SAY AUTO WAITED
OUTSIDE OF JAIL

Detectives announced today that they
had learned that an automobile was
waiting outside the jail for at least one
Of the twenty four prisoners who escaped
early Monday morning from the Jail.
They would not reveal the source Of
their information, but said they had
learned that large automobile IN which
three men were sitting, was waiting out
side the Jail and that Arthur yelling,
alleged professional safe cracker,
stepped into the car as he left the Jail.
The car is said TO have gone west on
Pearl street TO Delaware street, thence
north
All except one Of the keys stolen by
the prisoners were found today by Sheriff
Robert Miller
The keys We're taken by the prisoners
from Ernest Dreier, 1884 Cottage avenue,
night jailer, after they had beaten, tied
and gagged Dreier.
The keys were found in the drawer Of
the sherifrs desk among some papers.
Why the escaping prisoners had
chosen that method Of disposing of the
keys is not known and no reason has
been found for the thieves taking the
outside door key with them and leaving
the other keys.
Now that the first excitement follow
ing the big jail delivery has subsidized
Sheriff Miller has started Systematically
to determine If possible every detail of
the plot that led up to It.
Eight Of the twenty-four prisoners
were captured the first day and they are
safely back in the Federal row
The hole, ten inches square. in the
lower part Of the northeast cellroom has
been patched.
PLANS OF ESCAPE
NOT PFRFECTFD
1t developed in Sheriff Miller's inves-
tigation that the prisoners had not per-
fected their plans Of escape further than
to reach the outside corridor surround
ing the inner cage or row Of cells in the
Federal row, overpower the night jailer,
steal his keys and make for the outside.
After reaching the first floor the pris-
Oners did not at once go to the Office of
the jail. as they thought there was an
other guard there.
The escaping prisoners went to the
basement of the jail, planning to escape
through the tunnel.
This tunnel leads under the power
house, west of the Jail, and north under
the alley TO the courthouse, and was
bailt TO ensure the safe transporting of
prisoners to and from criminal court
1 Had the prisoners been able to unlock
he Ioor OF the tunnel they could have
dUf1Y escaped either into the power
Suse. which has not been used in years.

Boys Draw Fine and
Year at State Farm

Robert wadsworth, 81. and Floyd En-
sey, II, Castleton. Ind, today were
found guilty OF petit larceny, fined 81
and costs and sentenced to serve one year
at the Indiana State farm.
Judge James A. Collins In criminal
court heard the evidence.
The pair were indicted on charges OF
burglary and petit larceny.
They were found guilty OF breaking
into the store Of George Herr. at Castle

or TO the courthouse. where it would have
been easy to reach the outside.
The prisoners while in the basement
were seen by a merchant policeman be
fore I O'Clock Monday morning, II was
learned today, but the policeman said he
thought the men were working and did
ont dream they were trying to escape
from jail.
Failing to make good their escape by
way Of the tunnel. the twenty-four pris-
oners went to the office Of the Jail, un
locked the door and were surprised to
find that there was no guard IN the
office and that Dreier was the only night
tailer in the building
They then unlocked the outside door
Of the jail Office. which leads to the
little side porch and jail yard.
Throwing all the keys except the one
used in unlocking the side door into
a drawer of the sherlff's ID k, they made
their escape.
Henry Tunnicliff was the leader OF
the escaping prisoners, according TO Fred
Heller. hotel keeper, serving a sentence
for violating the prohibition laws, ana
who is a cell boss in federal row.
Heller said the men closed the door Of
the northeast cell and worked in day
time at saving the bars
Heller declared that Tunnicliff asked
Meisberger If he (Heier) had entered the
cell Sunday and when told that Heller
had not, said, IF he had 1 would have
killed him"
TOOK FOUR WEEKS
TO SAW THROUGH BARS.
1t required about four weeks to saw
the bars, according to prisoners who did
not escape, but IT was not until the last
three days that much progress was made
and that was when the prisoners were
able to get the bars heated to the proper
temperature.
Dreier, the injured iailer, is at the
home of his sister, 1906 Woodlawn ave
nue..
DR.. w. E. MendenhaIl, who is caring
Cor Dreier gave orders that none but
relatives be permitted to see him.
The physician, however, said that
Dreier's injuries would not prove seri-
Gus.
DR.. MendenhaTl said Dreier's most
serious injury was to his throat, he hav-
ing been choked by the escaping pris-
oners
After the police net had been spread
over the city for thirty-six hours and
the police of every city in the country
notified of the breaking out of jail of
twenty -four prisoners, there were just
eight men recaptured.
Most important of these was George
Shaw, alias Fletcher b. Rodgers, known
as the north side burglar"
OF the sixteen prisoners who were still
at large early today eight are charged
with federal offenses.
The men wanted by the federal au-
thorities are Henry Tunnicliff, said to

MOISTURE CONTROL
DRY LAND FARMING

The control of the yield of crops
on our stubble fields is without a
doubt the most serious problem in
production now facing the Roosevelt
county grain grower. The fact that
the soil moisture has not been con-
trolled to a reasonable extent the
past few years is the cause of so
many foreclosures and the reason the
county does not enjoy the portion of
prosperity that it is entitled to. For
these reasons the stubble field, the
portion of our farms to which this
article is devoted would receive a far
greater consideration than it has
ever been given before.
The causes of low yields on stub
BILE fields are few in number, the most
important ones are:
L. The low moisture content of
the soil.
2. Presence of grasses, shrubs
and weeds.
8. A poor seed bed.
a.. insufficient soluble" plant
food.
s. The stubble itself.
g.. Unavailable subsoil moisture.
The first is the most general but

NEARLY "A Mile OF
new LOCOMOTIVES

st. Paul, October 10Th. There is to
be no lack of motive power anywhere
on the Great Northern railway. The
first two of As Mikado type of loco
motives ordered from the Baldwin
locomotive works arrived under their
own power today and went right in
to service. The rest will make their
appearance on the line before long.
These new gigantic locomotives are
SO feet in length. If they were
strung together they would make a
train of locomotives more than two
thirds of a mile long. The total cost
of this new equipment is S3,150,000.
Each of these locomotives weighs
more than half a million pounds,
$4,000 pounds to be exact. Their
Their tenders are of the Vanderbilt
type-with cylindrical water tanks,
and they are the first of this kind
to appear west of the Rocky Noun
tains in the Northwest. Each loco
motive has a water capacity of TO-
900 gallons; enough water to furnish
a days supply for a fair sized town.
Besides, the tender of each of these
locomotives carries Is tons of coal.
The locomotives are equipped with
all the latest devices such as stokers,
CRATE shakers, super heaters, etc. AS
fast as they are delivered they will
be distributed over the line of the
Great Northern for freight service.

any one or all of the others may be
| contributing factors. Some OF them,
unfortunately be controlled absolute
ly but all can be materially infiuenc-
ed by man and most are entirely
| with his control. Each is affected by
certain specific tillage operations
hence, no fixed procedure can, with
profit, be followed on all fields. The
actual causes of low yield on a given
field must be determined and then
the cultural treatment that is likely
to control those particular causes
must be given if the largest net adj
vantage is to be derived.
Control of Soil Moisture
The low moisture content of the
soil is the principal cause of low
yields on stubble land. "A dry sea-

the generally given as causes of fall
ure. In Valley county the control of
soil moisture is the most serious
question to be faced in handling old
fields.
SO far as this portion of the gener-
al problem of managing old fields is
concerned only two things can be
done ~ endeavor to keep the mois-
ture already in the soil from escaping
ooI 10Y wv 70 npt moro IN
The moisture in stubble land es-
capes in only two ways-by evapora-
ton directly into the air and by be-
ing pumped out by weeds or other

dormant during u dry falls and
long winters, with the result that tie
amount of available plant food in old
fields is relatively small under u
climate conditions the quality is in
creased, and with it the yield of crops
by any form of tillage that does not
waste soil moisture. The more avail
able plant food there is in a soil the
less moisture is required to produce
a bushel of wheat. In the old
fields the amount of moisture is very
low at best and we cannot increase
the supply materially. But we can
make better use of what we have by
giving it opportunity to carry into
the plant a more dense solution, a
larger load, a richer s'soil soup"
Straw
The straw of a cereal crop is made
up of elements derived by the plant
from soil and air. If stubble or straw
is burned the most valuable fertiliz-
ing element secured from the soil,
viz, nitrogen, passes off into the air.
The burning of straw dissipates or
ganic matter, the constituent that
helps to keep the soil from blowing,
the one that increases the water
holding capacity of the soil and at
the same time makes it easier to
work. The amount of this constitu-
ent is decayed form in a soil is the
greatest single index to its fertility.
Subsoil Moisture Must Be Kept
Moisture and plant food are both
necessary for crop growth. The for
mer is often found in relative guam
titles in subsoil, from which area it
may rise to the plant roots by CAPT
larity. But frequently in u tiIlage
operations we create a condition
where the subsoil moisture does not
rise fast enough to meet the needs of
the crop above in which case lower
yields result. Such a condition is
produced when the furrow slice of
ploughed land is not pressed firmly
against the subsoil. Moisture will
not rise satisfactorily through a lay
er of lumpy loose soil, or worse still,
through air spaces or Russian thistles
and weeds. The chief reason why
fall ploughing results in poor yields
is the cutting off of the subsoil mois-
ture. By spring time all weeds have
blown away and the furrow slice
can be pressed firmly against the
subsoil.
The place to use the disc is before
ploughing, it mixes the stubble with
the soil and pulverizes the soil so that
the furrow slice can be packed firmly
the subsoil. With limited
rainfall it is not advisable to pillow
under too much trash as weeds and
stubble. 1t seriously in%terferes with
the upward movement of moisture
the subsoil; thus ~lessening the
yield. Clean the land of large Rus
sian thistles before ploughing.
The above article was prepared
and written by Murray E. Stebbins,
for three years County Agent of Val
ley County. He has made a close
study of conditions and it is the opin-
on of County Agent Noble that it is
applicable in this county.

Grip

Grip usually starts just the same
as a cold with a watery discharge
from the nose. You are much more
likely to contract the grip when you
have a cold. For that reason when
grip is prevalent you should go to
bed as 500 as you feel that you are
taking cold and stay in bed until
fully recovered which should not be
long if you take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Three days in bed
now is better than three weeks later

HON. THOs. C. MRAE. GOVERNOR

Hon. Thomas C. McRae's success in the Democratic State primary was a tribute to his dignified campaign as a candidate for Governor as well as an endorsement of his long service in Con gress. his grand manhood and his life long loyalty to Arkansas.
 When he is inaugurated as Governor. the people will quickly feel the power of his thorough business administra- tion and open-doOr policy in consider ing the vital interests of the taxpayers. MT. McKae will not give the people any occasion to ipglct their choice for Gov ernor. to which distinguished office his nomina tion was assured as the voters listened to his presentation of his idea of how the gubernatOrial respOnsibili- ties should be met and executed.
 Not solitary professional politician supported him in his campaign, while his vigorous assault upon .'bOssism" and the hungry hsrde that is always to Ike found lined up at the political naturally drove that un- desirable element from him.
