ALLEGED BEER DRINKER
CAPTURED AT WATERLOO.

Ed Schnering, wanted for the past
year for the robbery of the Cassville
brewery and who was successful in
avoiding arrest since that time hav-
ing once been released on a habeas
corpus writ at Charles City, Ia, af-
ter the deputy had gone there to get
him, was arrested at Waterloo, Ia,
last Wednesday. Schnering was
brought home by undersheriff Horace
Hymer. Some ninety-nine bottles of
beer were consumed following the
raid on the thirst factory and Ed
ward is thought to have had a hand
or face-in the matter.
The culprit was brought here Sat
urday and taken before G. Nv. Burrows
to plead on Monday. Schnering waived
and was bound over. He will wait
until fall unless he elects to plead
guilty Schnering resisted extra
dition but weakened when taken be-
fore the governor of Iowa and de-
cided to come without the papers.

CORN FAILING IN TEST.
Plant Extra Kernels in Each Hill is
States Advice.

That unusual deterioration of seed
corn is taking place throughout the
state this year is the declaration of
the seed inspection division of the
Wisconsin department of agriculture,
reported through Prof. A. L. Stone,
state seed inspector. One lot of corn
testing "a in January tested only 80
in February, and has dropped to 81
now. Similar instances have occurr-
ed repeatedly.
Commissioner Of agriculture G. P,
Norgord has issued warning that all
farmers should test all seed corn at
once, even if it has been tested before
If the termination is between 65 and
80, it is best to use it, as corn testing
better than that is hard to get this
season. It is important, however
that extra kernels be planted in each
hill, five or six instead Of the three
or four as usual 1t is advisable, al
so to mix thoroughly all Of the seed
so that all of the kernels may not be
planted in punches. A stalk or two
missing from several hills does not
cause the damage resulting from the
loss Of total hills

MAURICE MURPHY JOINS
UNCLE SANS JACKIES

John Maurice Murphy, son of Ira
Murphy of Lancaster, has been accept
ed as a recruit in the U. S. Navy after
passing a successful examination a.
the Milwaukee recruiting station.
Young Murphy was enrolled in the
reserves as a landsman for electri-
clan, radio service. He was sent i'm
mediately to the Great Lakes train
ing station for further schooling.
Young Murphy is one of several
from the Lancaster neighborhOod who
have planned joining the navy. 1t is
one of the few openings for men sub
ject to the draft who would rather
volunteer than await call by the
government.
Word was received a few days ago
that friendly aliens with first papers
may now be accepted. These include
all save Germans, Austrians, Bulgar-
ians and Turks The aviation service
of the navy also is open for the en-
rollment of machinists. Many other
special branches can be chosen by
men qualified and there is assurance
Of rapid advancement. Opportunities
are likewise splendid for those with
out any particular calling who enroll
as seamen.-Milwaukee Dispatch.

Friend Mr.. Sherman
Will write a few lines to let you
know I am still in Waco. Will and
Oscar Ohlert and Ernest Breithaupt
are also here. We are all fine and
are enjoying life too. 1t is warm
and dusty here although the crops
are doing fine. Was out in the
country last Tuesday p. m. The oats
are all headed out and the corn is
waist high. Cotton is doing fine.
Have had more rain here this year
than they have had for several years.
They say is they get a good rain the
last of this month they will have
good crops this year.
Five trainloads of soldiers left here
yesterday and seven today. Each
new job now. I ride corrals every
day. Seven of us ride and pick out
horses or mules that are crippled or
sick. We also break the unbroken
horses to ride.
The aviation section gave a wild
west show down in the cotton palace
few weeks ago. The riders from
the remount did most Of the work
and the aviation got the credit for it.
One of the remount boys made a
write-up about it and [ am sending
you the clipping.

close.
Best regards to all.
