilty ones want to make a
short visit in some other town before
being locked up, it is all right. They
will have time to do their years WORK
on the county's road when they get
back-and if they don't come back
the town will be rid of some undesir.

OUTSTANDING PARAGRAPHS IN
GLYNN'S KEYNOTE ADDRESS


HERE are the "high points" in
Chairman Glynn's address at the st.
Louis Democratic Convention:
The paramount issue is whether
the course during the European war
is to be considered whether the
principles that have been asserted as
our national policy shall be endorsed
or withdrawn.
In his policy of peaceful nego-

the example set him by the greatest

HEADING For A RAID INTO U. S

HEADING FOR A RAID INTO U. S.
San Antonio, Texas, June 8.-Gen.
Funston announced yesterday that he
has what appears to be positive infor-
nation that Luis de la Rosa, a Villa
sta bandit chief, is marching from a
point south of Laredo toward the
border, with the evident intention of
raiding Texas somewhere west of the
Rio Grande City.
There are not sufficient United
States troops in that district at pres
ent to prevent de la Rosa andhis men
from crossing the Rio Grande, but
Gen. William A. Mann has reported
that he is taking all possible pre-
c~autionary measures. There is only
one troop of American cavalry in Ia
pata County, east of Laredo.
De la Rosa was one of the leaders in
the Brownsville raid a year ago and
Texas has put a price Of $1,000 on his
head. He and his band are expeced
to reach the border in two or three
days.

MANY SUCCESSFUL
FARMERS KEEP BOOKS

AAAA
REFERRING to the Importance of
bookkeeping on the farm just the
same as in any other business enter
prise, the Chicago Breeders Gazette
editorially says:
Most farmers who make much pro-
gress keep accounts. They figure
closely on the returns from their
whole business each year, and also
on each branch of it. When they sell
a load of cattle they can tell about
how they paid out. They know how
much it costs them to grow corn, oats
and wheat. They know how much in
terest they are making on their in
vestments and how much they have
| left out of their income for their own
time, after allowing current rates of
interest on their capital. There is
no other way whereby they can sure
ly locate the profitable parts of their
business and determine which lines
are not paying.
The great trouble with farm ac.
counts is that they are neglected dur
ing the summer when work in the
fields requires long days of attention
Then too, some men do not hit on a
system Of accounts which allows
analysis of the business at the end
of the year, Accounts miss their most
important object unless they can be
summarized to reveal the factors thai
make success or failure. With thi;
end in view, some of the county agri.
cultural improvement associations are
making an organized effort to in.
duce members to keep accounts. A
special effort in this direction is
commendable. 1t is getting at the fun.

EARNING $4,000

Although ne is the most widely ad'
vertised, the most written Of and the
most discussed cinema star in the
world, little II anything is known Of
the private life Of Charles Chaplin,
the s67O,O00 moving picture star.
Chaplin is just as busy a young
man away from his studio as he is
in it. He is what may be elassed as a
systematic worker and a systematic
liver. His day begins promptly at
$50 o'clock every morning. And
every night at ten o'clock, with an ex-
ception here and there, he tlrns off
the electric light and gives himself
into the hands of Morpheus.
Chaplin's day at the studio compris-
es anyhere from eight to ten hours,
depending on the Importance of the
production he is working on. In
many respects Chaplin is a hard task
master. He is a great believer in de-
tails and sees to it that every mem
Der of his company, from himself all
the way down the line do their parts
and do them well.
His day at the studio generally
ends about 4 o'clock. Half hour later
he is again in street clothes. But
this does not mean that ne rushes
away from the studio to seek some
amusement. Far from it. When the
day has closed so far as the actual
work is concerned, Chaplin enters a
little private office and lays out the
routine for the following day.
Then he leaves for a short spin in
his car, generally with his studio man.
ager or some other intimate and
winds up at the Los Angeles Athletic
Club where he is dimiciled during his
stay in Los Angeles. Until time to
dine, Chaplin lounges about the or
ridors talking with friends or reading
the afternoon papers. Dinner over,
Chaplin goes Immediately to his room
where he dons his "gym" suit and re-
pares to the clubs gymnasium. Here
he spends an hour each evening, box
ing, wrestling, tussling with the
weight machines and bag punching
followed by a plunge into the pool.
Hundreds of Letters
Following this, unless he has an
engagement to spend the evening
with friends, at a theatre, Chaplin
remains in his suite, answering the
mass of correspondents that reaches
him every day from admirers in every
section of the universe. Chaplin does
not pay much attention to business,
for most Of that is handled by one Of
his secretaries, whose duty consists
of nothing else. Although the letters
run into hundreds on some occasions
Chaplin replies each day to as many
as he possibly can.
His chief hobby, however is found
in his violin. Every spare moment
away from the studio is devoted to
this instrument. He does not play
from notes excepting in a very few
instances. He can run through selec-
tons of popular operas by ear and,
if in the humor, can rattle off the
famous Irish jig or some negro selec-
ton with the ease of a vaudeville en-
tertainer.
Chaplin admits that as a violinist,
he is no Keblik or Elman but he
hopes, nevertheless, to play in con-
certs before very long.
All told, Chaplin's day is an exceed
ingly busy one.

"HAsTY PUDDING"

'Hasty pudding" or corn meal
mush may be made with either milk
or water and quickly cooked, though
long slow cooking is conceded to
yield a better dish.
Good cooks insist the water must
be vigorously boiling and the meal
slowly stirred in, little at a time, so
the mush may be smooth and of the
proper consistency.
Hominy and samp, much coarser
than meal, require longer cooking.
The very coarse hominy is not an
economical dish where cooking is
done on a gas stove and fire must
be kept especially for it, but in house
holds where the range is hot all day
a dish Of it in a double boiler at the
back of the stove will almost cook
itself. To be properly cooked each
grain of hominy, though soft, should
retain its distinct form.
