Live Stock vs., Crops

Feeding crops is much like
feeding live stock. The farmer
who feeds his crops heavily of
the right kind of plantfood will
have the largest crops of the best
quality. Our showmen know
that if the baby flesh is once lost
from the calf, pig or colt, it is
an expensive process to get it
back and the young stock never
mature into such splendid animals
as they would have done had
they been kept growing from the
start. Plenty of feed gives the
calf a quick sure start. An alb
undance of the right kind Of
plantfood gives the plants a run
ming start, enables them to keep
ahead of the weeds, helps them
to resist disease and to mature
their crops. easily. These are all
important but the one that we
often lose sight of is the first,
namely, giving the crops a quick
start. The man who sees that
his soils and crops are well sup
piled with the right kind of plant
food will have the earliest, best
matured crops of highest quality.

Negro Who Yields Knife Is
Chased Through HAYDEN Store

A fight on the rear platform of a
street car followed by thrilling pur-
suit of negro by two white men
through Hayden's store and then
down Dodge street to Fourteenth
street, served to provide excitement
and entertainment for onlookers in
the vicinity of Sixteenth and Dodge
streets.
A negro boarded Dodge street car
and attempted to pass on Joe Zich,
4olS Hamilton street, the conductor, a
transfer that was twenty-four hours
old. Zich refused to accept it. An ar
gument ensued and the negro pulled a
knife with which he cut Zich's coat
and cap.
The negro then leaped from the
car and started flight, with Zich and
his motorman, Henry Newman, 3422
Avenue E, Council Bluffs, in hot pur-
suit. The negro ran into Haydens
store with Zich and Newman hot on
his heels. After winding through sew
eral aisles the negro broke out of the
store and ran down Dodge to Four

he took refuge in negro pool hall at
that point Zich and Newman also

Denverite's Visit to Daughter
In Omaha Is ThriIIinq Affair

To be attacked by his daughter
sweetheart, who mistook him for an
intruder; to experience his first ride
to police headquarters and his subse-
quent initial appearance in police
court, and then to see SIS of his
money forfeited as bonds by his pros
pective son-in-law-these are some of
the more sensational features of
Arthur Hughes visit to Omaha.
In response to an urgent appeal for
SIS from his daughter, Marie, l9 years
of age, Hughes, a well-to-do Den
yer man, made hurried trip to this
city. He found his daughter at the
Rome hotel and was with her in her
room when knock sounded on the
door. When he opened it he was
staggered by sound rap on the jaw.
Perturbed, he swung at his opponent
and lively battle ensued. Hotel at
taches interfered, and as a result,
Hughes, his assailant and his daugh-
ter were hurried to police headquar-
tiers.
There Hughes learned that his as
sailant was his daughters sweetheart,
whom he was particularly anxious to
see, in view OF facts disclosed by his
visit here. Hughes further ascer-
tanned the young mans name was
Ben Hastings, that his address was
2l20 Douglas street, and that he was
without funds. Angered though he
was, Hughes did not want to see
Hastings spend the night in Jail so
he deposited SIS for his release. He
then arranged bail for himself. His
daughter was not booked.
Hughes may have expected to see
Hastings in police court, but when
the case was called he found himself
there alone. He told his story and
was discharged, while the clerk en-
tered in his book the fact that Has
tings had forfeited his bond. Hughes
waited a half hour for Hastings to
appear, but he did not. Then Hughes
set out to find him,
