LiIler Bankrupt Case.
An appeal in the w. a Liller bank
ruptcy case to decide whether Judge
Wilbur H. Thomas, referee in bank
ruptcy. was right in holding that the
! w. A. Liller Building Company and
w. A. Lller were the same was ar.
gued before Judge Dayton late yes
terday afternoon.
It Is alleged that Mr.. Llller
while insolvent formed a corporation
consisting of members of his family
to deed property to this corporation.
The attorneys for the creditors con.
tend that there was no delivery OF
personal property by Liler to the
corporation. but that he gave only
an option, which was dated more
than four months prior to the filing
of the petition in bankruptcy against
him.
Referee Thomas held in his dect
sion. that the paper offered by Iii
Ter as a contract Of sale was nothing
more than an agreement to sell
which gave him jurisdiction in mat
ters even though the paper was more
than four months old.
A number of Liller's creditors yes

tons to his discharge in bankruptcy
which will come up for a hearing

I WASHINGTON. March 20. - The
number of national guardsmen called
into the Federal service for policing
| industrial and other strategic points
was brought up to $4,000 under or.
ders issued yesterday AZ the same
time the First regiment Of United
States engineers, scattered along the
Mexican border, was ordered back
to its barracks In Washington; the
navy took additional measures to
hasten construction and equipment
of fighting ships, and both the war
and navy departments announced
further provisions to facilitate re-
cruiting.
The national guard regiments or
dered out yesterday "for police pur-
poses of protection" are the First
West Virginia infantry. the Seventy
fourth New York infantry, the Sec,
ond Connecticut infantry and the
Second New Jersey infantry.
Troops Kept In Service.
Because of a misunderstanding as
to the number Of troops affected by
the order issued Tuesday stopping
rehabilitation of the guardsmen re-
turning from border duty, the war
department also directed that all
| min 10 al,
tered OUT of the Federal service but
have not left the state camps for
homo be brought back under arms.
The First Mississippi infantry and
Ambulance Company No ] Alabama
are affected by this provision. A
supplemental order Is expected to re.
call the First Kentucky infantry. a
part Of which was mustered out
some weeks ago. The regiment It.
self has been retained in the FEEDER
al service, and to eomjlete its organ
ization the missing units may be
brought back.
1t is not improbable that similar
supplemental orders may be neces-
sary in regard to other organizations
partially demobilized The war de,
partment orders are based on latest
ocial reports regarding the progress
Of rehabilitation, but in some cases
officials here have not been advised

More U-5oat chasers.
In the order for return of the First
regiment of engineers, Company r.,
at Fort Sam Houston Is expected
The other units will be assembled
and will proceed to Washington. as
soon as transportation can be pro
vided. The movement was announc-
ed without comment as to its pur-
| pose by the war department
At the navy department bids were
opened during the day for a large
quantity of ordnance supplies, and
| Secretary Daniels announced that ad-
ditional bids would be opened Sat
urday for construction Of submarine
chasers. He expects to order a large
number Of these small craft as soon
as all ship building concerns have
given the department information as
to their building capacities.
Big BattIeships Delayed.

ATTENTION NEEDED BY COLT
Grain Ration After WEAVING Com
posed Of Corn, Oats and Bran Is
0ood-Water Regularly.

A good grain ration for the colt af-
ter weaving is composed of one-fourth
corn, o%ne-fourth bran and one-half
oats, or one-fourth corn. three-eighths
bran and three-eighths oats. Crushed
oats are to be preferred to whole oats.
A feed-box In which to place the feed
can be put In the pasture field II other
stock will not interfere with the colt
while eating.
In late fall as the pasture grass
grows short, It should be supplements
ed with clover or timothy hay, all the
colt will eat. The colt at pasture
should have to drinking water
regularly. II there is no drinking wa
ter In the pasture field, turn the young
animal In to the water trough just MS
regularly ~ the work horses r
turned to water.

packing and uniform distribution Of
the corn. The entire surface, espe-
cially the outer edge, should be packed
firmly. The best help obtainable should
be stationed in the silo.
The large cutter with the correspond
Ing large capacity frequently saves
money in filling the silo, but 1t may re-
suit In a waste of the storage capacity
OF the silo. If the silo is filed rapidly
the corn has little time to settle. Slow
filling allows the corn to settle as it is
stored. with the result that more corn
can be placed In a given space. To over-
come this disadvantage Of rapid filling.
woven wire may be extended above the
top of the sil0, thus increasing it's ca
pacity until 1t a settle. Patent roofs
are made which serve the same pur-
pose. Refllling in two or three days
will accomplish the same end.

Distributing and packing silage In
the silo Is frequently neglected. On
less the blower has . distributor at
tachment there Is q tendency for the
cut corn to fall In one place In the
silo. II the silo Ia filled in this way,
the finer and lighter portions Of the
stalks are frequently blown to the out
side. and the heavier parts, ears and
butts Of stalks, are deposited in the
center, thus causing an uneven distri-

sequent uneven quality of silage. en-

cause Of soft places and mir pockets,
which later result In spoiled silage.
When the lighter portions are blown
to the outside they do not pack well
and the silage spoils near the wall.
Such spOilage, which really results
from careless filling, Is often attributed
to the silo. Thorough packing requires
plenty Of men and persistent work.

HAVE WINTER GARDEN CROPS
Lettuce and Radishes May BE Grown
for .Holiday-Force Rhubarb In
Dark Basement.

It Is comparatively easy, II n Is
willing to spend a little time In car
ing for a hotbed, to have several green
vegetable crops throughout q large
part Of the winter season, according to
the horticultural department Of the
University Of Missouri College Of Az
riculture. Ordinarily lettuce and rad
ishes may be planted in a hotbed soon
after cold weather begins and they will
be ready for the Thanksgiving season,
II well cared for. Another crop may
be grown Immediately afterward by re-
charging the bed. and this will be
ready by the Christmas and New Year
holidays.
Onions may be easily grown from
seeds under the same conditions. pro-
vided they are kept growing rapidly
and the temperature does not become
too high during the early part Of their
growth. After the coolest weather Is
past. IL the frames are not needed for
starting an early spring crop, another
crop, or even two. Of the same vegeta.
bles may be had In the early spring.
Another crop which may be had IN
the fall by transplanting about the
time frost is expected, Is celery. This,
when grown in the hotbed or cold
frame, will be entirely self-blanching,
which is IN added incentive to- using
1t In this way.
Any thoroughly dark corners In the
basement may be used for forcing
roots Of rhubarb or even asparagus at
any time during the winter. and parts
Of the asparagus or rhubarb rows may
be forced early in the spring by build
ing a coldframe over them about two
months before the ground would ordi-
narily thaw.

he NET THE NEW GENERAL
Canadian OFFICER Omitted Some Of His
Decorations, and Was Not Rec
oonlxed BY Lieutenant.

Col. R. Of the Canadian forces
had just been promoted general and
assigned to the command Of a brigade
at the front. His native modesty was
not impaired by his new rank. He put
on his cap an almost Invisible little
bronze ornament and pinned on his
shoulders two crossed sabers, likewise
