BATTLES
A BURLY
BURGLAR

Discovering q big negro bur-
glar under his beo at $3.50 Thurs
day morning, Theodore Burlough.
1923 Fawcett ave., ha6 a fierce
hand-to-hand battle with the
man, while Mrs. Burlough, sitting
up in bed with q revolver in her
hand, feared to shoot for fear of
killing her husband.
The negro won the brief battle
by throwing Burlough over his
shoulder and jumping thru the
broken glass pane in door Of
the bedroom.
Frank Wilson, a negro long
shoremans was arrested Thursday
afternoon by Detectives Mil0ne
and Thompson, and identified by
Burlough as the man who attempt
cd the burglary, according to the
police.
The only clue the officers had
to the burglar was a button torn
off his coat during the scuffle.
When Wilson was arrested his
coat lacke da button, and the re-
naming button on his coat COR
responded to the one found In the
room.
A noise In the room awakened
Mrs. Burlough and she reused
her husband. The bedroom win
dow was standing wide open, and
when Burlough turned on the
electric light he found that
someone had strewn his clothing
about the room. Nothing had
been stolen, however.
Getting back into bed, Bur-
Tough was about to fall asleep
again when his wife nudged him.
II heard another noise-I
think there's someone in the
closet!" she whispered.
Burlough arose once more and
opened the closet door. The place
was vacant. But at that mo-
ment he saw a movement under
the bed ard stopped to look un-
der. ..s.-. '.... ~
A huge negro, Weighing al
least 100 pounds. daretd out from
under, and Burlough grappleS
with him. ...
Burlough is a large man, but
he was no equal for the burglar,
who rapidly got the better of him.
Mrs. Burlough had pulled a re-
volver from beneath the pillow
and aimed 1t at the fightiNg, men,
but dared not pull the trigger.
During the fight, the two nrpn
lunged against the bedroom d6oa
and broke the glass panel. When
the negro had bested Burlough
he took headlong dive thru The
broken glass and escaped.
Burlough WAS little the worse
tfof his experience Thursday.

Encouraged by the campaign begun
a year ago he grew more hogs than
he needed.
He killed some hogs and stored
1,1O0 pounds of the pork in a ware
house in Memphis. This pork has
been in cold storage for several weeks.
This man has attempted to sell this
pork to dealers. They refused to buy.
They said that they were full stocked.
Some dealers told him that if they
bought the meat from him some af-
ternoon when they wanted supper
meat they would not be able to get
it from the packing houses.
He then went to the packers and
tried to sell it to them and they, too,
refused to buy
of pork that he would sell for IL
cents a pound.
Potatoes are still high in some parts
of the country and in some parts pota-

TRAVELETTE
A Twentieth-Century Ranch.
by NIKsAH.

The modern western cattle-ranch
is curious combination of the up-to-
date and the primitive, of last-cen-
fury romance and scientific practi-
cality. The cattle-ranch of western
fiction has vanished from everywhere
but the movie-screen; the traditional
cowboy, who hardly equalIed his pro-
totype in melodrama even in his
prime. is nowhere to be found now.
In his place is a capable individual
who handles a bronco and a Ford
with equal nonchalance, drives a
mule or a motor truck and trailer
with about the same outlay of pro-
ianity.
A visit to a big southwestern ranch,
where the open range is making its
last stand against the barb-wire fence
and the homesteader, gives an inter-
esting picture of the cattle business
up to date. Under the old system
of working cattle, with ten or twelve
cowpunchers and a chuck-wagon as
signed to each division of the enor-
nous estate, each man with a string
of eight or nine ponies, it would have
required sixty men and four or five
hundred horses to take care of the
cattle The actual crew for the
whole ranch is only fourteen men,
The bulk of the land in this ranch
lies in low, rolling hills sparsely TO-
lated with fragrant cedar bushes
An elaborate system of roads has
been laid out. radiating from the cen
trail ranch house. One of the most
important cogs in the ranch ma
chinery is a big road scraper pulled
by motor truck. Each of the COW
punchers has a light automobile as
signed to him for his own use, and
he has to be conversant with carbu-
rotor troubles as he is with the
heaves, and similar equine diseases
By the use of the motors, each man
multiplies his efficiency about ten
| times. On the old. great ranches
a cowboy spent a large part of his
life in getting from place to place
1t might be a two-day ride from the
ranch-house to the front gate. The
auto practically eliminates distance
No sight could possibly be more
typical of the modern West, or more
shocking to the romanticist who sees
his ideal cowboy mounted on a
champing cayuse, than that of a
soberly garbed high-hatted man in
shirt-sleeves chasing a bunch OF
yearlings down a canyon by honkine
madly on the siren of his Ford

EoR THE oEFICERs.

It is a we'll known fact that the
average commissioned officer in the
United States army today is over
whelmingly in debt. And it is fur
Their fact that his Indebtedness is not
as a result of money spent in civil
life but thru his expenditures to equip
himself for service in the army.
In our army we ask a second lieu
tenant, or first lieutenant, or a cap
tain to buy his own equipment-al-
most down to the last thing in apnar-
ell. Then the government lays down
an order providing for the proper
amount of equipment-an outfit that
costs the officer much more than he
is able to save.
Is this right?
Take the man from civil life who
enters training camp to become an Of
ficer. He gives up his career, his
family. his associates. and in many
cases his life-and pays the price in
sacrifice and in cash.
He buys equipment and clothing
that he has no use for in civil life.
After the war it will be useless to him.
He pays an enormous price for every
thing. For instance, the artillery sec
ond lieutenant must have field glasses
that cost $40. He doesn't buy these to
gaze at the scenery for his own amuse-
ment. He buys them for artillery
service.
Equipment isn't all the officer must
buy. The liberty loans, the insur-
ance-everything is put up to him in
a patriotic light that he might not be
Stacker in contributing to the cause.
Every one in the army knows that
top sergeant is able to make much
more money than a lieutenant. Yet
the lieutenant must be qualified for
his position, he must be responsible
for his company. he must be especial
ly trained for his work.
In this wealthy nation of our it
seems unfair that we should accept a
mans services in that game of life
! and death-the army-Snd then pro-
coed to charge him for them. The
British don't do it. The French don't
do it.
Why not pay our officers instead of
charging them for their duty in these
days of tremendous responsibility?
