Twelve Hangings
In Two Days, Oct. AIS
Next at Chicago, iii.

= Chicago, Sept. 2.-Afl records for
legal executions in Cook county and
possibly in the state of Illinois, will
be broken here October IA and Is,
county officials believe, when II men
der.
Eight of the men are under sem
tcnce to die October IA and four on
the following day. In addition two
other slayers who have been con-
victed are awaiting sentence and it is
possible that they also may hang on
one or the other of the two days.
Chicago has had several wholesale
executions in the past--the most not :
able on Nov. II, 1887, when four of
the Haymarket anarchists Were
hanged-but nothing in the memory
of Jail officials approaches death
hist of II in two days.
/ Hangings in the Cook county Jail
take place in the corridor of one of
: the main cell blocks. There is just
room for a double gallows, so it is
probable, according to George F. Lee,
+. the jailer, that the. men will be ex-
Iecuted in pairs. The hangings will
cost the state approximately $4,000,
including a 500 fee for the sheriff for
/, each man hung.
Those to be hanged October IA are
Sam Cardinella, leader of black
hand gang whose members confessed
several murders: Nick Viani, Thomas
Errico, Frank Campione, Sam Lopez,
Joe Castanzo, Sam Ferrara and Henry
! Reese, the latter negro.
| The October Is list includes Ar
thur Haensel, Richard Wilson, Harry
Andre and Frank Eager. Haensel,
who killed his wife. was to have been
executed last spring but was granted
q reprieve five minutes before he was
to have marched to the gallows.
| Andre was convicted of killing a
Waterman while robbing a :. factory
safe. Wilson was found guilty in the
same case, although he was an anoth-
, or floor of the building when Andre,
his partner. killed the man. Thesjury
decided that as an accomplice he was
, equally guilty.

SPLENDID PLACE FOR BRUSH
Material Should Be Hauled Away and
Used for Stopping Washing
of Fertile Soil.

Brush and straw piles that viii be
in the way next spring should be
hauled away and used to stop soil
washing Aside from using straw as
bedding for live stock or spreading it
over fields, this is perhaps the best use
to make of it. Everyone has seen
enormous gu1lies cut in single season
and years spent in trying to undo the
mischief. The moral is stop the wash
ing while the ditch is small.
Small gullieS that have just started
In corn fields or wheat fields, or even
in pastures meadows, may often
be stopped with little straw Even
cattle paths in pastures often deepen
so that they need such treatment. In
other places 1t is necessary to plan to
sow sorghum to stop washing, but If
the gullies are more than a foot deep
and two or three feet wide 1t is usu-
ally better to use brush, according to
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture.
The brush dam gives better results
IF straw is mixed with the brush to
help hold the dirt Wherever the fall
is great enough to make the water cut
seriously it is likely to be necessary
to stake down the brush and straw so
that they will not be washed away.
The less busy winter time should be
used in active work to stop losses
from soil washing and in planning,
next seasons field work that the
fields will be planted and cultiva ted
across the slope around the hill
Then the rows will not run straight
down the slope and thereby furnish
the steepest possible channel for the
run-off from rains Those who have
such winter cover crops rye to hold
the soil in place are fortunate. but
those who do not should not hatter
themselves that no washing is going
on even in winter when there is less
rainfall

WEALTH IN WINTER
Canadian Farmers Turn Winter
Months to Good Account.

Large crops and good prices for the
wheat, oats. barley and flax from Ca
madam farms have made the winter
resorts in California at times resemble
a meeting of a Canadian farmers in
stitute, hut the practice among sue
cessful farmers of spending their VIM
ters ho1idaying seems to be on the
wane. After all, nothing can be more
dresome than having nothing to do.
and the farmers of Western Canada
are now finding winter employment
right on their farms which rivals the
attractions of tie sunny South.
Live stock is the explanation. &C.
coFt1fng to q six-foot Westerner who
dropped into the Canadian Government
InfOrmatio Bureau at 81 jackson
street. ST. Paul He was on his way
back to Western Canada with car
load of selected breeding stock which
had carried off blue ribbons at several
state fairs in 1919. 1--WE have found
said he "that there is Just as much
pleasure and great deal more profit
in developing herd CT prize stock as
in listening to the murmur of the sad
sea waves. Where we used to grow
grain exclusively now we are raising
stock as well. The fact that steers
raised in Western Canada took the
grand championship at the Interna-
tionaI Live Stock Show at Chicago two
years in succession shows how well we

teBht don't you find the life monoto-
nous?"
'sNot in the least. You see, we have
a rural club which meets In our
school house. where we thrash out all
kinds of problems. Here we exchange
ideas and also have occasional talks
from government experts, and the man
who goes abroad for the winter only
realizes how much he has missed when
at summer picnic he hears an adj
dress by nefghbor that would dc
credit to college graduate
'sIt was at one of these meetings
that we decided to import prize

trfct is raising some of the best draft
horses in Canada. The carload Oh
