"DRAFT 258" AT THE
 EMPRESS SUNDAY

Draft 25S", starring Mabel Talia- ferro, which is appearing for the last times at the Empress today, is based on the selective draft and it's effect on the country, dealing at the same time with the underhand, crafty methods of the foreign agents who let loose all their skill at the announcement of the entrance of America in the world war. It is what might also be called a pie ture chronicle of the history of Amer ica, for it is a patriotic pageant of great scenes making up the record of the land of the free. The battle of Bunker Hill is shown, as is the battle of San Juan Hill with scenes of the regular cavalrymen charging in the re- enactment of this event. The battle of the Alamo in the Mexican War is shown. With exactness of detail the l signing of the Declaration of Indepen dence is reproduced with all the orig inal signers" on hand portrayed by l players chosen for the likeness to the | different men. The plot is built around one family whose two boys are af- 1 fected when number 25S is drawn at Washington. One starts out in open de- 1 fiance and becomes a soap box ora l tor,

MAKES 1T EASY TO ENLIST
F. B. Williams Cypres. Co., Ltd.
Will Pay Salary Difference to
Employees.

Patterson, La, April THE F.
B. Williams Cypress Company, Ltd,
is showing the way to the manufac-
turers in this state by urging all of
its employees, within the age limit,
to enlist in the army, the navy or
the marine corps. The following no.
tice was posted on the company's
plant last night:
1--WE believe that the time has
come for the young manhood of this
country to answer the call of the
President for recruits to the army,
the navy, and the marine corps. We
believe that it will be a question of
a short time before all young men of
physical qualifications will be draft
ed into the government service. It is
far better to enlist voluntarily than
to be drafted.
"This company urges any of its
employees, between the ages Of 18 and
IS, who desire to enlist, to do so at
once. This company will pay, for a
period Of one year to the families of
all married men, who have depend
ents to support, who enlist in the
army, the navy, or the marine corps,
the difference between the salary
they are now getting from this COM
pany and the salary the government
pays them. And, further, will pay to
the dependents of all unmarried men
the difference between the salary
now being received from this COM
pany and the pay from the govern
ment for period of one year."
There is considerable enthusiasm
here and it is expected that a num-
Der of enlistments will be secured

NEGRO CONFESSES GUILT IN
MURDER OF SENATOR BRADY
Victor Jones Killed Former Lesisla.
tor to Buy Dress for Woman.

Exatly one week after the crime,
Victor Jones, negro, confessed
Sunday to be the murderer of former
State Senator James S. Brady at
Waggaman, La.
Evidence corroborative of the
confession was collected by the
jefferson parish authorities. The
motive was robbery. Jones gave
most Of the money to a woman to
buy an Easter gown.
The negro is in q cell of the par
ish prison at Gretna. Sheriff Mar
zero said that, although feeling is
running high in the vicinity, he anti
cipates no mob violence. The case
will first be brought to the parish
grand jury's attention at its May
session, and, following indictment,
will be placed on the docket for i'm
mediate trial.
Dixie Lotion, of Morgan City, La.
is held as a material witness. She
said, that, on the morning before
the crime, Jones told her 'his rich
uncle" had just died at Waggaman,
leaving him an inheritance, and he
was going there to bring her money
for 1890 Easter dress" The negro
was at one time in the employ of
Senator Brady, and was familiar
with the latter's habits.
Senator Brady was murdered
Sunday night, April 1, while on his
way from his store to his residence,
about 100 feet in the rear. In COM
pany with clerk, E. S. Nicholas, he
had locked the store for the night,
and was carrying shotgun, which
he had been using to kill rats in the
store. Mr.. Nicholas parted from his
employer at a small gate leading in
to the yard. When he reached the
road, the clerk heard a thud. He
did not go directly to Senator
Brady's aid, but crossed the road
and summoned neighbors. A few
minutes later Senator Brady was
found lying face up on the ground,
his right temple crushed. By his
side was an iron bar, on which was
blood. The wounded man died, still
unconscious, before physicians ar
rived.
Jones' first admission of guilt was
made Sunday to the jailor, Desiree
Braud, and Charles F. Burgdacher,
deputy sheriff. They notified
Sheriff Marrero, who went to the
Jail in-company with his son, Leo
A. Merrero, and DR.. M. Earl Brown,
parish coroner. The authorities took
Jones, whose alias is "Shine," to the
scene Of the crime, where he re-en-
acted the murder.
Jones said that after leaving
Morgan City he reached Avondale at
5 80 p. m. Thence he went to the
Willswood plantation, near Wagga-
man, and selected an iron bar from
q scrap pile. He hid behind cistern
and waited for the senator to leave
the store.
When the clerk parted from the
Jones stole up from be-
hind and struck the victim with the
bar. The senator fell, face down, and
when the body became montionless,

FOR THIRSTY GARDENS

Doom Of Otherwise Carefully Han
died and Tended Patch-Con-
serve Water Pumped.

That the farm windmill should play
On important part this year in the
great food-production campaign, is the
belief of II. b. Walker, drainage and
irrigation engineer, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
1.-THE farm windmill should be no
Stacker this year." said Professor
Walker. cit should be ready day and
night to absorb the energy of the wind
to lift water for thirsty gardens. Lack
of timely rainfall is often the doom of
an otherwise carefully handled and
tended vegetable garden.
"This year the farm garden will be
an important factor in reducing the
cost of living. Accordingly, every pre-
caution should be taken 10 prevent a
failure of the garden crops. In those
areas where the natural rainfall is not
dependable, some simple method of ir-
rigation should be provided"
The farm windmill will serve faith
fully and we'll in lifting water for ir-
rigation if given an opportunity, Pro-
lessor Walker pointed out. This faith
fuI source OF farm power, however, will
not save the garden unless the owner
cO-operates in conserving the water
pumped. The average windmill lifts
water internationally and at a slow
rate. Consequently, If the water
pumped is allowed TO flow directly onto
the warm, dry soil, a small area only
can be satisfactorily covered. a small
tricliling flow does not spread literally
over the surface of the soil, but it per
colates deeply into the soil beyond the
reach of the shallow-rOoted vegetables.
If the water lifted, on the other
hand, is stored in tanks, barrels, or
reservoirs, a volume sufficiently large
can be ecured in a surprisingly shOr
time to effectively irrigate a much
larger area. A barrel of water CON
tanning 31h gallons will cover a gar
den bed six feet wide by eight feet
long, n inch deep. A quantity OF
water even as small as this, if properly
applied, will greatly help the lettuce
bed or the shallow-roOted radishes. II
is advisable, therefore, to S even
an ordinary barrel for storage, if moth
ing larger is available, in preference to
direct pumping.
A reservoir sufficiently large to hold
all of the water the average windmill
can pump in three or four days Is
much more desirable.
