The Commercial Club had a rousing
and interesting meeting last Tuesday
and closed up the business of the year.
The reports show that much has been
attempted along the line Of Advertising
and of meeting the tourist with a well
come hand. Much discussion centered
in the dedication of the memorial and
the Old Settlers Picnic. The commit

them on the program. The Club was
treated to several very interesting ad-

Balboa's life. He came to the New

later he was executed In the public

Here is an interesting bit OF farm
Ing logic that looks sound, but the con-
clusion reached is absolutely false:
"Oats," the argument ruins, ARE
raised principally as feed for horses
and mules.
THE enormous increase In the num-
Der Of automobiles and trucks in the
country is making the horse and mule

therefore. with fewer horses there
is need for less oats, SO why not plant
less acreage to oats or stop planting
this crop nltogetherT'
The fallacy is twofold. The number
Of horses and mules on farms, II de-
creasing. is doing so Mt q rate so slow
as to have little or no effect on the
Oat crop.
Furthermore. statistics show that
American farmers nre not cutting
down the total out acreage but are
actually Increasing II.
Oats Proportion Growa
This Is not all. The proportion Of
oats to corn and wheat has Increased
steadily in the past generation. Half
q century ago in every 100 acres of
improved farm land there was an
average Of less than five acres sown
to oats. In each succeeding decade
OF the last so years the average has
been increasing. During the past ten
years 1t reached an average of almost
eight acres Of oats out OF every 100
acres Of improved farm land. In con-
trast to this increase in the last so
years. the number OF acres devoted to
wheat in each 100 acres Of improved
farm land has not varied much from
III, and corn has not varied greatly
from 20 acres -.

central xnropeans generally are stocky

varies with the class Of men. Early
emigrants to America before things
were made easy by the steamship com

races from which they had sprung.
They were picked men, full Of physical

that the moral pressure of the whole

RIOT HOAX Alarms. !.
vlRCINIANS

Alexandria, Va, June 1.-Colored
people of Washington and Alexandria
are still laughing over clever hoax
played upon the state militia by
attempt to lynch William Turner,
murderer of Thomas Moore, the re-
port began to be circulated that armed
bands of colored citizens from Wash
ington were about to march upon the
city of Alexandria in retaliation for
the attempted lynching. The joke
had such effect that the authorities
in Washington notified the police of
this city to be on guard against an
invasion by Washington Negroes.
State troops were modified and
stood an all night vigil in the city.
The town was turned into an armed
camp, militia patroled the streets,
and all the roads leading from Wash
ington were barricaded. No colored
people were allowed to appear in the
streets.
Morning came, and nothing had
happened. Several colored people
were seen wearing guilty smiles and
covert grins, and finally the secret
of the joke leaked out.
Police are today seeking the origin
ator of the hoax.

EXPRESSES CHILDREN

I Denver, June 1.-Two express
packages, each consisting of little
colored boy, and marked animal
recently passed through Denver en-
route from Topeka, Kan, to Ogden,
Utah. Orville Skaggs, 8 years old,
was package No. L., while his broth
er, Lester, 6 years old, was package
No. 2.
Their mother, who resides in To-
peka, decided to send them to their
father who is living in Ogden. She
decided to forward them by express
and, since the company accept ami
mails of all kinds for transportation,
the officials decided that the boys
could be accepted.
The company suspended one rule
governing the shipment of live ami
mails, however, which undoubtedly
added much to the boys comfort.
That rule requires the Grating of all
animals sent by express.
The boys, though, saw to it that
another rule, which provides that
animals must be fed at all junction
point and wherever else it may be
necessary, was not suspended,

LOSES JOB: STAYS
EMPLOYER! ESCAPES

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 1. -
Every available man at the command
of the chief of police and the county
sheriff is hunting John Studmeyer,
colored, alleged murderer of James
Mcdowell, Of the Chero-Cola Co.,
with orders to 'hoot to kill on sight.
Mcdowell, a sales clerk for the
Chero Cola Co., was almost instantly
killed last Monday by Studmeyer at
the plant on oath st. and South
Ave. f.
No one was in the room with the
two men when the tragedy occurred,
and no one knows the incidents lead
ing up to the shooting, it being un-
certain whether Studmeyer COM
mitted the act in self-defense or not.
1t is known, however, that Stud
meyer had been working for Nc
Dowell, and had been the recipient
of much abuse at the hands of the
white man. 1t is also known that
Studmeyer had been discharged from
the employ of the Chero Cola Co. by
Mcdowell and it is thought that Stud.
meyer may have committed the shoot
ing in a spirit of revenge.
At late hour the slayer had not
been apprehended.
