New York, March 9.-Rev. DR.

sionary who was stationed in Russia
for eleven years and who appeared
as witness before the senate commit

ed a tempest when he declared in an
address at the central Y. NJ. C. A. in
Brooklyn today that President Viii,
son was "playing into the hands OF
the bearers of the red flag
Instantly there were cries OF
treason" and throw him OUT but
a sergeant of police, and three pa
trolmen saved the speaker from
rough handling by persons in the au-
dience of 700 who heard, his asser-
tion.
Three sailors in uniform demand
ed that DR.. Simons apologize. He re-
sponded by saying he believed Presi-
dent Wilson was as fine Christian
gentleman IS we have in America.
Later a Y. M. C. A. secretary apollo
gized in behalf of the organization
for the remarks of the missionary.
Charges "Pussy-Footing."
81 believe in respecting our Presi-
dent so long as he respects the tradi-
tions of our fathers" said DR.. ST.
mons in his address, "but when he is
guilty of criminal pussy-footing and
playing into the hands of the Boil
shevists and the Bolsheviki vote
getters, it is time that Woodrow Will
son should come to the mourner's
bench to be reconsecrated in the spir-
it of Americanism."
There were cries of throw him
OUT and some one cried that's Sc
dition of the worst kind" while 9th
ers tried to make themselves heard
above the din. When about 200 of
the audience had left the auditorium
and the missionary was able to 60
on, he seemed decidedly nervous.
Objectionable Remark.
81 believe 1 have the right to let
President Wilson know what I ex-
pect of him." he went on, ''even if he
IS the president. Haven't we the
right to request him to be an Ameri-
can? I am opposed to Bolshevism
because it was made in Germany. l
say that Woodrow Wilson is playing
into the hands of the holders of the
red flag"
At this point in his speech the
missionary was interrupted by cat
calls and he was surrounded by the
police.

AARON WALKER DIES IN CHAIR
Greenwood Negro Electrocuted Sat
urday.

Columbia, March 9.-Aaron Walk
or, Greenwood county negro, convict
ed Of attempted criminal assault in
that county and sentenced to die,
paid the death penalty in the electric
chair yesterday morning at 1850
o'clock. The condemned man was led
into the death chamber at 11:44 at
ter the death warrant had been read
to him in his cell about 40 feet from
the chair A negro minister had
spent the last moments with him.
Walkers death was the closing
chapter of series of singular and
coincident events. He was first SEN
fenced to die in January, but was
given a reprieve on account of the
State electrician having influenza.
He prepared to meet death the sec
ond time, February 21, but the cur
rent failed and he was given anoth-
er reprieve until March 8. His elec-
trocution yesterday establishes a
precedent in South Carolina, he be-
ing the first man to pay the death
penalty in the State on Saturday.
Friday has long been hangman' S
day, but with the precedent once
broken electrocutions may follow
any day in the week.
Walker died protesting his inno-
cence to the last. When seen in his
cell shortly before the time set for
the execution he said he was ready
to die and would give his life for
another's deed. When the death
warrant was read and he was told
that he had but few minutes to live
he again claimed he was innocent
After he was led into the death
chamber he was asked if he had any
statement to make and began sing
ing that he was an innocent man. He
thanked all the prison officials fo1
their kind treatment and said he
hoped to see them in heaven. One
thousand and eight hundred volts
were used on the negro three times
before life was pronounced extinct
by Dr.. R. T. Jennings.
Officials at the penitentiary had
become skeptical about Walker and
some were inclined to believe the ne.
gro's story. The body was not
claimed by relatives and will be
buried in the potter's field.

GREATEST MILK COW.
TiIly Alcatra Wins Honors OF the
World for Holstein Breed.

Again a dairy COW has given evil
dence of the astonishing amount OF
food that she is capable of producing
in one year, and again it is a Hol-
stein-Friesian that has beaten all
previous records for production.
Tilly Alcartra has been in the lime
light of the dairy world before. One
feat was a seven day record of 40
pounds of butter from 1921 pounds
of milk-but that is by the way.
Her production for 1918 amounts
to 33,424.S pounds milk, from which
the butter fat is equal to 1,332.25
pounds butter. She averaged over AZ
quarts of milk per day for the whole
year, and her total production II
sold at nine cents per quart would
bring a return of s1,400. For four
years she has an average of 27,629.4
pounds milk, 1852 pounds butter,
and for six years her average is
26,129 pounds of milk and 1,O23.lS
pounds of butter; while the total
production for the six years is 156,-
776.1 pounds milk, 6,141.36 pounds
butter. By this demonstration she
has proven beyond all doubt that she
is the greatest and most wonderful
milch cow the world has ever known.
The nearest competitor to Tilly Al
cartr> is the Jersey COW, Sophie, 18th
of Hood farm, whose six years pro-
duction is 75,920.S pounds of milk,
5,217 pounds of butter; the milk be-
ing less than half that given by the
Holstein. t'Tilly" is 10 years and
three months old; she has had six
calves, and is a sister of thirteen
COWS who have been credit to the
Holstein breed, two of whom have
exceeded 10000 pounds of milk and
over 900 pounds of butter in year,
and six have records from 1872 up to
pounds of butter.
She is a daughter of Alcartra Pol
kadot Corrector 30624, and out of
the dam, Tilly Lou End S2057. Al
cartra Polkadot Corrector is son Of
Alcartra Polkadot, 20 pound COW
having five A. R. o daughters, two
with records of over 81 pounds. "Til-
ly'' was bred by Mckay Brothers of
Buckingham, Iowa, and was purchas-
ed as two-year old by the A. w.
Morris corporation of Woodland,
Cal, in whose hands she has made
her big records.
Tilly Alcartra stands, at the be-
ginning of 1919, without peer in the
dairy world, having proven that the
Holstein-Friesian breed of cattle is
well-nigh incomparable.-Dairy Bull

Mrs. VIM. AndersOn's Flower Garden
Very Attractive.

One Of the beauty spots of Gratiot
county is the farm home Of Mrs. VIM.
Anderson of Sumner township, about
seven miles out of the city. Mrs.
Anderson, who is past seventy-six
years of age, has a flower garden
which would be very hard TO equal in
this section Of the country. She has
a great variety of shrubs and plants
so carefully selected, as TO bloom any
time, that from early spring until fall
her place affords great pleasure to
lovers of the beautiful. Just at pres
ent her possey beds are in full bloom,
showing a wonderful variety of color
and delicate tints from the perfectly
white through all the various shades

Mrs. Anderson tends her own
flowers and not only takes great
pride in the work but finds it source
of great pleasure
She is a pioneer of this section
having come here sixty-three years
ago from Canada and started a home
in the wilderness; in the days when
this county, which is now queen Of
the state in productivity. was known
as starving Gratiot."
A half century of activity is not
given to many of us and it is more
than possible that the love of beauty
and the spirit of helpfulness shown
by Mrs. Anderson through all these
years, has added to her life as well
as afforded pleasure to her many
friends. who have had the benefit of
her love Of the beautiful, simply for
the taking. The world is helped by
everyone who tries to appreciate its
beauty and add to it if possible and
here's the wish that Mrs. Anderson
may enjoy many more years with her
beautiful flowers.

THIS Is FOOT COMFORT WEEK

To read the history of shoes fur
nishes most pleasant pastime.
When first worn, the shoe was but a
plain object of utility on the street.
later it became more elaborate, al
though little attention was paid to
its fitting qualities. Most Of these
early shoes possessed very uncouth
shapes and were so entirely unrelated
to the structure of the foot that no
one of US now could possibly endure
walking about in them.
Foot discomforts and sufferings
have developed and fourished from
these primitive days. At that time
there was an adherence of pedestri-
anism on account of the excruciating
agony Of badly designed and fitted
shoes. Scientific correction was un-
yheard Of Today the presence of
springtime and the coming of sum-
mer is symbolized in remarkable dis
plays of the prevailing styles in
shoes. However, the foot is still in
cased in a rigid but stylish covering.
The proper fit is overlooked. And

slightest provocation of walking suf-
