12 ALLEGED NIGHT
RIDERS ARE JAILED
Wholesale Arrests Made at
Stuttgart as Result of Re
cent Nightrider Outbreaks
Stuttgart, Apr. 18.—Sheriff
E. B. Lafargue and his depu
ties last night made the second
raid in the night rider cases,
and at 4 o’clock this morning
came in with five men, making
a total of nine men jailed here
last night. Theree more were
brought in this afternoon.
The lrst arrest of the last
night raid was made about 11
o’clock when the officers ar
rested Sam Dunlap at his home
in Stuttgart.
The prisner was hurried to
the city jail withut being per
mit-tori t<i with nnv
one, and the officers proceed
ed to the home of E B. Holt,
about three miles west of town
where a dance was being giv
en, and three men were arrest
ed and brought to town.
After this was completed,
the officers arrested five other
alleged night riders, making a
total of 12 men now in jail at
Stuttgart charged with night
riding.
Negroes ordered to Leave
The original trouble that
caused the night riders to get
busy started about two months
ago, when the negr wood cut
ters, who were employed on
mud island, about 12 miles
suth of Stuttgart, were warn
ed to leave the county and dis
continue their work. Many
of he negroes fled from the
country, and about two weeks
later one negro that had re
turned was murdered and his
body cremated in a cabin that
was burned.
Sheriff Lafargue was called
to the scene at that time and
picked up all clews he could.
His office has since continued
the investigation.
Two weeks ago three men
were arrested charged with
being implicated in the night
rider raids and were given a
preliminary trial here in Jus
tice Johnson’s court, and were
bound over, and being unable
t make bond they were taken
to the county jail in DeVVitt.
In cnversation with one of
the sheriff's deputies it was
learned that the men arrested
are a portion of a band regu
larly organized and that suf
ficient evidence is in the hands
f the officers to insure a con
viction, of at elast a part of
the men now being held, and
that they also have evidence
against others.
It is rumored freely here to
day that several who are prom
inent citizens of the communi
ty have suddenly found that
they were needed elsewhere,
and the rumors state that they
have left on account of the
the depredations committed.

NEW WEATHER SERVICE
Washington, I). C., Apr. 20.
—A new weekly weather fore
cast designed especially to aid
farmers in planning their farm
operations and shippers of
perishable prduets to handle
their goods with reference to
expected weather conditions
was inaugurated by the United
; States Weather Bureau today
and will be continued during
the crop season. In order to
heave these weekly forecasts
reach the farmers and ship
pers in small towns with least
!possibly delay, the bureau has
I arranged a system whereby
the forecast will be furished
I to the local weekly news
papers, especially in the corn,
(wheat and cotton districts, in
time each week for the most
of them to use the information
in their editions. In this way
it is believed that the forecast
for the week commencing
Wednesday morning will be in
the hands of most of the farm
ers and shippers in the small
towns, through the medium of
the weekly newspapers, giving
them the benefit of from 6 to
i days of advance forecast.
The forecasts will be pre
pared at Washington on Tues
day morning and will cover
| me ween commencing Wed
nesday. They will be tele
graphed to the state distribut
ing center of the weather Bu
reau where they will be im
mediately put in the mails to
reach the weekly newspapers
in the territory of each station
early Wednesday, or in time
for insertion by the vast ma
jority of them.

GOOD PREPARATION
ALWAYS PAYS WELL
Page Says No Matter How
Late, Put Lard in Good
Shape Before Planting.
One of the most important
steps in the making of a crop
is in preparing a seedbed. No
crop can possibly give the best
returns without that precau
tion and we should not expect
the elements of plant food in
jthe soil to become available
| when the soil is not put in
good tillable condition before
planting. The soil requires at
tention to insure the best re
sults. The elements of plant
food which feed the crop will
respond if the sun, air, rainfall
and ther elements are permit
ted to thoroughly penetrate
and act upon the soil.
We readily admit that all

fall or early in the winter; we
shuld therefore believe that
much good is to be gotten in
breaking the land in the
spring if we do not have time
to break it in the fall. Land
should be broken before plant
ing and we are neglecting the
first step toward success if we
d not break the land. All of
us have been familiar with
with the practice of burning
stalks, grass and weeds on the
field, then streaking off the
land, bedding on the little fur
row, and throwing out the
middle, all in order to save
! breaking. Sometimes it would
[appear that there was not suf
ficient time to break land be
j fore- planting.
It does not matter how late
the season is or may be, or
how crowded work may be,
or how little time there is left
before the regular planting
time, there is always time
enugh to properly prepare the
land for a crop. If the crop is
worth our time nd attention it
is wroth our best efforts. If
not we had best plant another
crop. And whe we do take
time to break the land and
properly prepare it, we will
find a way to use the stalks
and grass in the field to sup
ply organic matter to our hun
gry soils. Our soils must have
their organic matter. If it is
not put into the soil in the way
of stalks and winter cover
crops, we will in time be com
pelled to rest the land entirely
for a year or two while we
may grow and turn under
clover, peas, etc.
We should therefore turn
all the vegetable matter under
that is available and we will
! have to break the land in or
der to get the rubbish and
j stalks out of the way. At this
time of course it is necessary
that the stalks be cut so they
will not tear out the young
[plants before they have com
pletely rotted. If you do not
own a stalk cutter, borrow
one.

There is so much by-products and rotten grains worked

to investigate them before buying. As a test, wash a hand
ful of the mixed feed that the retail merchant offers you.
Make your dealer come clean with you, and demand a hand
ful of the goods washed out this will show up the ingredi
ents. ARAB FEED is put up by the M. c, Peters Mill Co.
of Omaha, Neb., and contains extra heavy No. 2 chopped
oats, No. 2 chopped corn, the best and greenest alfalfa
grown, a small quantity of salt, and tightened with beet
sugar molases. The per ventage of grain is sometimes two
times the amount put into cheap feeds.

There is just as vast a difference in ARAB and chap
