STRANGE RAILROAD ORDER

The strangest railroad order for the
direction of train conductors has been
unearthed here. 1t hangs in the office
of the superintendent of the Baltimore,
Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad. AL
though there were telegraph lines in
those days the majority of the orders
were handed to the trainmen. This
masterpiece reads as follows:
July IL, 1882.

Embarrassing Moment.

1t happened when 1 made my first
visit to my husbands people. My sis
ter-inlaw had made some cakes and
had several yolks of eggs left and
didn't know what she could do with
them. 1 suggested she let me make
scrambled eggs like I had seen my
mother make, so nice and fluffy. But
I put too much flour in the mixture
and it came out so hard it was a task
to cut through it with a knife.-Chi-
cago American.

French Evening Wraps.

The Spanish influence, of which the
shawl is but one reflection, is trans
ferring itself to evening wraps in gay
Paris. French ladies are taking the
Spanish designs and the Oriental de-
signs and combining them to make
some of the b~est-looking wraps that
have been devised for many a long
day. Women are accustomed to re-
gard their evening wraps as the most
colorful Of their adornments, and, by
this new development of fashion, they
will lose not a jot in regard to smart

IMPROVED BUSINESS
CONDITIONS NOTED

Business conditions in Georgia and
Florida have greatly improved since
January /, according to Robert +.
Harvey, secretary of the agricultural
loan agency of the war finance cor
poration, whose office keeps in very
close touch with the banking and
financial status within the two
states.
confidence seems to have been
restored" says Mr.. Harvey, "as
banks in both states report an in
crease in deposits and a liquidation
in loans. This is due largely to an
active movement Of agricultural
products, the prices on which are
firm and considered reasonable.
Contrary to somewhat widespread
impression there have never been any
credit restrictions in this section dur
ing the entire period Of depression"
continued Mr.. Harvey. "Banks that
are members of the federal reserve
system have received adquate accom-
modations and extensions, and non
member banks have had support
from their local correspondents. Both
classes of banks have used freely
funds offered by the war finance
corporation.
1.-THE south, and more particularly
the state Of Georgia and Florida, are
undeVeloped, and therefore under
capitalized, which is the case with
almost all sparsely settled sections
of our country. The amendments
to sections % and "a, of the war fl
nance corporation act, which re-es'
tablished the war finance corpora
ton, hsa placed an unlimited sup.
ply of new capital at the disposal
of the corporation. This new CAPT
tai, which is equivalent to gold, can
be detained on very attractive terms
by banking institutions in Georgia
and Florida.
ut is my opinion, therefore, that
beth city and country banks should
avail themselves of this rapidly fad
ing opportunity of recapitaliZing
their communities by getting ad
vances from the war finance cor
poration, and loaning the money for
tho benefit of agriculture, thus Civ.
ing the farmers an opportunity CT
getting to work and producing new
wealth for this section. No applica-
tons will be received for advances
from the war finance corporation
after June !"

During the month Of May the L.

fifty of which are in Jeffeson coun-

pig census Of Alabama. =
AS the rural carriers make their

fill in the cards showing the num-
Der Of pigs born from June to

taken in the other states by the
rural mail carriers.
Many fine hogs are now being
raised in Alabama, especially in
south Alabama in what is known as
the wire grass section Of the state.
Alabama farmers have found hog
raising to be most profitable, and
large majority of the farmers of the
state are now raising all Of their
pork, while a good many are selling
hogs. During the past few weeks
there have been a number Of coop
erative hog sales held in the state
by the farmers. Large numbers OF
hogs have been sold at these sales,
and they have brought good prices.
In south Alabama especially
number Of the farmers have gwen
the greater part of their time to hog
raising, and have been raising less
cotton than formerly. They say
thew have found hog raising mosC
profitable since the coming OF the
cotton boil weevil.
Cooperative hog raising and hog
selling associations have been and
are being organized among the farm
ers of Alabama in various sections
of the state. Many Of the farmers
have Just awakened to the fact that
hogs can be raised as we'll and with
as much profit, if not more, than
they can be raised in the northern
states of the union.

The 41-foot mark will probably be

The crest Of the flood in the Mis-

night with a stage close to 81 feet,
which will be maintained for several
days. The crest of the Ohio flood
is passing Shawneetown, Ills, with

slowly.
At st. Louis the river is falling
slowly, but the Missouri is still ris-

in sight before the crest is reached.
The Cumberland and Tennessee are
falling, and the st. Francis river in
Arkansas is On a stand tonight.
Practically all the flood water has
run out of the Wabash, and the
river is falling at Paducah. Heavy
rains in the Wabash valley are said
to be indicated by the weather map
which may again increase the stage
at Paducah.
Both weather bureau officials and
government and levee engineers ad-

CONCORD, Mass.-Fifty to rs
cents a pound for turkey would be
bad enough, even at Christmas time.
Any housewife will tell you that!
Well, then, consider the turkeys
raised by Miss Margaret Mahaney,
of Turkey Park" in Concord:
You can't purchase gobbler from
her for less than $50, and sometimes
she gets as high as SIS for them.
And, besides that, you can't buy
one for love nor money if she finds
out you're going to kill it for the
table.
Better GobbIers
This is all because Miss Mahaney
has brought turkey raising to the
last word in scientific point and she
has cleared a neat "nest egg from

Her idea is to promote a better
brand of gobblers. AS a result she

to those who would raise gobblers:
avoid close breeding. Pick
strong, medium sized birds. Coops
should be about five inches from the
ground to avoid dampness. Keep
coops dry and celan.
The Proper Feed.
Feed them rolled oats and dry
bread crumbs, with plenty of green
stuff and sour milk. When first
Matched, turkeys should be given
hard boiled egg and cut up dande-

CRIME CARNIVAL
IN NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK, March 25.-Queer
behavior by amateur semi-pro and
professional law-breakers breathed
new life into the police blotter to-
day.
A healthy, grown-up man, 81 years
old and married, was rescued from
an office in which he said he had
been cooped up since last Sunday
by three men who kidnapped. him
because he fell down on his job. His
Job was to procure and deliver per-
mits to withdraw 1926 gallons of
whisky, and for this service he had
received a $4,000 check in advance.
The kidnapped man was Edward
S. Stocked, q tire salesman, and
those arrested because of his eXpe-
rience were Charles Alessi, truck
driver; Romeo Forlini, real estate
dealer, and Morris Rothenberg, the
latter alleged to have guarded
Stoeckel with a pistol while he was
held prisoner in an office near Times
Square
Somehow, Stocked got in touch
with his wife during the week and
she, it was said, went to the office,
got down on her knees, and with
| tear-filled eyes begged the trio to
let her husband go home.
1t was said she even promised to
mortgage the family cottage on
Long Island and make good the So.
900 check, but her offer met chilly
refusal. Right then Mrs. Stocked
decided that if she was to get her
husband, she had better seek the aid
of a lawyer. So she did, and the
lawyer got hold of four police de-
tectives, who broke into the real
estate office and rescued the hus-
band.
There is some other devilment
stirring in Times Square today. 1t
beg n before dawn, when a cafe
manager, waiter, a chef, three
patrons and six cops ran after two
fellows who attempted to empty the
restaurants cash register. The pair
was lost in the early morning
crowds, but later, one drink-dizzied
suspect was arrested.
In Fourth avenue, David Summer
vile, a truck driver, was hit on the
head and then kicked to death by
a man he caught stealing bolts of
silk. Scores of working girls
| screamed when they saw him at
| tackled. The police arrested Samuel
| Dana, charged with homicide.
Over in Brooklyn, a man entered
the butcher shop conducted by Mrs.
Mary Albaneze, and she, awakened
by the noise, caught hold Of the in
truder, who then proceeded to cut
her four or five times with a big
knife. Leaving the shop, Michael

man and was arrested.
