During the last four years he has shown an uncanny knowledge of where police traps were set and cir cled around them. At intervals he would make visits to Rast Boston haunts, where he was a familiar figure before the Cambridge harder.

The murder of the bank messenger and theft of the $10,000 pay roll in front of the Ward Baking company on Albany street, was one of a long se ries of similar crimes that terrorized Cambridge during 1024 and 1025.

A good crop of alfalfa hay yields from two to seven times as much digestible pro tein per acre ns any of the farm crops commonly g^own for live stock feed. An alfalfa' field on the farm will do more than furnish “very class of live stock with the highest grade of rough- age possible at a reasonable cost. With alfalfa hay available, other high yielding legumes can be used as pas ture, or they can be plowed under as soil builders. Alfalfa seeded In ti e fall requires a good seedbed, well pulverized and firm. The soil pulverizer Js recog nized as a good tool for crushing clods and for firming the soil before seeding.

When completed it reached from Petersburg to Blakely, Va., one and a half miles below the falls of the Roanoke Rivef, a total distance of 59 miles. Not much of a Railroad by Modern standards! But an undertaking of some magnitude for those times; and one that, its advocates foresaw, would revolutionize industry and commerce. They were empire builders, those pioneers of the Petersburg Railroad, who had unbounded faith in the future of the South and in the success of the new enterprise. But as great as was their faith they could hardly have envisaged the changes that were to come. Built as a local enterprise to increase trade, the Petersburg Railroad became in a few years a link in the "great mail" route between North and South and, with more than one hundred other roads, was later-welded into the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. Today what was formerly the Petersburg Railroad is an essential part of a system com prising 5153 miles of railroad in Southeast Vir ginia, the Eastern Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and Southeast Alabama. Over the heavy steel rails that long ago re placed the strap-iron track of the Petersburg Railroad, there moves a vast and varied traffic. From North to $outh—from South to North —the great trains thunder past. Luxurious mile-, a-minute passenger trains, each costing as much as the entire original cost of the Petersburg Road. Swift freight trains, laden with valuable cargoes. Every train essential to the commerce of die nation. Every train a tribute to the vision of the founders, and of the men who followed after. The Adandc Coast Line of today has been a century in the making. It looks to die future with the same confidence as did that President of the Petersburg Railroad who wrote; "of the tal success of ouch a line, no one can doubt 10 is the least acquainted with the immense itercourse of the country and with the great value of time in conducting its business." . — -r — — -VT' - — The Standard Railroad of the South * ■■ **■ **S V’'' fTbu k tk* firB of a strut of advtnistmmts by tbt ^Atlantic Coast Jjnt 'Railroad, centennial of Us tatiitB constituent company - the 'Petersburg'Rpilroad Company} ,4* t.: ■
