cution. While the detectives are
armed with subpoenas and sum-
properly executed. they may
not be compelled to serve them.
Held I'm High Esteem.
II is known that young DIR. John
Vol was held in high esteem by most
OF the people of his section of North
Carolina. but since his arrest and the
publication of letters supposed to have
been written by him, In which his
apparent duplicity Is revealed, IL Is
believed he has dwindled In the opin-
ion of some OF his former admirers.
His attitude toward Miss OlIie
White, q school teacher OF Middlesex.
to whom II was generally believed he
was engaged. has changed the respect
In which he was formerly held by
many.
johnson has a number of friends in
Richmond. They do not believe the
officers have. SUFFICIENT evidence upon
which to convict him. Everything, In
their opinion, Ia ctrcurnstantial. and 1t
Ia hard to convict upon such evidence.

at the city Jail, where he Is confined,
that in the past two days he has dis
played a cheerful demeanor and

Coroner whitfield, who Is a lead

COLTS FOR GELDING TRADE
Excellent Plan to Mouth Them and
Give Them Some Work During
Spring and Summer.

Colts for the gelding trade want
taking In hand early, and should be
well grown and well done from their
birth, so that at two years old they
should be big and strong enough to
do some work. 1t Is an excellent plan
to mouth them, and work them a
bit during the spring and summer
that they come two years old. They
do not want working very hard, but
a day or two at pillow, harrow, or cul-
tivator, and then a day or two at rest,
and then at 1t again for q few days,
and so on, gets them tractable, and 1t
seems to expand their muscles and In
duce growth.
Then when the harvest time comes
they can be turned off and run through
the autumn and winter, receiving just
a little grain and chaff through the
hard part of the winter to keep them
fit, and they will come up at spring
time, as three-year-olds, fit to take
their places in any job that 1t is
thought fit to put them 10.
1t must be borne in mind that they
should be taught to go anywhere and
to do anything, so as to get accus-
toned to oil kinds of work and noises
as well. They must be taught to pull,
and to back, and to stand still If re-
qulred.

If farm Is so fenced that the sheep

SOFT CORN MADE PROFITABLE
One OF Best Uses Is Feeding to Hogs
and Steers, According to Ne
braska Station.

One Of the most profitable uses for
soft corn will be In feeding hogs and
steers, according to the department Of
animal husbandry Of the University Of
Nebraska. One would be justified In
feeding considerable protein supple
ment In conjunction.
OIL meal and cottonseed meal are
relatively cheap taking into considera-
ton the cost Of good corn. Expert
ments have proved that they are worth
more than their own weight In corn
for feeding cattle.

America 10 today celebrating the birthday OF
a great soldier In every corner OF the land some
notice Is taken of the fact that hfty.eight years
ago a babe was born in Missouri whose name is
now known to all the world. John Joseph PERISH
ing stands as an example of the opportunity that
is before every baby born into the world under
Old Glory. His start in the world was no more
suspicious than that of millions of others In
fancy, boyhood and young manhood were spent,
lust as other American youth spend theirs, save
that he found occasion for employment OF his
talent in studious effort. College days over, an
officer in the army assigned to the work of mill
tary instructor at the University of Nebraska, he
worked with such purpose that before his tour at
the institution was ended he had been graduated
from the law school,
This industry has been characteristic Of him,
and when the Spanish war came on the country
Captain Pershing went into the active life of a
because he had applied himself. A few years
later, when President Roosevelt astonished the
country by promoting him over the heads OF hun
dreds to be brigadier general, he had commenced
to reap the reward Of his industry and the coun-
try to receive the service of man emnently
qualified for responsibility.
A simple soldier, silent, devoted and capable,
Pershing stands pre-eminent today. He typifes
Americas strength springing from the people
themselves. No better man could wear the au-
thority he has so 'spiendidly borne, nor more
completely represent the nation whose confidence
in him is without limit.

Reign Of Terror in Russia.

From every source in Russia we get news of
excuses and outrages committed by the bolshe-
Wiki in the name of freedom. This has been en-

preserve something of order and safety for the
people as by the economic condition of the land.
When Lenine and Trotzky proclaimed the Ere
public of the proletariat" they liberated force
that has destroyed not only the present, but the
future. In uprootng the bourgeoisie they set
about to remove or destroy the agencies whereby
the lite OF the people could be preserved Now

streets, preceded by famine and followed BY
plague. Victims of the firing squads and lamp
post lynehngs are but scattered few compared
with the thousands who have succumbed to hun
ger and disease. Winter approaches, and idle
and dismantled factories, untitled fields, burned
and broken machinery and all the CHASTITY wreck.
age in the wake OF the socialistc wave tell of the
presence of such restitution as not in all history
has overwhelmed people. Our utmost effort.
will not avail to rescue these deluded, deceived
and ignorant sufferers from the results of thel
own folly. A free Russia may arise from tn,
chaos into which it has been plunged, but no ma
