So the prudent and patriotic farmer
will not only retain an ample supply
Of corn to last until the next crop IL
assured, but also will stock his farm
with as many sows and pigs as 1t will
be possible for him to pasture during
the spring and summer. and to fatten
on corn next fall.
The safest and the most patriotic
thing any farmer, or any other citizen
of America, can do now is to heed the
call OF his country and do whatever
the government may ask him to do
regardless OF cost, and trust in the
justice Of liberal nation to protect
him from greater loss than other
citizens will suffer.
It will amount to nothing to anyone
to gain big surplus of cash or to &C.
quire big profits from any kind Of en-,
deavor II In the end the war Ii lost
and America is compelled to go under
the yoke of the despotic Huns.
Before another hog fattening season
comes. the government surely will see
the mistake that has been made and
SO control the market that the farmer
will find it profitable to fatten hogs
and thus be rewarded for his patri-
otto faith in stocking his farm with
brood sows and pigs.

JUDGE TURNER'S CHARGE.

Judge Turner's charge on Sunday
closing had the right ring to it. There
is no difference in the enforcement of
the Sunday closing laws than there is
in the execution OF other laws. 1t is
true that the grand jury does not
have inquisitorial powers in such
cases, neither does 1t where murder is
done, but even in the absence Of a
prosecutor there is a remedy. II no
citizens will act as prosecutor the
court can direct the attorney general
to prosecute officially as is often the
case where none appears.
Judge Turner can always be depend
ed upon to speak word and q strong
one too for the enforcement Of the
law. He appreciates the fact that our
entire safety as q people lies In obed-
fence to law and respect for constl-
tuted authority. The Sunday closing
law is founded in good morals and
economically 1t is q sound and wise
regulation. Man needs day Of rest
in seven. There should be. aside
from all religious considerations. a
cessation Of labor on at least one day
OF the week. All work and no play
makes jack dull boy. is an old say
ing just as true today as ever.
The Herald believes in Sunday clos
ing first because 1t is the law. This
paper stands ever and always for the
law. But it also believes in Sunday
closing as necessary measure for the
protection Of very large element in
society who otherwise would be de-
MED day Of rest during the week
Hence regardless of any action that
may be taken at this term of the court
The Herald will continue to urge the
observance OF this and all other laws.

THIRTY-TWO YEARS IN BUSINESS
THIRTY YEARS AS POST
MASTER.

After thirty-two years of close at
tention to one business. C. j. Davis
has sold his grocery and general mer-
chandise business at Ashwood to Evan
Hunter and J. o. Walker, Of Ashwood.
The new firm will be known as Hunt
er & Walker, and both of these gentle
men will have active supervision over
the business, while Ernest Gibson,
who has been with Mr.. Davis for a
number Of years will remain with the
new firm as salesman.
In taking over the business, it is
the purpose Of the new owners to
make some splendid improvements in
the store and add largely to the stock
Of merchandise.
With the passing of Mr. Davis from
the mercantile field it means the end
ing of career of thirty-two years of
successive business in one stand. For
thirty years of this thirty-two he has
been postmaster at Ashwood, receiv-
ing his appointment as postmaster in
1889 under President Cleveland, just
before this great American completed
his first term. He has served since
that time under all presidents, regard

Democrat in politics. this never made

Qiently there has arisen an animated
but serious discussion OF whether the
farmer who raised big crop Of corn
should sell it In the grain or feed 1t to
porkers.
Looking at the proposition from a
strictly money-making viewpoint 1t Is
obvious that there is more money to
be made BY selling corn at 50 bar.
rel than there is in feeding 50 corn to
fattsn hogs at $3.50 or SIC cwt., at

But there are two other points to be
considered before q farmer should dis
pose Of all of his hogs and confine
himself to the grain business. First,

ly will perceive the wide divergence
In the prices of these two commodities

the farmers to do that which only they

There is no gainsaying the fact that
at present II is more profitable TO sell
the corn than to feed 1t to fattening
hogs. but this market condition Is not

SCIENTIST BRAUN, MARCONPS RIVAL
 DIES IN NEW YORK

New York, April 22-Dr. Ferdinand Braun, who shared the Nobel Prize in 1905 with Guglielmo Marconi for dis tinguished achievements in the in Vention of improved methods of wire less telegraphy, and who was one of the leading scientists of Germany, died of heart disease late Saturday night at the Kings County hospital.
 The heart attack which caused Dr. Braun's death was induced by an overdose of morphine which he is said to have taken just after arriving at the hospital to ease the pain accru- ing from an intestinal disorder which had caused him to be operated upon several times in the last three years.
 Dr. Braun came to this country from Germany early in 1914 as a wit ness in litigation between the Mar conf Wireless Co. and the German company which built and operated the big wireless station at Sayville, L. I. That station, as we'll as the many other powerful German wireless sta- tions were made possible almost en- tfrely as a result of the research work accomplished by Dr. Braun.
 In Germany he was called the wireless wizard and was credited there with having done more than any one else to perfect control of the new system of communication.
 Signor Marconi, upon the out break of the European war, was sum- moned hurriedly back to Italy to take his place as an officer in that country s army. Alas a result, the litigation which had brought Dr. Braun to this country was indefinitely postponed. He was taken i'll and was reported to be dying immediately afterward.
 While in this country he made his home with his son, Conrad Braun, at POS Milwood street, Brooklyn. It was from there he was taken to the hos pital on Friday, when his illness took a sudden turn for the worse.
 Dr. Braun was born in Fulda, Ger many, in 1850, and early became in- terested in Scientific research work.
 He studied at several universities in Germany and then went to Scotland to complete his education. Return ing to Germany he taught for several years at Karlsruhe. but in recent years he was professor of physics at the University ef Srassburg. At var ious times he also held important posts in the schools of physics al Wurtburg, .Leipzic and Tubingen. Wireless telegraphy claimed Dr. Braun's attention in 1898, and for many years after that he applied himself almost exclusively to the task of solving the problem which then was little more than a dream. For a long time before that he had beer considered one of the highest authori- ties on the vibration of tense chord. and in later years his adherents 1T Germany insisted it was his discover ies that made possible the wireless in, ventions of Marconi.
 Dr. Braun had written extensivel! on wireless subjects and was wei known in this country through hi many contributions to The Electrician and other scientific journals.
 Services will be conducted at Il
 o'clock tomorrow morning at tn
 Funeral Church, Broadway and 66tl
 street, after which the body will b
 cremated and returned to German
 after the war.
