the University of Minnesota. "These
inquiries are the best answered-NO.
Many misinformed persons are
making statements to the effect that
this or that mineral mixture will
prevent hog cholera, NEGRO worms,
etc. These statements are without
foundation and are misleading, to say
the least.
Anti hog cholera serum is the
only agent that will prevent cholera.
1t has no effect on the worms and
will not prevent NEGRO. 1t is not a
shotgun remedy.
"AIl farmers are warned to use
nothing other than anti hog cholera
serum for cholera control. Don't
wait until hogs are sick before you
think of vaccination. This is often
too late.
Hog cholera is a specific contag-
ious disease. Mineral feeding has no
relation to the disease whatever. The
feeding of minerals is satisfactory for
the lack of these elements in the
feed. 1t will not prevent conta gious
diseases.
"Elfdemics of hog cholera are Of
ten encouraged by the failure of hog
raisers to take advantage of this pro-
tective treatment. This statement is
simple warning, that anti hog chol-
era serum will protect hogs from
cholera and no other agent can be
relied upon to cure or prevent this
disease"

Owners Slow to Act
Under 1927 Forest Law

Farmers and other land owners
have been slow to make use of the
1927 law providing for auxiliary for
ests, says Parker o. Anderson, forest
err of the agricultural extension SER
vice of the University of Minnesota
Lack of interest may be largely due
to lack of information concerning the
new act, he believes.
Any owner of land may apply to
the county board to have his land
classified as auxiliary forest, after
which a contract is entered into with
the state for a longtime period
While undergoing reforestation the
land will be taxed at only 8 l'er cent
of one-third of its true and full val
uation. Commercial forests under
development under the reforestation
contract will be subject to an addi-
tional tax of three cents an acre for
fire protection purposes. When the
timber is cut, yield tax of 10 per
cent of its full value will become
due.
1t will thus be seen that the law
provides for a low tax on timber
while it is growing and postpones
payment of most of the tax until the
timber is cut and marked. The max
imum contract period with the state
is for so years, but contracts may be
renewed.
The law also provides for wood
lots. Farmers setting aside acreage
for this purpose may avail themsel-
YES of the law subject to the tax
heretofore described except that they
are not required to pay the three
cents an acre fol- fire protection
Many farmers possess areas of stony
rough land which is of little value
for producing farm crops but which
will produce good crops of timber
Such tracts come within the provi-
sions of the new law if not less than
20 acres in extent.
'The; land use problem is of the
greatest Importance" says Mr.. And
erson. Land owners should make an
inventory of their holdings to deter
mine the best use that can be made
of them. If adapted primarily for

$4,000 ROBBERY
IS REPORTED HERE
SiIverWare, China and An
tiques Taken From
Written Home.

Mrs Francis S. Written of this city,
White Sulphur Springs. w. Va. and
New York. yesterday reported to police
the theft from her new home at 1000
Massachusetts, avenue of silverware,
china, antiques and bric-a-brac esti-
mated to be worth $4,000.
Mrs. Written, it is said, has been re-
siding for the past several months at
White Sulphur Springs, leaving her
valuables In storage in New York City.
Recently she decided to move here for
the Winter season and had the articles
packed and shipped to her new home
where they were stored on the top floor
of the building. ... ......
The articles were received and signed
for by the janitor, according to Head
quarters Detective. H. E. Brodie, and
then, in the presence of other en-
ployes, were placed in the storage rooms
for safe keeping.
Two days of investigation have failed
to reveal a clue as to the manner or
time Of the disappearance.
Mrs. Written has been unable to
place an approximate value on the
stolen articles. She is tireless COL
lector of antiques and small articles of
art, it is said, and the valuables repre-
sent pieces from over the entire world.
Among them was a silver set that she
remembers as having cost more than
$500. There are also brocades, candle
sticks and ornaments for the wall and
table.
While decorators and carpenters
have been preparing the house for &C.
cupancy Mrs. Written has been stop
ping at the Hay-Adams House, Six
tenth and H streets. Her husband is
former president of the Columbia
Photograph Co., and wealthy resi-
dent of New York.
Mrs. Whitten's mother arrived in the
city yesterday it was said at the hotel,
and their chauffeur afterward drove
them to Fredericksburg, Va, for the
evening.

jA|L BREAK FAILS
IN FA|RFA AK COUNTY
Prisoners Stop to Stage Party
on Seized Rum; larry
Too Long.

A break from the Fairfax County
Jail that died aborning when eight pris-
oners tunneling their way to freedom
with spoon handles accidentally forced
their way into compartment IN the
Jail where seized liquor was stored, ana
tarried to stage a party, even as their
operations had been discovered, came
to light last night.
The escape was foiled by the alertness
of Wilson Darr, jailer and deputy
sheriff, who discovered the plan soon
after the men had gone to work We'd
nesday night, but he didn't act soon
enough to save the liquor.
So Bricks Removed.
The prisoners had removed SO bricks
from an outer wall by laboriouSly dig
ging away the mortar when they broke
into the storeroom. They broke open
three gallons of the liquor and were
going strong when the jailer and force
of deputies broke in upon them.
The men set to work removing the
bricks Wednesday night, Jailer Darr
said, and he learned of the attempt
soon after work began. Being on guard
there alone, he decided to let the men
continue their work until he could learn
who were the leaders and how many of
the prisoners were involved in the at
tempt.
Thursday night he had strong force
of guards on hand when the prisoners
resumed work. Darr learned that the
men had cut through to the last layer
of bricks between them and freedom
and Gordon of armed guards was
stationed outside to await the prisoners
when they broke through.
Drinking Fest Discovered.
Instead of making the break, how
ever, the prisoners apparently Sus-
pended their operations and after wait
ing until l o'clock Friday morning, Darr
and several of the guards entered the
corridor where the men were attempting
to break through and discovered the
drinking party in progress.
I'VE took them by surprise and they
surrendered without even attempting to
put up fight" Darr declared.
The ringleaders in the attempted
break Darr said. were Lesley Adams.
held for trial on a charge of murder;
John Kelly, held for highway robbery.
and Fred Jones. held for the theft of
an automobile. They were to have come
up for trial october 90 and 30. There
are 81 prisoners in the JAIL but only
eight were involved in the attempted
break, according to Darr.

HUSBAND IS BA|LED
ON THREAT CHARGE
Ex-Congressman Counters
by Accusing Wife of Re-
moving Furniture.

Clyde Tavenner, former member of
Congress from Illinois, who was ar
rested yesterday on a warrant obtained
by his estranged wife, Mrs. Isabel Tav-
enner, charging him with threatening
her, declared last night that while he
was arranging bond at the eighth pre-
cinct, Mrs. Tavenner took moving van
to his residence, 1901 Belmont road, and
removed his household goods. Taven-
ner was detained at the station house
more than an hour arranging bond OF
$500.
According to Tavenner, his wife left
him September Is, taking part of the
furniture, and established residence
at 316 B street southeast. Yesterday
morning, accompanied by their two
daughters, he said, she visited him and
asked for the furniture. He refused 20
give it up, he said, as he still cherished
the hope that he might effect recon-
Citation.
Mrs. Tavenner departed, leaving be-
hind the two daughters. A few mo-
ments later Tavenner says he was sur
prised to see policemen of the eighth
precinct demanding admittance to
serve the warrant. Talking to them
from window; he refused to believe
they had a warrant, and was not con-
WINGED until they broke in the door.
Tavenner said he was at loss to
explain what the threats consisted of.
He declared he had not seen Mrs. Tav-
enner for five weeks until yesterday.
Friday he said he called a friend of Mrs.
Tavenner's on the phone, and request
ed her to intercede in an effort to try
to get his wife to come back to him.
Tavenner was a member of Congress
two terms. Prior to that time, and
since, he has been engaged in newspaper
work. The couple have been married
is years and have three children.
Mrs. Tavennet declined to comment
on the case last night.
