| Is Your Seed Tested? I
8 The long, wet fall has made the seed situation serious. g
8 Tests of both corn and cotton show that most seed is g

Wastes the money it is worth as feed; wastes valua- ;2

Opens Branch Poultry House.
A new business firm was added
to Little Rock’s list of wholesale
concerns Monday says the Ga
zette when the Combs Poultry &
Egg Company closed a lease
with the German Trust Compa
ny for the building at 310 East
Markham street. Victor R. '
Combs, who was for many years ‘
connected with the Missouri De
partment of Pure Food Inspec
tion, was in Little Rock arrang
ing for the new location.
The Comibs company has been
operating in Newport, and is
opening the Little Rock business
as an additional location. Mr. 1
Combs said Monday he expects
to concentrate poultry and eggs '
in Little Rock for shipments to
the New York markets. His
firm is the only one in Little
Rock handling car lot shipments
of poultry to the eastern mar-'
kets, the commission houses fur-'
nishing supplies only to adja-'
cent territory.
He said he believed he would 1
be able to ship from one to three j
cars weekly. It requires 4,000
chickens to fill a car, and 12,000 1
dozens of eggs must be collected '
for one car shipment of this pro
duct.

Four Gunmen Die—One Makes
Confession.
Albany, N. Y., April 13.—
Shortly before “Dago Frank”
Cirofici went to the death chair
in Sing Sing prison early today
he told Warden Clancey that,
“Gyp the Blood” Horowitz.1
“Lefty Louie” Rosenberg and !
Harry Vallon, an informer, fired
the shots which killed Herman !
Rosenthal, for which crime the
four gunmen paid the penalty. 1
“So far as I know, Becker had
nothing to do with this case,”
the gunman also declared. “It
was a gamblers’ fight.”
Cirofici averred he was five '
miles away at the time the ;
crime was committed and that!
“Whitey Lewis” Seidenshiner,
although present at the scene of
the shooting, did not fire any of
the shots. Cirofici made no at
tempt, however, to deny that he
was included in the original plot
to slay Rosenthal, even admit
ting that he and other gangsters
had sought Rosenthal two nights
before the slaying.
They were frightened away
from Rosenthal on that occasion
'by men they thought were de
tectives. The condemned man
also admitted that early on the
night of the actual killing he
was in the gray “murder car”
with the gunmen, but he insist
ed that he left them before they
shot the gambler. He did not
explain precisely why he left the
other gunmen just prior to the
shooting, but two reasons are
advanced. One is that he be
came frightened and the other
that he deserted in order to bail
out his sweetheart, Jean Gordon,
who Had been arrested.

Better Have Law First.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 14.—“If
the numbers of children employ
ed in Arkansas increase as rapid
ly as the factories, Arkansas
will soon have a child labor
problem equal to that of Ala
bama, Georgia and the Carolinas
—large numbers of children em
ployed and no adequate law to
prevent it. Industries have a
way of growing faster than child
labor laws, and suddenly the con
dition appears which exists in
these Southern states, where
thousands of children are em
ployed and where any attempt to
better the child labor law meets
with bitter opposition from man
ufacturers who have become de
pendant upon child labor. These
parasite industries, w'hich can
not survive if they are forced to
employ adult labor at higher
wages, are a disgrace w'hich Ar
kansas should not permit to
take root within her boundaries
—they make infinitely less trou
ble if kept out.”
This is the statement made by
Ow'en R. Lovejoy, general secre
tary of the National Child La
bor Committee, now engagd in
initiating an act in Arkansas.
There is a large number of dif
ferent kinds of measures being
initiated in Arkansas, and they
have until May 14 to complete
the petitions.
