CARLISLE PEOPLE TO THE FRONT
Our Dairymen Never Let an OppOrtu-
 nity Escape to Get The Best

A car load of fine Guernsey cattle consisting of COWS. heifers, and bulls were received here last week by Messrs. Albert Zimmel 1tan and Goltlieb Koch. who are leaders anong the dairy men of this section.
 In this lot MT. Zimmerman gets the first herd of pure bred Guernsey cows that have been brought to Arkansas, which he will place on his fine farm near town. The GuernseyS are re ported to be the finest grade of milkers in the country and will be one of the greatest additions to the dairy business that can De had.
 Mr. Koch will get lot of high grade heifers in the shipment, he already having a pure pred bull of the same stock to which he will breed them and raise his own milk stock. One of the bulls in the shipment goes to Mr. Fuetz of Screeton Switch
 Messrs. Zimmerman and Koch deserve credit for che interest they are taking in improving the dairy stock in the vicinity ot Carlisle, and now that this sec tion is almost entirely tick free there is little doubt that they will be very successful with this new breed of cattle.
 Carlisle is given up to be the leading dairy section of the state and her people takes pride in the fact that they have such men as the above gentlemen to boost the business and bring it to the successful point that is due it.. They have the ability and the en ergy that is necessary to upbuild this great industry and will suc- ceed to the fullest extent, is our prediction.
 7 In many instances the dairy business has been let drag to such an extent that it would not pay, but that is not the fault of the industry. as it can be made to pay abundantly with the right kind of management. and there
The Carlisle independent., 1918-12-12
is reason to believe the right kind of management is gaining ground every day in this section.
Protect the 0rchardists

The agricultural and horticul- tural forces of the state have de veloped a danger to horticulture in Arkansas which must be met at once. Fruit tree agents. Tn order to sell their goods. have in some cases approached the bor- der land of fraud. They have made promlses to purchasers which they know they can not fulfill. They are hurting the fruit industry immeasurabiy be cause the purchasers, expecting too much, are doomed to certain disappointment. When the dis appointed man realizes that he has been trieked and that he has failed he does not often put the blame where it should lie. He declares that orchards are not money makers. He is out of the game himself and he keeps many others out of it.
 Arkansas needs more good or chards both for family and com mercial purposes. This is a frui, growing state and has a wonder ful fruit record, but the big or ohards are confined to areas com paratively small. The country press should spread the warning against the dishonest fruit tree agent. If we are to have sue cesstul orchardists ip this state they must have good stock to start with and must know what Is necessary to keep this stock good and to realize proper prof. it on it.-Ark. Gazette.

DRAF 7 ACES MAY
SOON CHANGE
Proposals May Be Accomp-
lished in Time to Avoid Draw
ing on Class Two.

WASHINGTON, July 30:-Senate
and house military committee mem
bers believed today congress will pass
draft age extension proposals and
that registration will be accomplish
ed in time TO avoid drawing upon
classes two, three and four.
Opposition TO lowering the ages is
gradually disappearing, but q house
attempt TO prevent men below TWEEN
ty-one from being sent abroad is cer-
tain. Many members would be agree
able to some form for universal
training for men below this age.
making them available as trained
soldiers when they come OF age.
Although no word has come from
Secretary Baker TO indicate what
limits he will ask there Is u general
feeling that he will request registra-
ton OF men nineteen to forty or pos
sibly forty FIVE years Of age. Men In
touch with the war department, how
ever, incline TO think the upper limit
will more likely be around thirty
five. In this connection, II Is point
ed out that for the older men the
draft law would develop largely into
work or fight propositions, giving the
war department considerable control
over the Industrial disposition OF
available men.
This the department Is anxious 70
avoid. Secretary Baker has repeat
edly said the department has 40 dis
position TO control labor except inso-
far as Il is directly military.

MEEHAN IS OUT
ON $4,000 BAIL
Alleged Pickpocket Held for
Grand Jury--BeIieve "Union"
Puts Up Bonds.

John Meehan, the alleged profess
sional pickpocket, arrested here Sat-
urday night by Patrolman Edward
Morgan, yesterday afternoon furnish
ed $4,000 bond and is now out on bail
to await the action Of the grand jury
in his case.
Meehan has one of the largest rec
ords which prisoner taken into Gus
tody by the local police has ever
held. The New York police have rec
ords of his being arrested twenty-four
times since 1910 and It Is thought
likely that he was taken into custody
on several occasions which are un-
known to the police of the metropolis.
Meehan, who has travelled under
several aliases during his professional
criminal record. gave his lge to the
police here as thirty-two and his sd-
dress as 286 West Forty-seventh street
He is said to be one of the gang OF
professional pickpockets who work in
the vicinity of New York.
Meehan's core is somewhat similar
to that of Morris Moskowitz, the New
York professional pickpocket arrested
here by Traffic Officer John Murray in
the spring. Mosliowitz was also said
to have belonged to the union" and
after being indicted was found guilty
and sentenced to spend from two to
seven years In states prison.
MOSkOWltXb Dali was also uXeQ at
$4,000 when efforts were made by his
friends to get him out of the jail prior
to his appearance before the grand
jury.
The police and Recorder Piclxers-
gill have had sufficient experience
with pickpockets In the past to ro-
suit in their using every precautfon
in dealing with them. The first pro-
fessional pickpocket to be taken into
custody-said to be another member
of the ''union"-was nabbed in March
by Traffic Off1cer Murray after the
man had been detected by two young
women as he was taking a purse from
a mans pocket on the trolley. The
man gave his name as Harry Miller
and after being held for a day was
allowed to go free upon the payment
of 5000 bail TO await the action Of
the grand jury.
Miller was to appear several times
for a hearing but he never was seen
again. The act of this man in Jump
ing his bail has resulted in Recorder
Pickersgill going the limit in impos-
ing bonds for the appearance of al
legged crooks in the future. The bail
has been placed at $4,000 now in the
last two cases.

Pleas of not guilty were entered be-
fore Judge Thomas G. Haight sitting
in the United States District Court in
Newark this morning by the eight
lumber concerns charged with profit
eering in the securing and sale of
lumber.
Large Ira r. Grouse,
of this city, the Boynton Lumber Com

ments had been found by the federal
grand jury and who pleaded not guilty
this morning. Bail in each case was

set.
The lumber dealers are accused of
having taken advantage OF priority
orders last winter in purchasing,
transporting and selling the materials
and using fraudulent transactions In
so doing.
The business done by the eighr con-
Germs, II is reported, amounted to
about $500, 900, of which one New
ark firm alone is said to have done a
half million dollars worth of business.
Announcement was made yesterday
at the office of District Attorney
Charles F. Lynch In Newark that the
Department of Justice had ordered
the holding up of about $780, due
various firms as a result of alleged
profiteering transactions.
The charge is made that the lumber
men ordered the lumber during the
period of the worst railroad couges-
ton and had 1t delivered from the
south consigned to army officers who
knew nothing about IL.
Tho lumber came through under
the priorities so quickly, 1t Is charged,
that the dealers could demand almost
any price fo4 IL. They are also charged
with selling quantities of 1t 70 the
government at these high figures he

they could make deliveries.
Following the indicting OF the eight
lumber men, Judge Haight ordered
that the findings be put aside, un-
opened. until the time came for the
arraignment of the men. All of those
against whom charges had been made
appeared this morning and pleaded
not guilty, they being given ten days
by the court to change their pleas IL
they so desired. The date of trial has
not been set as yet and will proba bly,
not be announced until the end of the
ten days.

WASHINGTON, July sO--Reports
that Turkey has broken with Ger
many. though unconflrmed today. arc
increased evidence that all is not well
at Germany's back door.
Authorities inclined to doubt that
there has been an actual split between
the nations. But they did admit that
there was sufficient semblPnco of Re-
verify in the story TO indicate that
Turkey is increasingly lmperious In
he demand on Germany and Bulgaria
State department advices recently
have shown that the Turks were
reaching out with greedy hands for
territory now that the Teutonic en-
tente considers Russia and Roumania
fair spoils.
This has engendered bitterness in
Germany. II is doubted that Turkey
would split with Germany without
first trying 10 strike a bargain with
the Allies. Reports that King Ferdi-
nRnd OF Bulgaria has departed myste-
riously constitutes another angle OF
the turmoil brewing among Germanvs
friends. This government Is still walt

ports to the government and Brooklyn
authorities were to the effect that 9TH
ers had been caught when the copper
laden vessel sank The barge was
named the Ram and had taken aboard
the cargo of South American copper
ore from vessel on Sunday.
According to statements made by a
Brooklyn policeman and a United
States custom guard q loud report pre-
ceded the sinking OF the Ram. An
other policeman declared that shortly
after o'clock yesterday p'nrning he
had heard a noise " nich he thought
was an explosion and ran to the foot
OF Van Brunt street. He got there
just in time 10 see the Ram slowly
sinking. He called for help but by
the time II arrived on the scene the

Although the owners OF the barge
yesterday admitted the possibility of
an explosion having caused the sink

that the accident may have been
caused by a seam opening in the side
OF the vessel. The Ram was to have
