ELMER j. COLLINS, husband of
Aida Collins, may be guilty of the
unnatural crime, but the evidence
hardly warranted his arrest. Evi-
IDENTIFY the father of the murdered
woman don't think his son-in-l law
guilty. All the same he has been
arrested and committed to jail His
attorney. Robert c. White, has ap-
piled for his release ON habeas cor
pus proceedings. 1t is an awful
charge to stand on if the man is in
nocent, but if he is guilty, then he
should pay the full penalty Of the
law. No guilty person should be
allowed to go scot free like Cole. 1t
is a travesty on justice.

son why some men own newspapers
They want to have an organ of their

 Two cups of boiling water, to which you add two tablespoonfuis of corn starch; wet up with cold water" ran Betty's grandmother's recipe. stir over the fire until thick and add ta- blespoonful of fat from the liquor in which tho chickens were boiled. Take from the fire, whip in three raw eggs, and; when the mixture Is nearly cold, put in the yolks of three hard-boiled eggs, rubbed smooth with two table spoonfu1s made mustard. one table spoonful powdered sugar, one teaspoon ful each of salt. pepper and Worcester shire sauce, two tablespoonfuls of oil, few drops at a time. and cupful of vinegar. Strain through net. moisten the salad with half of it, and eat the rest into the thick part of the dressing. which should be entirely cold.
