Walter Thomas and Victor S. Hun- < ter received sentences of seven to ten ? years because Judge Oglesby hehl J them responsible for not turning in i the balance of the robbery's proceeds. Carl E. Bailey, trusted bank guard i for a number of years, who admitted enginoering the "hold-up" was let off with three to five years, while the ( fourth ^j^ember of the group, Richard McManus was given on? to two years. , Bailey, it was established, had never handled the money after it was taken from the bank's steel-clad < truck, and today, by way of reparation for his part in the loss of the $.1,176, he offered to give a mortgage on his home and automobile. Judg^ Oglcsby declined the offer but announced he gave it consideration in fixing the punishment. McManus was also said never to have handled any of the stolen money and the other three were quoted as saying he had joined them in the enterprise only after a great deal of persuasion. Testimony was introduced that Thomas and Hunter had taken the money and hidden it. Thomas, Hunter and McManus are all from Union coujjty. Acting on the belief that business will soon return to normal the Hudson Motor Car company in Detroit, Mich., Tuesday reinstated 1,000 men in employment in addition to 1,500 rehired the first of last week and announced that another 1,000 would be called in one week from today. "The business depression has been caused chiefly by fear," William J. McAneeny, president of the company, stated. "We are re-employing 3,500 men because we feel that the employment curve turns upward, much of the depression will be removed. KERSHAW WOMAN FREED. Say They Shot Wasps, Not to Warn Bootleggers. - Cofumfiia, November 13.-??)eclaring that the shot federal prohibition officers say warned bootleggers was fired to blow away a wasp's nest at their home, two white women* of Kershaw county were acquitted by a jury in federal court in Columbia Thursday, Two of three men arrested in connection with operations at the. still also were released by the jury.

It is realized ah*> that where ,4Aok jack oaks and other trees are ut down they usually sprout out and ?use a great deal of trouble and binder the growth of valuable grasses and legumes. Such worthless trees can easily be killed 8o that they will never sprout i Main by poisoning with the following I poison: "A compound preparer! with either sal-soda or caustic soda and white arsenic is used for killing trees or sprouting stumps. The formula and directions for preparing this compound have been furnished by the office otf farm management and furm economics of the United States department of agriculture and are given below: lo one gallon of water (some have Prepared this solution with two gallons of water instead of one, with good results) add one pound of white arsenic and bring the mixture to the boiling point. Then add two pounds of sal soda and boil until the mixture becomes clear, which will be in -5 or 40 minutes. In case caustic sodu is used instead of sal soda, use only one pound for each pound of white arsenic. To prepare the compound with caustic soda, buy the granulated form which C#n "be obtained from dealers in laundry supplies or from large wholesale druggists. Put the required amount of water in a barrel and pour in the caustic soda. The action of water upon the caustic soda generates, sufficient heat to dissolve the arsenic which should be poured in slowly (to prevent foaming over and thus preventing possible scalding and scattering of the poison) as soon as the water begins to steam. Stir vigorous-! ly with a wooden paddle until themixture cools. If all the arsenic has ! not dissolved, heat until it goes into | solution, but if done correctly all the arsenic should dissolve the first time. ! If a little whiting is added to this ' solution it will be easy to tell which trees have been treated. Both the arsenic and the caustic Isoda are exceedingly poisonous and gi eat care should be takerv-not to inhale or swallow any of the dust or fumes arising when the preparation is being made. Do not prepare this compound in any vessels that may afterwards be used in the house or for feeding stock, and it should not be left where irresponsible persons or stock can have "access to it. Stock should not be turned into the field where it has been used until rains have washed away nil iho j^:sori To use the preparation, cut gashes through the bark in the trunk of the tree. The cuts should be shallow, just into the sapwood and close enough so that there will be a ring of poison around the tree. Make the cuts so they will retain the poison in j stead of permitting it to run down the trunk. A large spoonful of liquid should be poured into each cut. An / ** old teakettle with a long spout is a satisfactory vessel to use in applying it to the tree. Generally, it is used during the early part of the growing season, but some claim it is most effective if used in the early fall. The solution tends to become less effective if kept longer than six months. If kept in an air-tight container, however, it will retain its strength much longer. The species of trees which seem most susceptible to the poison are the hardwoods, including elms, maples, oaks, locusts and ash. Gums, persimmon, hickories, pines, cottonwood are less liable to be killed. If not convenient to make this preparation a list of firms who manufacture one of a similar nature may bo obtained on request to your couikty agent." Henry D.

Unselfish Service to Others O r Is a Telephone Tradition Once every year there is an award of Vail medals for liell telephone workers. These are given in recognition of acts that are considered as outstanding in noteworthy public service, and four have been awarded to Southern Hell workers this year. Every day more than 20,000 people in the Southern liell telephone organization arc giving their utmost endeavors to the service of the pubjic. To most of them there does not come the opportunity for heroic or noteworthy conduct. And yet it is their conscientious daily fulfilment of their duty to the company and to the public that makes t possible the smooth and satisfactory service that you have coine to accept as a matter of course. Usually it is only in emergencies that heroic acts are called for, but every hour of every day the telephone fraternity is giving you the best they can to serve your needs, and, if necessary they will rise to a crisis and demonstrate that they, too, place service above self.

Sixty Feet Under Ground I In constructing the waterway, the 'largest of its kind ever undertaken by* a single business concern, the engineers are burrowing sixty feet under ground for a distance of two and a fifth miles. They have gone under main highways, railroads, street car tracks, bridges, a cemetery .and a creek. One of the most difficult tasks was , that of tunneling under Baby Creek at < a point which Is crossed by a railroad bridge and when? also a large sewer *1' under construction by the city of Detroit. The plies that provide the foundation for the bridge and those driven by the company constructing the sewer formed a network on each side of the creek. It was the task of the Ford engineers to burrow under the creek, eewsr and bridge, going between the pile* without striking or weakening them. , Boring of the tunnel ia accomplished by means of a shield?a largw steel cylinder fourteen feet long and twenty one feet in outside diameter with a solid steel shell or skin two and a fourth Inches thick. This shield has a bulkhead which is made fast near the front end. There are four openings through which the mud streams, like toothpaste from a tube, as the shield Is shored forward by twenty powerful hydraulic Jacks.' When,, the shield has been pushed forward raBcIently concrete blocks two and a'half feet wide and fire feet long, each weighing 1,410 pounds, are ' C J : ''V placed to form a ring around the circumference of the tunnel. One of them act* as a keystone so that the lining of concrete, which la eighteen lnchea thick, withstands the pressure of the earth. After this steel forme are set up and filled with concrete to form n solid Inner lining which Is also eight Ms Inches thick. ?
