LADS WITH BANK’S
ROLL VISIT DAWSON
FUGITIVES FROM FLORIDA HAD
STOLEN $10,000; FLASHED
BILLS PROMISCUOUSLY.
DAWSON, Ga.—Two young men,
one of them a mere boy, who breezed
into Dawson attracted considerable
attention by many extravagant pur¬
chases here with greenbacks of $100
denomination in payment therefor. As
Dawson citizens are not so flush with
this sort of legal tender suspicion was
aroused.
The young visitors were in a talka¬
tive mood, and said they had just been
left a large estate by the death of
their parents. In their rounds while
here they met a number of young
ladies, and were so much attracted by
one of them that they promised to
write as they proceeded on their way
to Texas.
They had not counted on the long
reaching arm of the radio, however,
Mr. C; A. Deubler, who is a wireless
enthusiast, while listening in caught
a message from Miami stating that
two young men had absconded from
that city with a $10,000 roll of money
which they were to have delivered to
a Miami bank. A description of them
was given and radio listeners were
asked to be on the lookout for the
absconding youths. Mr. Deubler, in a
conversation with Mr. Duke Marshall,
from whom the festive Floridians
bought some accessories for their car,
referred to the message broadcast
over the radio! and Mr. Marshall was
convinced that his (customers were
the ones wanted at Miami. He com
municated with the authorities in that
city, with the result that a detective
from Pinkerton’s agency came to
Dawson and among others interviewed
the young lady to whom the boys had
•already written. As the letter was of
a personal nature she refused to let
the detective have it, but let the post¬
mark be seen. The detective also had
photographs of the absconders, and
Mr, Marshall recognized them as pic¬
tures of the young men who patron¬
ized him.
The Miami owners of tlje “roll”
stated they were trying to apprehend
the thieves before they spent the mon
ey, but at the rate it flowed in Daw¬
son it will require speedy action.
The boys evidently were novices at
the game, and made no effort to cover
their tracks.

MAKING THE RAIN GO FURTHER.
-
Under this timely caption, Mr. Ro
bert M. Salter, of the Ohio State Uni¬
versity, says: “Most’ of the difficul¬
ties in getting crops through a dry
season do not come through actual
lack of rainfall during the growing
period, but rather to its improper dis¬
tribution and the inablility of the soil
to carry over sufficient water from
periods of excess supply to periods of
deficiency. Increasing a soil’s
tent of organic matter is the best
means of improving its water retain¬
ing capacity.”
Because of this, no considerable dif¬
ference is observed in average years
between the yields of lands enriched
by manure and those that have had
adequate applications of commercial
fertilizer; but in a very dry season
an abundance of humus is seen to
have increased the ability of the soil
to hold water. This was strikingly
shown in otherwise similar fields of
barley in a dry year, the yield on ma¬
nured field being thirty-four bushels
and that on the fertilized field being
only twenty bushels.
The farmer who works plenty of
manure into the soil and sows the
combination of twenty-five pounds of
vetch and three pecks of oats or rye
to the acre, and turns under all the
vegetation that he cannot more pro¬
fitably use for feeding, is thereby not
only fertilizing his land and provid¬
ing feed of high value for his stock,
but also investing in the best form of
moisture insurance and “making the
rain go further.”

Crime In New York
Goes On Unabated
NEW' YORK.—Justice proceeded
yesterday to handle a heavy criminal
calendar while crime in New York
showed little indication of abatement
The chief move of justice yesterday
was to round up in court, members of
the gang headed by Frank “Cowboy”
Tessler, upon whom has been placed
the blame for a series of recent de¬
predations.
Meanwhile, below the criminal dead¬
line” in lower Manhattan, two youth¬
ful bandits held up, bound and gagged
four men and a woman and escaped
with two wallets containing diamonds,
the total value of which was placed at
nearly $50,000.
Secret service men yesterday un¬
covered what they believed to be a
powerful counterfiting ring with the
arrest of Peter Benati and Joseph
LaPinto and the confiscation of a suit¬
case filled with bogus $20 bills and two
bags filled with bad nickels, dimes,
quarters and half dolars.
Seven men with pistols yesterday
overpowered the watchman at a chem¬
ical plant in Brooklyn and stole forty
seven barrels of grain alcohol; using
a five-ton truck to take away their
haul. In another part of Brooklyn
theives backed a truck to the entrance
to a haberdashery, cut a hole through
a hallway wall and carried away $2,-
500 worth of merchandise.
Before Judge Allen in general ses¬
sion “Cowboy'’ Tessler pleaded not
foods, but because they do not fur
enough variety—these people
down with the disease known as
pellagra. It is then spring time, and
there is much talk of “needing ton¬
ics.” The tonic is taken, but about
tne same time green vegetables begin
to appear in the garden and these
are added to the diet. The wonder¬
ful “effects of the tonic” are noted,
and it may be another quack doctor
receives tho reward which should go
to nature.
Had the diet of these people been
less restricted during the winter, had
considerable amounts of milk and
leafy vegetables been eaten as well as
corn meal, salt pork, and molasses, a
good deal of the difficulty would have
been prevented.
Milk and the leafy vegetables (cab¬
bage, lettuce, spinach and other
greens) are protective and preven¬
tive foods. They are particularly
rich in minerals, and in a more or
less unknown but necessary factor
called “Fai Soluble A,” the protein of
milk added to the protein of any seed
like corn, oats, rice, wheat makes the
protein of these seed more valuable.
Constipation is a condition which
we ean treat by what we eat instead
of by medicine. The prescription is
in general “fruits and vegetables,”
both because of their bulk and proba¬
bly also because of the mineral salts
which they contain. Graham and
bran breads are used for the same
purpose.
What we eat can act both as a pre¬
ventive and a cure in many cases. If
we follow the Chinese example of pay¬
ing the doctor to keep us well, and
ceasing to Jay him when we become
ill, we will be inclined to look with
favor upon the doctrine which
the door before the horse is stolen.
Keeping these things in mind,
should be easy to be both healthy and
thrifty.
guilty of robbery and was held with¬
out bail after a court was informed
that he faced a murder charge also.
Two members of his gang, Fred and
Arthur Leslie, brothers, pleaded guil¬
ty of robbbery. Fred was remanded
for sentence and Arthur was sent to
the tombs prison to await indictment.
Charged with possessing one of the
silencers with which the gang was
equipped, Eugene Raising, an East
Hartford, Conn., inventor, appeared
before the court and was held in $50,
000 bail. ,
Harry Steinberg, a jeweler, who is
alleged to have acted as “fence” for
the gang and who faces three indict¬
ments, Peter Stroh, allegd “go-be
tween” and Murray Markuie, alleged
informer, were each held in $50,000
bail.
Wall of House Filled
With Honey by Bees
EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo.—Mrs.
Ella Dagley, four miles north of here,
has been living in the “sweetest” lit¬
tle home in the world. Mrs. Dagley
long noticed bees flying in and out
through holes in the weather board¬
ing of her house and defcided to in¬
vestigate. With the help of neigh¬
bors a strip was taken off the house
and honey was exposed. Other boards
were removed and the entire space
between the ceiling and outer wall
was found filled. More than 200
pounds of a fine grade of honey were
taken out.
Wealthy Miamian Pays
Sixty-six Thousand for
Plantation In
CAIRO, Ga.—A. J. Gannon, multi¬
millionaire, Miami real estate ope¬
rator, has acquired the Ingleside Plan¬
tation of 1,100 acres,' three miles

nouncement made here today.

gia has the best farm lands in the
United States. Real estate
