ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXV YOUNG MAIL THtEf HAD INSIDE FACTS ABOUT MAIL POUCH This Is Indicated by Fact That Pouch Taken by a Thief at Kewannee, 111., Was Only One of Value. WORKEDFAST AND WITHOUT HELPERS Robber Took Pouch Just as It Was Being Put Into Truck, and He Selected Bag From Several Others Kewanee. 111., Aug. 14.—OF)—Step ping np to a mail truck just after it had received a pouch'of registered mail from a Chicago train, a youthful robber yeaterdny compelled the driver to give him the pouch and convey him to a waiting automobile in which he escaped.

Seth Jackson, the driver, wbb ready to drive off when the youth pressed a pistol to his side and directed him to drive three blocks west of the sta tion. Carefully selecting the registered pouch the thief tossed it into the auto mobile and hurriedly drove away. His direction was eastward toward Peoria. ADVISES PLANTING OF TURNIPS IN SOFTH Will Be Aid to Dairymen and live stock Growers, Says Extension Spe cialist. West- Raleigh, Aug. 14—CPI—la a ufrther attempt to aid dairymen and livestock growers in eecurtng ade quate feed for their animals this fall despite the effects of the prolonged drouth which has cut the hay yields in western and Piedmont North Caro lina, John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at State College, advises the planting of turnips. ‘The hay crop is short only in North Carolina but over the entire country,” says Mr. Arey. “and prices for hay this fall will be high. The corn crop in Piedmont and western North Carolina seems to be a prac tical failure. Therefore, there will be a shortage of silage. There is no better dairy feed than turnips. They are relished by cows and when fed at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds per day, they will reduce the hay needed without affecting the milk flow.” Mr. Arey recommends the Cow Horn and Pommeran White Globe as the best, high yielding varieties to plant. If these are sown soon, he says, they will make a yield of from six to eight tons especially if the land is well prepared and is fertile. •Turnips sbouid be harvested be fore frost,” Mr. Arey said, “and stored in the cellar or hilled in bank like sweet potatoes. They should be cut into small pieces with a spade before feeding, to prevent the cows from choking on the whole root, and .gbould be fed right after milk ing, to prevent any flavor that might be imparted to the milk.” Cyclonic Wlnft Does Some Damage In Gaston County.

Stone, in his death struggles, tore himself free from the cords which bound him to the bed. staggered out of the room in which he had been sleeping and tottered to the veranda. Horrified negroes in the vicinity of the Stone home saw the dying man fall from the veranda and roll down the hill upon the summit of which the house sits.

One of the biggest jobs for the street department was the removal of the big tree which fell across Franklin Avenue. The tree stood on the north side of the street and it fell in such away that its top crashed against the porch of the home of G. S. Klutti. Fortunately, only the top of the tree, where the limbs were smallest, struck the porch and little damage was done to the house. Mrs. J. A.

Now York, Aug. 14.—Elbert H. Gary, who has taken the lead in the organization of a national crime com mission which will endeavor to stem the wave of crime which has been sweeping over the United States, is one of the big men of the country. From the day when the United States Steel Corporation was organized, at the time the largest corporation in the world, Mr. Gary has been the real head. Charles M. Schwab and William E. Corey were, it is true, the presidents of the corporation, but, as chairman of the finance committee and of the board of directors, Mr. GaT.v has been the real power. In the world business Mr. Gary is known chiefly a« a financier—one qf Urn greatest financiers in < Before he became a financier,' hdbrew er, he was a lawyer—a great lawyer, i His early education was received at a college near his native town in Illi- i nois. His mind was fixed on the i practice of law. and after finishing his J college course he entered the law de- . partment of the University of Chica go. At the age, of twenty-one he was i admitted to the bar of the Illinois Su preme court and a few years later was privileged to practice before the Su- ■ preme Court of the United States. He early devoted himself to the practice of corporation law. He be came counsel for several large rail road and other corporations centering in Chicago. Among his clients were two large steel companies and in his work for them he became closely asso ciated with the men who were build ing up the steel business. In the ear ly ’9o’s he took a leading part in the organization of the Amereicnn Steel and Wire Company and the Federal Steel Company. His industrial interests gradually came overshadow his law practice, and he finally decided to abandon his profession and remove from Chicago to New York. After coming to this city he acted as president of the Federal Steel Company until its ab sorption into the United States Steel Corporation. He was chosen by the late J. P. Morgan to head the board of directors of the new corporation and at the age of 80 years he remains the dominant figure. Judge Gary is declared to be one of rhe most unassuming “big men" in the country today. He is never too engrossed in his tremendous affairs to overlook even the humblest ac quaintance on the street, and he is ever capable of maintaining his quiet, graceful dignity on all occasions. He likes quiet diversion, and noth ing affords him greater pleasure than to curl himself up in an easy chair with a good book. He is a fancier of fine live stock, and his love for flowers and other beautiful things of nature is most pronounced. He loves the green fields, the forests and streams, and it is said that he would rather go without his dinner than miss seeing a beautiful sunset. Horseback riding and golf are his favorite outdoor recreations. : Judge Gary has had the unusual honor of having a made-to-order city named for him while he is still in the prime of his powers. And Gary. In diana, is no tiny hamlet but one of , the most important industrial cities in the United States. Two decades ago its site was given over to the ducks and foxes; today it is one of the most imposing manufacturing cit ies in the Middle West. The sand dunes that had been there since time immemorial have been scooped out by great steam shovels nnd over their re mains have risen some of the most gi gantic steel and iron mills in th» world. Some yean* ago mascots became all the rage with football clubs in Eng land.

GIBSON MAY NOT HAVE ANY MORE BASEBALL Officials Have Not Decided Whether or Not to Rebuild Grandstand.— Tabernacle Game Cancelled. Weepings and lamentations! Tears and sighing! We may not have any I more baseball in Concord this year, ! and all because n great big wind came i along and blew the grandstands at ■ Gibson Mill down flat on the ground, ■ therby summarily ending a perfectly ■ good season which was just at its ' height. I Os course, this Ims not been defi- nitely decided and it is barely possi ble that the stands may be rebuilt and the fences may be repaired. But, since fall is coming on apace, and, since the collegiate members of the team will have to return to their alma maters anon, it looks as though there will be little baseball food for fans to digest in the future. The Tabernacle game has been can celled. This was done Thursday. Hundreds of fans who were all set to go out and watch Simmons, the world’s best pitcher, do his stuff, will be disappointed at such an announce ment. Everything had looked bright and cheery for another Gibson victory before a record crowd with much shouting aud hurrahing, when—blnm comes the wind, aud—blooey goes the grandstand. Whatever the outcome of the pres ent uncertain conditions, it will be agreed that Gibson did have a good team and that the entire city enjoyed the games. Further, if Gibson decides to have a team next year, there will i be one united shout of joy. Persons who have not viewed the i scene at Gibson Park should, by all means, jump into their Ford and i motor thither.
