SUBPOENA SERVERS FAIL TO
LAND REPORTERS

Subpoena servers in the ladies'
garment case before Judge Baldwin
failed to get one reporter from the
Chicago American staff yesterday
although two sleuths were said to
have been stationed in the Hearst
building to watch for the newspaper
men.
SUbpOenas were issued at the re-
quest Of Atty L. Jacobson when he
was not satisfied with the testimony
of an American reporter called to tell
where he got a story which quoted
Sol Seidman, vice president of the
Ladies' Garment Workers union, as
instructing girls to picket the strike
bound shops against court orders.
According to one report, scribes
for the American were instructed to
enter the staff offices through the
stereotype rooms and leave the build
ing by means of a back door.
At any rate Atty Jacobson has not
yet fulfilled his threat to bring in
every. writer on the American until
he finds out who got that story.

bosses to hang contempt sentences !

because the striker will spend his mo-

SCATTER ALL MANURE
Can Be Distributed in Cultivated
Field to Advantage.
II Fertilizers Are Spread In Fields
and PIowed Into Soil, They Will
No Longer Give Protection
to Insect Pests.

(By C. E. SANBORN, Department of En-
tomology, Oklahoma A and M College,
Stillwater)
At this season Of the year barnyard
manureS and decaying waste can be
distributed in the cultivated field to a
marked advantage. Fertilizers con-
sisting of manure and decaying straw
and hay furnish excellent harboring
places for gnats, bugs and flies that not
only menace the farm crops, but also
live stock and humanity.
If the manure and garbage are scat
tered in the open fields and plowed
into the soil they will no longer give
protection to the farm insect pests.
The value derived from increased pro-
duction on account of increased fer
tility will more than pay for the la
Dor. The civic improvement brought
about by clean yards and barns will
increase the value of the premises. The
mir will be purer and the disease germs
fewer, and the infection to both man
and stock reduced to minimum.
Much has already been discussed
relative to the removal Of manures and
filth for the purpose Of freeing the

clearly demonstrated that cleanliness is
one of the best preventlves for hog
cholera.
Now, If sanitary conditions are bene-
fetal to a hog, such conditions are
surely good for man. A man only
lives one life, and this life should be
one of practice rather than experiment.
There are no grounds for supposinS
that accumulation of filth and manure
can have no effect on the vitality of a
human being living in the vicinity of it.
If a man thinks that his obligations
are finished when he furnishes food
and clothing for his family he Is
wrong. He should share his intelli-
gence and demonstrate by putting saEi-
tary actions into practice for family
health protection. A family we'll
dressed and we'll fed, but without
health, is no particular benefit to a
community.
Nearly all the prevalent ills Of the
body are either directly or indirectly
disseminated by the housefly. The
fly cannot develop without breeding
places. Such places are generally con-
taminated with disease germs Of Vari-
Gus kinds. The elimination CT the
breeding places will rid the country OF
the flies, and also carry many of the
germs which they commonly carry.
Scatter the manure.

Highway Commissioner
of State Makes Report

Richmond. Feb. 2S.-S Seven hun
dred miles of improved roads were
built in the State last year under
the direction of the State Highway,

port of G. p. Coleman. the COM
missioner, submitted to the COVER
nor. The cost of this good road
work was 81 ST. $3.50. In ad-
dition fifteen miles of roads were
given asphalt or oil treatment.
Thirty-three counties had convict
road forces. In this work 2,006
men were employed Cost of work
ing the convicts averaged fifty
seven and one half cents a day.
Mr.. Coleman urges that every

every man in the county jail be
put to work on the roads of the
State, believing that development
will be generally beneficial to the
people of the county districts
Eighty, eight of the, counties had
use of convicts. Mr. Coleman sug-
gests that the convicts be paid five
cents a day for the time they are
on roads, so that wien released they
wi not be penniless. Interest is
general in roadimprovement, every
