STRICKEN COMMUNITIES
',1' ' ' A wave of sympathy has srone up from all over the coun
try to the cities and towns in Southern Illinois and near-by
territory, which have suffered such a frightful stroke of
"sorrow, and loss from a terribly destructive tornado. This ex-
pression of sympathy should not be one of words only.
;, Thousands of people have lost all that they had. Many of
them may be thrown out of work for a time, so that the des
titution must be great. Many will suffer from cold until
ihey are provided with warm clothing and bedding. There
will be need for a great outpouring of "gifts to help these peo
ple over their hard spot. In a less developed country, people
tak"such calamities as a matter of course, and go about
their own business. Our people cherish a better sentiment,
'- so that every such catastrophe is followed by generous out--"poufcinffs
of assistance. One can see now the practical bene-
- fits of an organization like the Red Cross, which has the
'machinery all ready for instant functioning to supply such
a need, and a reserve of funds which is immediately avail
. able for purchase of supplies. However, that reserve must be
- kept constantly filled up by the generous gifts of the people,
and'the needs of such a special disaster as this will call lor
a great offering of special gifts. One may well wish that
"some human wisdom would tell the people how in future cal
amities of this kind can be avoided. But the winds of na
"'.ture are beyond human control, and their power constitutes
a hazard that has to be accepted as one of the perils of ex
istence, though the danger of course is greater in some lo
calities than others. Construction of substantial buildings
- anrj planting of many tall and sturdy trees, however, must
" have some tendency to resist the impact of wind storms and
" break their force.

states,. Indicate an Increased acre
,. Hce-of all of the major crops this

noticeable In the case of spring

there will be more than fifty acres

Every farmer that raised broc-1
wf,i mb yrar is increasing nis
acreage and many new namea are
seen on the list of the raisers of
this paying crop. Fifty acres plant
ed in this crop will guarantee a
sufficient yield to bring to the rais

Several tomato growers in the
county have pooled their interests
In the purchase of 10,000 tomato
plant frost protectors of a kind
that has proved very successful in
Southern California. It is expect
ed that with the protection afford
ed by these caps Josephine county
farmers can get a large ahare of
the early tomato business.
Through standardisation of the
melon crop the vegetable growers
hope to be able to raise both water
melons and musk molcns in suf
ficient quantities to warrant car
lot shipments of early varieties.
The Kleckley (Sweet and the
Klondike melon have been accept
ed aa the standard watermelon and
the Burrell Oem and the Pollock

melon to be raised as standard.

torney announced that nothtng fur
ther would he done until the ap
prehension of Louis Knight and Si
Ins Hardily, two Indian siinpecta,
who escaped from the county Jail

The murder theory connected

quiry proceeds.
Although Fred A. Baker, super

terday gsve county authorities per
mission to exhume Jackson's body.
Acting District Attorney Myers to
day announced lhat the exhuma
tion would be postponed until after
the rapturo of the two missing In
dians. The original theory that Jarknn
wns knocked unconscious and then
placed astride an unturned pony for
the spectacular death Tide has
been exploded hy the testimony of
competent white witnesses.
The one theory which now re
mains with the acting district at
torney and the Indian friends of
Jackann is that the hoy mU'ht have
sustained a trartiired skull In a
fight with llarelav and Knight
Just before the ride, but hnd re

time he rolled from the racing
pony.
The two escaped Indians have
