BOSTON, Sept. TO- (By Asso-
ciated Press. )-Lawlessness was ram
pant in Boston today as result of.
the police strike which started late
yesterday. The situation which last
night approached anarchy, today APP
peared to grow more serious.
Orders were given to troops to be
prepared to be called out. The
mayor announced at noon he had
taken over control of the police de-
Ipartment from Commissioner Curtis.
state appointee.
It is estimated at least three hun
dred stores were robbed during last
might. Reports that sailors were.
rominent in the disturbances brought
armed guards from the navy yard.
Attacks on women throughout the
light were frequent. The atrocious,
vicious element suffered most. but ac-
cording to reports, no woman was
afe in little frequenetd districts.
Today crowds surged through the
down town streets. but generally had
he spirit of merry makers.

Objectionable because he is black,

The method of sorting the
several grades of wool, IN pre-
pairing 1t for market was given
a good deal of attention. Farm
ers often lose a good deal by not
sorting the feeces rightly. It
was advised that the paper twine
is best, and cheapest in the long
run.
A second culling and sheep
judging campaign will be made
this coming fall unless our plans
miscarry. In this trip we will

in addition to its ability to grow

try to make the next one a FIVE

The wheat situation
Word now comes that the trou-
BILE seen IN the wheat is a fungus
disease, that is more or less pre-
valent every year but that rarely
does much harm. Why it is
worse this time than usual is
not indicated. 1t is thought that
little more harm may be expect
ed.

Better buy your Soybean seed
The local supply will soon be
exhausted then they will cost
more. Many farmers at this time
plant soybeans in their corn, be-
cause they do not harm the corn,
they make more and better feed
and improve the soil at the same
time.
If this advantage interests you
why not line up, now? Try some
corn and soybeans, sorghum and
soybeans, sudan grass and soy
beans, and it is mighty certain
that all of them will not fail you.
More of these great forage crops
should be grown and if more
were grown fewer skinny
animals might be found.

Narrow Escape From Death

ANoAAOW AoSoPS AIOiA DSdlH
AS Romeo Sasse and his two
sisters Adalea and Lena were on
their road home from Salisbury
Tuesday afternoon in the big
Chandler car, they barely escap-
ed a very serious if not fatal
accident.
At the railroad crossing just
south of the Sam Allega farm
east of town, passenger train
number 53 west bound at about
4:30 struck the rear end of the
big car, knocked a fender and
the gas tank off and further
damaged the rear end of the
auto. Misses Sasse were in the
rear seat and six inches would
have meant the annihilation of
that part of the automobile. AS
it was, not one in the car was
injured tho all were frightened
as they had never been before.
At the point where the car
was struck, a train can be seen
tor more than a mile east and
nearly a mile west as the track
is straight, so it is apparent that
Romeo took a slim chance beat
ing the train across the crossing.
The engineer was on the oppo-
site side from that Romeo was
approaching and was unaware of
what was about to happen until
the fireman warned him, as the
car was headed north and the
train west.
The passenger train was back
ed up to the scene of the acci-
dent and the crew got out to
render any assistance needed but
finding none injured, took the
names of the parties and pro.
ceeded on its way, Romeo and
his sisters procuring means for
return to Salisbury.

The sheep culling campaign
This was whirlwind trip, for
the reason that it was desired to
reach as many parts of the coun.
ty as possible and we had but
three days in which we could do
it. We met about two hundred,
most of whom were sheep grow
ers. Special attention was given
to wool grades, showing those
that bring high or low prices and
why. Samples of wool were
taken from focks, and in the
same flock we could find sheep
wearing high price coats while
others were wearing cheap
grades. These coats while they
were mostly "all wool" were not
all "a yard wide" In the same
flock some were clean coats while
some wore dirty coats, and some
even wore ragged coats. The
cause of the dirty or ragged coat
was pointed out, and when a
cause is known remedy is more
successfully applied.

Lieut.. Marvin D. Williams

Lieut.. Marvin D. Williams,
late of the 18th Field Artillery,
has been sojourning at the home
of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J.
P. Williams at Ulmar, since his
discharge from service a few
weeks ago.
Lieut.. Williams is a veteran
soldier having served fifteen
years in the regular army, six
years of which were spent in
the Philippine Islands, one year
in Mexico with Pershing's puni-
tive expedition and one and a
half years in France, having
gone over with the first contin-
gent of American troops in June
1917. He wears three service
badges-the Mexican campaign
badge, the Philippine Congress
ional badge and the Philippine
lnsurrection badge.
Lieut.. Williams is a cavalry
man, having served in the I'd,
18th, 7th and 9Th Cavalry regi.
ments. AS this branch of the
service was not utilized to any
extent in the European war,
Lieutenant Williams, at that time
a sergeant, was transferred to
the Field Artillery. He re-
ceived his commission in the
field in France, direct from the
War Department without having
attended an officers school.
The lieutenant did not pass
thru the hard fighting in France
unscathed. He was severely
gassed at Chateau Thiery and
received a bayonet thrust in the
right leg at the second battle of
the Marne, which engagement
was the turning point of the
war. While the wound left
the lieutenant with a perpetual
reminder of that great battle, he
considers himself very lucky
to have escaped so lightly as he
lost many comrades in the fight
which brot many brave Ameri-
can soldiers and eternal glory to
army.
Lieut.. Williams states that he
expects to make his home in
this valley.
Another son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilbur Williams, lst
class private in the aviation Sec
ton of the Signal Corps, who
volunteered for service at Kelly
Field over a year ago, was dis
at Camp Lewis last
week. He is expected here for
a visit with his parents and bro.
ther before he takes up active
work again in private life.
John P. Williams, father of
Lieut.. Williams is a native of
this county but resident of
Gala. for wears. Lieut.. Williams
is nephew of Ed Williams west
of town.

Our Mail Facilities

The Gen, Passenger Agt. Tor
the Wabash sent an ad to several
of the county papers notifying
the public that two new trains
would be put on, one arriving
here east bound at 1898 a. m.
and one west bound arriving
here AL p. m. The ad also stat
ed that the regular fast mail
train which had been stopping
here at 1921 p. m. would con-
tinue to stop and of course we
were jubilant because it gave US
two mails, not of the grab sack
variety, No. 3 west at 2:l3 p. m.
and No. 2 east at 1881 p. m.
These also carry parcel post mat
ter which cannot, Of course go
in grab sacks. Since the ad the
train No. 2 has been ordered not
to stop here. hence we have but
one mail a day which is not of
the grab sack sort or does not
have to go to some other point
and be sent back and forth.
This office is now by far the
most important in the county,
being the accounting Office for
all other post Offices in the county,
but aside from that, to have i'm
portant mail subject to the un-
certainty of a grab sack landing
in the car, to be able to send a
parcel by post on but one train
which carries it direct to its des-
tination and not then to Dalton,
for No. 3 does not make that
stop since No. SO was put on and
to have sack after sack of mail
ground up under the wheels of
a fast train and returned in
shreds, is SO entirely out of the
question that if the officials in
charge of the mail matters on
the Wabash cannot afford relief
then undoubtedly they should be
instantly replaced with men who
can. 1t is the strongest argu-
ment which can be adduced
against government operation
of railroads that the service ever
since the government took over
the management of roads has
been universally poor.
Favors which have been cheer
fully granted by regular railroad
officers to this city and business
interests here have denied
promtly by irregular officers
purporting to be representing the
government since the Wabash
came under government control.
1t appears to be the fact how
ever, that old railroad officials
are still running the road and
purposely so conduct its affairs
as to bring discredit on the gov
ernment employees who are sup
posed to exercise authority. If
this is not true, then the govern
ment has been most unfortunate
in its selection of highly incom-
petent men to do the business.
