REGULAR Crops" OF EELS
Custom Common In Austria and
cxeehoslovakIa Might Well Be
Copied by This Country.

The market supply of fish in Aus
tria and Czechoslovakia is furnished
to a large extent from ponds in
which the fishes are bred. no arti-
fetal Matching being necessary. Such
ponds yield crops as regular and
satisfactory as equal areas OF the
best agricultural land.
In many ponds cells are grown.
Fishes of that kind breed in the
ocean, and SO it is necessary to buy
the young ones in quantity, plant
ing" them in the ponds and feeding
them with refuse until they are big
enough to be marketable.
The little eels used for planting
are mostly imported from France
and Italy. In our own country the
streams in early spring swarm with
little cells running up from the sea,
and, if we were to adopt the practice
Of planting them in ponds, allowing
them to grow, they would afford an
important and valuable contribu-
ton to our food supply.-Philadel-

Sometimes hobbies are Unborn, some
times they arrive by accident.
The story goes that Peter the
Greats hobby for boat building
came about by coming upon an old
boat turned upside down in u store
house on one Of his country estates.
The boat was too rotten for use but
with the aid of Carsten Brandt, who
had been brought from Holland. it
was put in working order. From
that day Peter the Great conceived
q passion for boat building. He
even went so far as to journey to
Holland, where he enrolled himself
among the ship carpenters, and
wrought as a common carpenter un-
der the name of Master Peter. He
was dressed and fed as his fellow
workmen, for he would allow no dis
tinctions. In time he became an au-
thority and wrote a number of .valu-
able books on the subject of ship
building.-"O'Dair," in the Mil

IN MEMORY OF ERNEST D. Carl.
THEIRS

Many miles away from home amid
the mountains of Colorado, where he
had gone in quest Of health that he
might carry out plans he had made
plans by which he could give the
necessities and comforts of life to
those so near and dear to him, the An
gel of Death came into st. Mary's
Hospital at Pueblo, Colo. on June 10,
1922 and took from US Ernest D..
Carithers and carried his soul back
to God who gave it.
Ernest was born near Water Valley
Nov. 5, 1895. He joined the Chris
tian Church at the tender age Of nine
years. He was married Oct. a, 1916,
to Miss Nancy Kelley Of Greenwood,
Miss. Two bright boys have blessed
this union. He had worked for the
Cudahy Packing Co. for the last year
of his life and made many warm
friends throughout the territory which
he travelled. He was Master Ma
SON and was buried with masonic
honors. His passing away means a
great loss to the Christian Church in
Greenwood. But we know our loss
is his gain. His life was one of SER
vice to his Lord, always alert to help
in the work of the Father. Not only
was he shining light in the church
but in his home also, where each night
he gathered his little family together
around the family altar that had been
established for many months, and ask
ed Gods help in bringing up his two
sons that they might be men of honor
and integrity, and Gods guidance in
all things he did. He was indeed a
beautiful life.
Dear is the spot where Christians
sleep,
And sweet the strains their spirit
pour;
o why should we in anguish weep?
They are not lost, but gone before" I"
Signed by one who loved him.

JOSEPH NEWBURCER
SUED FOR DIVORCE
Absorbed in Business, Wife
Charges.

Joseph Newburger, millionaire cot
ton man of Memphis was Saturday
sued by his wife, Mrs. Hetty C. New
burger. Absolute separation and ali
mony are asked. Mrs. Newburger
charges that her husband, to whom
she was married when she was 22 and
he 49, has become so engrossed in his
business that he has allowed its in
fluence to reflect itself in his home
and has become almost domineering.
In effect the basis for the divorce is
given as incompatibility.
The petition is devoid of any sem
sational charge and differs from hun
dreds of others filed in the courts in
the prominence and affiuence of the
persons concerned.
The bill was filed after Holmes G.
Canale, representing Mrs. Newburg-
er, and Wilson, Gates & Armstrong,
representing Mr.. Newburger, had
held several conferences in an effort
to reach an agreement as to the prop
erty rights, subject to ratification by
the court. While none of the coun-
Gil will discuss this phase of the case,
the amount that will be settled upon
Mrs. Newburger is understood to be
approximately $350,000. This
would indicate that there will be no
contest on the part of the defendant.
Mrs. Newburger states in her peti-
ton that she and Mr.. Newburger were
married in Memphis, March IL, 1907.
At that time she was %. He was 40.
They Lved together happily, the peti-
ton states for long time despite
the disparity in their ages. He be-
came more and more dominating, the
bill says, as he became more and
more interested in his vast business,
and that they had many stormy ses-
sions at home and that he gradually
became so that he did not want to
associate with her and her guests and
would play solitaire rather than as
sociate with them.
He would refuse to dine with her
guests and would play solitaire rather
than join them, says the petition,
which adds that he gave elaborate din
ners at his home to his friends and
asked his wife not to be present, and
that he recently took the financial ar
rangement Of the home out of her
hands and said that she could not
have any more money, and that affairs
reached such state few days ago
that she was forced to withdraw from
their palacial home on the East Park
way.
The petition construes these charg-
es into one of abandonment and turn
ing her out of doors and into cruel
and inhuman treatment to the point
of making it unsafe for her to remain
under his dominion and control.
She asks for alimony pending the
hearing of the petition and asks that
he be required to pay her solicitors
fees. No mention of any specific
amount of alimony is made.
The petition also states that they
have two children-Joy, aged six
years, and Mary, aged three and
half years. Mrs. Newburger express
ses her mother love for them and asks
that the court bear in mind their
tender years and the necessity for a
mothers care in determining their
futura

is really close on two centuries old.

THREE WOMEN
ADMIT GIVING
PISTOL TO BOND
Condemned Murderer Given
Weapon With Which To Kill
Jailer by Wife and Sisters.

4 JACKSON, Miss, July 22.-Mrs.
Henry Bond, wife; Mrs. Liza Lott and
Mrs. Hattie Sledge, sisters, and Henry
Bond were tonight charged with mur-
der and their preliminary trial will be
held early next week before Justice
Oscar Flowers. The three have cor-
fessed, according to the authorities,
with furnishing the pistol to Henry
Bond, condemned murderer, who was
to have been hung yesterday at
Leakesville, and with which he kill
ed his jailer, Russell Harris, in the
county Jail here. Harris, after be-
ing mortally wounded, shot Bond four
times, killing him instantly.
Mrs. Bond and Mrs. Lott were ar
rested the night of the killing and
placed in prison in this city in sepa-
rate cells. Yesterday, Mrs. Hattie
sSledge, another sister, was arrested
in George County and brought to
jackson. Tonight they told the
story of the alleged conspiracy.
The story as given out by the po-
lice follows:
"Mrs. Bond in company with Bonds
mother, was in Jackson on July 6,
awaiting the action of the pardon
board. Bond asked his wife to get a
pistol for him, promising not to use
it in the event his sentence was COM
muted to life imprisonment. He also
promised not to kill anyone, but in
the event all clemency was denied
him to use it in an attempt to bluff
his way out.
MRS. Bond went home and called
The two sisters into consultation, when
it was agreed that Mrs. Sledge was to
furnish the pistol" the police state
ment continues, "and Mrs. Lott volun-
teered to bring it to Jackson next day.
On Friday, July z, she arrived in
Jackson, and was allowed by the as
sistant jailer to visit her brother and
talk with him in the corridor She
carelessly laid small bag in the
window and forgot it,. In the bot
tom of that bag was the concealed
weapon. After passing out of the
Jail she suddenly remembered her
bag and asked the assistant jailer to
get it and return it to her which he
did. She had previously given Bond
a sign and the weapon had been ex-
tracted. Bond kept it concealed
from July until July Is, when he
killed Harris in an attempt to get
away"
The penalty under Mississippi law
is the same as that for murder and
may mean the death penalty.

the fire, killed Bond, and then after
unlocking and relocking three sets of
Jail doors, walked 100 yards to the
sheriff's Office in the court house, re-
lated the tragedy and expired on
table used for tax receipt books.
Thus battle at still in the heart
of swamp near Richton, on April 1,
last year, has cost the lives of five
men, sent two to the state peniten-
tiary and brought charges against

prohibition agent, and J. F. Dunam,
marshal of Richton, died with their
boots on and their faces toward a
wilderness moonshine still. The Of
ficers were shot down in a battle in
