LS SERVE AS HOME
ONE PRISONER HAS HAD ON
LY 33 MONTHS OF FREE
poM IN 25 YEARS.
with only 33 months of freedom to
v credit in the last 25 years, and even
his CIERS g s
those months spent as'a fugitive from,
iustice, Otto Cole, burglar, “con” man,
1,1 cunner and murderer, has just
peen sent to prison for the balance of
eell 5 i
pis life by a court in Omaha, Neb.
Cole is 42 years éld now. He became
;; criminal when 17 years old.
“Crookedness doesn’t pay,” Cole told
the Omaha court when he was sent up
L life. Cole has seen the inside of
“I.m\ jails and penitentiaries. He has
”fr\;.@ time in Minnesota, Maryland,
Ohio. Tllinois and_elsewhere. ‘He: es
;,”,,\.(i from the Baltimore city jail,
};‘unl the Joliet penitentiary, and from
other prisons. :
From One Jail to Another.
He has been paroled, pardo:_ied and
released for “good behavior,” in addi
tion to serving out his sentences. But
he never kept out of trouble, and no
oner was he released from a prison
than he immediately went back into
crime.
(r(]'l(,tik- has appeared before so many
different courts that he has picked up
quite & smattering of legal terms and
methods. When arrested in Omaha
and charged with the murder of Harry
Hahn, a pawnbroker, he refused the
assistance of the public defender and
asked permission of the court to con
duct his own defense. |
Cole was just 17 years old “(hen l}e
broke into the crimdnal limelight in
Columbus, 0., where, under the name
of Richard Proctor, he was sent to
prison _for burglary. He was geleqsed
Tune 28, 1898, and it took him just
cight days to get in trouble again.
Kept Away From Baltimore.
On July 6, 1898, he was arrested in
Paltimore—caught, red-handed, while
committing a burglary. A month later,
beiore he could be tried, he escaped
from the Baltimore city jail and says
he has never seen that city since that
day.
This time Cole stayed out of trouble
for two months. At least, he was not
arrested again until Oct. 8, 1898. Then,
in Chicago, he was sentenced to Joliet
prison for burglary. He was paroled
carly in March, 1903, and in ten days
was arrested in Red Wing, Minn., and
booked for burglary. Life for Cole
from then on until his arrest in Oma
ha was one burglary and holdup after
another, police say.

FERTILIZER HELPS TO BEAT THE BOLL WEEVIL
~ “If you are going to fight the boll
‘wegvil for the cotton crop have a crop
worth fighting for.”
In certain sections where the use of
commercial fertilizer is necessary to
produce a full crop many farmers are
disposed to figure that if they poison
they cannot afford the additional cost
of fertilizer. But, say the boll weevil
specialists, “if you are going to poison
you can’t afford not to fertilize.” “If
you fertilize, you can’t afford not to
poison.” One is an insurance policy ‘to
iprotect the other. At least, that is the
igovernment view of the matter, based
on ‘years of experimentation by spe
cialists of the department of agricul
ture at the Delta Laboratory, Tallu
lah, La., and observations covering the
entire cotton belt.
' “There is a tendency,” says B. R.
Coad, director of the laboratory, “to
expect’ the impossible of poisoning
with calcium arsenate. Now, calcium
arsenate dust is the one thing, as far
as anybody knows, that will control
the boll weevil, but that is all it does.
It will not produce any more cotton
than the ground would produce if
there were no boll weevils. A great
many farmers, however, get the idea
if they must bear the expense of poi
soning they can not afford to buy fer
tilizer. Others get the idea that if they
buy fertilizer they can’t afford the ex
pense of poisoning. Both classes of
farmers throw money away. Highly
fertilized ground will, of course, grow
more cotton sometimes than the wee
vils can destroy. If it is exceptionally
good ground it may grow so much
that the owner does not notice the
CALCIUM ARSENATE
CAR COMING HERE
WILL BE AT DAWSON ON MAY
24TH, AND SUPPLY FARM
ERS OF THIS COUNTY.
The Georgia board of entomology
has arranged with the Central of
Georgia railroad to operate a car
through the points named below, on
dates mentioned, to furnish calcium
arsenate to the farmers at actual cost,
which is 9 cents per pound f. o. b.
your county seat. It is to be sold at
the car door for cash, in packages
containing 25, 50, 100 and 200 pounds:
Griffin, Wednesday, May 17th.
Barnesville, Thursday, May 18th.
Forsyth, Friday, May 19th.
Fort Valley, Saturday, May 20th.
Montezuma, Monday, May 22nd.
Smithville, Tuesday, May 23rd.
Dawson, Wednesday, May 24th,
Cuthbert, Thursday, May 25th.
Coleman, Friday, May 26th.
Ft. Gaines, Saturday, May 27th.
Albany, Monday, May 29th.
Arlington, Tuesday, May 30th.
Blakely, Wednesday, May 31st.
The state board of entomology has
found by actual experiment that cot
ton can be grown successfully by this
method and it is furnishing calcium
arsenate on an average of nearly 100
per cent less than it could be purchas
ed for last year.
This is an unusual opportunity for
every farmer in the county to get this
vear's supply of calcium arsenate at
the reasonable price of 9 cents per
pound, delivered at his county seat.

boll weevil injury and probably thinks
he is making a full crop. The manage
ment of one of the biggest plantations
in the delta—which means one of the
biggest in the world—thought just
that until we persuaded them to try
poisoning as a check. They use calcium
arsenate over the entire plantation
now, and it has increased the yields a
great deal.
“But all-the increase in cotton that
can be got by poisoning on poor land
does not pay the cost of the operation.
Liberal use of fertilizer and good cul
tivation are essential to real success
with poisoning on that kind of land.
Otherwise, you are flikely to save a
crop from the weevil that is not worth
saving. If the farmers of the cotton
belt will realize that fact, poisoning
will save next season several times
more money than it ever has saved
before. : .
“We are, off course, tremendously in
terested in seeing the cotton growers
realize hard dollars on calcium arsen
ate poisoning. Some of us have spent
the best years of our lives in making
it possible for them to do that, and
,we naturally do not like to see the
jopportunity thrown away for the lack
lof enough fertilizer to make a crop.
{lt is equally painful to us to see well
tfertilized land producing poor crops
for lack of poisoning. The two things
go together. The more you fertilize
the more you can afford to poison. And
the more you poison the more you can
afford to fertilize.”
' The Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La.,
i will furnish specific information along
lthis line to farmers who write for it.
RECONSTRUCTS BODY
FROM A SKELETON
DEAD GIRL THEN IDENTIFIED
AS PERSON MISSING FROM
HOME NEAR BUFFALO.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—From the
skeleton of a young girl which had
lain mear the summit of Cheesecock
mountain, near Haverstraw, N. Y.,
nearly a year, when it was found by
a boy mountain ciimber two weeks
ago, Grant Williams, Patchogue, L.
1., expert in identifications, recon
structed the face and upper half of the
body of Lillian White before he knew
it was she.
Two sisters of the girl and Dr.
Charles S. Little, superintendent of the
Letchworth valley home for feeble
minded, in Rockland county, N. Y.,
instantly identified the reconstructed
face as that of Lillian, who ran away
from the institution more than a year
ago. And Lillian was but one of near
ly a half dozen girls who have escaped
from the home in the last two years.
The two sisters, both married and
living in Brooklyn, declared the work
of plaster, putty, glass eyes and paint
Williams had made from the frag
ments of the crushed skul!, the wisp
of hair and the teeth found on the
mountain top was a marvelous image
of their sister. Comparison with a
photograph showed remarkable resem
blance in contours and even in expres
sion.
Rockland county authorities, assist
ed by the New York police and pri
vate detectives, whose aid was enlist
ed by women interested in the Letch
worth home, began hunting following
the identification for a man who lived
until about the time the skeleton was
discovered in a cave 200 feet below
the summit of the mountain. Ne
charge has been made against the her
mit, but it is now believed the girl
visited him, possibly lived with him a
tme after the disappearance,

WOMEN SAY MAN’S
AGE DOESN'T COUNT
“ITS THE IRRESISTIBLE WO-|
MAN, PLUS MOTHER INSTINCT
AND MOTHER NATURE.” .
Throughout the ages wise gray
beards, callow youths, learned psychol
ogists, pink tea drinkers and more lat
terly that species of human kind
known as the “lounge lizard,” have
been preaching platitudes and deliver
ing opinions on the query:
“At what age isa woman most dan
gerous?”
Now, make way for Lady Angela
Forbes, famous English writer and
prober’Xfter the vagaries of man, who
demands to know:
“At what age is a man most dan
gerous?” :
Some prominent persons have very
decided views on this subject, but all|
agree in eliminating the ' “flipper” (the
masculine of flapper) or umbrella cov
er suited youth of today who sings a
tattered tenor to the more strident
tune of his. sister “flapper.””
“It's Not Their Age at AIL”
One well-known woman who has
had opportunity to know men well
says she does not think thdt there is
any age at which men are more dan-|
gerous than at others.
“From the stories told me by the
girls who come under my observation
I should judge that men are fatally
fascinating from the time they utter
their first ‘coo’ until they gasp their
last breath.”
A prominent member of the Wo
man’s Club took a few minutes of herl
time to comment on the frivolous
question of man’s most fascinating
age.
“I don’t think a man’s age has a
thing to do with his attractiveness,”
she said. “It is the qualities he pos
sesses that make him what he is. A
very ycung man can be just as fas
cinating as a more mature one. Some
people may say that it is the mother
instinct that attracts a woman to a
young man, but while I consider that
this great mother love is a part of all
women you will find that they can
‘mother’ an older man the same as a
young one.”
A girl was found who believed like
Lady Angela, that the most attractive
age of man is between 30 and 40.
“There :is no doubt in my mind that
a man is more fascinating when he is’
a man of the world than when he is|
qult a boy,” said this little dark eyedl
girl.
But we are told confidently that!
she had a “very particular’reason” for |
this opinion.
It remained fer a young man to ex
plain why the English peeress picked |
the man between 30 and 40 as thej
most alluring.
The Lure of the Chase. I
“You see, it'ssthis way,” he said|
with a twinkle in his eye. “In the]|
early years of a man’s life he is veryt
easy prey for the fair huntress, and if’
he is a desirable match he is courted
by mothers as well as daughters. Now,‘
if he manages to escape, by the time!
he has reached 30 he is ‘gun shy,’ and,\
as we all know, it is always the un
obtainable that ‘s the most attractive.” |
