We are encouraging more stock of
all kinds and are getting some full
blood herds of cattle and hogs start

hogs, and we are finding a big i'm
provement along this line. We are
encouraging better barns and bet

We have gotten a number OF full

the other a pig club, both of which
did exceedingly well, as you all

Seventy of the Belgians were sent

three days and three nights for the
journey, which usually is made by
express trains in six hours. They
arrived home in an emaciated condi
ton, coughing, the greater number,
of them bearing evidence of having
contracted TUBERCULOSIS.
According to the statements made
by these Belgians, while in the civil
camp at Soltau they received at 6
o'clock in the morning a bowl of
some decoction made from acorns.
At midday they received half liter
of soup containing much water and
few turnips, carrots and shrimps,
served without bread or potatoes.

Under this regime the stronger
men went under and the weak soon
fell ill, SO that, the Belgians say,
deaths occurred daily. Two of the

hunger drove them to such extremes
that they crept into the kitchen and
collected Feelings of potatoes, tur-

who attempted to escape is report

a shot and finished with the bayo-

Nearby was a prison camp for
captured Belgian soldiers. The SOL

them on being permitted to attend
funerals of civilians. Plying their
countrymen they took to them Sc

The returned Belgians say that
the civilians at Soltau receive no
soap and are advised to use sand in
stead. Notwithstanding their suf-

work. although promised good food
and considerable pay.

On one occasion forty artisans
were taken away, and returned eight

Petition for Injunction.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 30
Every investigating agency of the
Federal government in Kansas
City was assigned yesterday to
the task Of learning if reasonable
motives are responsible for in
junction petitions seeking to re-
strain operation of the army draft
registration law, which were filed
in the State Circuit Court to-
day.
Hearing on the petitions has
been set for Thursday at the re-
quest Of J. ID. Shewalter, attorney
for the petitioners.
The petitions set forth that the
registration law is unconstitu-
tional, causing involuntary serv-
itude," and also is in conflict
with the Missouri constitution.

LOUISIANA PALMETTO
MAKES GOOD BROOMS.

Louisiana Palmetto, found in
abundance close to Lafayette, is
solving the high cost of making
brOoms, and what is more salts
factory, is turning out a product
that is the equal of that made in
the old way" said Senator j. r.
Domengeaux, proprietor Of the
Lafayette Broom Factory on Sim
coe street near Elizabeth Ave.
After three months of expert
menting | have reached the con-
clusion that this substitute is
bound to mean a great deal to the
broom industry. | am perfectly
willing, in fact / cheerfully offer,
to give any information concern
ing the use of palmetto for the
purpose as above outlined.
Gone Of the most important
features Of broom making with
palmetto is the process Of curing
the material. After it is cut care
must be taken to prevent the sun
from parching it, otherwise the
efficiency of the fiber will be ma
terially impaired.
1t should be aired in the shade
from eight to fifteen days. This
will assure the preservation of
the pea green color and will
guarantee the lasting quality Of
the broom. A little broom corn
can be used in manufacturing
the sweeper, this gives it the
proper effect, but it is not essen
tial.
"Brooms made with palmetto
cost one-half the price of other
makes and there is the additional
guarantee of durability. | see a
wonderful future for this indus
,ry. The waste material is
burned and the ashes makes fer
.ilizer | have found by using it

BERGER ABANDONS TRIP.
Socialist Who annot Attend
Stockholm Conference Says
Lansing Errs.

Washington, May 29.-Victor
Berger, Socialist and former MEM
Der Of Congress-, today abandoned
his attempt to get passport to
attend the Socialist peace confer
ence at Stockholm and said he be-
lleved the other prospective
American delegates would do the
same. The State Department was
unrelenting in its determination
to grant no passports.
In statement, Mr.. Berger de-
clared that without Socialist del
egates from the United States,
Great Britain and France. the
German influence in the confer
ence would be uppermost and I'M
doubtedly would lead to an under
standing between the Russian
and German Socialist forces.
"Thus, " Ben ger declared, "Sec-
rotary Lansing will bring about
the very condition he tried to
avoid. The american delegates
do not stand for a separate peace
between Germany and Russia we
want to bring a lasting peace to
the world"

Laredo, Tex, May 30.-Federal
officials here TODAY disclosed the
fact that from ID to 20 young
Americans with but little bag

ey and apparently Of good fam
ny, were crossing into Mexico

They 90 south ostensibly to
mine, prospect for oil or pursue
other occupations for which they
apparently are not trained, and
it is believed by officials, they are
leaving the United States to
avoid conscription. Most of the
young men are from eastern
states, some being from points
as far east as Maine and New
Hampshire.
