FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
TWO MEN DIE IN
AUTOMOBILE WRECK

Two men were burned to death
when their automobile struck a pole
and burst into flames along high
way near Denton early last Saturday
morning. Their companion escaped
with minor injuries. The dead are:
Ora C. Bowdle, 63 of Washington, D.
c., James Willoughby, Jr., %, of near
Hobbs.
Russell Messick, 81, of near Hick-
man, the third passenger, was thrown
clear of the burning wreckage and es-
capped with bruises about the head
and shock.
The accident happened about $3.50
a. M, on the Hickman-Denton high
way. Willoughby, the driver, was
trapped in the burning wreckage and
was burned beyond recognition. Bow
die was thrown clear of the catapult-
ing car but was pinned under fen
der when the wrecked car turned
over. The burning wreckage was dis
covered by Allison Covey, Fl, of Pres
ton, and Miss Helen Maloney, 10, of
Hickman, who were returning from
a dance.
Messick, his clothes aflame,, was
leaning into the car trying to pull
Willoughby's body out when Convey
drove up. The two beat out the flames
covering Messick's clothes and then
sped into Hickman for help, after ex-
Treating Willoughby's body. Bowd-
les body was removed from beneath
the wreckage but the man already was
dead.
Coroner James A. Wise, of Denton,
called to the scene, ordered an inves-
tigation. Willoughby, as far as au-
thorities have been able to ascertain
was driving his automobile towards
Hickman when he lost control. The
machine struck pole and turned over.
Messick, seated in the front, went
through the windshield, authorities
believe. Bowdle, in the rear, also was
thrown clear. Willoughby was trap
ped in the twisted and broken steel
of the car.
Covey told authorities that Mes
sick, dazed from the shock, was lean
ing head first into the flaming car
when he drove up. He had managed
to swing Willoughby's feet towards
the door and was Juggling at the mans
body as flames ragged through the
car.
Bowdle, a native of Denton, where
he conducted meat store for years,
made his home in Washington, D. c.;
about three years ago. Recently he
had been employed at Burrsville. Sew
eral years ago he had clerked in the
meat and grocery story of the former
Miss Grace John Dyer, of Ridgely.
Willoughby lived on a farm with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Willoughby,
ST., near Hobbs. He was one of a
large family of children.

THOUSANDS LOST

Thousands of dollars lost annually
by Maryland stock raisers can be
changed into net profit by substi-
tuition of distillers' dried rye grains
for some of the corn which consti-
tutes regular part of fodder for
steers, and by adoption of the prac-
tice of sending hogs into the feed lot
with the steers. These facts are in

cluded which began at the Experiment
Station Of the University of Maryland
in December and which was financed
in part, by the Association of Mary

"The experiment had two outstand-
ing results" said Professor Fred H.
Leinbach of the Department of Ami
NAL Husbandry, who directed the tests
ut showed that many farmers in the
State are devoting time and energy
to the growing of steers which they
ultimately sell, although without rea-
lizing it, at a net loss. It showed,
too,- that the use of distillers' dried
rye grains in place of part of the
corn ration greatly reduces this loss,
but that profit results only when
hogs are introduced into the feed lot
to recover unassimilated grains.
eve used ten steers in each of four
groups in the feeding experiment.

group, received the fodder usually

BALDWIN ASKED
 ROOSEVELT AID

Hartford, Conn, April 11-(UP)- Gov. Baldwin today telegraphed President Roosevelt asking his sup port of legislation for deficiency appropriation to finance unemploy- ment compensation during May and June to avert "a national calamity" :"
 "It has been called to my atten- tion," the governor wired, "that there is at present available for administration of state unemploy- ment compensation agencies only sufficient funds to carry them through April 30, 1889.
 Beyond that date it appears that no moneys will be available until June 30, 1889, to administer unem- ployment compensation laws and employment service agencies in the 48 states and three territories. The failure of these agencies to carry on their functions during the months of May and June should constitute a national calamity"
 The deficiency appropriation amounts to $11, 100000, Gov. Baldwin said.
