the society. He directed that the case
be transferred to Judge Evans, saying
his name was being used improperly in
selling the certificates.
"The whole thing is unclean, wher-

Lands.
"The use of my name in the sale Of
these certificates has brought me hun

individuals guilty Of this outrage, if
not fraud, are not all acting on their

First Report Under Mini

Proves Satisfactory.
WAGES SHOWN HIGH

A tabuiation of reports received by
the industrial commission under the
provisions of the minimum wage law
from SIC Employers of women and min
ors show that of 32,6S9 women and
minor employees only $40 received less
than 22c per hour last May and 1850
less than 25c per hour,
OF the employees paid less than Csc
per hour the largest number were the
employees in factories in towns with
a population of 5000 and over, only
1890 earned less than 25c an hour,
while in factories in smaller towns
1850 of the women and minor en-
ployees were in this group. In stores
$3.50 of women and minor employees
received less than 25c an hour in the
larger cities.
No less than 1920 of all employees
paid less than 25c an hour were minors
and nearly half of these were under
seventeen years of age. Only 11@o Of
the adult women employees earned less
than 25c an hour, while 67@o earned
30c and over per hour. On the other
hand 1870 of all permit children were
paid less than 25c an hour.
The SIG firms from whom reports
reports were received by the industrial
commission employed SO, 065 men as
compared with 15,076 adult women and

women employees was greater in the
textile industries, where men con IT,
tuted only 1920 Of the total numbcr Of

the number of men employed in mil
linery and straw goods manufacture, in

Of the minors reported upon 4,428

FORLEAVING BEAT
Two Members of the PO-
lice Department Are
Diciplined.
MUST OBEY THE RULES

Chief of Police Logan is carrying
out his promise to have discipline in
the police department and he appeared
before the police and fire commission
on Friday evening as the complaining
witness against police officers Hama
way and Westbrook The two officers
were charged with minor infraction
of the regulations of the department
and after the commission has heard
the evidence and the story of the two
officers they were ordered to forefeit
fifteen days pay each. 1t was not
serious complaint" said President Rob
inson of the commission this morning
"but just part of the general move
ment to make the police force better
and to bring about an absolute obeying
of the regulations of the department.
1t was charged that these men had
been off their beats when the regula-
tions provided that they should be
travelling the beats. No other offense
was alleged>against them and the com
mission on finding them guilty of
the charges fined them fifteen days
pay"
Must Keep to Regulations.
1t was given out authoratively that
every police officer who violated the
regulations of the department will be
expected to appear before the commits
sion and show cause why they should
not be punished. "Chief Logan ex-
poets to have an efficient police force"
said one Of the commissioners "and
this means that every man is expected
to live up to the regulations of the de-
partment to the very letter. If they
fail to do this the commission ex-
poets the chief to lay the matter be-
fore it that proper and rapid discip-
linary measures may be taken. 1t
may be argued that it has been Gus
tomary to leave a-beat if an officer
happened to have something else to do
but the regulations provide that po-
lice work for the city during the hours
he is employed and this is the demand
of the chief and the commission"
1t was said that no other business
of Importance came before the commits
sioners.

Scientific Hog
Feeding Better
Peanuts Make Cheapest and Best Feed
for Hogs but Butchers OBJ
ject TO 1t.

Ordinarily the feeder of cattle or
hogs does not concern himself great
ly as to the effect the feeds given
will have on the melting points of
the fat produced in these animals.
Yet with certain kinds of foods this
becomes highly important.
1t has been found in the south for
instance, that peanuts make the cheap
est and most effective feed for hogs.
But the butcher objects to peanut-fed
hogs because the fats are so soft that
when the carcass is hung up in the
ordinary cooler it does not harden
nicely, but drips and causes loss of
lard as we'll as leaving greasy APP
pearance and feel.
The solution of this ldilemma has
been worked out by group of scien-
fists connected with the southern agri-
cultural experiment stations.
In one experiment herd of twenty
pigs that had been fed on pasture and
a light grain ration were separated in
to two lots of ten each and subjected
to special treatment. Lot No. ! was
fed for A days on peanuts only, while
Lot II was fed corn and shorts and
some cottonseed meal.
At the endi of the Al days it was
found that the pigs in Lot l had SUI
ferred a lowering of the melting point
of their fat amounting to from 5 to
10 degrees Fahrenheit. That is, their
fat had softened greatly.
On the other hand, the pigs in Lot
II showed married increase in the
melting point Of their fat This
amounted to to 5 degrees in most
cases.
The feeds were then reversed for
another period Of Az days. AS was
expected, Lot I (which had formerly
received peanuts showed big results.
The melting points of the fats being
raised as much as Is degrees in two
cases.
Following these experiments practice
