ROBBERS ESCAPE IN
 NEWARK AFTER CHASE
Three Cigar Company Workers Over. taken and Robbed of S5.O0O

Newark, N. J., June 21.-Three employees of the I. Lewis Cigar com pany, returning in an automobile
 from a bank with a s5,0o0 payroll, raced for half a mile yesterday after noon to escape five bandits pursuing them in another car, but were over taken half a block from the factory and held up and robbed of a satchel containing the money. The robbers scaped.
 | After leaving the National Newark and Essex Banking company at Broad street and Clinton avenue, the money car with Harold Lewis, treasurer of the company, Ross l.. Dinn, clerk. who carried the satchel, and Donald Lewis the driver, turned into Bank street about a half-mile from the fac tory.
 Dinn, who sat in the rear seat, then noticed they were being followed by another car containing five men, and growing suspicious the driver put on speed. As the money car forged ahead, the bandit car also increased it's speed and the race to the factory started. Gradually, the bandits over hauled the fleeing car and caught up with it a half block from the office.
 Dinn jumped from the machine with the satchel and started to run, but two of the robbers halted him with revolvers while two others stood guard over the Lewis brothers. Dim dropped the satche which was snatched up by one of the men GOV ering him, then the four robbers dashed for their automobile in which a confederate was waiting at the wheel. The bandit car was said tc have been a New York license.

Automobile a Modern Farm
Convenience.

"Fewer automobiles and more
work." is the remedy often suggested
for the farmers troubles by some per-
son whenever a group Of men assem-
BILE and enter into the discussion OF
economic questions. Just why a far
mer is not entitled to an automobile
the same as a mar in the city, If ne
wants one and can afford it, is never
explained. If the facts were known,
probably a greater percentage OF au-
tomobiles on the farm are fully paid
for than in the city, but casting that
feature to n side, just ask yourself
the question: Who needs an automo-
bile most, the farmer or the man in
the city?
The man in the city can ride to his
Office or work for the small sum of a
nickle or 6 cents, as the case may be.
Neighborhood stores r convenient,
and if not, he can secure delivery OF
telephone orders almost any time OF
day. He has little need for a car, or
at least could do very well without
one. But the farmer, living several
miles from town, finds an automobile
an economy. He has n other means
kof transportation for himself and
family except the horse, which is not
always available in busy seasons, and
a time killer under any circum-
stance. He needs a car. If any man is
justified in making a sacrifice to get
one, it is the man in the country. Be-
sides the farmer pays his share to-
wards good roads and is entitled to
use them. They were constructed, II
we are to believe the good roads pro-
moters, more for the use of the far
mer than forl the joy riders in the
city. Let every farmer who a afford
it, get an automobile. 1t will save him
hours of time, bring his neighbors
closer to him, permit him to give his
family more pleasures and increase
the attractiveness of life in the
country. The man who would deny
the farmer an automobile is living in
the past. He needs to modernize his
ideas.-Farm and Ranch.

GOVERNORS SEND MESSAGES
TO THE WORLD.

In preparation for an aroundsthe-
world tour in which he was to rebree
sent the Federal Council Of Churches
in the interest Of international peace
and Christian evangelization, Fred b.
Smith, the noted evangelist, wrote
letters to the governors of all the
states. He asked them two questions
first, whether the people of their
respective commonwealth believed in
disarmament and world peace, and
second, whether they themselves re-
garded prohibition as a permanent
American policy. All Of the forty-six
governors who replied gave ar affirm
alive answer to the first question, and
all but one an affirmative answer to
the second answer. The sole excep-
ton on the latter point was Governor
Edwards of New Jersey.
The reply of the governor of
Maine, given herewith, indicates the
tenor of the letters received in ans
wer to the request:
GAS you travel about upon your
tour of the world I shall be glad to
have you take this message from the
governor of Maine to your audiences
wherever you are" wrote Hon. Per
cival P. Baxter, chief executive of
the Pine Tree State. 81 have always
been a believer in state and national
plohibition," continued the governor,
"and desire to be. placed definitely
upon the side of strict, honest and i'm
partial enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
"The state of Maine for sixty years
has stood Loyalty for prohibition. 1t
has endured the abuse and been
tempted by the gold of the liquor in
terests of the nation: The state, how
ever, has remained mistaken in its
faith, and today stands before the
action of it's sister states in adopting
national prohibition. Those within
the state who in the past sought to
betray it, are now discredited and are
heard from no more.
"The men of Maine remain true. to
this great cause and the women give
to it their overwhelming approval. /
believe the day is close at hand when
our whole nation will be as firm in
the faith as is Maine, the pioneer pro-
hibition state"

Feeding the Baby Chicks.

Clemson college, April o. reeu-
ing the young stock is perhaps n
of the most important factors in poul-
try culture, for if we do not properly
nourish the chicks we can not expect
to develop them into good flesh! MOI
can we expect to keep up their health,
vigor and vitality, if we %underfeed,
%overfeed, feed unbalanced rations or
feed anything but absolutely clean
feed" says N R. Mehrof, Extension
Poultry Specialist.
Just as soon as the chicks are
movedto the brooder there should be
some fine chick grit and fine oyster
shell on the hover floor. This is used
as their first feed because it puts
their gizzards and digestive systems
in condition to handle the hard, solid
feed'that they will eat from then on.
The chicks should be fed sour skim
milk Just as soon as they come in the
brooder. This can be put in little
vacuum water fountains. Natural
sour milk and buttermilk Ire good,
and if they are not at hand semi-sol-
id buttermilk diluted at the rate of
one part of milk to 6 or z parts OF
water. The Tactic acid in the sour
milk acts as an intestinal d~isinfectant
cleaning their digestive systems and
getting them in good working order.
1t is also very palatable and appe-
tizing.
A very light feeding of rolled oats
should be given at Dor of the first
day, Gust what they will eat up in
a few minutes) ; and in the afternoon
a feeding of a chick-scratch ration.
Perhaps it would help to feed on a
Single or cardboard until they learn
what and where the grain is.
First Week in the Brooder.
1t is important to feed the chicks
often and in small quantities at a
time. Feed the chicken-scratch ra-
lions four times a day sparingly to
make them clean up what they are
given each feeding and to make sure
that they are hungry when the next
feeding comes around. Continue to
feed the sour skim milk, but in addi-
ton have a supply of clean fresh wa
ter. From the fourth day on, put
wheat bran before the chicks in open
hoppers. Leave it before them a short
time the first day, but as soon as they
have become accustomed to it, leave
it before them constantly.
When the wheat bran is added re-
duce the feeding of chick scratch to
three times a day. Scatter the grain
in litter so that the chicks will be
compelled to exercise. Keep only
clean litter on the floors. Continue to
feed the milk. Have a supply of fine
grit and oyster shell. :
Another important part of baby
chick feeding is the use of green
feeds. These can be supplied in the
form of lettuce leaves, %sprouted oat
tops, finely chopped vegetables,
beets, etc.

KILLING THE WEEvIL.
Is the poison method of killing the
WeeyIl practleaI7
It ia, but It Is a particular method
which many farmers may fail with
when they first try 1t, because they
are not in the habit Of doing particu-
lar things right the first time.

Any one contemplating the use of
poison should get complete instruc.

leges.
Does Il pay to kill the weevlIs on
the young cotton stalks before squares
begin to form?
II the weevils come out Of winter
quarters in large numbers and threat
en- to take all the first squares, It
is considered advisable to kill as many
Of them as possible. Calcium arsenate
sprinkled from a perforated can or
from a cheese bag on the young plants
is the most efficient and economical
method of killing the weevils on the
young plants.
1t is not necessary to apply the poi
son until just before the squares begin
to form.
Is It practical to gather and destroy
squares?
II the poison method is not used it
will often be found necessary to gath.
er and destroy damaged squares that
contain immature weevils, in order to
have assurance of any sort Of a crop.
Picking up squares is not as efficient
mol as inexpensive as poisoning, but
If thoroughly done a fair to good crop
can be obtained.
Is poisoned molasses applied to cot
ton effective?
Poisoned molasses or other poisoned
sweets will kill some boil weevils dur,
ing dewless nights, but the poisoned
sweets will kill honey bees and other
sweet loving insects that are needed
to carry from flower to flower the
pollen that causes them to fruit. Cal.
cium arsenate dust is more efficient
and less expensive to 8 where poi.
