WHEELER AT WINDSOR
Bogus Check Man Taken to States
Prison to Serve Out Sentence.

Burlington, June 16.-Charles Ed
ward Wheeler, with many aliases, was
taken yesterday by the sheriff's depart
ment to Windsor, where he will COM
plete the sentence imposed in Benning
ton county court of not less than three
nor more than five years Wheeler
one oi the two most cunning workers
in bogus checks, was arrested in this
city Tuesday on complaint of a detec-
tive from the William j. Burns Detec-
tive Agency, taken before Judges
Hall and Tracy for hearing and order
ed committed to the house of correc-
tion for not less than two nor more
than three years, the original sentence
imposed in Chittenden county court
last fall when he was found guilty OF
passing a worthless check. The pa
role given him by the Governor which
gave him his liberty from the State
prison, where he was serving the sem
tence imposed by Bennington county
court, is also violated it having been
shown at the hearing that he had
passed about twenty bogus checks
in the West during the month of May.
Wheeler very much disliked the idea
! of having to return to the State pris-
on at Windsor preferring to first serve
the sentence at Rutland, but it was
| deemed best that he complete the sem
tence at Windsor, after which he will
serve his term at Rutland.

ARE YOU SAVING?

1t is we'll for young men to
know that dollars are like ducks
one follows another and though
they may waddle along slowly
aud with some effort, they wiil
eventually get there. We have
young men in this town who are
just starting out on the road Of
life, but where that road will
lead is for them to say. They
are earning a few dollars now
and as time progresses their earn
ing capacity will increase. II
the early accumulations are
thrown to the birds it is more
than likely that in later life the
buzzards will roost on the graves
of their ambition. But if their
first dollars are carefully laid
away in we'll sewed pocket,
and this lesson of thrift and frug-
ality is fostered and encouraged.
then iu time the bank will be,
come the depository of their
earnings and accumulations and
eventually wealth, and the eagle
will soar over the heads of sue
cessful men. These who waste
today will squander tomorrow,
and tomorrow is the agent of the
devil and the prime minister of
hell. Keep an eye on the young
men of our town, but keep both
eyes on those who spend wisely
but not foolishly, who are full Of
life and ginger but never carry
it to excess, whose eyes are fixed
upon the eagle and not upon the
huzzard. Like the waddling
duck, they may advance slowly
but they will get there in time.

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS

Ii is Mississippi's great honor
and service to furnish 10 the
Democratic party and the present
Democratic administral ION their
ablest exponent and their strong
est defender, exceptln4 Of course
President Wilson. Witch that
one notable exception, Senator
John Sharp Williams is the best
single asset OF the Demaeratic
party. In every way his services
are pre-eminent. So much does
he do and so ably does he do it
that a plain accoantof his ser
vices unavoidably takes on the
semblance of panegyric. To one
who follows at all closely the SEN
ate debates and considers the
burden he bears there i'll uphold
ing the party measures and de.
lending the administrators
policies and course, it seems
that without Mississippi's sena-
tor impotence and failure would
certainly be Democracy's por,
tion. So much is he called Qpor
to do and in SO many directions
are his services required, that he
declined with the approval of
his colleagues, the chairmanship
of any important committee; he
is general in chief and not burden
ed with the especial command Of
any single corps or division.

OWN YOUR CROP
INSTEAD OF Owe 1T
Food And Grain Crops VIII Make
Agricultural South Independent,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)- 1.-The cred
It system under which the agricultu-
raj south works and stays poor is an
alyzed In striking way by H. G.
Hastings of Atlanta, chairman of the
agricultural committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and a member OF
the executive council of the South
eastern Fair. He does not mince
words in talking about the situation
EVERY season during the last fifty
years." he says, there has been trou-
Bile in the cotton belt whenever the
crop was large and the price low, or
the crop short. Each time the cry Of
hard times goes up, and the reason
back of It is that the farmers cannot
get enough money to pay their debts
out of their so-called cash crop--cot-
ton. It is disheartening because 1t is
so absolutely unnecessary.
"A cotton farmers debts are large
ly for food and grain, charged up
against him on the merchants books
at two to three times the price that
those same items could be produce2
on his own acres, and usually without
serious interference with crop of cot
ION db large do uS AOW h1dhSo.
"The trouble Is that most cotton
farmers owe their crop instead OF
owning 1t when made,
"The credit way looks the easy
way, but 1t strangles most farmers
before they get through life.
IT have said repeatedly in public
addresses that no state or section OF
any country can be prosperous that
is regularly dependent on another
section for its food supplies. What
is true of state or section is true
of the individual farmer.
"The great exhibits Of grain, hay
and food products shown at the South
eastern Fair held in Atlanta in No
yember, give the lie to the statement
that these things cannot be grown
here at home successfully and prof
itably. ea
"a good big home garden kept
planted and rightly tended through
the season will produce half of the
living besides furnishing an abund.
ance for canning or drying from the
surplus
"When we make our food and grain
we will have few or no debts at the
store: we will own instead OF owe
our crops when made, and farm
wealth will accumulate in the south
instead of farm and crop mortgages

THE CREDIT HABIT"
IttaBena Times.

The credit habit probably more
than any other one thing is re-

W Nhenever you find people grow

result is the farmer gets no
money except at the end of the

Ihant to ''carry him" through

I arm gets the local banker to

banker az a result, must get the
large city bank to "carry him"

Iystem OF credit ls. however.
disastrous in its conse quences.
An the first place, as everyone
knows, man spends more on
iredit than when he pays cash
4 Ind sees the money go through
his hands. Secondly, large prof
its must be charged him for long
credit on uncertain returns Banks
would, we believe, do the coun-
TRY . selvice If they would grad

duce the credit business to nor

not use his credit sparingly should
be put under the necessity of ex.

debt unnecessarily. And it
appears to US that many mer-
chants are often exceedingly
reckless and invite ruin by ex-
tending credit whore it is un-
