BURGLAR BREAKS
WINDOW AND ROBS
JEWELRY STORE
Store of l. J. Sharick is Looted by
Burglar and $175 Worth of
Jewelry Is Taken

After breaking the plate glass
window of the |. J. Sharick jewelry
store in the .Hellenthal building last
night thieves took goods from the
store to the value of $175. Several
display trays were robbed.
Although not absolutely cleaning
out the window, nearly everything
of value was taken.
The list stolen is as follows:
Two Big Ben clocks, two Baby Ben
clocks, one pair binoculars, one pair
of field glasses, opera glasses with
pearl frame, a telescope, three pairs
of eye glasses, a barometer, ships
compass and a safety razor.
Most of the expensive jewelry us
ually used for window display, was
in the safe.
No one has yet been found who
heard the breaking window. The
window glass was very heavy plate
and it was shattered by some very
blunt instrument which made very
large hole several feet in diameter
through which the thief extracted the
valuables.
The City and Federal officials are
working on the case and it is thought
the burglar will be apprehended.

and Loss of Blood

Clarence Thompson, rigger anC
logger employed by the Falcon Min
| ing Company at Falcon Bay on Cri
chagof Island. died at the Chichagof
Mining Company Hospital Friday
evening of of injuries received in an
encounter with brown bear "a hours
previously. The body was brought
to Juneau on the Ambassador, ar
irving at Juneau last night.
Thompson and four other men were
employed at the Falcon Mine. Thurs
day morning. Thompson who mac
sprained a wrist, being unable to
work went hunting In the afternoon
he suddenly ran onto large brown
bear that was eating a deer. Ire
bear heard him first and made tive
iumbs before she saw Thompson. AS
soon as the bear saw him, she made
straight at him. Thompson had time
only for two shots and they were not
aimed The shots were Ineffective
The bear hit the man twice, tearing
the scalp off, and fracturing MS
skull. Thompson fell and lay alb
solutely still while the bear struck
at him time or two, tearing of
his clothes and bit him a few times,
mostly on the legs.
Thompson lay where he fell until
into the night, then crawieG down
to the waterfront where he was
found about ten o'clock Friday morn
ing by fellow workmen, who alarmed
by his absence had gone in search
for him. He had never lost con
seriousness He was hurried to Chi
chagof where Dr. w Darcy Chace
dressed his wounds and rendered All
possible aid but he said from the
beginning that Thompson could not
live. He died that night.
The night Thompson spent in the
woods and crawled to the water
front, two miles OF more, with proc
trcally no clothes on him, was
very cold He had lost a grea;
quantity of blood and his skull was
fractured by the blow
Those who went to the scene OF
the battle with the bear, followed the
trail easily by the blood stains left
by Thompson in his night journey
They followed the bear for some
distance by the blood that came
from her bullet wounds but finally
lost the trail and returned
The dead man had been in Alaska
some time and has relatives in Min
nesota He served in an engineer
regiment in France, during the war
The remains were accompanied to
Juneau by R. G. Datson, chief ac
countant for the Chichagoff Mining
Company, and are at the c. W. Young
Companys Undertaking rooms.
Mr.. Datson is at the Gastineau
Hotel.
Clarence Thompson was we'll known
at juneau. 1t was from here that
he entered the army. He was too
old for the draft, so he enlisted and
served two years in France. Pre-
vious to the war he had lived in
this section for several years, be
ing employed mostly at logging. He
returned to Juneau after the war.
and last summer was employed by
the Deep Sea Salvage Company.
There lis a hint of romance in the
circumstance that Dave Housed who
handled his mail, has letter for
him addressed in feminine chirog
raphy, which was mailed in France.

IRISH POTATOES DO
BEST IN LIGHT SOIL
RESPOND TO HEAVY APPLIcA-
TloN OF COMMERCIAL FER
TlLIZERs.

The Irish potato thrives best In
loose deep son full of decayed vege-
tation The open sandy soil Of Ten
nessee improved by growing clover
and other legume crops produces
splendid potato crops. Manure is
needed on thin land and lime on sour
land. No not apply fresh manure,
lime or wood ashes directly to pota-
to crop. They aid the growth of scab.
They should be applied to a preced-
ing clover crop, but never at planting
time. Well rotted manure may be ap-
piled in the spring, applying it broad
cast at the rate of eight or ten tons
to the acre, and blowing 1t or discing
it into the SOIL
Potatoes respond to heavier appli-
cations CT commercial fertilizers than
most other farm crops. The best
method of application is to open rows
that are ready for planting with
broad shovel plow and scatter the fer
tilizer in the furrow and over two or
three inches of the middle on either
side. Again run the pillow in the fur
row to mix the fertilizer with the soil

MEAT PACKERS ARE

PROFITS FROM HIGH PRICED
HOGS VANISH WITH DECLINE
OF FINISHED PRODUCT.

From present indications meat
packers are going to be hard hit in
Maury county this season. During
the past month or so there has been a
decided slump in the prices of meat
and lard. From thirty cents a pound
lard has slumped to around twenty
three cents or little better whole
sale. One big packer in the county
stated today that he had offered one
hundred stands of good hog lard at
twenty-three cents and had not sold
it all. Sides and shoulders are quot
ed in Nashville at even less and the
demand is light Even hams which
have been recently the food of only
the idle rich have gone down TO
point where they are in reach Of com
mon mortals.
1t does not take much know

city of profits on hogs bought at from
fifteen and a half to twenty cents on
foot with the meat and lard therefrom

War on the scrub sires will be re-

one to three scrub sires would be elm

Committees have ben appointed in
each community to follow up the cam

The work of organizing boys corn

ner, and will keep accurate records
of the expenditures, and receipts from
the land they are working.
One way to make the "back to the
farm movement" success, is to keep
the boy from leaving the farm. Then
follow this logical conclusion To
keep the boy on the farm, 1t must be
made so attractive that he will not
want to leave it. 1t is human nature
for the boy to seek his fortune else
where If he is forced to farm in the
way his father did. "Old Beck" and
the cotton pillow line do not appeal to
the Imagination of the boy. He wants
power, he wants to use the most sci
entific methods. He wants to
see that he is actually producing re-
sults--to be business man, and to
farm in business-like way. This is
what the agricultural agent seeks to
accomplish. He hopes to have the
father do everything possible to en-
courage the boy in his early farming
efforts, rent him land at a reasonable
figure, and give him the benefit of his
experience.

AROUND BANANAS
WAS PUT ON EXHIBITION AFTER
BEING CAPTURED
ALIVE.

Much excitement was caused here by
the finding of a very peculiar looking
snake on bunch of bananas in a
grocery store
The stalk had been hanging in the
store for several days. All the ba-
nannas except the last three rows had
been taken off when the snake was
discovered, closely wrapped about the
stalk. 1t was captured alive by loop
ing string around its neck, and was
placed In a box. After covering the
box with glass, the snake was viewed
by a large number Of people. The
shape of its head shows it to be of
the venomous variety, but no one who
has yet seen it knows its particular
species.
