2G YEARS AGO
 Fron. The Empire
NOVEMBER 21. 1915

A new crime, that of Kidnapping,
 was added to the various charges against Edward Krause by a Juneau resident who asked that his name remain undisclosed.
 Conclusively identifying Kr u e from pictures and descriptions as the person who kidnapped his young CT brother in Seattle two years ago, this person told pitiful story of a mothers and brothers efforts to locate a dearly-loved boy who had been persuaded, without their con- sent, into an unlawful apprentice ship on Krauses boat. Absent for all most year, the boy, when he fin- ally returned, told sad story of mistreatment, confinement, and lack of pay for what work he accom- olished. He had finally run away, he said, and worked his way back to Seattle. During his absence, the par ents had searched for him and writ ten many letters, but without Suc- cess; and since the boy never re- ceived the letters. it is considered likely that they also were intercept ed by Krause. After the boys return, the mother complained to the po- lice, and an effort was made to To- cate KrauSe, but lack of sufficient Identification of the man made To- eating him impossible. When it was finally discovered that he was in Alaska, the mother was not in fi- nancial position to bring court pro- ceedings against him.
 The narrator of this story, who said he should never have revealed it had he not been convinced of Krause's guilt of murder, asked that his name be kept silent, but added that, were his testimony desired in the trial, he would cheerfully render it. 4Ns
 Meanwhile, Krause is expected in Juneau by tomorrow or the next day, on the steamer Alameda. The Empire describes him as "assuredly the man of the hour, since every man, woman and child in Juneau who finds walking possible will be on the dock to see his arrival-and this despite the unfortunate weather which, however, is showing promise of abatement" a Weather: Maximum. 22; minis mum.

Yokes for Gossips; Used
to Punish Early Scolds

The most effective punishment
that can be administered to any
wrongdoer, according to criminol-
ogists, Is to give the malefactor q
dose Of his own medicine. At least,
that was the method used during the
Sixteenth century to punish scolds
and gossips. Gossips and scolds
were punished by being yoked to-
gether and made to talk necessarily
until they not only ran out Of some
thing to talk about, but were wind
ed by the war Of words.
The "Scold Yoke" was a part of
the regular equipment of every
medieval Jail. This yoke consisted
Of board which was hinged to
gether in such q way that two wom-
en- could be yoked into 1t at one
time. The head went through one
hole and the hands through others.
In this way they could express their
views Of each other with entire
freedom, but with the assurance
that the opposite party could not
hit back. The Offenders who were
confined in this species Of pillory
often wore themselves out in de-
each other, and some
times would fall down on the
ground together, totally exhausted.

congre.smen "Under Age"

There are FIVE known cases where
representative senator's and
two OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES seated
although slightly under age. Henry
Clay, Of Kentucky, was seated in
the senate In 1906 at the age Of
Twenty-Five years seven months;
Armistead T. Mason, Of Virginia,
In 1915 at the age of twenty-eight
years five months; and John II.
Eaton Of Tennessee, in 1918, at the
age of twenty-eight years four
months. Apparently no question
was raised concerning their eligi-
bility, Of which the senate itself Is
the sole Judge. william G. @. Clair
borne, Of Tennessee, was seated in
the house in 1877 before he had
reached the prescribed age of TWEEN
ty-five, but It seems that no ques-
ton was raised In this case. John
Y. Brown, Of Kentucky, was elected
for the term Of 1659-81, but did not
take his seat in the house until
after his twenty-hfth birthday, al
though he missed one session Of con-
gress by % doing.-Pathfnder Ma1.

Plants Vary in Thirsts,
Water Consumin1 ABILITY

Nature Is very much Of a spend
thrift with water In carrying on her
ordinary agricultural operations. To
produce one pound Of alfalfa hay
$50 pounds Of water are pumped
through the plant. In order to raise
crop Of this commodity the
amount Of water required would
cover the ground to q depth Of 20
inches. In more arid regions up to
30 inches Of water Is required to
allow for the greater loss due to
evaporation from the soil.
Irrigation engineers call the
amount of water, in pounds, re-
quired to raise q pound Of mar
ketable crop, the Transportation ra.
ton. This Is the amount Of water
which the plants take from the
ground through their roots and pass
through the stem Of the plant to
the leaves, where it is evaporated.
Plants vary in their water require
ments. Engineers Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have found that
In areas where 20 inches of water
are required to grow a five-ton crop
OF alfalfa to the acre, 1t takes II
inches for corn or beets, 16 inches
for potatoes and 8 inches for white
beans. Plants vary in their thirsts,
or in their water consuming capac-
ity, very much in the fashion of
human beings. In human beings
the physiological drys and vets are
determined by one of the factors
Of the pituitary gland.

In letter to all house members,
Representatives Lewis and Herfin-
dahl Of Benson, Mark Nolan of
Gilbert and Leonard Erickson Of
Fergus Falls, announced the re-
opening Wednesday Of progressive
legislative headquarters here and
appealed again for support.
The three charged in their letter
that many nominal liberals who
attended the acknowledgements
sive caucus a month ago are dis
satisfied with organization meth
DDS employed and committee as
signments being made. The eau
Gus of the anti-Farmer-Labor group
was attended by rs members-elect,
ten more than majority.
Although the three men who
signed the letter and Harold H.
Barker of Elbow Lake, choice of
the progressive caucus for speaker,
could not be reached for comment,
it was learned that the group
claims several members-elect who
attended the opposition caucus
have swung to their side.
At the same time, it was said that
Hjalmar Peterson, lieutenant-gov-
ernor-elect, has been making a tour
through the state to swing organ
ization of the senate from the con-

furnish highly valuable data OF in
terest to the entire population.
The agricultural census was es-
tablished in the early days Of the
Republic. In 1910 farm statistics
were procured for the first time in
connection with the population
census. The need for farm figures
was Immediately recognized by va
rious agricultural societies and
dealers In the principal commodi-
ties. and the agricultural census
became a permanent institution.
From 1910 until 1880 it was taken
every 10 years. However, the rapid
strides made by agriculture caused
the United States department Of
agriculture, state department Of
agriculture. farm organizations and
agricultural interests generally to
realize that an inventory was nee
essary every five years. According
ly, the first mid-decennial enumer-
alton was made in 1925 and the
forthcoming enumeration was pro-
vided for in the fifteenth decennial
census act, approved June Is, 1929.
The hearty cooperation Of farm

the success Of the agricultural CEN
