o'clock by two colored men. robbed OF
$50 and left in the store seriously

cupant Of a fat over the store. heard
the commotion on the lower noor' went
to inquire what the trouble was about
and was told by one of the robbers that
the grocer had assaulted his compan-
ion. Police think 1t was due to Lewis
timely arrival that Wolk's life was
spared.
WoIk was struck on the head with
cleaver and his skull may be fractured
He received two fractures OF the left

Physicians at Garfield Hospital said his
condition was so serious that they did
not want the police to do much talking
to him. He did not lose consciousness,
however, and his recovery is expected.
Asked for Pork Chops.
When the two men entered the store
they asked for a pound of pork chops.
and when the grocer had cut~the chops
and wrapped them the men walked just
outside the front door. conversed few
minutes and returned.
Make it two pounds" one of them
said, but before Wolk could cut the
additional pound Of meat one Of the
men grabbed him and the other made
for the contents of the cash register.
In an effort to protect his cash and
himself. the grocer participated in
desperate struggle with one of his as
sailants. and it was the noise OF over
turning boxes that attracted Lewis
from his apartment to the store.
When Lewis reached the front
Of the store the merchant and one
Of the robbers were clinched. and the
other colored man. who had reached
the sidewalk said to Lewis: See that
grocer trying to kill that colored man"
Wolk and his assailant parted about
that time and the colored man hastily
left the store. Joined his companion
and disappeared.

 THIRD GROUP
 '11 The voyage of the third group was uneventful.
 c12 In the forenoon of June 2S, when in latitude ...... north, longitude ...... west, the K. opened fire on an object about 300 yards distanct, which he thought was a submarine. The com mander of the group, however, did not concur in this opinion, but the reports subsequently, received from the com manding officer of the K and Lieuten- ant V. are too circumstantal to permit the incident being ignored. The conn manding officer states:
 The only unusual incident of the trip worth mentioning was on June 2S about 1O:05 a. m, the loolxouts reported something right ahead of the K. q had the bridge at the tme). When I looked, I saw what appeared to be very small object on the waters surface about a foot or two high which left small wake; on looking closer and with the aid of binoculars I could make out a shape under the water about 250 or 300 yards dread and which was too large to be a flaclSfish, lying in a position about 25 degrees diagonally across the Ks course.
 ordered the port bow gun to open fire on the spot in the water and sounded warning siren for convoy; when judging that ship had arrived above the spot first seen. I ordered right rudder in order to leave the submarine astern.
 A minute or two later the port after guns crew reported sighting subma- rine on port quarter and opened fire at the same time. The lookout from the top also reported seeing the submarine under the waters surface and about where the shots were landing
 MEN CHEER
 'All the officers and men aft had ob- served the torpedoes travelling through the water and cheered loudly when they saw torpedo miss a transport. Trey are not certain, though, which one it was, as the ships were not in line then and more or less scattered.
 "A separate report of Lieutenant w., U. s. N. the gunnery officer, is herewith appended.
 The K. kept bigzagging until it was considered that danger was past and in due time joined the escorts and con voy formed column astern.
 Report by signal was made to group commander of sighting submarines and torpedoes.'

 The famous Geo. Boss tomato was to be seen. It is an immense, bright scar let tomato, very productive with an av- craze weight of 16 ounces. This was originated by young George from several crosses. It promises wonders in years to come.

 He is also working on many vegetables to improve them and make them blight resisting. He will have to go some if he outdistances his father whose writjn os In years back were used as textbooks in many places.
 The two photographs accompanying this article are very interesting. One shows a section of his testing ground for flowers. The other shows where he is breeding" up new corn, to be known as 'McVay's $ lOo Bus1el Corn. The picture shows George standing beside 12-foot stalk of corn with five ears of corn on it. The stalks in this patch are as large as a mans wrist in some places.
 George is now working on crosses of tomatoes eggplant, beans, squashes, sweet potatoes and sweet peas. He looks for big things, and I wish him we'll
 picked George B. McVay Jr., out for this write-up because he is one of our younger business men who has made good the first year.

And now that The Weekly Age Herald has been com bined with Thursdays Daily Age Herald every week, it offers medium with a circulation of about 50,0o0 It is going to build up other business houses before long, If any readers of this article are dubious about results from money spent on print CTS ink in The Age Herald, just drop in and let young George or his father tell you about it.

 George was easy to land. He gave me a two-inch two-column ad for the Week ly. He had a coupon attached to the bottom of the ad which was to be filled in and sent back for a catalog. He esti- mates that he placed 400 catalogs through out Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida, the territory cov- cred by The Weekly Age Herald. Late~ on he advertised bargain packages" Q0 for 25 cents) of seeds. both vegetable and flower and was kept busy many nights until Il o'clock filling orders. Front this little start big business grew. Orders running into the hundreds of dollars be- gan to come in as the season advanced. "One fellow over near the Mississippi line has bought about $1So worth of seeds from me already this year He was one of the first who answered the initial ad put in The Weekly AgeHerald" said George yesterday. And all his neighbors buy from me also. Why. we have built up a continuous chain of business from wise advertising And as far as mediums are concerned, your Weekly Age-Herald has more pull than any other publication we ever used And now since you have combined it with The Daily Age-Herald every Thursday, with a cir culation of about 50,o0o, Its pull should be still stronger"
 When young George came back from the north, he immediately looked up a plot of ground close in where he could have his own trial grounds This he found in Norwood, half a block off the bus line. Yesterday George. The Age Herald photographer and myself went out to inspect this testing ground. And I must say, George Knows his business. Everything imaginable was growing-be- ing tested out for it's value in this section of the country. If any of the thousands of varieties proved to be of no value to purchasers, it will be eliminated from the seed house in the future.
 Scattered over the testing grounds are some of the following; Sixty varieties of dahlias of the following types: Cactus. decorative, pompons, show and peony. Fifty varieties of gladioli, ranging in colors from pure white through shades of red, bronze. yellow, pink. purple and blue A great variety of summer flower ing bulbs, consisting of the popular sorts,

INACCURACY OF STATEMENT

To show the inaccuracy of statements made to the men, we call attention to the statement made on the floor of the con- vention, as reported by the newspapers at today's session, when it was stated that the operators discharged every man who had joined the union Accepting their claim that over 22,000 men had Joined the union, this would mean that over 22,000 men had been discharged, which state ment if, of course, preposterious on it's face Another statement made was that the organization had been perfected with out strikes or trouble of any kind. This the members of the convention them selves know to be incorrect There are delegates in the convention from places where there have been strikes and in limitations. The coal operators knew when the agitators came from West Vir- ginia, Ohio, Indiana, Arkansas, Wash ington and other places, it was the n- tention to stir up strife and have a strike. They believe that there never was any other intention, and the mere fact that the wages paid are satisfac- tory and that they must find some other excuse for calling a strike will not change their determination to have a strike.
 "As further proof of our statement that the foreign paid agitators are causing the trouble in this distrsct, we call at tention to the newspaper reports of the proceedings of the convention, in which the accredited delegates to the conven- ton compain in effect that the conven- tion has been taken in charge by these organizers and outsiders, and that they the delegates-are denied the privilege of the floor. This supports our conten- ton that the coal operators of this dis trict are expected to turn their property and business over to foreign paid agita- tors, who will rule the companies with the same iron hand as they rule the accredited delegates to the convention"
