Feared the confe derates.


One of the curious incidents OF the
first days battle at Gettysburg was
that neither Of the commanding Of
ficers desired to have the battle take
place at Gettysburg. General Meade
was anxious to fight at Pipe creek
and General Lee desired to meet the
Union forces at Cashtown. but the bat
tie focused near Gettysburg. The col
ored population were in a state OF
panic. for they had been taught to
believe that they would be totally an
initiated when the rebels" arrived,
and many OF them managed to get
farther north. dragging all their
earthly belongings with them.
An old resident OF the town tells
how he saw the negroes moving. and
how when the little children did not
walk rapidly enough their mothers
would say. "Fo' de Lord sake. you
chillun come right long quickl II dem
rebs dun kotch you dey tear you all
up" The warning usually had the
desired effect with the thoroughly
frightened pickaninnies. However,
when the Confederates came II was
found that they wanted food, money
and horses and that little attention
was paid TO the colored people who re.
malned In the town.

The substitution of a well-ordered
farm for the crowded, unsanitary, YER
min breeding and crime breeding
county jails is crying need. A move
was made in this direction at the last
session of the legislature when bill
was introduced calling for the estab-
lishment of two state farms, the
Northern" and the Southern" but
the bin failed for financial reasons.
Those who doubt the wisdom or prac-
t;bility Of committing misdameanants
TO a state farm are invited to investi-
gate the workings of the Kansas City
Municipal Farm, established about six
years ago. Conditions similar to ours
obtained at that time. The Board Of
Public Welfare awoke to the needs Of
the unfortunate violater of municipal
ordinances and the result was the pur-
chase of tract Of land. City prison
ers were put to work under skilled
overseerS. Buildings were erected
lands cultivated, trees and crops plant
ed and roads built. The farm is self
supporting today, and, best>of all, city
prisoners are humanely treated. While
earning their board and keep, they are

SAVAGE TIRE co.
INCREASES ITS
PLANT

The latest addition to the group OF
buildings occupied by the Savage Tire
Company of San Diego, California, is
warehouse of brick and steel con-
struction, which is now being erected
on ground adjoining that occupied by
the present buildings.
The new warehouse is on the tracks
ot the San Diego & Arizona railroad.
Al carload Lot shipments will be here
after handled from this warehouse.
The demand for Savage Tires and
Grafinite Tubes, especially from east
Cyn points, has become so great that
the need Of a new warehouse was i'm
perative. 1t will greatly facilitate the
handling of heavy shipments.
The new building will also be used
as 4 supplementary warehouse for
the raw materials used in tire con-
struction and as an overflow store
house for finished tires.
The Savage Tire Company will con-
tinue to use their former warehouse,
which is one of the most modern and
complete of its kind in the world
The cid storehouse is practically light
procf and is so arranged that the
temperature and humidity can be kept
at practically the same points con-
stantly. 1t is ideal for the proper
ageing of tires and all finished tires
and tubes will be stored here for a
period of sixty days for aging as for
