ED OLIVER AGAIN TO THE FORE

ers strapped to their hips, and guns and clubs were very much in evidence in dispossessing Mr. Grimma. The latter, who bore several marks of the fray, was in town Monday and affidavits were prepared to take Oliver and his bunch of Chicago employes into custody as soon as they can be apprehended, it being understood that they returned to Chicago Saturday evening. If Oliver had any legal grounds for ousting Mr. Grimm he should have secured court action here, Grimm’s attorney says, and officers —if they were such—had no business coming down to Indiana from Chicago, in another state, to enforce orders of a civil court. But it is not believed that any legal action was taken anywhere; that Oliver simply hired thdfe alleged officers to do whatever he asked them to do, and that he had no respect for the law in so doing. Up to yesterday noon no affidavits had been filed in the circuit court, but it was understood they had been prepared and would be filed soon. Later —Seven 'state cases were filed against Oliver et al yesterday afternoon. No. 1718 is against Heiman J. Kuppers, charging assault and battery on the person of Robert Grimm. No. 1719 is'also against Kupp?r charging the same offense on the person of Mary Grimm, wife of Robert.

No. 1720 is against Edtvard Cavendish, charging assault and battery. No. 1721 is against Oliver, Kupper and Cavendish, and charges grand larceny, in feldnously stealing, taking and carrying away of the property and* chattels of Robert and Mary Elizabeth Grimm of the value of S2OO. No. 1722 is against Kupper and charges petit larceny, in the taking of one set of doubletrees of the value of $5. . No. 1 723 is against Oliver, Kupper and Cavendish, and Charges conspiracy in agreeing with each other to break open and enter the house of affiant, striking and beating him, etc. No. 172 4 is against the same three parties and charges malicious trespass, in entering home of affiant and tearing up carpet and linoleum, etc., damaging same to amount of $75.

It is said that a considerable number of Chicago people have been induced to buy muck land about Newland again the past season and will move down here to be disillusionized. One man, who alleges that he and his family gave up jobs bringing them in S3OO per month, bought a small tract of Oliver at $250 per acre and moved, down here recently via auto truck. Oliver had adroitly managed it, he alleges, so that he did not 'ee the “house” on this land or, in fact, the particular ground, and when he got down to Newland he tried to hire the truck man to take his goods bkck to Chicago, but without avail. Then, he alleges, he stored his goods in a leaky shed at the Oliver home place and the thins of last week utterly ruined a piano and most of his furniture, so much so that he stated he was going to pile the goods out in the road in front of the Oliver place and burn them, then go back to Chicago and see if anything could be done with Oliver for getting him down here. i You can still buy a good'-rub-ber-tipped lead pencil for a nickel in The Democrat’s fancy stationery and office supply department.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

PETITIONERS HELD FOR COSTS

(Continued from Page One)

turned down, as anyone with horse sense must know, as all these roads, cannot be many of them should not beouilt —at least for years to come —at county expense, as they benefit but one or two men. A farmer was telling us Saturday that he" was going to sign every road petition presented to him, but he didn’t think many of the roads could be built under the rounty unit law. One of the half-dozen petitions he had already signed benefited but two men, he said, but he had made up his mind to treat ’em all alike and sign every one presented to him. He did not know nor stop to think that those who sign a petition are liable for the costs, and when informed that they were he took a different notion and will hardly sign any more petitions until he sees how he comes out on those already signed. Jasper county needs some trunk line roads, and it was such roads, no doubt, that were intended to be built under the county unit law, but with the scones of petitions coming in, many for the sole benefit of one or two people, it will plauily be seen that very few if any of these roads can be built. We certainly do not want to fexhaust our financial ability in 'this direction —and we cannot go beyond the 2 % limit —to build roads that are seldom used or that are of no general benefit. A halt should be called at once on all these roads of minor importance and go after the main roads. There is a whole lot of expense* already made on numerous petitions that will have to be paid by people who have signed these petitions without giving the matter any thought.

NOTICE SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNTY COUNCIL Notice is hereby given that the county council of Jasper county, Indiana, will meet in special session TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1919, at 1 o’clock p. m., in the commissioners’. court room, to consider additional appropriations for 1919 and such other matters that may legallycome before them.

TIME TO FEED YOUNG CHICKS Mashes Mixed With Milk Are of Considerable Value in Giving Youngsters Good Start. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Young chicks may be fed any time after they are thirty-six to forty-eight hours old whether they are with a hen or In a brooder. Some good feeds for the first feeding are moistened hardboiled eggs, johnnycake, stale bread, oatmeal or rolled oats, which may be fed separately or in combination. Mashes mixed with milk are of considerable value In giving the chicks a good start. The mixture should he fed in a crumbly mash and not In a sloppy condition. Johnnycake composed of the following Ingredients In the proportion named is a very good feed for young chicks: One dozen Infertile eggs or one pound of sifted beef scraps to ten pounds of cornmeal; add enough milk to make a pasty rn:v<h and one tablespoonful of baking soda and bake until done. Dry bread crumbs may be mixed with hard-boiled eggs, making about one-fourth of the mixture eggs, or rolled oats may be used in place of bread crumbs. It Is a good plan to give these feeds about five times dally for the first week, then gradually substitute for one or two of the£e feeds a mixture of finely cracked grains of equal parts by weight of cracked wheat and finely cracked corn and pinhead oatmeal or hulled oats, to which about 5 per cent of cracked peas or broken rice and 2 per cefit of charcoal or millet or rape seed may be added. A -commercial chick feed may be substituted if desired. This ration may be fed until the chicks are two weeks old, when they should be placed on grain and a dry or wet mash mixture. Young chickens should be fed from three to five times <dally, but if care Is given not to overfeed chicks will grow faster when fed five times per day. Young chicks should be fed not more than barely enough to satisfy 'their appetites and to keep them ex-.

erclsing except at the evening or last meat, when they should be given all they will eat. There is danger in overfeeding, particularly If the young chicks are confined and do not have access to free range, as too much feed under such conditions is apt to cause leg weakness.

GRIT NECESSARY FOR FOWLS

Hopper Feeding Saves Labor and Furnishes Desirable Supplementary Feed for Hens. Ground feeds are necessary for most efficient digestion in poultry. Hopper feeding saves labor and furnishes the necessary supplementary feed at all times. There is no danger of poultry overeating on ground feeds fed dry in a hopper. The University of Missouri college of agriculture Is recommending the hopper as a labor saver in the poultry yard. Limestone grit or oyster shell Is also necessary for laying hens. A laying hen requires large quantities of shellrtiaking material. Nearly all of this must come from the grit and shell she eats. It is poor economy not to keep a liberal supply accessible. One extra egg a year will pay the bill. It returns the money invested a hundred fold. Chickens raised on range can be produced tnuch more economically than those kept closely confined around the farm buildings. Not only is less feed required, but the danger from disease is reduced. The edge of the cornfield makes an Ideal poultry range. Chickens grow best on plowed ground and the corn furnishes shade, which is essential during the summer. Under such conditions, a pound of chicken can be produced from three to four pounds of grain.

POULTRY NOTES

Skim milk is good for tSe chickens. * * \* Pumpkin is-of value in the Cold weather poultry ration. ♦ * * Wheat, oats and corn are good grains to feed the laying hen. * * * Ducks are among the most profitable of all domesticated fowls. Parent turkeys should be full grown and mature. If the' gobbler is lated to the. hens, get a new one.

SHOULD WITHDRAW PETITION'S

(Continued from Page One)

built wholly by the county and net to the so-called state »oads —those -rd out by the state highway commission and built Jointly by the county, state and federal government. * For the latter roads no petition whatever is necessary, as the matter is wholly in the hands of the state ‘highway commission. Of course we can ask the state highway commission to consider the advantages of our proposed route and can send a delegation down to Indianapolis to present our claims,, but -no petition is necessary nor does the unatter come before the county commissioners at all. Hence, Mr. Wood was very much wrong in his understanding of the matter and the petition filed here under misapprehension should be withdrawn before any action is taken by the commissioners. The commissioners rule on the public utility of roads petitioned for under the county unit law, and we all know that Jasper county alone cannot build this road at its own expense—at least It should not do so —and it does not appear to The Democrat that it would look well to ask tiffe state highway commiS; sion to lay out a road through Jasper county that ouy own county commissioners had gone on record in saying is "not of 'public utility.’ The muddle in the matter in the case of township roads was such that—the attorney-general—who has about as much legal ability as the ordinary backwoods Justice of the peace—was called upon .for an interpretation of the law, and when his first opinion did not clear up the situation at all he was asked for a second interpretation which Would be in line with the desires of the governor. He then reversed his former opinion, and would no doubt reverse himself again if the governor requested it. Of course, the Republican will get from S2O to S3O publication fee out of every county unit petition filed, and the more the merrier. It doesn’t care a rap whether the roads are ever built at all, Just so it gets its fee. But The Democrat tfants to see some state roads built in Jasper county, and it does not think it the proper thing to exhaust all our means in building county unit roads, at the expense of the people of the entire county, that are seldom used and benefit but two or three people.

No better job work produced in this section of Indiana than that turned out by The Democrat.
