SCRUB BULL IS
Hailed TO COURT
Placed on Trial for Hindering
Development and Prosperity
of Dairy Industry.

Indicted for robbery, larceny, and =
few other such charges, Scrub Bull
went on trial for his life at Laurel,
Mississippi. recently. 1t seems that
for some time people had suspicious
that Mr.. Bull was hindering the right
and lawful development of the dairy
industry, thereby smaliciously and
wilfully lowering production and de-
creasing profits in the dairy business"
says the Bulletin of the American
Bankers Association Agricultural
Commission in commenting on the
case.
This, 1t says, WAS the first trial Of
its kind ever held in that section and
was attended by several hundred peo-
pie. The jury. representing every vo-
cation within the boundaries of the
Laurel trade territory, rendered a
unanimous verdict of guilty" The
death sentence was pronounced, "but
during the night, before the sentence
could be carried out, friends of the
convict secretly spirited him away
and he has not been seen since"
The arraignment came during the
Milk Products Show sponsored by the
banks of Laurel. People attending
the show had the opportunity of also
attending the bulls trial and went
away firmly convinced of the serious
ness OF lax and out-of-date methods In
the pursuit of dairying. The pur-
poses of both the Milk Products Show
and the trial were threefold, namely:
to develop public sentiment for more
and better Jerseys; to foster a more
cooperative spirit for dairying and
livestock growing, and to promote tick
eradication.
The banks of Laurel entered into a
cooperative arrangement In their eff
forts for fostering agricultural devel-
opment and successful farming in the
community, offering $2,165 as premi-
ums to the outstanding farm workers
throughout the territory during 1929.
An instructive booklet has been Is
sued, showing the agricultural activity
OF the banks, together with announce
ments Of contests for farmers, exhibits
In the bank Hobbies and prizes offered.

MAIL BOX THEFTS
AID CHECK FORGERS
American Bankers Association in
Nationwide Warning Exposes
Methods and Gives Rules
to Combat Them.

NEW YORK.-Active operations In
many cities of mail box thieves, who
open bank communications to custom
ers, containing details of their ac-
counts and cancelled checks showing
heir banking signatures, and use this
material in perpetrating check for
geries, have led the American Bankers
Association to issue nationwide
warning to its members with instruc-
tons for combating this form Of crime.
The warning as sent out by James e.
Baum in charge of the associations
Protective Department says:
"Heayy losses are being sustained
trough cancelled vouchers and state
ments stolen from the mail boxes Of
bank depositors in apartment and Of
flee buildings, thus divulging the de-
positors' balances and supplying mod
els for forged checks. AS a step
to put customers on guard against
these methods, banks are urged to in
struct every depositor to whom they
mail statements of deposit accounts on
the last business day of each month to
notify them promptly If such state
ment are not received by the close OF
the next day.
"Also banks should educate deposit
tors to safeguard blank checks and
cancelled vouchers as they would
money. Such paper stolen by forgers
soon puts real money in their hands
II all blank checks and cancelled
vouchers were securely kept in safes
instead of fling cabinets or desks, the
check crooks would be denied their
chief stock in trade, namely, genuine
blank checks and signatures. Warn
ings to depositors against leaving
blank or cancelled checks accessible to
sneak thieves or burglars should be
sent out at once.
ESTIMATES broadcast by surety COM
panies indicate that individuals, mer-
chants, hotels and others outside OF
banking are shouldering more than ~
per cent Of the total amount Of for
gerry losses. The bulk Of forgery loss
on checks is sustained by those who
are willing to risk accepting them
without reliable proof of identity or
title of the presenter.
'Years ago the Protective Depart
ment of the American Bankers Asso-
citation adopted the slogan, Strangers
are not always crooks, but crooks are
usually strangers II those outside OF
banking could be prevailed upon to
observe this rule and think about 1t
/ when considering accepting a check
/ for their merchandise or services, fol
! which they are also asked to give
! substantial sum in cash in change, one
! of the biggest aids to the forgery bust
ness would be denied the crooks"

SHEEPMEN FIND
MARKET GROWING
SPONSORS OF RAM SALE AT
COLUMBUS LOOK FOR LONG
PERIOD OF GOOD YEARS

That farmers and ranchers have
reason to be optimistic about the
market for sheep is the conclusion Of
those in charge of the third annual
South Central Montana ram show and
sale which will take place at Column
bus on August 80 and 81. Such con-
illusions are drawn after a study of
government figures showing supplies
of sheep on hand and per capita con-
sumption of mutton and lamb in the
United States.
While there may be temporary
market recessions, the figures indi-
cate that there IS not likely to be in
the next few years a devastating
slump such as has overtaken the in
dustry at certain times in the past
There are not as many sheep on
farms and ranches at the present
time as IN a number of previous years.
It is true that at the beginning of 1929,
with 47,171 900 head, there were more
sheep in the United States than at
the same date in any one previous II
years, vet the number was not as
great as in 1911 and 1909 or even as
far back as 1898, 1885, or 1884. Ii
the latter years U. S. department Of
agriculture figures show that farmers
and ranchers in this country had 3d..
627 900 head of sheep.
Opinion among sheepmen and thost
interested in the meat trade general.
is that the consuming public more an
more is approaching lamb and nut
ton and there is reason to believe tina
such q condition will continue. Il
1925 the per capita consumption o
lamb and mutton in the United States
was So pounds. In 1928 it had in
creased to Sc pounds. Yet in England
in 1928 the. amount consumed per cap
tia was 23.9 pounds and in Australia
it was BAT pounds Such figures in
dictate the possibility for further in
crease in this country.
In addition it is pointed out tina
what is good news for cattlemen ais
is good news for sheepmen. That is
supplies of beef cattle indicate cor
tinued strong prices in the next fey
years. Such a condition always lend
strength to mutton and lamb prices

COURT REJECTS SALE
OF PETER POSEY FARM
Declines to Accept Price Of
$260,745.26 for 273 Acres

ROCKVILLE, Md, September ~
The recent trustees sale Of the farm of
the late Peter Posey, located on the
River road. this county, near the Dis
trict of Columbia, is set aside in an
opinion handed down by Judge Robert
B. Peter in the Circuit Court here.
The property, which consists of 273
acres. was offered for sale at public
auction by five trustees appointed by
the court to make the sale for the pur-
pose of partition, and was knocked
down to Harlowe B. Kirkpatrick for
$3.50, 745:26, or $3.50 an acre. Two of the
trustees, however, announced at the sale
that they would request the court to
refuse to ratify the sale, and before
ratification was considered by Judge
Peter exceptions were filed and were
accompanied by an offer from Charles
c. Koones Of $l,050 an acre for the
tract.
Judge Peter held that as the sale had
not been made by all of the trustees he
was not pledged to ratify 1t, and that
as the owners would suffer a consid-
cradle loss If the sale were ratified and
as the purchaser would lose only good
bargain he would set the sale aside.
