ifis letter to the teachers is as fol
lows:
To the Teachers of Laurens County:
I have been told that Boys' Club
Work h'as not receivedl very munch at
tent ion in this county in the past. I
aminte'restedl ini club work among the
bmoys, because the prIoper time to bor.
gin training a person in the hlst
omethiods of farming is while lie is
young. Tlhe bmoys of today will b~e the
min of tomorrow. It is your business
andl mine to see that these young citi
zena are well prepared for their fut
ture reslponsibilityies andl I believe
the best way to secure the interest of
boys and girls is to give themi some
tihing to call their own, and~ then en
cou rage thenm to study the beat
met hods; of' caring for their property.
1 hope that the teachers of Laurens
county will beeomie sumllently inter
ested in club work to encourage thler
pump1ils in joining andl getting started
In the work. -I will appreciate any coa
oplerat ion that the teachmers wvill give
along this lHne, . and will be glad .to
visit the schlools and assist th'e teach
('rs in organizing clubs in the school
to stimulate community interest
aro'ndni the schools. Where six or
mioreC boys are enrolled in clubh work
at one school, I will try to get theta
organized into a local ciflb at the
school. Then there can' he 'coinpeft
tion between different clubs as well
as individual competition among the
club -m'sntberg.,
lloys and girls are bo0th eligible to
join these clubs provided they will
grow an acre of some crop or grow a
iig or salf according to my directions.
Nig, CYorn 5mdi Calf Clb wvork will be
specially emphasized this year. 'I will
be glad to help to. boys to buy their
lpigs and calves, and when dlesiredl to
do so I swill help them to borrow
monley to pay for 4lhem. Boys and
girls between the ages of 10 ~and 18
yearis are eligile to compete for priz
cs. Others will be eligible to par
ticipate in club work, but wvill not ho
eligihble to receive prizes in competi

Rules governing the variouts phases
of club work will be furnished upon

MERICY OF COURIT
To Plead. Guilty in Part of Robbery.
Not In Actual Theft.
Mount Vernon, Ill.,, Jan. 22.--Guy
Kyle, 35, minister, tonight announced
he would Plead -guilty to complicity
in the theft here of 31 packages of
registered mall edtaining miore than
$185,000 in dash and $27,000 in securi.
ties and would throw himself on the
mercy of the court.
He denied he participated in the
actual theft of the packages but said
he became' a pai'ty to the robbery
after the .pac'kaiges were brought to
a garage, of which he is half owner,
on the afternoon of the day of the
robbery. The packages 'were in four
mail sacks, and were stolen from an
express wagon in front of the local
:postoffmce shortly before 7. a. m.
Kyle furnished :postofmice inspectors
with the name of the man he said
brought the sackf, 4n t1- -9-e- bit
.the inspectors asserted they believed
the man, innocent and that Kyle was
attempting to implicate him because
he 'had been instrumental in clearing
up the mystery of theft.
The actual amount recovered was
$188,184.36, it was announced tonight.
"I had nothing .to do with the rob
bery until the sacks were brought to
the .garage,. and then I yielded to
temptation" said the former clergy
man. "We planned to take the money
to my home and bury it until the
matter passed over I will plead
guilty and throw myself on the mercy
of the court. I Wish the money had
never been brought to me."
Torren Williamston, Kyle's partner
in the garage business, 'who yesterday
found $75,000 of the money in one of
their two garages, and whose report of
the discovery led to Kyle's arrest,
stated he would claim the reward of
$5,000 afid 10 per cent of the money
recovered which the security company
offered. The reward w-ill total more
than $23,000.
AMERICAN CALL
WILL BE WELCONE
llis Says Disarmament Idea Is Popn.
lar.
Washington, Jan. 12.-An American
call for a world disarmament confer
ence would be welcomed by the great
powers of Europe and would'disclose
"the next Germany" should any nation
refuse to agree to disarm, Gen. Tasker
H. Bliss declared today before the
house naval committee.
The general gave to the committee
tho impressions he had gained through
discussions of the subject with l'urop.
('an stat'smeni amnd soldier while a
member of the supremie war council andl
later of the Anmerican ipeace commiis
sion. lie satid there swas an imnmediate
and sincere desire overseas for (dis
armament, but added that un-til a defl
nmite umnderstaniding had been reached,
lhe wouldl not "'disarm one American
soldier or lay up one American ship.'
General Bliss salid also that the
United States should comlelte her
present naval building lirogram. In
this connection -the committee received
from Secretary Danie'is a full state
men-t as to the relative naval strength
of the world piowers showilng that of
the United States to be now idway
between that or Great 'Britain and
JIapan. Hls fligures indlientedl, however,
that with the comnpletion of the pres..
ont authorized cons-truction of the
three nations, the American capital
ships would be tis groat as that of
Great flritain hu-t with the ration over
Japan slightly reduced.
