Farmers throughout Louisiana are

"The early frost damaged a great
deal of corn, and the phenomenal cold
weather since that time has frozen n
great many ears due to the excessive
moisture in the corn. At least five
grains off of each ear should be tested
in a testing pod TO see that the corn
is good, strong and vigorous. We
don't want any waste time or waste
work this year, and il would be n
grave pity for our farmers to plant
imperfectly matured seed and be unable
to derive any benefit from their toll
and labor.

possible publicity by the press of the

Washinqton, November 2

Washington, November 2.
HERE is the key-story to the con-
IL fusion and impotence of the
spy-catchers and sedition CURRIERS' of
the United States:
Three interned enemy aliens-Karl
Heynen, Hugo Schmidt and r. A..
Borgemeister were brought re-
Gently to New York by one of the
dozen Investigating bureaus - the
Alien Property Custodian. The pur-
pose was to extract information re-
garding German holdings. Since the
United States had no power of prose-
cution over the men the Alien Prop
erty authorities installed them at the
Hotel Imperial, treated them as we'll
as they could, and "jollied them
along" for a couple of weeks, until
they had them in a communicative
mood,
At this point--the maximum of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bureau
of the government summarily took
hand. The Bureau of Investigations
Of the Department of Justice, which
is in the last analysis responsible for
nterned enemy aliens, took fright
oyer the possibility that the old
charge of treating dangerous Ger
mans too well would be revived. The
bureau ordered the three men to
Ludlow jail.
They went-and went mum.
The office of the Alien Property
Custodian protested to Washington
and demanded that the men be put
IN its hands again. Perhaps they
could still be coddled back into com
municativeness.

Another Way of

q the Bureau of Investigations de-
clded that they knew the real way to
make enemy aliens talk. They took
