developing the right school spirit, to
say nothing of showing lack of APP
probation for what is being done for
their own development. I do not be-
lieve the boys would have done such
a thing, as two-thirds of the boys
choral club did in their spring con-
cert if their parents had been en-
couraging them in the course, and
had been present at the concert to
hear them sing.
For my part, cannot understand
how any soul who does not have
some love of music, can be happy in
heaven. One way that we can en-
courage our children in their music
is TO attend their performances
whether we really enjoy the programs
or not, and any person who does not
enjoy hearing a group of children
sing is mystery to me.

20 Years Ago Today-Last elements
of the 32nd Division arrived overseas.
This division was composed of Ma
tional Guardsmen from Michigan and
Wisconsin, plus drafted men.
Reorganization of the AEF was
completed, in preparation for it's first
independent campaign. It was decid-
ed to divide it into army corps con-
sisting of six divisions, each on the
basis of the three-line method of
trench warfare evolved in France
Three corps were to comprise field
army. In addition to the six infan-
try divisions, each corps commander
was to have under him about 10000
men known as corps troops, compris
ing artillery units engineers and SER
vice battalions for work on the COM
munications lines.
That same day, negotiations were
completed between u. S. and Spain
whereby Gen. Pershing was enabled
to obtain mules, blankets and other
supplies in Spain, in exchange for
cotton, oil and other commodities
sent to Spain from the U. S.
In Washington, the War Council
was strengthened by the addition of
Mai Gen. George w. Goethals 0build-
err of the Panama Canal. Edward
r. Stettinius (steel magnate). and
Gen. Peyton C. March, the Chief of
Staff, and it's first step was to take
Congress into it's confidence by in
viting members of the Senate Mill
tary Committee and the House Milf
tary Committee to attend secret ses-
sions of the Council.

eral Department of Agriculture.
He pointed out that unde rthe pre-
sent system of marketing hogs the
buyers class the pork as soft" and
"oily," paying much less for the "oily
than for soft" and much less for
that than for hard pork.
"Frequently the difference between
a profit and a loss for the hog rais-
err is the difference in price between
soft and oily pork, Scott said.
He said that the INSCRIPTIONS buy
er or butcher has virtually a price
fixing privilege" because he reserves
the right to retain part of the
price contracted to pay the producer
until he decides what classification
the pork falls into, when a fraction
of the retained money is paid over
to the producer.
under the present system the
butcher is allowed to retain $3.50 per
hundred pounds of pork sold in order
that he may make adjustments on the
basis of soft and oily pork which are
SO classed by his own employees. Soft
pork is usually classified at Is cents
per 100 pounds less than hard pork
and oily pork is penalized $3.50 per
100 pounds" he said.
Our market division has reported
that many growers have been pen
allied as much as II per cent on the
basis of soft-and-oily system and in
many instances large-scale operators
report period reductions of more
than five per cent of the legitimate
value of hard pork at current prices"
Employment of government inspec
tors would eliminate these abuses al
most entirely"

OTHERS VIEWS
PARENTS, WAKE UP!

To the Editor:
Through all the years that 1 have
lived in Henderson including the
years that 1 attended Henderson high
school, I have been ashamed to have
to tell "out-siders" that we had no
music of any kind taught in our
schools, except few songs to be
sung at commencement.
In my humble estimation, no per-
son can really be educated without
knowing something about music; any
more than he can be educated with
out knowing something about his
tory, art, or many other subjects. Do
we not wish our boys and girls to be
we'll rounded, learning something of

Knox stuck to his story last night
under a searching ton
by Commonwealth Attorney Lawrence
Douglas of Arlington County. He re-
peated again and again that he and
Scheid shot in self defense, and denied
that they pursued the Washington

had offered three witnesses who said
the officers were driving a car with

Il am certain the statement was

number Of other papers were pre-
sented to me for my signature" Mr..

lieving it to be one Of several oficial

was directing the r. B. l.. articles
advertised rs being taken from the
secret files Of the r. B. l., articles for
which Mr.. Hoover was highly paid,

valuable to the Nation At large in
exposing bad criminal conditions and
which brought about better public
cooperation.
However. II Mr.. Hoover now pro-
poses to hold me firmly to . statement

siren and pulling in front. He said
the police car stopped 20 feet or 80 in
front Of Mr. Daugherty's sedan.
As the officers walked into the
headlight beam Of the car behind
them, Scheid said, Mr.. Daugherty
backed IS or 20 feet and then started
directly for them.
A moment later, Scheid said, he
realized that Mr.. Daughertys car had
come to a halt after passing through
fence and hedge and hitting q stump
What did you do them" Mr.. Ball
asked.
Reloaded Pistol.
Scheid said he unloaded the five
empty shells and reloaded because he
knew there was q man in the car who
had tried to run over him. He was
asked how rapidly he shot as the car
was passing him and replied, Bang,
bang, bang. Just like that"
Scheid denied that he knew Daugh-
erty or Daugherty's wife. He declared
that he had no intention of harming
the motorist and would never have
shot at the tires If the man hadn't
tried to run over him.
Scheid denied the testimony of a
police officer that he admitted he shot
Mr.. Daugherty and was afraid he
would 60 to the electric chair.
Were you frightened and nervous
after this shooting?" scheid was asked.
He replied that he was badly scared
and his nerves were pretty well
broken up"
Are you entirely cured of policing
and done with police work forever?"
Mr.. Ball asked.
Yes" Scheid replied, as he un-
buckled the Sam Browne belt and
slipped out OF the blue police blouse
On cross-examination by Common
wealth Attorney Lawrence Douglas,
Scheid was asked if he could point out
any discrepancies between his memory
of what happened on the night of the
shooting and the story related from
the witness stand by Knox. He replied
in the negative.
Both Scheid and Knox testified at
length about their activities in hunting
for an automobile thief near the Scheid
home and the home of Mr.. Daugherty,s
father-in-law early on the morning of
the shooting.
scheid lives diagonally across the
street from Mr.. and Mrs. Charles G.
Frazier, father and mother -in-law of
the slain man.
Previously Harry Frazier had testi-
fed that Scheid came to the Frazier
home sometime after midnight on the
morning Of March 20 and he heard
Mr.. Daugherty order him from the
premises. Scheid insisted that this in
cident had no connection with his later
pursuit Of Mr.. Daugherty's speeding
automobile.
Scheid told the jury he had been on
the force only about q year and that
for two years prior to that time he
was clerk in drug store. The de-
fendant said he was engaged to be
married and denied the testimony Of
prosecution witness that hs I'D
