Parker Held By
Police, Called
Dangerous Man
From Chicago Whip, Sept. u.

While holding his nightly meetings
on State Street between 3+th and 35th,
Editor r. T. Parker, of the Chicago
Advocate, ran into the law J. S. Arts
claims that he was listening to Par
ker's lecture when he was given a
tongue lacing by the labor leader.
Arts objected and was set upon by
some OF Parker's followers who at
tempted to matreat Mr.. Arts. When
the police arrived six were bundled
into the patrol wagon, including Par
ker. Arts claimed that Parker passed
the hat among the crowd and told
them that they needed guns and am
munition and to give him the money
and he could get the hardware.
Judge Says Parker Is Dangerous
Judge Newcomer stated that Par
kcr's remarks were dangerous TO any
and would incitc riot.
Parker asked for jury trial which was
granted after his bond was fixed at
$4,000. Bentley Elsbach. one OF Par
ker's followers could not arrange bond
and neither did Parker arrange it for
him. He's in the Jail house now.
Editor Parker states that Arts is a
henchman OF low politicians and that
his remarks were addressed against
the Ku klux klan and that the
charges are trumped up. He is out on
bond pending trial.

TOWN HAS PUREBREDS ONLY
Ohio Township Is 100 Per Cent or
Right Side-No Grade or Scrub
Slres to Be Found.

The township Of Jackson, in Hardin
county, Ohio, is entirely free from
grade and scrub sires. In notifying
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture of this fact, Prof. John W.
Wuichet of the Ohio agricultural ex-
tension service, adds, This is the first
township which has come to our atten-
ton that we feel satisfied is 100 per
cent on the right side. No sire was
considered purebred unless it could be
proved that it's sire and dam were
registered"
The survey Of sireS included the
principal classes of live stock, except
poultry, and was made for advance
credit by q student in the college OF
agriculture. The survey showed that
the township included 165 farms, on
which were 81 purebred boars, 20
purebred rams, purebred beef bulls,
3 purebred dairy bulls, and purebred
stations. No grade or scrub sireS OF
any kind were found In the township.

Vigorous Measures Against At
tack of ChinCh Bugs Are
Urged by Federal Bureau.
MISSOURI REPORTS OUTBREAK
Severe lnfestations in Central Missjs-
sippi Valley Region From Texas
Northeasterly to Illinois
and Michigan.

fPrepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.)
Energetic measures against the
chinch bugs which threaten injury not
only to the wheat and rye crops Of
Missouri but TO corn as well are
urged by the bureau of entomology,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, In view of reports of an impend-
ing outbreak of the pest in that state.
Widespread and severe infestations
Of the pest are reported in the whole
central Mississippi valley region,
starting in northern Texas and eX-
tending in a nOrtheasterly direction
over Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri,
touching Nebraska and extending
across Illinois and Indiana into Mich
igan.
Generally Distributed Through State.
The chinch bugs, latest advicesssay,
have had a mild winter and are gen
orally distributed throughout the
Missouri wheat and rye fields, breed
Ing in considerable numbers in the
St Louis nelghborhOod early in May.
The farmers, it is said have been
watching the pest more closely than
usual this spring, but all of them do
not know yet that there is danger that
their corn may be damaged worse
than normal last year. Wheat is
likely to ripen one or two weeks
earlier this year, and the rains have
delayed the planting of corn.
The bugs are certain to migrate
when the wheat ripens and the corn
will be so backward that damage by
the bugs is likely 10 be very severe.
It Is well to expect the bugs TO begin
migrating to corn as soon as the wheat
butts begin TO harden into maturity
ten days before the heads are ripe
Any barrier work or creOsote repellant
line work should begin as the bugs
will migrate in increasing numbers as
the wheat stalk ripens upward. The
binder will shake loose those not al
ready out and stragglers will continue
TO migrate in serious numbers for five

DIAMOND WORN BY CARLOTTA
History, Is Now on Exhibition
at New York

A great greenish-white diamond,
known as the MACMILLAN stone" is
on exhibition for the first time in this
country ut New York. Like all large
gems, this stone has history which
is not happy. 1t was found in Brazil
about 1850 and in its rough state
weighed nearly 80 carats. Ferdinand
Joseph MAMMALIAN, then archduke of
Austria, travelled extensively in South
America. While he was in Brazil he
bought the diamond, it is said, for a
price apprOXimating $4,000.
The jewel today is in the same con-
dition as it was when worn by the En-
press Marie Charlotte in Maximillian' S
short reign in Mexico.
When Macmillan was executed a
commission was designated TO sell the
diamond along with other gems that
had been part of the gorgeous court.
The stone was bought by an American.
AS part of his estate the diamond is
again to be sold.
