/ Showers Of rain over most Of
the county gave crops a good boost
last week and demonstrators have
gone over their plots with Gee

rows and broken the crust to con-
serve this moisture. In case we
should have a droutb we viii need
to hold in the soil all the moisture
we possibly can, and many of us
have learned BY experience and
observation that the best way to
do this is to keep On dragging
through the middles. Either Of
the above named implements IS
good, and after the crust is well
broken, good work can be done
by dragging an old mower wheel
through the middle. This makes
a splendid block for use 10 dry

Agent G. H. Moody.
E. N. QuiIlaD, near Hollow
Rock Junction, has a fine l5-acre
field of corn spaced Is inches in
the drill with a hill of two soy
beans between. He has beans in
the drill with all his 35 acres Of
corn and says he makes as much
corn per acre with the beans as
without them. He has been SELL
ing Duroc pigs at $50 to $25 and
has just shipped twenty Durocs to-
Henderson County Pig Club mem

which was cut May Is, now has a
second crop in full bloom, ayerag-
ing more than knee high the last
of June. Mr., QuilIan says he
learned several years ago to pre-.
pare land we'll before planting,
cultivate shallow and frequently,
and to LAY by on a level.
Joe Robinson has just sold 49,
hogs, which weighed 10 pounds
each when placed on feed twoI
months ago. In 60 days they
gained 70 pounds each on % bush
els of corn and two acres of alfalfa
pasture. The $40 pounds gain at
10 cents per pound was worth
$l36 80, and the cost of the corn
at 81 so was $33, leaving $103 sol
profit on the two acres of alfalfa
pasture, which at the same time
pastured some sows and pigs and
furnished some hay. He has II
acres of corn on subsoiled land,
which shows up much better than
the remaining five acres Of the
field, which have not been SUBJ
soiled.
G. A. Thomson, of Westport,
is cQltivating cotton and corn ac-
cording to demonstration plans,
and reports that he now, with one

ton, and he is proud of the APP
pearance of his crops and invites

World Laws Sought
For Prison Reforms

Adolph Lewisohn. president of the
National Committee on Prisons and
Prison Labor, announced yesterday
that DR.. E: Stagg Within. chairman of
the executive council, had been sent to
Europe to take advantage of the pres
ent diplomatic situation to formulate
an international prison policy.
"a prison policy which all the ma
tions will eventually recognize as lust
and sound is possible of development
at this time, owing to the spirit of CO.
operation which the war has brought
about between this nation and those
comprising the Entente alliance" said
Mr.. Lewisohn.
"The National Committee on Prisons
and Prison Labor places emphasis upon
the right of the prisoner to receive
wages for his labor The committee
has been successful in establishing this
right in this country, the principle
having the Endorsement of The Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, the War In
dustries Board and the War Labor
Policies Board.
Or. Whitin's visit to Europe. we
hope, will do much to bring about the
international recognition Of this prin-
ciple, which the committee believes is
fundamen ntal to any solution Of the
prison labor problem"

Elkus Says Jews Look
With Hope to Wilson
Tells Judeans Kin Still Have
to Gain Freedom in
Eastern Europe

Although the defeat of Germany has
assured freedom to many nationalities
in Europe, this has not been achieved
for Jews. For them another battle
must be fought, Abram l. Elkus, former
Ambassador to Turkey, said in an ad-
dress before the Judeans at the Hotel
McA pin last night
In this battle, he said, President Will
son will be the Jews champion, and to
the Presidents attendance at Versailles
the Jews of Europe look with hope.
Speaking of the condition of the Jews
in Turkey, Mr. Elkus said:
ut had been hoped the new nations
recognized by the United States would
be willing to assure to Jews the rights
they themselves have desired, but
within the last few weeks we find these
very peoples the instigators and in
struments of prosecutions of Jews such
as have not been seen for fifteen years
Witness the events now taking place
in Poland, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Ru-
mania and other countries. To be de-
livered from this the Jews must look
to our President at the great peace
conference"

from Jewish relief work in Europe, said

II. S. Devises Plan to .
Protect Bond Owners

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA method
of restricting fraudulent or highly
speculative stocs promoting schemes
involving the trading of these securi-
ties for Liberty bonds has been de-
vised by the Treasury and may be
put into effect soon to protect the
millions of Liberty bond owners
against loss.
In effect, the Treasury's plan would
be sort of national blue sky" opera
tion, by which promoters would lind
their business subject to close scru-
tiny by the government Those found
suspicious or of actual fraudulent ma
ture might be barred from accepting
Liberty bonds in payment for their
securities through the government S
refusal to grant them operating IL
censes.
The authority for this plan is given
IN the provision in the fourth Liberty
loan ac' empowering the President
TO !nVestlgate and regulate bv means
or licenses Or otherwise" transactions
IN Liberty bonds or certificates Of in
debtedness for two years after the
proclamation of peace.
The law was based on the belief
that after the war hundreds of pro-
motion schemes would spring up to
offer stocks and bonds for develop
ment projects in exchange for Lib
erty bonds. This situation is now de-
yeloping, according to reports to the
Treasury
