Mobbists AY W. McFADDEN, pio- neer Kansas farmer and vice: president of the First State bank of Staf- ford, Kan., was kidnaped by a mob the night of November 6, when the hoodlums forec- ed their way into the Stafford opera house and attempted to break up. a Nonpartisan league meeting being ad- dressed;by O. E. Wood. - Mr. McFadden was presiding as chairman of the meeting. Believing that Mr. McFadden was the speaker, the mob swept across the stage, seized him and rushed him out of the build- ing, placing him in an automobile be- tween two armed men. “If you holler, we’ll blow your damned head off,” the men told - Mr. McFadden. After traveling about six niiles, the farmer was taken out of the automo- I Now Hear Clearly” t You, Too, Can Hear N as 1’»25,(00‘!1)“l users of the . the same sat- t a penny of ex- and entirely at our risk, to accept 1919 Acousticon For 10 Days’ FREE TRIAL men, while two others drove back to town.

Dopl.64 NDRAWN poultry, con- §| trary to the general im- pression, keeps better in cold storage and. while passing through trade channels than does drawn poultry, say the specialists who have made extensive studies of the handling of poultry from the time it is killed to the time it reaches the consumer. Careful pbservations of a large number of shipments of both drawn and undrawn poultry, made under commercial conditions, showed that the undrawn poultry reached the con- sumer with fewer bacteria and with less chemical change in composition than the drawn poultry. : ) The shipments were accompanied by the scientists from the time the poul- try was killed, while en route on trains, and until placed in the cold storage warehouse, and after being | taken out of cold storage were follow- ed. while being handled by the whole- salers, commission men and the retail dealers. - Recording thermometers ac- companied the shipments through their entire course and the varying temper- DA XY bile and placed under guard of two - Mr. Wood finished his address, be- , Kansas Leaguer Kidnaped Miss Attempt to Capture and Lynch League Lecturer—Authorities Fail to Act they found they had been unable to - seize. Mr. Wood. As this is written Kansas author- ities had taken no action against the leaders of the mob. The local peace authorities at Stafford were not at home or in their offices when Leaguers tried to reach them the night of the outrage and demand protection. “SHORTS” MISBRANDED Seizures of shipments of stock feeds on the charge of adulteration and misbranding, because of the sale of reground. bran and screenings as shorts, have been made upon the rec- ommendation of officials of the bureau of chemistry, United States depart- ment of agriculture, who are.charged ~with the enforcement of the food and drugs act. The feed known to the trade as “shorts” contains more nutritive ma- terial than ground bran and screen- ings, and sells in the market for a considerably higher price. The sale of ground bran and screenings as shorts, in the opinion of the officials, is not only a fraud upon the purchas- er, but is demoralizing to the feed industry. Hbnest feed manufacturers who cor- rectly label their feeds are placed at a disadvantage in competing with manufacturers and dealers who put out cheaper products under the names. of higher-priced ones. " The shipment into interstate com- merce of ground bran and screenings, labeled as shorts, constitutes both adulteration and misbranding wunder the terms of the federal food and drugs act. BACKSTOP FOR WINTER WIND Often in riding across the prairie one sees a home with nothing to break the winter wind in its onward sweep. Even the wild animals and the birds do not consider such a place a home. A few rows of trees on the north and the ‘west will make a world of differ- ence. Willows make one of the best windbreaks and they can be started fron - cuttings. A double row 10 to' 12 rods from the buildings, with a few rows of elm, ash and box elder- and some evergreens makes an ideal tree planting. . The willows, however, make a good start and the cost of planting these is small. ; : Cold Storage Poultry Studied Department of Agriculture Finds Undrawn Poultry Keeps Better Than the Drawn atures to which the shipments were subjected were recorded. The explanation appears to be that the drawing of poultry as practiced commercially results in greater con- tamination. = Bacteria . which cause spoilage appear to have more chance to enter the flesh and multiply. It would appear that only under condi- tions similar to those followed by surgeons, wonld drawing of poultry in- tended for cold storage be advisable.
