SHERIFF DESCRIBES BATTLE
WITH ASHLEY DESPERADOES

shotgun in his face and Deputy Wig

the same time, telling him to throw
up his hands or we would blow his
head off. Virgins reached in the
car and got Ashley's rifle While
Chief of Police Smith got Lynn's
rifle.

out of the car with hands up, and
walk around in front OF the car

them

the men to search the outlaws, as

pair, and asked Virgins If he had
a key to fit them. I was getting
more handouts out Of the pocket
of the door when Ashley gave a sig

them.
THE shooting began then and
there, and when the smoke cleared
away all four of the desperadoes lay
on the ground, dead. When the
shooting began we were between
10 and Is feet from the desperadoes."
Had Regular Arsenal
When Sheriff Merritt and the other
officers approached the car, Ashley
and Lynn were in the back seat,
Mobley was driving and Middleton
sat beside him. Ashley carried
rifle and two revolvers, according to
the officers. Lynn had a rifle and
?. revolver, MObley had two re-
volvers and Middleton one revolver.
They carried several hundred rounds
of ammunition.
Ashley apparently was 35 years
of age; Mobley, 20; Lynn, between
25 and 80, and Middleton, %. The
bodies were brought to Fort Pierce.
Disposition Of the bodies had not
been announced late today.
Ashley and Mobley figured in a
battle with officers at a moon

Everglades last spring. in which
John Ashley's father and a deputy
sheriff were killed, and several
members of the band arrested John
Ashley and Mobley, the elder Ash

them to evade capture.

he has started to run the race of
life.
Statistics show that an appalling
number of youthful marriages end
in divorce. This is because the young
and undeveloped have no idea what
they want in their life partners. Calf
love is as beautiful as the daisies ii
spring, and it fades away just as
soon. No mature man ever meets
his first sweetheart in later life with
out getting down on his keens and
thanking God that he didn't get her
The girl that ravishes a lads fan
cy at nineteen bores him stiff at
thirty. He could no more spend a
happy evening in her society than he
could make a meal on chocolate
eclairs. His tastes have changed
His ideals have changed. His needs
have changed. And the tragedy
comes in if he has married his boy
hoods fancy and is tied to a woman
whom he cannot change.
No man should marry when he is
very young because no boy knows
how TO treat a wife. 1t takes pa
tience, and wisdom, and subtlety to
deal with the eternal feminine, and
no very young man possesses these
qualities.
On the contrary, all boys are self
ish and cruel, and filled with an over
weaving sense of their own impor-
lance, and they make the sort of
husbands who cause their wives to
salt their bridal wells down in tears.
A man should not marry until he
has had his playtime and is ready to
settle down and stay at home.
IF you will run over the list Of your
acquaintance you will find that al
most every wandering husband is one
who married very young. He didn' t
get his full of running around. and
dancing, and philanderinG before
marriage, and so after marriage he
is lured by the bright lights and
ready to chase any petticoat that
crosses his path.
No man raises such a'bumper crop
of wild oats as those who wait to
SOW them until they are middle-aged.
OF course, there are exceptions to
all rules, but ninety-nine times out of
a hundred the rich boy who marries
will land in the divorce court, and
the poor boy who marries will end in
the bankruptcy court.
The poor boy has no chance to sue.

Theory and Results From Spraying
Peaches

reaches
V. l.. s., Miami, Fla, writes:
1 wish information in regard to
me spraying Of peaches. [ have
been told that they are spray
ed on account of insects, and a
last spray is used on the
peaches to give them the red
color, in order to preserve them
Tor shipment and make them
look pretty. Is this really true?
Peaches are attacked ordinarily
by two classes Of destructive agen.
cleS. The first Of these constitutes
group of insect pests-San jose
Scale, Curculio, lice, borers, and
nematdoe worms. The fungus dis
eases attacking the peach are:
BroWn rot, scab, peach leaf curl,
dle'back, crown gall and rosette.
Spraying has been undertaken for
the purpose of protecting peaches
against the damage effected there.
fore by insects or fungous diseases.
The color of peaches cannot be
heightened by spraying; but it can
be influenced to some extent by
the skill with which the peach tree
is fed. For instance, an abundance
or the mineral elements in the soil
and even the character of the soil
itself may influence the color to a
considerable degree. Certainly, the
amount of sunshine and the guam
tlty of rain which falls affect the
color of the peach. In addition, the
number of peaches on a tree may
play a determining part in affect.
ms the color. In other words. when
a tree
fruit, choicer grade will be har-
vested. Fewer specimens. large in
size, finer in quality, and better in
color will be produced than where
the tree is allowed to carry TOO
many fruits to maturity.
Spraying is done to kill insects
Which might attack the surface Of
the peach and eat towards the stone
as curculio. Spraying is also done
TO protect the surface of the fruit
from diseases. If the skin of the
peach is uubrollen and there are
no insects on the inside to dana ce
the interior of the fruit and the
surface is healthy and free from
disease spores, a perfect fruit is oh.
tanned In orchards where an at.
tempt to produce high-class fruit
that will stand shipment for long
distances is made. one or two more
sprayings are ordinarily made than
may be considered necessary by
some people. This is due. however.
not to heighten the color of the
fruit, but to thoroughly disinfect the
surface of the peach so as to pre-
vent the development Of any spores
which may have found a lodgment
on its surface. But for spraying.

not amount to anything. as most of
the fruit would be wormy. and the
