HARTMAN OUT OF ICTY
Believed lie Is Comforting Over
LigOur Cases and Ranger Activities.

United States District Attorney
John ID. Hartman is out of the city,
Monday, on mission that has not
been made public. There is an uncon-
fiimed rumor in the federal building,
however, that the United States at
torney is on a mission for the purpose
of comforting with certain high gov
eminent officials on matters pertain
ing TO the rangers and the enforce
met of the ational liquor lawi. Thit
rlmor originated, it ii believed, from
the fact that it is known that gov
crnment officials are frowning upon
the evident reluctance of state officers
to file liquor cases in the state courts.
Nm information as to the destina-
ton of Mr.. Hartman, as TO the rea-
son of his absence, or as to the time
of his return was youchsafed, how
ever.

resorted to in an effort to save her.
Investigation later resulted in the
officers finding the wrecked vegetable
wagon in the POO block West Com
merce street. Officers during the
early morning had failed TO find eye
witnesses to the accident.
The wagon, detectives reported to
headquarters later, had doubtlessly
been struck by n car travelling at
high speed. Tracks OH the pavement
showed when the stcel-rimmed wheels
had been dragged for considerable
distance. The wagon was practically
demolished. Officers later found the
horse that had been attached to the
vehicle. It had been stopped five
blocks from the scene Of the accident
and had been tied in the 1000 block
West Commerce street.

According to Science Service a. a

financial returns than hardwoods.
They grow In close stands at a rela-

some Of them produce turpentine of

Envying Big Incomes.

From the Thomasvil1e Enterprise,
You often hear boy envy doctor be-
cause he gets a large practice and collects
good fees regularly The boys idea of a
good business is one that pays handsome
income and he is correct in that assumption.
Yet he rarely ever stops to wonder how the
doctor got that practice, how he worked year
in and wear out for his education, then with
many hardships and discouragements to get
practice and finally how he arrived by honest
and honorable living to a point where he
could command sufficient practice to make
him comfortable.
This is characteristic of all professions or
all businesses The lad who starts out at a
small salary and has a chance OF acquiring
knowledge of how to business or to
earn a living as professional man doesn't
get the big salaries at the start He IS max
ing during his hard years the foundation to
which he can securely tie his big structure.
Disbursements come by the carload, ev
cry day and Sunday too Yet there are thous
ands OF men in commanding positions today
whose success is due more to the patience
and care they exercised while working in
small Jobs. Look with envy on the big in
come boys but learn at the same time that
there is a chance for every fellow to get there
if he starts out right and holds the course
patiently and honestly giving good. work for
every dollar received and acquiring expert
ence and ability at the same time.
The young man that starts out for the big
salary at once gets perhaps more than lot
OF other fellows. He doesn't need it, however,
and he never gets much higher unless he
has more in view than the first payment. The
man with vision and persistence is the one
who will succeed, and there thousands
