a few dollars every wear to aid in
keeping our sailormen from going
ashore on foreign coasts. On the
coast of Morocco, at Tangier, and
at Cape Spartel, mariners used to ex-
perlence great difficulty in avoiding
disaster on account of the absence
OF warning night signals. Light
houses were sadly needed, and, as the
government Of Morocco would not
provide them, the great powers took
the matter in hand in behalf of their
shipping interests. Lighthouses were
established and the powers are as
sessed so much annually for their
maintenance. The share of the
United States in this expense is 1925.
In addition to this, an annual ap-
preparation of $4,000 is made for ex-
penses incurred in the acknowledge
ment of the services of masters and
crews of foreign vessels in rescuing
American seamen and citizens.
The people of Alaska who inhabit
the islands of st. Paul and st. George
receive special consideration at the
hands of the government. Congress
authorizes the secretary of the treas
ury to furnish them with food, fuel
and clothing, and for this purpose
$19, 800 is appropriated. Industrial
and elementary education in Alaska
costs the government $4,000 year.
To keep open the Washington monu-
ment congress allows an appropria-
ton of $11, 800 yearly.

JURY FREES NEGRO
MOB TRIED TO GET
Jim Keith, Who Escaped Wholesale
Lynching When Sheriff More
land Was Murdered.

AT Sylvester Wednesday a Worth
county jury acquitted Jim Keith, the
negro who was charged with the
murder of Sheriff Moreland of Lee
county on December 10. 1915. In a
trial last February Keith was found
guilty of murder, but was recon-
mended to the mercy of the court
and sentenced to life Imprisonment.
A motion was filed for a new trial.
which was later granted. In the
meantime Keith was taken in charge
by the prison commission and remov-
ed to the Richmond county chain
gang.
Many considered Mozelle Lake the
murderer. Lake made his escape af-
ter the crime and has never been
captured.
1t will be recalled that Keith was
removed from the Worth county jail
in January, 1916, and carried to a
place of safety shortly before a mob
supposedly from Lee county remov-
ed five suspected of completely in the
murder of Sheriff Moreland, carried
them to old Starksville, in Lee coun-
ty, and hanged them.

HOSPITAL MIXUP OF BABIES
CAUSES SORROW AND JOY
CURED BABY DELIVERED TO
MOTHER OF DEAD BABY
AND VICE VERSA.

AS result of a mistake in the rec
ords of the contagious diseases hos
pital at Yonkers, N. Y, one mother
recently learned that her child whom
she believed she had buried was alive
and well and another mother, called
to the hospital to claim her baby as
cured, found that her child was dead
Michael Napis went to work the
other morning humming Russian
melody, for a card which the priest
had translated for him had lifted the
shadow that had hung over his home
for weeks. 1t said his little girl, 10
months old, whom a white-jacketed
man had taken away in an ambulance
despite his wife's protests, had recov-
cred from infantile paralysis.
In obedience to the summons Mrs.
Napis was to call at the hospital and
when Michael returned that evening
there would be one more smile to well
come him.
Clutching the card Mrs. Napis took
her seat on the edge of bench in the
office of the hospital. When her turn
came she thrust the bit of pasteboard
at the trim, efficient-looking nurse
who questioned her.
A few more tense minutes and the
nurse appeared carrying a baby.
Smiling at the rapture in the mothers
face she laid the child in her arms,
drawing down the blanket trife.
Mrs. l. L.
emotion from the people who had
kept her baby so long, bent her head
over the nesting burden. Then she
wheeled suddenly, suspicion glowing
in her features. Torrential Slavic
sentences burst from her lips. She
thrust the baby back into the arms of
the nurse and collapsed on the bench,
weeping.
An interpreter was called. He ex-
blamed that Mrs. Napis said the child
was not hers; that she wanted her
own baby.
There was a considerable delay.
Mrs. Napis sat silent on the edge of
the bench, rocking back and forth.
Another woman entered. She was in
mourning and it was plain to see that
he, too, was a Russian. Mrs. Napis
1aid no heed.
With dulled eyes she saw the child
hat she had refused placed in the
arms of the woman in black. She
saw the grief-stricken face go blank
for a moment and then kindle with
joy.
Baby She Sought Was Dead.
Then the Interpreter was called
again. Sitting beside Mrs. Napis he
told her that her little girl was dead.
It had succumbed two weeks ago, and
through some error had been sent in
a sealed coffin to the home of Mrs.
John Valkoff, whose daughter, Rose,
8 months old, was also in the paraly-
sis ward.
1T was a mistake" the interpreter
repeated. "Your child died and they
thought it was Rose Valkoff."
Mrs. Napis rose slowly, and, with
out a glance at the happy woman in
black, the smiling baby or the efficient
looking nurse, she walked from the
~oom. She muttered something as
he walked.
"What does she say?" asked the
nurse, who feared the shock might
have unbalanced the woman.
"She says, What shall tell Mich
ael?" replied the interpreter.

R. W. Pearce, farm labor special ist for the United States Department of Agriculture. with headquarters at the office of the committee of food supply of the State Council of Defence, arrived in Hartford Friday morning with four farm laborers. These la borers were obtained in New York city by MT. Pease in response to re- quests made by farmers who were un- able to obtain labor locally and asked him to act for them in securing the necessary help.
 The supply of experienced farm la bor is scarce" said MT. Pea SC. This Is especially true of men willing to do milking and other dairy work. I talk ed with 150 men who wanted work but only four were sufficiently ex- perienCed to come up to the s<andard set by the farmers. Of the 150 men, about one-half were strong consci- entious. apparently reliable men, anxious to do farm work, but who had not had sufficient experience to quali- fy as experienced farm Iaborers.''
