ChicagO.-John Shebec, who is 81
years old, discovered the elixir Of
youth the other day. Before taking
he was stopped, lame, decrepit, hope
lessly senile. After one dose he was
able to hop a speeding street car.

Mr.. Shebec vas first observed by
Detective Sergeants Bierndt and
Janaczak at Western avenue and Madi-
son street. He was limping.
"Give me a quarter for carfare,
please" he asked them. Bierndt
started to explain that transportation
In this City Of the Horn may be pur-
chased, theoretically, at a nickel a ride
and, II one is travelling In the sub
urbs outside the precincts Of the city
hall, at g cents. He meant to follow
up this Information with u remark that
the old mans two-bit demand was a
bit exorbitant. He was interrupted,
howevef, BY a citizen who burst from
the corner saloon.

"You old rascal, 1 just gave you
carfare," shouted tho man.
Aha" Quoth Bierndt, "come with
me-" a
He exhibited his star. One casual
glance at the glittering elixir worked

The next instant Shebec was ten

he was scarcely discernible for dust.
"Holy. hastel" exclaimed Blerndt.

What he needs is a pair Of brakes"
The detectives jumped into their

Shebec. About a block ahead was a
street car, travelling at the rate Of
umerou miles per. hour. 1t saw
the ancient chasing it and tried to get
away. Co., -.
"Too burned Slow"
No. use! With an easy leap Shebec
had achieved the step. Then he
looked behind him and saw that the

the conductor-and of he jumped. The
particular section Of the metropolis
into which the ancient leaped was a
bit populated. The abundant citizenry
impeded his progress and made
straight running impossible. In the
zigzagginz which ensued the flivver
had time to catch up and Shebec was
apprehended. In his pockets were
found twenty 81 bills and about s. in
coins.

ing an organization with the sole
purpose Of giving the consuming public a
maximum Of service at a minimum OF cost.
To do this, four large refneries have been

Fleets Of tank wagons and motor trucks
are always in service ready To deliver Red
Crown Gasoline, Perfection Kerosene ard

In organizing this vast net.wc-,,s Of service, those
responsible for the management OF the Company
have had two major objects iii view; first, TO re-
duce the cost Ct man ,.ds. turns mar. naaTEe e gar and
to make prices which would be TAR 70 tie con

DISMISS CASES
 OF WHITE SOX
States Attorney Will Seek New Indictments of Ball Players Charges That Case Has Been Handled Improperly.

Chicago, March IT, Immediate prosecution of Chicago White Sox baseball players and others indicted in connection with the alleged throw ing of the 1919 world series collapsed today when the state, charging cor ruption of it's chief witnesses, dropped the cases against seven of the players and Judge William Dever took the others eff the court call.
 Tonight, however, the state started preparing new case, with the an- nouncement that the matter would be placed in the hands of a grand jury again tomorrow and reindictment of the players whose cases were dropped sought.
 Robert E. Grove, states attorney, took charge of the ease today and announced that he would handle it from now on. He ordered the cases dismissed after his plea for six months in which to gather new evil dence had been denied by Judge De- yer, and May 2 set as date for trial.
 Tonight, in a formal statement, Grove placed the blame for the col lapse of the case on his predecessors in office, charging they had handled it improperly and on an alleged con- spiracy which he said had defeated justice and corrupted Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte and Claude Williams, the men who confessed to the grand jury, and announced that he planned to go personally before the grand jury tomorrow and seek new indict- ments. He planned himself to "use every means to bring the guilty per- sons in this case to justice" declar- ing that many guilty persons had not been indicted and that important wit nesses were excused from answering questions which would have brought the real conspirators to justice.
 Mir Crowe's action today released Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Claude Williams, Buck Weaver, Oscar Felch, Swede Risberg and Fred McMullin from custody of the law, their cases being dismissed.

M. N. & A. STOPS
 TRAIN SERVICE
Bridges Burned, Pumps Dam aged and Engines Derailed- United States is Urged to Take a Hand.

Little Rock, March 17.-Traffic on the Missouri & North Arkansas Rail- road was discontinued today, accord ing to a message from c. A. Phelan, general manager and receiver, to United States District Judge Jacob Trieber, which said that action was taken because of interference and lawlessness." Union employees of the road have been on strike since last month.
 In response to the message, which told of the burning of two bridges last night, Judge Trieber instructed four United States deputy marshals to go to Harrison, and stated that if necessary to protect the railroad pro- perty others would be appointed. The officers carried warrants for the arrest of striking employees of the road, who are charged with having assaulted men employed since the strike of union men. The road is un- der jurisdiction of the federal court due to its having gone into hands of a receiver.
 Other advices from Harrison told of the burning of two bridges in addi- tion to those mentioned by Mr. Phe- Ian, but no specific charges have been made against anyone in this connec- ton.
 Gov. McRae today received an ap- peal from Judge J. H. Shinn of Har- rison asking that 50 national guards men be placed on duty to protect bridges and other railroad property The governor said he did not want to interfere in the matter because of the federal courts jurisdiction over the road, except to instruct civil officers to uphold the law in their communi ties. At his suggestion, however State Labor Commissioner T. A. Will son will confer with Judge Triebe1 tomorrow, with a view to learning the attitude of the latter toward action by state authorities if need of troops is confirmed.
 Gov. McRae yesterday received g request from Mayor Trimble of liar rison asking him to use his influence in an effort to settle the trouble growing out of a cut in wages anc the strike which resulted, but said he had no jurisdiction.

CHECKING UP ON
 OIL LEGISLATION

Little Rock, March 18.-Those in- terested in the development of the oil industry have been checking up the legislation enacted by the recent General Assembly. The bill by Sen atorHaley providing for the inspec- ton of producing gas wells was ap- proved February IS and is now Act No. IA. s. B. No. 259 by Wilson of Union is in the list of uncertain ties. The records of the Senate show that it was defeated, but those who are interested in it's passage contend that it was passed and is law. The bill was passed by the' Senate March and sent to the House where num- erous amendments were adopted and the bill passed as amended March '. On the same day it was transmitted to the Senate where the House amendments were read and con- cured in and the bill ordered en- crossed. On March 8 the committee returned the bill as engrossed and the roll was called and the bill failed to pass by a vote of IA to 13. It is contended, however, that the last roll call was unnecessary and that when the Senate concurred in the House amendments the passage of the bill was complete. It is upon this theory that the validity of the statute isgto be tested in the courts.

KILLED BY
 FALLING TREE
VI H. German, BughtOn's Old est Citizen, Meets Death-W. L. Britt Barely Escapes While Trying to Rescue Him.

While watching men cut dwon a loroe tree close to a church building in Boughton this morning, w. H.. German, age eighty-two, and Rough. tons oldest citizen, was struck across the body by the falling tree. It is said that Mr. German was feeble and hearing was impaired, so that it is probable this in part contributed to his failure to escape.

 Drs. Hesterly and Mcdaniel were summoned, but the injury was fatal, Mr. German living only two hours after the tree fell on him.

THE FERTILIZATION
OF BERRY PLANTS
(By Gordon G. Brown

For number of years the writer has
been experimenting with various fer
tiliZers for Strawberries. Results have
always favored the use of considerable
nitrogen for whatever formula used.
Larger yields and sizes as a rule result
even on new soil. The writer has
deemed it wise to use a complete"
fertilizer in recommending a fertilizer
F.! for the valley as a whole. This would
include phosphoric acid and potash in
the fertilizer as we'll as nitrogen. This
last year the Apple Growers Associa-
tion has been buying the "simples :"
that is, nitrate of Soda super phos-
phate and sulphate of potash and mix
ing them in whatever proportion the
grower desired. In most cases this has
been mixed upon tonnage basis as
follows:
Nitrate of soda, 300 pounds, super
phosphate, 800 pounds, sulphate of pot
ash, 400 pounds.
1t is recommended that this be ap-
piled at the rate of $50 pounds per acre
right after the topping season and |
thoroughly hoed in. In early spring |
$50 pounds more of the same fertilizer
should be applied.
On Willow Flat and in the newer
sections such as Dee, Parkdale and |
Middle Valley there is a possibility |
that less potash may be used to better
advantage. These soils apparently are
pretty we'll supplied with ash deposit
from which potash is derived. An ex-
cess of potash may give seedy berries
of smaller size than where it is used
The section of berries on
Willow Flat giving largest yield this
year had nitrate of soda at the rate of
22O pounds per acre; super phosphate,
300 pounds per acre, and sulphate of
potash 72 pounds per acre This is a
total application of 592 pounds per
acre. one-half of which was applied
Turing the summer of 1920 and the bal
ance in early spring. 1921. On a ton
lage basis this is made up as follows:
725 pounds, nitrate of soda; 800
pounds super phosphate; 285 pounds
3ulphate of potash.

INSPIRED BY HOOD

j. c. johnson was recently spending
vacation in the Lost Lake country.
On a walk through the section he hap
pened on man intent in writing as he
gazed at the glory of Mount Hood in
the early morning sunlight. The Wis
itor, who proved to be Edwin Bundy.
of The Dalles, was writing a poem.
He promised to send Mr.. johnson the
results of his inspiration. The poem.
entitled mount Hood" appears be-
low:
We've seen the high hills in the east
and west,
We've seen them in sunshine and shade,
Arrayed in bright eolors as seen at
their best
From hilltop or from the deep glade.
| We've seen them bedecked in
beauty rare.
We've seen them in various mood,
But with all their grandeur they
don't compare
With the graceful form of Mt. Hood
We've looked on its slopes of peril
GUS grade.
In mute admiration we've stood;
The lapse of the years and ages have
made
No change in the form of Mt. Hood.
We've seen the rich hues of crimson
and gold
In light of the suns afterglow.
Rejecting splendor that not been
told,
On its crown of eternal snow.
1t still stands intact, ten thousand
years old,
With its grace no monuments vie;
1t stands there alone, sentinel bold,
As it lifts its proud head on high.
We've seen the skill of omnipotent |
hand
Creating all things for our good,
But in Natures realm there nothing
more grand
Than the snow capped cone of Mt.
Hood.
