TWO HELD FOR SELLING
OF STOLEN TOBACCO

A couple OF weeks ago a young
negro appeared at the little store of
l.. l.. Sutlive at Elm avenue and Lee
street with a large number of packs
ages of cigarettes and tobacco for
sale. The police were notified but
IN the meantime the negro who be-
came suspicious, disappeared. He
was arrested Saturday by the police,
giving the name of Willie Patrick.
He also informed the police that
Henry Bivins, another negro, turned
the tobacco over to him to sell, prom
ising to split the receipts. Both are
now in Jail, while an effort is be-
ing made to discover where the loot
was originally stolen. 1t is believed
to have come from a car robbery.

DEAR THELMA:

You know how preachers love
chickens refer to those with
feathers on their legs. Well, here's
q new one ] got the other day:
One of cur Prominent Divines
was out in the country for din
ner. After one of those fried
chicken dinners that are famous in
these parts, the P. D. (Promi-
iient Divine) and his host strolled
out on the veranda for smoke
on a chew mean the host, not
the p. d.
Ashley discussed crops, taxes,
prohibition and other evils, they
were greatly annoyed by wee bit
OF a chicken. yelling it little head
off at the bottom of the steps. It
was Just a little biddy, that lost
its mother.
Wonder what's the matter with
that little fellow" said the P. ID.
HE seems to be in great distress.
Don't KNOW" said the farmer.
and he kept on talking. But the
chick, too, kept his lungs goings.
Finally the farmer~ became exas-
perated and yelled out at the wee
bit Of chick:
HI, don't heller at me; this
here preacher eat your mamma ".
Now, Thelma, dear, that's what
! call good one, and next time
] write I'll tell you another.
Answering your last letter. I'll
say business isn't so bad. Course.
some folks are hard hit, but in my
young life I've found that business
comes to the fellow that goes af-
ter it, and I'm on the go.
Then, too, the quality of vulca-
nizing, we do, the quality of tires,
we sell, have made lots of friends
for us. When you sell man a

FARM BUREAU TO
BACK WOOL POOL
The State Federation Accepts Market
ing Plan Formulated by the
Joint Committee.
SALES AGENCIES FAVORED
Three of These Reported to be Availa-
BILE to Handle Wool Produced
in Minnesota.

St. Paul, April 6.-The Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation has put it's
strength behind statewide co-opera-
tive wool marketing project, worked
out by representatives Of the various
wool producers organizations in the
state. The plan, prepared by joint
committee Of farmers, calls for the
marketing of Minnesota wool on the
basis Of state pool.
County wool growers associations
ale the foundation stones in the pool
ing plan. Wool growers in every i'm
portant wool producing county are to
be urged to form strong local associa-
tions, and to choose for themselves the
agency to market the wool shipped
from their county association.
Three sales agencies are suggested
in the report of the wool marketing
committee as available to handle Min
nesota's pool. They are the Wabasha
County Wool Growers association,
launched by the Wabasha County
Farm bureau; the National Wool de-
partment of Pennington, and the Ma
tional Wool Warehouse and Storage
company, acting as the American
Farm Bureau federation's national
wool sales agency, at Chicago.

Wisconsin Hatcheries Inspected.


The Wisconsin poultry hatcheries
are the only ones in the United States
which are under state regulation and
inspection, according to information
collected by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Because of the
menace to the poultry industry
through the sale Of young chicks Of
inferior quality and breeding, the
state department of markets and the
poultry department of the University
Of Wisconsin have established regula-
tions and requirements for hatchery
hocks and for hatcheries, and those
that fill the requirements and live up
to the regulations will be known as
wisconsin inspected and accredited
hatcheries and hatchery focks." A
list of the accredited hatcheries and
flocks has been prepared and pub
lished. Chicks purchased from hatch
cries on the list bear the mark Of the
department Of markets, which gives
assurance that they are standard bred
and from reasonably good egg-pro-
'ducing strains. Inspectors issue GER
tifcates to owners of hatcheries and
focks that fill the requirements.

Best Fowls for Breeding.

In selecting breeding stock for egg
production choose birds that show
signs of being good layers, as indi-
Gated by trap-nest records and those
having egg-laying characteristics,
such as deep bodies with good width
between the pelvic bones and good
depth between pelvic and keel bones.
Select birds as near standard type as
possible. For brooding yearling or
two-year old hens are preferred.
Matching eggs should not be kept
more than ten days.
N. E. Chapman, poultry specialist
at University farm, now gives the
foregoing advice, advocates dry, warm,
we'll ventilated quarters for the flock
with plenty of scratching room and
range as soon as the weather permits.
To insure laying the breeders should
be kept in good condition by proper
feeding. A laying ration should con-
sist of from 10 to Is per cent meat
scraps.

Was George Imbued With Vanity.


The truth will out. George Wash
ington could not tell a lie and he died
without destroying the evidence the
father of his country wore corset!
The corset is now in the Gunther col
lection of historical treasures at Chi
cago. Miss McIllvaine, custodian Of
the museum, spoke Of the corset
systematically as his "belt." It was
what the ladies might call a "bras-
siere"- stiffened at the sides with
whalebone, but frightened with straps
instead of laces. To this accessory,
the first in war undoubtedly was in
debted for his handsome military
figure-a secret revealed now for the
first time.
The above story, from a Chicago
paper is nothing to cause surprise.
Many an officer in European armies
wears corset today-the private can
not, of course, afford this luxury.
Striplings whose fathers are wealthy
and have bought them commissions in
the army are the fellows who largely
patronize the he-corsietiere. You can
see them any day in the week prone
nading the Thames Embankment in
London, the Boulevard du Bots de
Boulogne in Paris, or Inter der Lin
den in Berlin with chests whaleboned
out and assuming an important all

New Regime of U. S. Grain Growers
Inc, to Eliminate Wasteful-
moss in Adnninisf ra4inn
ness in Administration.


Elimination of wasteful practices in
administration and close adherence to
the plan of the committee of seventeen
will mark the new regime in charge of
the U. S. Grain Growers, Inc, accord
ing to a statement issued last week
at the Chicago offices by c. H. Gus
tafson, president; James X. Mason,
vice president, and Frank M. Myers,
secretary.
The statement points out that while
radical changes were made in the
board, the selections were made by a
majority of the membership, repre-
scented by elected delegates. "While
compulsory pooling was not direct
issue, the time came when the direc-
torate had to be either Fundamentally
in favor of a pooling plan or in favor
Of the plan of the committee Of seven
teen," the statement says.
1t asserts that the company expects
to be in position to market grain for
it's members in several of the large
markets within 80 days. With respect
to the attitude Of the U. S. Grain
Growers toward other organizations
the officers say they will do all in
their power to make use of existing
organizations, "but not at the expense
of sacrificing the original plan of the
committee of seventeen"
The membership las, week increased
2,5O6, to total of 55,285. The in
crease in Minnesota was 1913 and the
aggregate 2,2O2.

The Poor Working Girl" Arises.


After years of patient endurance the
working girl" has revolted. She
wants it known that hereafter the
kind of stockings she wears is her own
business. She is tired Of being told
on how much money she should dress
herself; how she can put quarter a
day aside to endow libraries or as pro-
lection for old age. Indeed, who ever
heard Of a pretty working girl grow
ing old-alone?
Perhaps, if Miss Nell Berger, wit
ness for employers before the Kansas
industrial court, had not included cot
ton stockings in her itinerary of the
working girls wardrobe there would
have been no storming Of dry goods
counters in Topeka. To suggest that
working girls should roll 25-cent stock
ings is a deliberate insult. No one
with an eye to beauty, with an appre-
citation Of symmetry, would have done
it. No man would do it.
Miss Berger also thoughtfully put in
one umbrella every two years, ISL or
so cents a year." An umbrella would
be handy in case Of an emergency.
The sympathy of the men, however,
will be with the poor working girl in
her revolt against the 'uplifters" who
are always looking after her stockings

pleasure or comfort Sioux City Trib-

Amending Immigration Laws.

Ellis island, always Astounding in
human drama, has witnessed some pc
culiarly poignant scenes since the i'm
restriction bill became law.
Bitter and brief has been many a So
journ in the land of promise, as would
be immigrants, the quota for their
race already filled, have been turned
back on voyage to the place whence
they came. In some cases, and despite
the best of faith on the part Of the
newcomers, they have been snatched
from the arms of families awaiting
them in the United States.
All this promises to end with the
passage of amendatory legislation
framed jointly by the senate commit
tee on immigration and immigration
Commissioner Husband, which extends
the provisions of the existing quota
law. It is proposed that after July 1,
1922, any alien wishing to come to the
United States must secure from the
American consul in his country of
residence certificate showing that the
admissible quota has not been ex-
hausted. Steamship companies, which
in several cases have run foul of the
regulations since the limiting enact
ment became active, would be subject
to fine and other penalties if they
transported an alien to America who
could not show such certificate.
This legislation is wise not only be-
cause of the grief and material loss
which has been inflicted automatically
upon some foreigners by operation of
the present restriction clauses, but be-
cause it will prevent the recurrence of
such situation as now confronts the
immigration authorities. An execu-
tive order has been issued, perforce,
indefinitely extending temporary per-
mits of sojourn issued to about $500
aliens, quotas for the nationalities of
whom have been filled. They are
scattered all over the United States
and rounding them up would mean too
great an Observation-Disclosures Her
