Spraying Notice.

[ Many of the fruit growers in the
Orchard City district are preparing to
put on their first cover spray for the
second brood about July 5th. Expert
ments being carried on at the College
Orchard at Austin show that this is
nearly two weeks too early and that
spray put on at this time is a waste
of time, labor and material. Orchard
lists are urged to visit the College Or
chard and see for themselves how the
experiment is conducted SO that they
may thoroughly understand 1t and
draw their own conclusions.
I Worms entering now are the tail
end of the first brood and will soon
cease. Previous experiments show
] that first brood worms require from
| 26 to 80 days from leaving the apple
TO spin cocoons, pupate. emerge as
moths, lay eggs and hatch as second
brood worms. The first came out of
the apples June 10. Figuring 26 days
for the dormant period. the first, Sec
ond brood worms should be ready to
enter the apples on or about July Is,
and spray should not be applied be-
fore that time.
Worms taken from under bands this
year have not yet emerged as moths
and until they do, no absolutely defin-
ite dates can be given, but it is GER
tain that no second brood worms will
be entering apples before July 15. The
men at the College Orchard will be
glad to explain the experiment to any
one interested and Mr.. Newton will
at any time talk to any group desiring
to arrange for him to meet with them.

Keep EverIastinoiy At Il.

Mr.. Cerchant. did you ever pick up
a handful OF fine sand and watch II
dribble through your fingers. That's
the way trade drifts away from the
merchant who never advertises. Local
merchants can reach the largest num-
ber Of people in the shortest space Of
time and with the least cost by adver-
tising in the Independent. You have
got to keep on telling the people about
your store week after week II you
want to keep on selling them. Con-
tinuous newspaper advertising this
month and next month will keep your
stock turning. Trade lang uishes un-
der warm weather influence, and the
best antidote for summer business
debility is strong doses OF good, bold
newspaper advertising.

The Fourth Of July.

\ America has lifted high the light
which will shine unto all generations
and guide the feet Of mankind to the
goal of justice and liberty and peace"
Next Wednesday, July 4, we will
celebrate the 147th anniversary Of the
birth of the United States. This is
the day of the year which announced
ITO mankind the great fact OF American
Independence. The Fourth Of July Is
the greatest day our nation ever saw,
or will see, the day that instituted the
liberty and freedom all now enjoy,
and laid the foundation for the great.
lest republic on the face of the earth,
delegating to all equal rights, equal
justice, life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
Every man becomes somewhat more
proud and lofty as he remembers that
nearly century and half have roll
ed away, and the great inheritance of
Liberty is still his-his, undiminished
and unimpaired-his in all its original
glory-his to enjoy-his to transmit
to future generations.
The day for "spreadeagle" brag is
long past but there is no reason why
1--WE should hesitate to say that what
not we alone hut all the people Of
the world believe that this country Is
the greatest, the strongest, the most
self-supporting of all the nations on
earth. 1t is the greatest self-governing
community the world has ever seen.
The Constitution, the basis on which
our government was built, has been
the guiding star for century and a
half for all the people of the world
who are struggling toward the light Of
liberty and justice. The preamble Of
that wonderful document names six
things to be accomplished by it. They
are ITO form more perfect union
establish justice, insure domestic tran.
guilty, provide for the common de-
tense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings Of liberty"
Under that Constitution we have pres
pered more than any other country in
the history of the world. The final
test of the validity, the strength and
irrestible force OF the American ideal
| came in the great World war.
\ AS national holiday, July or In
dependence day is probably more gen
orally observed by all the people than
| any day set apart as holiday. The
patriotism of every loyal man moves
on him to commemorate the day by
observing it in some way. We hope
all Of our readers will observe our
country's glorious birthday having a
happy day and celebrating in a proper
and fitting manner

DAVIS URGES AMERICA TO HELP EUROPEANS

NEW YORK, August lo.-Declaf- ing that the seriousness or the sltua- ton today in Europe could not be svaeperated, John w.

nicalities of law serve to aid him, and in the end he may be convicted, but he uses all means to delay.
 The success of an under cover" man in working up case when he actually represents himself Is a pro- hibition agent depends on the as sumption, common among bootleg gers, that every man has his price. The bootlegEer takes 1t for granted that here Is prohibition agent 'out to get his" and that it is only necessary to approach the subject of bribery adroitly to obtain the de- sired ends. The agent 0rranges the conversatitn in such a way that a proposal fer split comes from the bootle gger. The under cover" man appears to agree, and the time comes when money is passed. Sometimes more money Is forthcoming.
 The raids are made, bootleggers are arrested and the system ,cCl- lapses. The liquor vendors for a time are incensed. but ordinarily soon accept the conclusion that they have been outplayed at their own game.
 A roll f yellow bills is part of the property" of a government agent, and he learns to display them dis creetly. net by crudely boasting of h's roll but perhaps in the course of a mock wager.
 Detective Methods
 Seldom do under cover" men work with the local authorities. In the first place, there is always doubt as to who can be trusted to keep secrets. Secondly, methods of detec- ton ordinarily are most effective when they are limited strictly tc bootleg circles Bootleggers have their own code of condct, and under cover" men must be prepared to be good fellows" to go to the races. the prize fights, the bull fights on the border, tG be jovial members of week end parties, or to visit sum mer resort for a few days with inn portant members of the bootleg group.
 Catching high powered beer man ufacturers is a specialized variation Of enforcement work. Here, rules and the technique are different. With beer bulk is large and alco- holic content is dubious. An agent may stop a wagon loaded with beer only to find tha the supposed con- traband is an entirely innocent cereal beverage. He may inspect the output of a brewery every day for a week, month or a year, and find it contains less than Cne-half of one per cent Of alcohol, as permitted by the law
 If, however, the agent overlooks a day, some breweries may turn out that day alcoholic beer and distribute it widely. Seizures have been made of high-powered beer in bottles bear ing the label of a reputable manu- facturer of cereal beverage who is above suspicion as a violator of the law. In such cases bottles contain ing the legal product of the reput- table manufacturer have been emp

ROBBERS MURDE ER OLD NE EGR0 COUPLE
Frightened Away, Leaving $935 In Mans Pocket.
 Three Arrested

OPELIKA, Ala, August 15.-(Spe- cial Leased Wire)-A double mur- der was committed Tuesday night on the Charley Myhand farm in Russell county, one mile from the Lee county line. Two aged negroes, Henry In- gram and his wife, were killed in their home by band of five negroes. The object of the double killing was robbery, but no booty was obtained. According to common report the old regro had a lot or money, having carried as much as S1,000 about his person all the time.
 By previously arranged plans Of attack the five negroes went to the home of the old couple Tuesday night about 9:30. They found the house in darkness, the old man partly un- dressed sitting in chair in the door way and his wife in bed. The negroes, remarking about the dark night, asked for light. Matches were given thenreand when a match was lighted one Of the negroes shot the old man through the head, killing him instantly The woman began screaming, and they turned on her, shooting her three times and only. stopping her screams by cutting her throat with a large knife,
 Screams of the dying woman awakened the neighbors and the murderers becoming frightened, slipped away leaving the money un- molested which was later found to the amount of $935, under the belt which the old man wore about his waist.
 The murder occurred in Russell county, but the Russell county offi- cers called on Sheriff Moon for as- sistance and he and other officers. Wednesday, afternoon brought back three negroes thought to be impli- cated and placed them in the jail here. Their names are: Porter My hand. Lon Myhand and Douglas Jones. One of the men, Porter My hand. being subjected to grilllng by Sheriff Moon confessed, 1t IS sad, stating that five of them had planned The robbery several weeks ago had had ordered a pistol by mail for the 9,, r.urpose. but because of the delay Tn tts arrival they borrowed another pistol. He said they were frightened away from the house by the cries or inc woman, intending to return when things got quiet. Two other negroes are implicated.
