BY Advertiser Paper Car
Driver and Turnedeover To the
Police 81 ~

Tony Ogan, otherwise and better
known as HPeanuts y, captured yester.
day morning two automobile thieves
who had stolen ear, according to their
reported confession, and wrecked 1t on
the Waialun road. "Peanuts'' brought
the men into town, through q
clever ruse, and turned them over to
the police. One Qf thgm was Ha'
waiian, the other a Ja1anese! Pea
nuts" was assisted by Private Charles
Connors, Company f., 25th Infantry,
who patched up the damaged ear and
drove il into the city.
While Henry Williams, owner of a
Ford car, was enjoying The dance at
Phoenix Hall on Saturday night. his
machine was stolen from the curb on
Hotel Street where 10 had been left
standing early in the eyening. After
the dance the owner looked in vain for
his car and then reported his loss to
the police station. q
Yesterday morning peanuts who
is chauffeur Of The Advertiser Is paper
delivery car for Schofeld Barracks and
Waialua, was running down the Waia-
lua hill when he saw an overturned
Ford car. With him at the time was
Private Connors. They stopped and
looked the car over and reached the
conclusion it could be driven again, If
righted. They worked for sometime
and got the car safely back on its
wheels, when "Peanuts" drove on to
Camp Liliuokalani, leaving Conuors to
put the steering apparatus in order.
Offer Lift
Both remembered that while driving
from town toward Waikakalaua Gulch
they had seen two men, a japanese
and q Hawaiian, walking toward Hon.
olulu and one seemed to have dam
aged knee. They figured that these
men had some former connection with
the wrecked car. When NPeanuts
returned from Kawailoa, Connors had
the ear in working order and both drove
toward town. . E..E....
Near the junction of the Scho6eld-
Waipahu road they, saw the two men
ahead. peanuts drove on leaving
COnnOrs behind. Peanuts sym
pathized with the men and offered to
take them in his car and help them TO
town. The invitation was accepted.
Connors followed. Before reaching the
city z" Peanutsn was sure the men were
those who had damaged the car.

Cure Hog Cholera with Oats.

Whenever a hog dies with a mysteri-
Gus disease folks call it cholera
About five years ago, says. G. w. Ward
in Farm and Home, my hogs began
to die and it was called cholera, but
really was pneumonia. / had seven
shoats that weighed about 14O pounds
each They began to get sick and in
two days four died l cut the car
casses open and found the bowels bad
ly packed. The contents were hard.
The lungs and heart were affected
and the liver cooked to jelly" The
hogs had staggard as they walked
and seemed to stiffen
| was feeding alfalfa, cut with a
scythe, and other green feed, but they
got sick just the same. To save three
out of the seven boiled oats and gave
them the water to drink for five days
and no other feed but cooked oats. I
didn't allow theoats to become sour
before being fed. fed the grain cold,
but gave the first water of the oats
warm, say for three doses and not over
pint to the hog, so as to be sure
they drank it all. Thre times in ten
hours is often enough. Just pour it in
the trough; don't try to drench.

Dig a Pit for Your Fed.

Farmers on the plains in New Mex
leo, Colorado. Wyoming, Utah and
Idaho and in many mountain valleys
where soil conditions are right, can
provide themselves with succuleut
feed for their stock for next winters
use by digging pit silos. 1t does not
cost much to excavate a pit silo and
cover the walls with two coats of ce-
ment plaster. And Prof. Morton ad-
vises that. in the present emergency,
in many soils the pit silo can be used
safely one season without plastering.
Corn, the grain sorghums, or sweet
sorghum may be grown for silage. All
kinds of stock need succulent feed
Dairy cows must have II to yield a
good flow OF milk when there is no
grass. A silo is the best insurance
of an income that the stock farmer
can have and IL he cannot afford an
erect silo. he can dig a pit wich will
serve him well for the present.
Remember the past winters experi
ence with the. price Of feed of all kinds
and no hay to be had in some sec
flons at any price. It is still time to
put in Sudan gfass- or to plant the
grain sorghum which best suits you,
locality, moisture conditions and altj
tude. or to put in a good acreage o,
cane Tor hay. With roughage in the
stack and couple Of pit silos filled
to the brim, the farmer can laugh a,
blizzards. In the rush for money from
wheat or beans, don't forget that mea,
ana milk are just as badly needed

It might be that the government
will not have to regulate prices of
farm products. It is expected that
there will be good prices. but even
that might prove disappointing. We
believe there is too much ado about
the food scare. Conditions might JUS
tify it-other conditions that are
equally possible, might reverse results.
We have seen onions spread on the
ground for fertilizer because they
could not be sold and pay shipping
expenses, and have seen potatoes after
being store all winter, sold to stock
feeders in the spring at zoe. a sack.
and all this within the past five years.
It costs now. $50 or more per acre
to plant potatoes. and unless the grow
er can get $500 per sack for them
in the fall, he will not make any big
money. Every acre of ground almost
that seed can be obtained to plant, is
going to potatoes, and it still looks
like good gamble
The Delta independent., 1917-05-04

The merest rumor of peace negotia-
tions is followed by heavy drops in
many of the products, like wheat, as
well as steel and other commodities
This proves that prices are entirely
in the hands of spectators and that
they are responsible for the extra bur
den of cost, instead of the war and
the extra demand it has created. One
of the "hellish" results of war is to
throw wide open the field of graft
and speculation on one side. and to
make it possible. or necessary, per
haps, to tax the people to the skin,
thus whip-sawing them off the face Of
the earth.

Worlds of water will be rushing
down the streams as soon as the
weather warm up and it is possible
to have very damaging floods. The
season is far enough advanced to war
rant warm weather coming suddenly
and the immense amount of new snow
that has fallen within the past two
or three weeks-three to five feet in
the mountains, would melt with rush
under warm sunshine and take more
or less of the packed snow with it.
Should the weather remain cool
through May. flood dangers would be
reduced; otherwise it is well enough
to sound a warning.

Why Discriminate?

The seven billion dollar issue of war
bonds is to be preceded by a wide
campaign of advertising and it is inti-
mated that the Treasury department
viii lask the newspapers of the country
to give their advertising space for
this purpose free of charge.
Many of them will do so: but we
think it is the first instance where
men are expected to give their stock
in trade without price. The grocers
are not asked to contribute each a
barrel OF flour to the quartermasters'
stores of the army. the munitions max
ers are not asked to give each a mil
lion rounds of cartridges to the ordi-
nance department. the banl-ers are not
asked each to contribute a thousand
dollars to the paymasters' war chests.
Yet newspapers have nothing to sell
but advertising space and they are
asked to contribute that. Jay Cooke
sold millions OF bonds during the Civil
War and he advertised them in every
conceivable way. He paid the news
papers full value for the space he
used. Everybody benefited.
This is not the only difference be-
tween William Gibbs McAdoo and Jay
Cooke as financiers.-Graud Junction

Nearly Million Horses and 2oo'ooo
Mules Have Been Exported.

Nearly a million horses and more
than n quarter of a million mules Is
the export record OF the United states
I'm the "a months since the beginning
or the war. says the New York Post.
A compilation by the National CITY
hank of New York. made on receipt
of the reports Of the great mortality
among American horses in the war
zone. shows that the number of horses
exported from the beginning OF Au-
gust. 1914, to the present time IS IN
round numbers 100000, and of mules
33O. 600. The stated value OF the
horses exported was Sl94,OOO,OOO ana
of the mules S66,00O.0OO.
The fact that this is mot a cavalry
war" and that automobiles, motor
cvcles. flying machines and obserVa-
ZION balloons are performing much of
thc service formerly required OF the
horse In war time, does not seem to
have checked the demand for Ameri-
can saddle and draught animals. In
tho first wear of the war the number
~ horses and mules sent out of the
country was in round numbers, 3V5,-
600 in the second year 100000 and in
the third year. which ends with next
month, will approximate 45O,oOO. FOR
the fiscal year ending with the month
of .mne, 1915, which is nearly idenu-
cal with the first war year. the num-
her of horses exported was 2S9,340
I'm the next year 357, ,553 and In the
