GOLF CALLED HOMEWRECKER
BY HUMORIST ii. /. PHILLIPS

"Companionate Golf" says H. I.
Phillips. humorist, "is a menace to
matrimonial bliss" One golfer to a
family is enough, he adds in an ar
article in The American Magazine.
"a man makes a mistake when he
goes in for golf with his own wife, "
Phillips continues.
"Off a golf course Mrs. Phillips is
tolerant, patient, philosophical, and
good-natured. Time and again have
seen her face great crises with a
smile. But when she tops her drive
misses her mashie shot, or takes
seven puts, you'd be surprised. She
goes all to pieces. I have seen her
so broken up and distressed after
playing three bad holes that l have
collapsed in sympathy.
"The same is true Of me 1 am a
fairly good-natured man at home
and not easily upset or troubled. My
eggs can be burned without causing
riot; l can receive the sad news
on a zero morning that the furnace
fire is out and not threaten to muir
der anybody and I can go out to the
garage and find the car stolen with
out staging Mysteries. But when my
old slice comes back, or take ele-
ven strokes in a sandtrap, or my
balls plops into the lake on the short
water hole, nobody would think me
the same person"

and hence requires a soil that will
allow it to extend its root system
several feet below the surface. The
most favorable soil is deep loan,
perfectly sandy in nature. Good
drainage is essential because alfal-
ia will not thrive in soils where
water stands for a few days. Again,
it needs a fertile soil, and there is
little use trying to grow alfalfa on
soils that will not produce good
crops of corn, cowpeas, soybeans or
clover. Before attempting to grow
this crop have your soil in a high
state of fertility.
One of the reasons why quite
few of our farmers have not been
successful with alfalfa is because of
the seed bed. The young plant is
one of the weakest among farm
crops, grows slowly and is easily
checked or killed by weeds or un-
favorable conditions of soil, weather
or treatment. The seed bed is
therefore of prime Importance and
care must be taken to give this
tender plant the best home possible.
The soil should be thoroughly pre-

YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD SEED
BED OR YOU WILL NOT GROW
GOOD CROP OF ALFALFA

Alfalfa is a promising farm crop
for the farmers in Sussex County.
A QUESTIONABLE sent out to many
farmers a few years ago brought
the information that alfalfa was
being grown in almost every sec
tion in the county. This crop has
been tried in almost every hundred,
and while the failures outnumber
the successes, interest in alfalfa is
steadily increasing. This is no
doubt due to the increased interest
in dairying which naturally brings
about the problem of more and bet
ter feeds. Alfalfa will meet this de-
mand because of it's high feeding
quality and it's ability to produce a
large amount of feed on a relative
ly small area.
Alfalfa is adapted to a wide
range of soils, providing the sub
soil is porous and well supplied
with lime. 1t is deep rooted plant

Prepares to Open Lake
County Probe Saturday.
LIQUOR GRAFT CHARGED
High Officials Likely to Be
Mentioned Before Federal
Grand Jury.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Aug. 81
Investigation of what authorities
term the third largest liquor graft
conspiracy in the history of north
ern Indiana will open here Saturday
when United States District Attor-
ney Oliver M. LOOMS begins a jury
investigation of conditions in Lake
county.
This investigation, which started
as probe of alleged frauds in the
elections last fall on the part OF the
majority Republican faction has ex-
extended until it, involves not only
many public Offices, but several i'm
portant United States governmental
positions.
For the second time since he
started the investigation, LOOMS
says he has learned that murder
was within the range of prices paid
by the Calumet liquor machine to
check opposition.
According to a deposition that
will be placed before the grand jury,
Urosh Maravitch, East Chicago, was
taken for a ride" ending in death
for attempting to avenge frame
up" of his brother Nicholas and set
himself up as a big-tilne bootlegger.
The deposition also states that sew
eral officials of Lake county were
parties to the "frameup' of Nicho-
las on Mann act charges and helped
to cover up important facts in the
murder of Uresh.
Fred Braman, member of the
Capone rum gang of Chicago, was
tried for the murder of Uresh in
Lake circuit court and was &C
quilted.
In view of the fact that Braman
was held for the murder, that Nick
Sudavich, a Capone lieutenant, is
now under $25, 900 bonds on charges
of liquor law violation, and that
three of Capone's enemies were shot
to death in Hammond, May 9, 1929,
it is assumed that if the investiga-
ton ever is brought to a real con-
clusion 1t will center on the person
of Al Capone, now serving prison
term in Pennsylvania for carrying
a pistol.
The Lake county conspiracy in
wolves several members of Senator
James e. Watson'S strong political
machine, including mayor, chief
of police, and several prohibition
agents. Members of WatSonS ma
chine have a habit Of appearing at

ern Indiana. Such was the case In
the Michigan City probe and in the
Ft. Wayne case.
The Michigan City investigation
ended in failure. Several were con-
victed in the FIT. Wayne case.

tor Arthur r. Robinson. Previous to
his appointment he was Senator

MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, CLEVE-
LAND, o., Aug. 27.-At last Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh has found his
much-sought solitude, and found it
in the last place it could be eX-
pected-the 1929 national air races
here.
All eyes were focused on the fly
ing colonel and his bride, Anne
Morrow Lindbergh. on their arrival
at the airport Monday afternoon,
but after the first curiosity glanceS,
attention Wavered and then turned
back to the pageant being unfolded
overhead and on the ground.
Lindbergh and his petite wife
walked about the field, mingling
with the 10000 spectators recognized,
but unmolested by the usual crowd
of hangers-on.
The spectacle yesterday was in the
air and on the field and both the
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh seemed
to enjoy their moments away from
the adulations OF the crowd. They
were welcomed on their arrival by
officials of the races and invited to
occupy box.
Most of the afternoon was spent
at army headquarters, where he
greeted several old friends and in
Spected the latest types of planes
and equipment. Lindbergh, con-
senting to one of his rare inter
views, declared his belief in the flu
ture of 1ighter-than-air craft.
81 think we should develop
lighter than-air craft as far as
possible" he said. THE airship is
the logical aircraft for long distance
and ocean flying. 1 should like to
see q. dirigible line established to
operate on schedule so that some
idea as to costs, reliability and
regularity might be determined.
ct is impossible to foretell what
the future holds in the way Of large
planes carrying many passengers.
One thing is certain, the next three
years will see even greater develops
ment than the last three"
He said he did not care to say
what effect the women's derby,
which finished here yesterday, will
have on aviation. He also did not
know whether women had a resi-
place in aviation"

ACTION TAKEN
FOR PAROLE
OF TRAUGOTT
QuaShing of Indictments in
Auto Theft Ring Case
Is Sought.
PLEA SOON TO COME UP
District Attorney Files Re-
quest With u. S. Legal
Chief.

Quashing of additional indict-
ments against Edward Traugott, In
dianapolis merchant, and Louis VIII
kerson, VincenneS Qnd) advertising
man, convicted in federal interstate
auto theft ring trials, was asked to-
day by George Jeffrey, district at
torney, in a letter to Attorney-Gen-
eral William Mitchell.
Quashing of indictments would
permit favorable consideration of
the parole plea of Traugott, which
is to be presented in September to
the parole board of the federal road
camp, Anderson, w. Va, where Trau-
gott is confined.
Wilkerson was, found guilty on a
conspiracy count and is out on bond,
pending appeal. His conviction car
ried a sentence of one year and a
day in the federal prison at Lea-
venworth and 5000 fine.
Two Cases Pending
If the indictments are quaShed,
the door will be closed on the in
terstate motor theft conspiracy in
which thirteen defendants were
found guilty and were given seE1-
fences.
Two cases are pending, one that OF
Joe G. Hunter, alleged Indian
apolis bootlegger, and the other that
of Roy huntington, brother OF jos
seph M. huntington, former Khan
leader. serving a penitentiary sem
tence in connection with the con-
spiracy.
Both Roy huntington and Hunter
are fugitiyes.
Quashing of the indictments also
automatically would concel the de-
tainer warrants issued against
Traugott and Bertram Iibowitz, an
other defendant, who were wanted
by Albert Ward, former district at
torney. in connection with the other
indictment against Wilkerson and
another against Hunter.
Charged With Theft
Wilkerson and Traugott we're
nemed in an Indictment charging
theft OF a Lincoln sedan in Cleve-
land. Both pleaded not guilty. The
same sedan figured in the conspir-
acy trial, which resulted in Wilker-
sons conviction.
Wash, as special assistant for the
motor theft cases. issued the de-
tainer warrant against Traugott IN
May.
Continuance of the detainer
would mean that, upon Traugott's
parole, if granted, he would be
brought back to Indianapolis for
another trial.
Libowitz, whose brother, Harold
Libowitz. died as q, result of burns
suffered when Traugott'S store, 2l5
West Washington street. was blown
Up Aug. Is. 1928, was charged with
selling a stolen car TO Joe Hunter.
Thirteen Convicted
The auto theft ring investigation
followed and thirteen business men,
attorneys and Ku-Klllx Klan leaders
we're indicted, tried and convicted.
Traugott, who was accused of be-
ing one of the ringleaders, received
a sentence of two years in the fed
eral penitentiary and $4,000 fine.
Most of those convicted have been
paroled.
