Policeman Proves Himself

Children Are Trapped on

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. children Of
Mr. and Mrs, Harry G, Schultz were
trapped on the second floor Of their
home at Sc North Robinson street in a
fire, while a burning stairway barred
the way to rescuerS who had crowded
about the door.
Mounting flames increased the terror
of Mr.. and Mrs. Schultz, who were
among those who vainly tried to fight
their way inside.
In this moment of suspense, when on
lockers feared that the children, wh0
range in age from 2 to IL years, would
perish, Patrolman Lewis, of the Sixty
climbed a porch pillar and reached a
the glass, he entered and found the
children.
Lewis guided them out of the win
dow and across the i~ce-covered porch
roof to the window OF the adjoining
house Of Harry Ellis. Ellis opened a
window and helped them into his
house. They were then able to de-
scend to their distracted parents in the
street. When the rescue was made the
house had become filled with flames.
Delay of a few minutes more would
have made the rescue impossible,
Everyone in the house was asleep
when the fire was discovered. John
Aylmer, who occupied #room on the
second floor of the Schultz home, was
awakened at 6 o'clock by a feeling of
suffocation. He found that his room
was filled with smoke.
He awakened Mr.. and Mrs. Schultz,
and the three descended to the lower

almost overcame them and drove them
into the street.
Then Mrs. Schultz started back for
her children. Flames barred the way.
1t was impossible to return to the Sec
ond floor by the stairway. The two
men tried to make the ascent. They,
too, were driven back.
By that time a crowd had gathered
and others ~endeavored to help in the
rescue. Smoke and flame made an i'm
pGnetrable barrier.
Lewis, who had appeared at the first
note of alarm, had hurried to the corner
of SiXty-first and Arch streets to turn
in an alarm without hearing Of the
danger of the children. When he re-
turned he vas told of their peril. 1t

W VALLEY NOW
GREAT HOG CENTER;
RAISE PURE BREEDS

der the same plan, receiving a million
dollars for the stock. In past a
cattle shipments we're almost unknown.
on top of this, the state marketed lsz
cars Of mixed stock-not much, but
something when M considers the new
ness OF the industry.
II IL a matter Of record in Missis-
sippi that the first cooperative ship
ment Of hogs was made Jan. -! 1916,
from Yazoo City, Miss, under the di-
rection Of County Agent W. R Riteh.
At a meeting Of county agents last
summer Mr.. Ritch was presented with
a beautiful watch by fellow agents as
a memento Of the occasion when he
started the first cor OF hogs from the
state. And that was only four years
ago!
IN three and one-half years after the
first shipment from YaZoo county, h
farmers Of that community grew enough
hogs to sell a total Of S525,l72 worth
through cooperative shipments, to say
nothing of what they kept on their
farms. And they started raising poul-
try, cattle. sheep and other things.
The pure-bred farm stock of this sort
which states in the lower Mississippi
valley have shipped In from Northern
states, upon which they have depended
for their foundation. win amount prob
ably to several million dollars.
IIOlh IGLldudy Miles, ~ III CoGO "a
the famous Yazoo Mississippi delta,
farmers of that community shipped be-
tween 90 and 60 cars of hogs TO market
in one day. 1t was but a few years
ago that Grenada county farmers a
never shipped a car Of hogs In a whole
year.
The same situation has existed in
Arkansas, in Tennessee and in Louisi-
ana. A few years ago they did not
raise enough hogs to supply home needs,
much less to ship any. But they are
features is the desire to start with
pure-breds. At first the North was
depended upon for all foundation stock,
but the South is getting far enough
along now that 1t is beginning to fur
nish it's own ~pure-breds.
Several things have entered into the
unusual interest that Is being manifest
ed in hogs and other farm stock, but
the basic thing is the nature of the
country. Its long growing and pastur-
age season, with luXuriant and cheap
reproduced feeds and forage, and short,
mild winters make production costs
very low. Live stock needs little or
no attention, save in hardening be-
fore shipping. Farmers were lax in this
for a. long time, but they are paying
more attention to it, finding that soft
pork does not command the prices Of
pork that has, been hardened through
a period OF several weeks Of real at
tention.
OF all the great future agricultural
possibilities of the lower Mississippi
valley, hog raising stands out proml-
nently as the coming big Industry, 1t
is going to be so because nature, in
all her wisdom, seems to have ordaine .

ARREST RED WITH
SHIRT Of CAR
Polish Police Get Man But He
Asserts That He
Purchased It.

WARSAW.-The Polish police have
recently made a number of very i'm
portant arrests among the Bolshevists.
Among them was that of the ex-sailor,
Posrednicki, at one time In the Rus
sian fleet, who was wearing a. shirt
formerly belonging to the car. He
states that he was at Ekaterinburg at
the time of the cars murder, and that
a quantity Of the royal underclothing
was hawked there for sale. He denies
that he was implicated In the murder,
but a certain amount of evidence is
available showing that he participated
in it.
The shirt Is a light blue linen gar-
ment with the monogram NJ A.. (Nich-
olas Alexandrovitch), ~surmounted by a
crown embroidered in-red thread on the
fabric, There Is Il mark showing that
it "a made by a firm in the Nevsky
Prospect. .Posrednicki, after his ar
rest, tried to get rid Of the shirt be-
fore being searched.
The activities of the Polish secret
service police have resulted during the
last six weeks in the arrest of nearly
all the leaders of the communist move
ment-ain Poland. The movement was
led by a central committee Of six per-
sons, at the head of which was one
Horowitz, a Jew HoroWitz, who was
formerly sent as Bolshevist ambassador
to Switzerland, was expelled thence and
came TO Poland.
Five members Of this committee have
now been arrested. Three of them were
taken just before the agricultural strike,
by which they had hoped to start a
Bolshevist movement in Poland.
A few days ago the police made a haul
of the whole of the executive commit
tee of the communist party, numbering
IA persons, during a meeting. There
is reason to believe that these arrests
have completely paralyzed the actfvi-
ties of the Bolshevist organization in
Poland. Until recently every socialist
demonstration was followed by the is
sue of a quantity of Bolshevist printed
propaganda. This propaganda has now
apparently ceased.
