Makes Success of Abandoned Farm.

In the July American Magazine ap-
pears the story of Jacob Mcqueen, who
took 45-acre abandoned farm and made
success of it through new method.
The author says:
"At first he planted corr, and his CON
rows were an agonizing zigzag. The viii
lage oracles declared that rabbit could
not run 80 feet between McQueen's corn
rows without breaking his neck against IA
stalk of corn. But the laugh wasn't al
ways on Mcqueen, for in time he devel-
oped enough outdoor bacteria to raise a
crop and to show the neighbors some
thing. One field that had never produced
corn enough to pay for the cutting sud-
denly yielded so bushels to the acre.
Thirty bushels of wheat, 80 bushels of
soy beans, and three tons of mixed hay
to the acre are now the rule on Nc
Queens farm. He cuts three crops of al
faIfa year. In spite of the-evidences be-
fore their very eyes, the neighbors and
the experts who came from afar would
not believe They thought there was a
trick about it somewhere"

Thousands Of people in Florida
signed agreements to purchase

But there remains q matter OF
Isonie millions Of dollars Of these
stamps yet to be purchased In
| Florida. Every man, woman and
lchild must come forward and help
purchase these. 1t is not q matter
to daily with. 1t has to be done
Ior Florida will not stand well IN

Iup this great nation.
From today on, remember this
every fine you buy another war
stan b. YOU ARE MATERIALLY
HELPING MAINTAIN FLORI-
|DA'S PLACE AMONG HER SIS
TER STATES. Your 1922 means
just as much as the $4.22 Of the
|Dlillionaire and these are so many
more in your circumstances than
there are in the circumstances Of
the millionaire that your act is
far greater than his and means
more, for it encourages others in
your circumstances to do likewise
and repeat.
The time is short. Redeem
your pledge and do as much more
as you possibly can. The money
these stamps represent is already

Mr.. and Mrs. d. r. Norfieet and

arrived here in their car, Tues

conditions, may settle here per-
manently. AS they are excellent
people, we hope they will become
permanent residents.
Six airplanes in tactical forma-
ton sailing gracefully above the
town, Saturday morning, attract
ed the attention and admiration
Of the whole community. This
caused us to fear that we may not
be thus favored very long and, at
the same time, to hope that the
government may find some good
reason other than war for con-
tinuing Dorr and Carlstrom fields.
On Wednesday of last week, a
United States deputy marshal
came here and, securing a guide,
went out to the Willow Pens Sec
Ition and arrested Tony Ruben and
took him to Tampa for a prelimi-
mary investigation before feder-

rant for his arrest was sworn to
lby Will Crawford, who charged
| Ruben with seditious utterances,
including abuse Of the president
of the United States. Ruden,
who was born in Germany, is said
Il have been outspoken in de-
Inouncing the United States for de-
lclaring war on Germany. Ruden
was in The Herald Office, Monday
morning, and emphatically de-
MED all the charges made against
him. He said his prosecution
was purely spite work.

Snow in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-The huge packing
plants of Armour & Co. and Swift &
Co. were shut down today because Of
the inability to obtain coal. The en-
ployes were armed with shovels and set
to work clearing snow from railroad
dreds of cattle and hogs are reported to
have perlShed on stock cars because
railroads were unable to move them
Chicago, Jan 15.-An army of work
ers estimated at more than 100000, in
GLIDING 10000 school boys today re-
sumed the attack on the great snow
drifts which for 4S hours tied up rail-
road traffic in this city and vicinity,
and caused what the health authori-
ties termed an alarming shortage of
fuel and milk.
The public schools were closed today
to permit the boys to shovel snow.
Every one of the u steam railroads
entering Chicago, resumed limited
service today, but officials said it would
be at least two days before anything
like normal passenger schedules could
be established.
AS soon as each railway line was
opened, efforts were directed to bring
ing into the city fuel and milk trains,
and it was announced that no tempt
would be made toward resumption Of
passenger service on any regular sched-
ule until the shortage of fuel and milk
had been met. Every ton of coal in
the railroad yards was confiscated by
County Fuel Administrator Raymond
e. Durham, and orders were given to
the railroads to divert what c al it has
on it's tracks to the most ava able yard
or team track. Every avail" Die motor
truck and similar vehicle has been
called into service by the fuel admins
tration for the purpose of moving the
coal. At the rate the railrt IDS had be-
gun the movement Of coal trains, it
was thought the fuel situation would
be quickly cleared.
Only few sections of the city were
supplied with milk yesterday and this
morning.
The Union Stockyards began today to
emerge from the huge piles of snow
that covered the pens 'and the switch
ing tracks within the stockyards area
Stock trains began unloading today
with a samblance of usual activity, but
numbers of the cattle and hogs were
found frozen in the cars.
The exceptional drop in temperature
which followed the snow and wind
brought it's QUOTA of trouble to the
Calumet river and South Chicago har-
Dor, which are frozen over for the first
time in five years.
