SAVE PLENTY OF SEED
 OATS AND WHEAT.
Dean Martin Nelson.

Dean Martin Nelson
 Arkansas farmers in the past have been too dependent upon seed oats and seed wheat from sources outside the State because many cut their entire crop for hay and save no seed. No greater mistake could be made this year because economic conditions de. mand that oats and wheat growers save seed so that an abundant supply will be available for fall, late winter and spring seeding.
 A greater acreage of wheat, rye and winter oats will probably be planted this fall than ever before. Certainly st is to be preferred that all fields be planted from seed grown under south ern conditions. Seed locally growr and from a variety which has 'made good" is positively preferable to an unknown supply.

 There was no difference In the keep ing qualities of fertile and infertile eggs, nor in the color of the shell. However, this holds good only when eggs are preserved the same day they are laid; otherwise. infertile eggs are more suitable for preserving.

Jersey Bandits Kill Driver
To Get $4O,0O0Load of Silk
Highwaymen Also Beat Up Chauffeur's Assistant
in Wild West Attack Upon Auto Truck ON Lonely
Stretch of Road Near Somerville, but Later
Abandon Booty

SOMERVTLLE, N. j., Aug. 21--A
hold-up in old wild Western" style,
with a powerful motor truck as the
modern substitute for the oldtime
stage, was perpetrated on Union Ave
nue., four miles from this village, early
this afternoon.
One man was shot to death, another
was badly beaten and motor truck,
carrying silk worth $4,000, was stolen.
The truck and silk were recovered
hours later at Aldcne, N. j., little
village near here.
No trace of the highwaymen has been
found. Tonight posse, organized by
William Nash, Chief Of Police Of
Bound Brook, is securing the hills in
this section of New Jersey for some
clew to the men.
The murdered man was Charles Hill
bert, driver of motor truck for kal
lenbach & Stevens, silk manufacturers,
Of 6 Bigelow Street, Newark, n. j..
His home was in Allentown, Penn,
where his wife and six children reside.
kallenbach & Stevens have a large
finishing mill at Allentown. Present
railroad conditions have caused many
manufacturing concerns to turn to the
motor truck for long distance deliver
les Kallenbach & Stevens among them.
Lonely, Sheltered Road
Early yesterday morning Hilbert,
driving a hugh truck started out from
Newark to make the run to Allentown
with the truck loaded. On the rear,
rode his helper, Frank Mayer, of New
ark. A short distance past Middle
Brook and just before reaching a road
which runs from Plainfield to Somer-
Vile, Union Avenue dips down and
runs a short distance between en-
bankments about thirty feet in height.
Woods come up close to the road for a
distance Of a quarter of mile or
more.
The highwaymen lay in these woods
on the top of the enbankment They
had clear view Of Union Avenue for
some distance. Just'as Hilbert slowed
down to cross Middle Brook and before
he had time to speed up again the
men sprang from their places of con-
cealment with revolvers in their hands
and ordered him to stop.
AS the numbering truck slowed down
one of the men ran around to the rear

Subways Lacked Men,
Says "Editor" Shonts

The subway situation has attracted
the notice even of Editor Theodore P.
Shonts, who has an editorial on the
subject IN yesterdays issue of "The
subway Sun" The editor has reached
the same conclusion as that voiced a
law days ago by Frank Hedley that
the worst is over" and adds: Things
are coming to rights"
Being an optimist hasn't interfered
with Mr.. Shonts's natural editorial ca
pacity for analysis, and he says that
lust TWO things were to blame-and, in
spite or the Public Service Commits
sion's verdict, he doesn't mention the
public as one of them. The real trouble
was, Editor Shonts says, that the sub
way didn't have enough men and that
II takes time 70 tune up signal system
such as IS necessary for the subway
system.
This tuning up, he says. Cannot be
rushed" but his verdict of speedy i'm
provement indicates that the signal
tuners are hard at work.

aging Little Republic

The so-called Spanish influenza" is
not Spanish after all, but German, just
like most of the other ills which have
afflicted mankind since 1911. At least
that is what the Swiss say. The dis
ease originated in the famine stricken
Central Empires, they claim. and was
carried to Spain. whereupon the Ger
mans dubbed it Spanish Influenza"

Hlbert's Body Removed
Chief of Police Nash, of Bound
Brook was notified and went immed-
ping first to pick up Mayer. When
they arrived, however, the truck was
gone and no trace Of Hilbert was to be
found.
A. M. Beckman, County Prosecutor of
Somerset County, was summoned by
Chief Nash, and after Mayer had been
locked up here as material witness, d
search was begun for the missing truck
and driver. An examination of the
roadside disclosed marks of many feet
and there we're signs of struggle.
Closer search led to the woods on the
opposite side Of the road from which
Mayer had been taken, and there,
partly concealed by shrubs, the body
OF Hilbert was found. He had evidently
been badly beaten before being shot
through the body.
Shortly afterward the driver of an
other truck belonging to the same CON
Germ reported he had found the missing
truck standing alongside the road at
Aldene. No effort had been made to
disturb any of its contents, and the
police believe the robbers became
frightened and abandoned it,
Hilbert was armed, and the broken
handle of a revolver which was found
at the scene Of the hold-up leads the
police to believe that he put up stub
born fight before being killed. Both
Hilbert and Mayer, according to Off
cials of the silk concern, were old and
trusted employees.

LoyaltyQ Questioned,
Heckscher Sues S
Women for Million
"Tinplate King" Demands
$5OO,OOO Each From
Society Leaders
By BRIGGS

HUNTINGTON, L. l., Aug. 21.-Au-
gust Heckscher, "tin plate king" and
realty operator, started suits yesterday
to recover 100000 each from Mrs.
Dorothy Van Schaick Kelly and Mrs
Tcenie Noel Johnston, both members
of the Huntington society colony, al
leglng that they slandered him by i'm
putting pro-Germanism to him. Having
instituted the suits, Mr.. Heckscher
started for his camp on Little Moose
Lake in the Adirondack League Club
preserve. Neither of the defendants
was at home to-day.
Mr.. Heckscher alleges that during a
house party at the home of Mrs. John
ston July s one of the guests expressed
doubt of the Americanism of any per
son OF German birth. to which another
guest added the opinion that the
Heckschers were proGerman. Mrs
Johnston, he charges, then uttered "the
following false, defamatory and mali
clous words concerning plaintiff: The
boatman said that Mr.. Heckscher's boat
went out every night at o'clock"
Say Spy Charge Was Made
BY this statement, Mr.. Heckscher
believed, Mrs. Johnston meant that
his boat, an $4,000 toy, went out
"clandestinely and habitually under
cover of darkness Upon the waters Of
Long Island Sound and its tributaries s
for the purpose of spying, conveying
information or supplies to or other
wise serving the interest of the Ger
man Empire"
He wants 100000 from Mrs. Kelly
because, he says, she went from Mrs.
Johnston's home to another house and
repeated what Mrs Johnston had said,
adding, "They even say that Mr.. Heck
scher's money is German money"
Mr.. Heckscher has had varied luck
IN the courts so far. He won a suit
which j: T. Morgan and other residents
of the Murray Hill section started to
prevent him from building an office
structure on Madison Avenue. He lost
$4,000 to John Kennedy, a laborer, who
was hit by Mr.. Heckscher's automobile.
verdict of Sl05 900 was rendered
against him in suit growing out of
the collapse of the Newfoundland Syn
dlcate, d mining company.
