FINE DONATIONS
 FOR JEWISH AID
Expressions of GodSpeed in Work Accompany Many
 Contributions

Goodwill, graciousness and eXpres- sion of godspeed in tho work are noted in communications accompany ing handsome donations that are be- Ing received by the local committee of the American Jewish relief com mittee from Gentiles of the city. who are manifesting sincere interest and asking that they be allowed to assist. Jacob Burger. chairman of the gen eral committee here, announced last night that several communications and donations had come in from non Jews and he was struck in particular with the expression of W. V. M. Rob- ortson, general manager of the Ala bama Home Building and Loan asso- citation, who wrote:
 The cry of human distress is a universal language to me, The misery of all races and all creeds appeals as much to my heart IS my very own.
 Those of your race have been my friends and have encouraged me in all my business undertakings ever since my boyhood days, and it is with great pleasure that l enclose here with our check for s20o. Sincerely your friend,
 "w. V. M. ROBERTSON,
 General Manager"
 With good weather for the first time this week, the various commit tees worked hard on the drive yes terday. With but few exceptions. ev- cry citizen solicited had some dona- tion to make and practically all did so with a full heart and manifested interest in the work being under taken. One or two committees had members out of the city. but this did not hamper the efforts very much. With repetition of good weather and Friday no doubt is ex- pressed but that splendid results will be achieved.

HARRISON FLAYS
 MINISTER'S STAND
 ON DANCING ISSUE
Commissioner Says Preachers Not Against Dancing Any where Except at Per-
 shing Pier

Denouncing the opposition of some of the ministers of the city to the opening of Pershing Pier at East Lake park for dancing purposes as inconsistent because they have done nothing towards preventing mem bers of their congregations from dancing at private balls, William L.. Harrison, commissioner of parks and playgrounds, in statement yes terday declared that opening of the pier for dancing is simply a ques- tion of fairness, equity and right.
 Harrison declares that the attitude of the ministers of the city is not against public dancing in Brming- ham or at private halls, but simply against dancing at East Lake, be- cause they had it closed to dancing two years ago, after $1s,000 of he peoples money had been spent to build it.
 They are not trying to stop danc- ing or close public dance halls," he asserts, but it seems they think they can hoodwink the public by holler- ing Wolff when anybody has the courage to say anything about open ing Pershing Pier, their pet They say opening Pershing Pier is relig- fously repugnant to them. I ask them if it is religiously repugnant to them for dancing to go on all over Bir- mingham? And if 1t is what have they done to prohibit it? Nothing

COLLEGE WOMEN SURPRISED AT M'LENDON LETTER

The members of the Association of College Women were surprised at the meeting of the organization Tuesday night, when, after having placed themselves on record two weeks ago by the passage of resolutions in sup port of Commissioners Eehols and Harrison in reference to the opening of Pershing Pier. letter from Com missioner McLendon was read where in he thanked the association for taking stand against the reopen ing of the East Lake dance hall.
 "The resolutions were passed al most unanimously" said Mrs E. E.. Ellis, president of the association. and set forth beyond question that the association stood with Commis- sioners Echols and Harrison in their attitude towards the opening of Pershing Pier, for the purpose for which it was built. A copy of the resolutions was sent to the city com mission and must have come to the personal notice of MT. McLendon, as the letter would signify
 Mir McLendon evidently wrote the letter before he had read the reso- lutions" stated Mrs. John A. Miller, who was chairman of the committee appointed to draw up the resolutions. Following the reading of the letter, steps were taken by the association advising Mir. McLendon of his error, and setting him right upon the atti- tude of the organization.

CLOVER is GOLD;
CASH CROPS ARE BRASS

On new green land clover is gold
and cash crops are jingling brass.
New settlers are still making mistakes
in blowing green acres on new farms,
putting more dollars into an acre for
cultivated crops than they can take
off in the fall and killing their horses
by that method. One man we know
has spent two weeks time on getting
a few acres of new land ready for po-
tatoes when he could have brushed
off and had ready to level close to
twenty acres of the easiest part of his
forty The brushing and picking up
on one acre took three men just one
half day and there was only a couple
of stumps left This acre was plowed
in days time with three horses and
a good job was done as there were no
rocks. The other patch he was work
ing was the other extreme and took
the time. New land should he brushed,
logged, leveled and seeded if farmers
don't want to be hard up.

SETTLER NEEDS HELP
- TO IMPROVE FARM

Charles Heiny owns 40 acres, two
miles east of the Thornapple dam, and
has lived there for the past year. He
has ten acres brushed and seeded ii
down last August but the stand OF
clover is not as good as it should be.
A little more work on this land spring
toothing, discing, and leveling, would
have made it produce a good crop OF
hay this year.
Lack of capital to do this work as
it should be done is the biggest handi-
cap this country has and shows the
need of the County Reclamation Act,
Mr. Heiny has good house and a
small barn on his farm. He has built
a good fence on the south and east
sides of it. He keeps a COW and a
heifer but has no horse.

CLOVER FOR HOGS
MAKES CHEAP GAINS

There is no profit in hogs or pigs
that do not have access to plenty of
good pasture unless they are fed a
balanced ration and fed to the limit.
Thin hogs or pigs kept in a pen with
out grass are costing several times as
much to feed as they will bring. If
they sare not fed enough SO that they
gain steadily the money spent for feed
is lost entirely There are a lot of
good hogs on the clover pastures in
Rusk county and there are others kept
in pens which are the worst kind of
star boarders.

SOW LAND TO
FODDER CROPS

Land newly brushed, logged and
leveled should be sowed at, once and
worked in with springtooth or disc
and leveling harrow. Crops used
may be either Sudan grass, sand vetch,
Japanese millet, sorghum, or corn for
fodder.
Some of these crops will make feed
enough to be profitable if sowed as
late as August 1 if weather conditions
are favorable Sow as early as pos
sible and SOW grass seed at the same
time.

pleted from the bottom of the hill east
of the Fountain-C Campbell Lumber Go. s
mill to the Pepper corner. Some sur
facing will be done after the grading
is completed to the siX-mile corner.
This road has been in need of pa
trolman for several years and it would
give good man and team steady work
to patrol this stretch of eight miles to
the corners of the towns of Dewey,
Big Falls, Flambeau and Hubbard.
After this grading this road should
not be expected to take care of itself
as has been the case in the past.

SALT THE SHEEP

& Salt is very necessary for sheep.
Ewes with lambs should have salt
mixed about half with dirt before
them at all times. Pine tar should be
placed in the bottom of the trough
and the salt dirt mixture put over it.
The tar gets on their nose and pre-
vents grubs in the head to a certain
extent
A bunch of sheep keep one guessing
but the work is interesting and profit
able.

"The Turkish population in Smyr-

dead after being dragged through

"An American passenger who
reached Piraeus from Smyrna says
he saw 900 Armenians forced by the

Armenians were then shot down from
the shore, the bodies then left float

Fort Madison, Iowa, Sept. 15.-
A breakfast Of bacon and eggs, cat
meal, bread, butter and coffee
started the day for Eugene Weeks,
scheduled to hang at noon today for
the murder of George Fosdick, Des
Moines grocer. "One might as
we'll die with a full stomach as
with an empty one," Weeks re-
marked to the guard who brought
him the meal.
In an intrview late last night
with Winfred E. Robb the sheriff
chaplain, who is to spring to trap,
and Des Moines newspaper men,
Weeks declared that he is inno-
cent of the murder of Fosdick.
"You can hang me, I don't mind,
but you will find out some day that
YOU bumped off the wrong man"
he said.
AS late as last night, Sheriff
Robb received letters urging him
not to 90 through with the hang
ing of Weeks. He has received
hundreds of letters from church
members in all parts of the coun-
try impelling not to act as hang
man. !.
"Some OF. these letters were from
religious fanatics who tried to
scare me by saying / would burn
everlastinply in He'll" the sheriff
preacher said.
He has received a number Of let
ters threatening him with death If
he pulled the trap on Weeks.
It probably will be the first time
in the history of legal executions
that an ordained minister has
acted as the executioner.
Robb was chaplain of the One
