CAN THIS BE AMERICA?

From an article in Time Magazine,
Jan. 10.
One night last week man was
standing in front of a drug store in
Lyons, Ga. 1t was twilight, and this
man, of middle age, strongly built,
in dark suit with soft hat pulled
over one eye, delayed minute on the
pavement in front of the drug store,
smoking a cigar and looking at no.
thing at all, perhaps, but the dusk
rising out of the ground, or perhaps
at three touring cars, filled with men,
which drew up across the street. The
men got out of the cars. They knock
ed down the man with the cigar.
There was no commotion. They threw
him into the back seat of one of the
cars and drove away.
Jellybeans Ga southern term for
loungers), who observed this incident
from the window of the drug store,
discussed it with bantering uneasi-
ness. They knew the man-Wimberly
e. Brown, an attorney. He had as
sisted at the prosecution of five men,
allegedly members of hooded gang
who shot one Willie Wilson to death
one night because he was supposed
to have stolen some syrup. Attorney
Brown did his best to have the men
convicted of murder. They were all
acquitted. Nobody in Toombs county
cared to change shoes with Attorney
Brown after that. Something would
happen to him, sure, and what in
terested the jellybeans was merely the
question of whether the men in the
touring cars were the same men who
murdered Willie Wilson. The muir
derers of Wilson were said to have
been Klansmen, but whereas the men
in the cars had flour bags over their
heads and tx. K. K" painted ON their
chests, everyone knew that that was
not the Khan uniform.
The jellybeans waited. After about
an hour there was roar down the
road and the cars re-appeared. Near

THREE GREAT IDEAS
OF BETTER SEED TRAIN

The Better Seed Special Train.
which has just completed a rum
through 81 counties in western and
northwestern Minnesota, over the
Northern Pacific, the 500, and the
Great Northern roads, was trying to
interest all of Minnesota's farmers in
three great things:
The elimination of dockage, in part
at least.
The prevention of losses caused by
plant diseases.
The more economical production of
better crops through the planting Of
tested and recommended varieties.
The 81 counties referred to in 1926
produced about 100000 bushels of
dockage at total cost of about
100000. Cleaned seed, crop rota-
ton, and careful cultivation would
have done much to prevent this.
Minnesota annually pays tremen-
dous toll because of plant Diseases
such as the smuts. A large part of
this can be prevented by proper seed
treatment-with copper carbonate or
formaldehyde. The Division of Pub
locations, University Farm, ST. Paul.
distributes without charge a bulletin
telling how to treat Seed
There are certain tested and tried
varieties of the major crops grown
in this state, which give the best re-
suits under normal conditions Far
mers are advised to plant these. A
list of them can be had, also without
charge, by writing to the same place.
The Better Seed Train is now
carrying the same kind of information
over the same roads to the farmers
of North Dakota.

tive w. !. Norton of Minneapolis tax
ing the lead, the house voted to re-
consider its action on the bill and
then, having restored it to life, sent it
back to the committee on public well
fare for further consideration.
drivers are coming in for great deal
of attention at the hands of the law
makers. An important bill just in
troduced by Senator MacLean of Min
neapolis and others would cut the auto
license tax in two and raise the gas
oline tax to three cents per gallon.
A number of members want to
bring back from earlier day the
famous whipping post. They propose
that, in addition to the usual punish
ment, persons convicted of certain
crimes and misdemeanors (includ-
ing wife-beating. of course) shall be
given couple dozen whacks across
the back with a leather strap, in
broad daylight, with a large crowd
watching the performance.
The keenly anticipated and widely
heralded report of the big Three"
did not put in its appearance last
week, as expected, and the irritation
over the delay ON the part of many
of the legislators is increasing.
At a public hearing, Wednesday
night, fierce opposition to the pro-
posed state police or constabulary was
expressed Frank Munger of ST. Paul
prophesied that, if put into effect,
Minnesota will become "Cossack rid
den state" David Broderick of the
Minneapolis police association pro-
posed instead "high-powered armored
cars" in the hands of county authori-
ties and state radio broadcasting
information to the various county
units. The supporters of the bill at
the hearing was largely from south
ern Minnesota.

DELAWARE BOY A HOG RAISER
w. r. Hill of BridgeviIle, Starting in
a Small Way, Now Nationally Known

This is the story of boy who went
to an exposition, saw hogs and de-
termined to raise them and win a
name for himself in the eastern states
of this country. He is William R.
Hill, 23-year-old son of George A.
Hill, Federal prohibition director in
Delaware. His home is in Bridgeville.
To date he has about 400 big type
Duroc Jersey hogs in his herd, and is
gradually gaining the reputation of
having the best herd in this part of
the country. When young Hill takes
his hogs to exhibitions, he is recogniz-
ed and remembered. He is inevitably
dressed as a western "cowman." /"
Large 10-gallon hat, checkered shirt,
and boots, but instead of horse his
steed is a high powered motorcycle.
When Hill was in the Bridgeville
High School, he became interested in
hog judging. He was on the Della
ware state team that went to the
Eastern States Exposition in Spring
field, Mass, and there, in competition
with representatives of 13 other states
he made the highest score in hog
Judging. While at the exposition, Hill
saw some big type Duroc hogs, and
when he came home he had the deter
mination to raise that type hogs. He
did, and within four years, he has
raised 400-head herd and has earned
large sums of money by exhibiting
them. Recently he went to Danbury,
Conn, with about % head of hogs.
His hogs are now being exhibited at
Trenton, N. J., in competition with
hogs from the large western ranches.
Several of his hogs weigh 1000
pounds. One hog, Eureka, a junior
yearling Duroc Jersey, never has been
defeated and has won the blue ribbon
in ID states,

TAX PAYERS WHO HAVE NOT PAID
1926 FILING FEE FACE COURT
CRIMINAL SUITS IN KENT AND
SUSSEX AGAINST DELINQUENTS
Smyrna To Be One of the Centers
Where Squad of ConstabIes Will
Operate-Ready Now To Act

Delinquent taxpayers in Kent and
Sussex Counties who fail to pay their
1926 filing fee within the next week,
may be faced by criminal suits. The
State school tax department will send
five special constables to assist the
magistrates in the various towns in
the lower Delaware counties in serv-
ing warrants on the delinquents. In
Kent County squad of constables
will have operating centers at Dover,
Smyrna, Frederica, Harrington and
Milford. In Sussex County a squad
will work from Georgetown, Seaford,
Delmar, Bridgeville, Selbyville, Laur-
el, Millsboro and Lewes. "The pro-
posal of the State School Tax Depart
ment to institute criminal suits
abainst taxables in Kent and Sussex
counties who fail to pay their 1926
filing fee within the next week, is no
idle threat" said Gerald Montaigne,
Assistant State Tax Commissioner,
Mondaym orning. '"There are be
tween $4,000 and $4,000 tax delin-
quents of this sort in the State and we
the money due the state is paid. If
they would rather go to jail than pay
up, there is plenty of room in the jails
and we will do our best to see that
they go there. $50 far in New Cas-
tie county where criminal suits were
instituted about three weeks ago as
a means Of rounding up delinquent
taxpayers, the method has proved a
decided success. This week we
plan to apply the same procedure to
the lower counties" The basis for
settlement before a delinquent comes
to trial before the magistrate will be
the same as offered to the delinquents
in the cases instituted in Wilmington
and New Castle county. Payment Of
filing fee, together with offer in COM
promise of not less than $5, the
amount of income tax due, and the
costs of the suit, will be required be-
fore the suit can be withdrawn. In
most cases where the filing fee only
is due the total amount necessary for
settlement before trial is $10.50. In
the event the taxable is tried under
section % paragraph z, on the Grim
inal warrant, bail is required for ap-
pearance before the upper courts. 1t
was pointed out at the State School
Tax Department Saturday that
prompt payment at this time may
avoid the institution of the suit, al
though the offense was committed
through failure to file a return on
March Is, 1927.
