EXPOSE FRAUDS ATTRIBUTED TO ROBERTS' LIEN

INDIANAPOLIS. March 26. Jos Jefers, rpobebly th last important witness in the prosecution of the Torre Haute election fraud cases before Judge Anderson in federal court here, was called to the stand shortly after noon today in the government's attempt to connect Donn Roberta and others with the strong-arm methods during and preceding last November's Flection. Interest in Jeff era' testimony was intense and the spectators leaned forward to hear every word. Further evidence of false registration and crooked voting was brought out by Jeffers' brother, Ed Merritt, Kobert Jenkins and County Clerk Joyce, who told of Roberts' attempt to get a bogus prohibition ticket in the field. Joe Jeffers gave his occupation as patrolman, but admitted he owned boats on the river, .was. river police man,, made balloon ascensions and farmed. He said Roberts appointed him special police at 190 a month, but the records show his salary . at $75. He said he had worked with Roberts in politics for several years. Roberts, he said, had told him to take instructions from Chief Holler. "Who appointed the Taylorville board?" asked District Attorney Dailey. "I did," said Jeffers. He was precinct committeeman. He said he was called to police headquarters before registration day and was sent to City Controller Talbott's and got the phoney registration applications that had been apportioned to Taylorville. These-, he took 16 Taylorville and put in an empty beer box. . "Did you talk to Roberts about the Taylorville board?" asked Daley. "Yes, he said he didn't want any fools on that board that 1 couldn't handle. Later he said he didn't want any one on the board he could not buy."

Prosperity Signs

FOREIGN CROP OUTLOOK Foreign crop promise is generally a little better in the United Kingdom the weather is favorable, permitting fair progress in sowing. In France the outlook for winter crops la satisfactory, and the prospects for the spring crops are good. In Germany there is n scarcity of snow covering, and latest advices report severe frost damage. ACTIVITY IN STEEL The United States Steel Corporation has secured orders for 5,000 tons of steel rails for the Greek government and 12,000 tons for shipment to the far east.

Furthermore, according to the Iron Age. this country will ship to the orient 15,000 tons, principally plates, booked for Japan, in the Chicago diBtrict; 110.000 boxes of tin Bites for China, Japan and India; ,000 tons of barbed wire closed by one Great Western company and 10,000 tons by another. PLANTS NEAR CAPACITY The United States Steel Corporation mills at Gary are today working at from 80 to 85 per cent capacity. Six of eight of the huge blast furnaces are working full time. Fifteen hundred men have been added to the payrolls ince February 1, making a total of 6,200 men now employed in turning out orders which It will take months to fill.

Dairy Farm Produces Immediate Returns

It li the rule that the moat prosper oua agricultural sections la the middle and eastern itatet are the dairy faming sections. No other product of the noil pays on the average as well a butter and cheese, and no other product brings in the steady cash Income every month in the year as milk. Farming Dairy farming and cattle feeding today is almost the only profitable line of business left to the farmer In nearly every part of the country. Parma Return Profits. In the country In which the writer lived in former years, whole communities of ' rich dairy farmers can be pointed to who. ten or twelve years ago, not only did not, but could not own a herd of cows; and the greatest things that grew on their farms were mortgages. Prosperity In the communities to which I refer was brought about by dairy farming. ' Second Butter and cheese is a condensed produc. Nothing can be made or grown on, the farm which brings as much per pound. The dairy farm er can condense tons of fodder and crops grown on the farm into dairy and meat products and send them , to market In compact and portable form, Third Butter and chese are a finished product. They are made ready for the consumer either in the private dairy or local factory. Much that is produced upon the farm is raw material, and must be manufactured or otherwise prepared for use after leaving the farm. Fourth Dairy farming brings In a constant income. The man who sells crops of any kind has to wait until he can market his product, once a year. There Is little satisfaction in this. It Is unbusinesslike to go without cash fifty-one weeks and then have money come in once a year. The dairy farmer has an Income nearly fifty-two weeks in the year. ' " Bring Immediate Return. Fifth Dairy farming gives constant remunerative employment. The grain or potato grower must spend a large part of the year In enforced or demoralizing idleness, but the dairy farmer finds profitable work throughout the year, and his work is most profitable In the winter time. Sixth On the dairy farm the work is better divided. The grain harvest Comes so close to haying time that It often gets mixed up with it to the detriment of both; but where corn is grown and put into thj silo for dairy feed and not so much or no. grain raised, the harvests are several weeks apart. Then, in the winter dairy farming there is a let-up on the fram, while the dairy needs the most work when other farm work is lightest. Seventh Skill and brain work get better pay in dairy farming than any other branch of farming. Milk from tested cows and sanitary cans and barns is worth more money to the producer; then why not clean up and get In line, before the state Inspector compels you to. as the law of the state requires you to be sanitary. It 1b inhuman to sell anything that is not pure and clean. Purity and cleanliness are the first law of God. To produce fine dairy products requires something besides bard work. The dairy farmer must have knowledge and skill and exercise great care. These are required In breeding and feeding dairy cows, and in handling dairy products. And the care bestowed, and the skill exercised' get pay in cash as they do in no other branch of farming. Lots of Room at Top. Eighth There is more room at the top, greater opportunity to improve than in any other work. Cows produce from 300 to 700 pounds of butter per year, and butter sells from twenty-five to forty-five cents per pound. No other branch of agriculture shows anything like this, or gives such a chance to rise. Ninth Take the country through, taere lb no kind of farming work so well suited to women as dairy farming. Tenth Dairy farming leads to thoughtfulness for the comfort of ahl mala and thus tends to morality. There Is something demoralizing about horses. Men who work in horse stables, are rough, as a rule, but cows have an opposite influence. To do her best the cow must be made as comfortable as possible In every way. She will tolerate no , neglect or cruelty. She is a teacher of gentleness and kindness. Eleventh Dairy farming is the most progressive branch of farming. Think of the changes for the better that the last five years have brought. Dairy Pays Well. Twelfth Dairy farming pays better than any other branch of farming, both actually and prospectively. Dairy farm products are as high in most markets or a little higher, than they have been for several years. There is no business which holds out more in-

ducements to young people than dairy famine It la adapted to a -wider area or country than any agricultural pursuit Noxious Infects and fungus diseases oause less injury to crass, clover and corn than another farm crop, and there are the" greatest dairy foods. The future to the skilled dairy farmer is full of promise and hope. The dairy farmer has money ahead, Is out of debt lives better and easier, buys more goods; pays as he goes, and his farm Is constantly increasing in value. " He will have good barns, good roads, and land well ditched, good silos, and good dairy cows with a good factory to sell his milk at the best cash price the market affords. He can always have a good bank account besides. . Prosperity for the farmer means prosperity to the merchant and the mechanics Is not every farm worth more? Will it not sell for. more? Or rent for more? And the buyers or renters be more sure to make . their payments when they can get the highest price fr their dairy products? , A dairy brings Cash, every month, supplying the farmer with ready money for his immediate wants, keeping him on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, teaching him the true road to independence and affluence, and besides the ready money he has produced his own fertilizer, the best for his land, and is growing rich in a two-fold way. The average quality of butter and cheese has wonderfully Improved, and the demand is for the best, and this demand is unlimited and largely unsupplied. . .. . , , The fact Is right here in a nut shell, that any . farmer who takes up the growing of Alfalfa, dairy farming and young Cattle for a business and follows it Intelligently, using the best tools and Implements for his work will have a profitable and continuing business so long as he may follow tt.

MEMBERS OF UNIONS HAVE STEADY WORK

Ninety per cent of the union men of the city, except "season men," carpenters, plasterers and bricklayers, are employed regularly, according to the Labor Herald which comments on the last meeting Of the board of county commissioners. v The labor men seem satisfied with a plan of purchasing the auto truck and running it at a designated time from Richmond to the place of .'work on the rbads, and thus give the unemployed Opportunity to work If they are willing. the comment also says: Central Labor Council realizing that there were a great many men out of employment in the city at the present time, thought that it was not right that the prisoners be given this work to the discrimination of dependable men who are out of work and who have families

to support, but If no men show up for

work it is their own fault. The com

missioners and Labor Council has done

their part to help relieve the situation, and must not be blamed.
