No Conflict Between
Town and Country.

The Herald cannot help but voice
the belief that no real conflict exists
between country jewellers and town
dwellers. In a fine sense their inter-
ests lie so close together and their ac-
tivities and aims are so much in COM
mon that one would find it hard to
define the line between them. Ger
tainly they need each other.
Little irritations can and do come
up. These things are more or less on
the surface In times of real need or
disaster we have seen country people
and town people show where their
hearts lie. When the need came the
help followed swiftly.
1t is hardly fair when something
unpleasant occurs to take it out on
a community as whole. We think all
will agree with this statement if they
think it over. And farmers as whole
are fair.

Take the Wires
OF the Square.

In saying that wires of all kinds
should be removed from the main bus
mess streets of Lancaster and that
the utilities would be glad to do so
if requested, the Herald does not mean
that such wires should be placed I'M
foreground We mean that wires should
be fed from alleys and not from
streets.
We get used to seeing these wires
and do not notice how bad they look.
In several cases telephone wires are
almost touching power wires and that
creates a danger hazard. The wires
should be moved to the alleys.

Don't be a
eyes" Man.

The school meeting Monday night
made us think of the old saying about
Eyes Men" Eyes Men" are those who
vote yes" on every subject because
they fear to be in minority.
we always admire seeing a man
stand up and voice his honest convic-
tion even though he knows he is a
minority and his views may be I'M
popular. His courage commands re-
spect. And without doubt, there are
two sides to every dispute.
There are two sides to the school
FAX matter. The Herald feels sympa-
thetic with the man who must sell
two carloads of hogs to pay his school
taxes and we marvel not so much at
his complaining as at his willingness
To struggle along with his share OF
the burden.

Success.
Thinkers define success, not in
terms of dollars but in terms of
achievement. The successful life is
the one that sooner or later expresses
itself in accordance with the slumber-

us. This success may come early in
life, it may come half way or it may
come at the close. The successful
man is he who sooner or later does

true success be measured.

LOEB, LEOPOLD GET
LIFE PRISON TERMS
Slayers Of Robert Franks
Also GiUen 80 Years.

ChfcagO.--Richard Loeb and Nathan
Leopold, Jr., were sentenced to life
in the Joliet penitentiary for the MUIR
der of little Robert Franks
In addition, they were given go
year sentence on the kidnapping charge.
Judge John r. Caverly gave his de-
, cisiOn in the sensational murder case.
Judge Caverly recommended that
the state department of public welfare
never admit the murderers to parole.
and that they thus be condemned to
die in prison.
AS soon as the decision was an
nounced, Sheriff Hoffman ordered the
boys taken to Joliet at once They
were hurried back to the county jail
and prepared for an immediate trip
to the prison.
The two prisoners showed extreme
emotion when they realized the judge
had tempered justice with mercy and
had spared their lives.
Judge Caverly announced that he
showed mercy solely for the reason
that the boys were under twenty-one
years Of age and therefore legal
minors.
He said that there was no mitiga-
ton proven and that the plea of guilty
had not helped the defendants any.
He said that never in the history of
Illinois had minor been sentenced
to hang on plea Of guilty. For this
reason, he declared, he took the entire
responsibility on his shoulders for saw
ing them from the gallows and sending
them to prison for life.
Judge Caverly also declared that he
believed the boys were abnormal, 9th
erwise they would not have committed
the crime.

Brewer GiUen Six Months
Jail Tern, and So, 500 Fine

Milwaukee ~ Christian Hochgreve,
secretary and manager Of the Hoch-
grove Brewing company Of Green Bay,
was sentenced to serve six months in
the house of correction when he en-
tered plea of guilty to a charge of
manufacturing and transporting beer
containing an illegal percentage of al
cohol.
The company named in the indict-
ment returned by federal grand
jury against Hochgreve was fined
$4,000.
The indictment contained five
counts. Each of the first four counts
charged transportation of forty cases
of beer, the offenses said to have been
committed on Dec. 20 and 81, 1923,
and March Is and 16 of this year. The
last count charged manufacture OF
$500 barrels of beer.
In plea for clemency the defense
attorney declared that it was the first
offense and asserted that the $500
barrels of beer manufactured were
manufactured legally and merely Tor
the purpose of making near beer by
withdrawing the alcohol.
The brewery was recently closed by
federal injunction and the permit
granted for the manufacture OF near
beer has been revoked.

WISCONSIN CROP
PROSPECTS GOOD
Big Yields of Potatoes and
Grain Predicted; Rains
Hurt Tobacco.

| Madison Wis.-Good prospects for
potatoes, an uncertain outlook for
corn, a small tobacco crop, and
threshing of good yields of oats and
barley, are reported in the September
survey of the state crop reporting
service at Madison.
The report says potatoes have been
promising throughout the season and
continue so with the exception Of
district from Oshkosh to Milwaukee.
Excessive rains in that section in
early August caused considerable rot
ting. Indications are that the number
of potatoes in hill is not unusually
large, but that the tubers will make
good size and that the field run will
contain very low percentage of small
potatoes.
The condition of the Wisconsin crop
on Sept. l was SO per cent of normal
compared to rs per cent last year.
The production forecast is 31,000,000
bushels compared to 26,0OO,OO bushels
last year.
August weather favored the crop in
tAAOoS VI IAAC ROldIO SlOWlAS oIdCC0 ~
that the forecast for the United States
is now 413,OO0,0O0 bushels, which is
almost the same as last years produce
ton Of 412,OOO,000 bushels. The crop
in the western states is uniformly
poor, but the prospect in the northern
states is generally good.
Corn is from two to three weeks
lot nd ,-ir1 sc
late frosts. The crop has made sat
isfactory growth for silage, but most
of the acreage is still in the milk
stage. Crop reporters judge the condi-
ton on Sept. to be 25 per cent below
the five year average
Heavy rains in eastern Wisconsin
lodged grain and greatly delayed har-
vesting. Yields of oats and barley
that were in sight on Aug. l were
accordingly reduced somewhat. The
weather conditions were also poor for
grain that was in the shock. How
ever, in spite of the difficulty of har-
vesting, yields are above average.
The total production of these two
feed crops is about IL per cent above
last year, This fact, together with
big hay crop, strengthens the posi-
tons Of Wisconsin dairymen in the
face of small crop of ripe corn.
Pastures are in excellent condition,
A number of factors have brought
about short tobacco crop. Cool and
wet weather, wind and hail, have all
inflicted damage. A considerable acre.
age is extremely small and spindly.
The condition is estimated to be SO
per cent of normal, compared to an
average condition of IS per cent. A
crop of about 3S,OOO,OOO pounds is in
prospect, compared to last years har-
vested crop of 48,0O0,000 pounds.

'PERSH|NC QUITS
AFTER AZ YEARS
General Believes Service Is
Highest Gift of Individu-
al to His Country.

New York.-After ~ years active
service, John J. Pershing, general OF
all the armies of the United States
and commander of the A. e. f., be-
lieves that service is the highest gift
of the individual to his country"
He expressed this belief in a signed
statement, addressed to soldiers on the
eve of his retirement, published in the
army's official paper, Recruiting News
which made it public.
ITO participate in ceremonies at
tendant upon the retirement of Off
GERS and enlisted men," General Per
shing states, "as / have done number
less times, gives one no adequate idea
of his feelings when his own turn
comes But even in severing an asso-
citation that has lasted as long as mine,
there are some compensations.
II can look back over that period
and see the evolution of the army from
a small body of highly specialized
Indian fighters, for the most part re-
mote both physically and mentally
from the great mass of their fellow
citizens, into the army of today-reg-
ulars, National Guard and reserves
two-thirds of which are civilians par
ticipating in the business, political,
and social lives Of their various COM
munities, but none the less integral
factors in the national scheme of de-
Tense.
"The old regular army was the
equal of any similar body in the world.
It's officers were hard working con-
scientious. and efficient, the men well
trained, without fear, and possessed
of a splendid spirit OF loyalty and
pride in the service But the army
was a thing apart from the everyday
life Of the nation What it did or
thought was Of little interest to the
ordinary citizen unless the headlines
told of battles and bloodshed.
"But the great war which put so
many of our young men into their
country's uniform awakened in patri-
otic breasts feeling for the army,
and interest in it and an understand
ing of it's real aims and purposes.
son Defense day, September IL, the
date which marks my retirement, l
shall have another consolation, one
that will mitigate the thought of part
ing. through the realization that the
country has not allowed the lessons
that cost so dearly in the World war
to be forgotten With no malice, but
with forethought that marks the wise
man. we shall, hope. look at our
selves in time of fair weather to see
how we might fare in storm.
''What a turning out of A. E. F.
veterans the twelfth will see 1t would
not be modesty but affectation if did
not recall with satisfaction having
commended the nations great armies
in the World war. And what patti
otic, brave and aggressive men! Whit
sacrifices and hardships they endured,
that first American army that ever
trod battlefield of the Old world
Such thoughts have been potent in
inspiring the new spirit in the regu-
lar army. May that spirit continue
to bring us the realization that seIv-
ice is the highest gift Of the individ-
ual to his country"
