Washington, June 15.~Repre-
sentative Rosenbloom of West
Virginia will ask Secretary of
War Weeks about the alleged tor-
ture of an enlisted man at Fort
Oglethrope, Georgia, in a confer-
ence Thursday.
Rosenbloom will be accompani
ed by the mother of the soldier,
Mrs. Louise P. Rhodes of Wheel-
ing, who came to Washington to
put her complaint before the War
Department.
The soldier is George P. Rhodes
Troop K, Sixth Cavalry. It was
said that he went absent without
a leave for twenty-six hours re
cently, and was given kitchen po-
lice duty as punishment. After
the elapse of ten days, when his
Saturday punishment was supposed to ex-
pire, he was assigned to another
period of “K. .P”
Rhodes is said to have refused,
following which he was placed in
the guard house. He broke con-
finement, and, according to the
story told here, was thereupon
put in shackles, and was prevent-
ed for seventeen days from re-
moving any of his clothing. His
right leg, the story goes, became
infected, and was lanced at the
hospital, the shackles were not
removed, and he was compelled to
work until he fell from weakness
ar.d pain. Then his leg was again
lanced and when it was feared
amputation might be necessary
because of the infection, the
shackles were removed in a black-
smith shop, it is said.
Rosenbloom is of the opinion a
congressional investigation may
be necessary to learn the truth
of this and similar charges. High
"leers of the army are said to be
in favor of reprimanding those
responsible. Rosenbloom wants
them dishonorably discharged
from the army.

NO PLACE FOR IT
Some farmers are to experiment
in a new way' wiMt-.ttte'bott -weevil
problem. They are to burn lamps
at night under which is placed a
vessel containing .oiL-aild water.
Near Arlington, Texas, on a five
acre cotton patch, where two
wash tubs were placed in the field
over which lanterns were swung
2200 boll weevils were caught the
firsts* ar.d second nights. Mr.
Elliott cleaned his patch of the
pests.
Otho S. Plemmons, recently of
Ranger, has accepted a position
with the Cross Drug Store as
pharmacist. Mr. Plemmons will
be remembered by many in Steph-
enville as he was connected with
the same concern several years
ago, resigning to enter the army.
He is a son of Dr. Plemmons who
at one time lived in the Clairette
country. A wide circle of friends
covering the entire county are
glad to know that Mr. Plemmons
will again make his home in
Stephenville.

DON’T LET ’EM GROW
A young city matron writes
that she is very much put out

evidently taking advantage of her
inexperience in housekeeping by

can lay his hands on. She says

that they take the eggs out of the

Mrs. Ellen Snell left for her
home in Hamilton county Satur-
day after a pleasant visit with the
family of A. D. Fu(bright. Mrs.
Snell is one of the ftrst settlers of
Hamilton county, and, although
jnot young, she takes much inter-
est in affairs which uplift man-
kind, and increases his useful-
ness. The school interests of Ste-
phenville came in for much praise

the conversation he asked her:
“Did Frank leave you much?”
“Did he leave me much?” she

yells at me to one who throws a
