United States has reached very hign
level of pOsperity: but we can not af
ford to disregard the signs which teach
us that there are influences operating
against the establishment or retention
of our country life upon a really sound
basis. The Over-eXtensive and waste
full cultivation of pioneer days must
ical system. Not only the physical
but the ethical needs of the people Of
the country must be considered.
In our country life there must be
social and intellectual advantages as
well as a fair standard of physical
comfort. There must be in the coun-
try. as in the town, a multiplication OF
movements for intellectual advance
ment and social betterment. We must
try to raise the average of farm life.
and we must also try to develop it SO
! that it shall offer exceptional chances
for the exceptional man.
"All over the country there is a con-
stant complaint of paucity of farm la
Dor. Without attempting to go into
all the features of this question,
+ would like to point out that you can
never get the right kind, the best kind,
of labor if you offer employment only
for a few months. for no man worth
| anything will permanently accept a
| system which leaves him in idleness
for half the year. And most important
| of all | want TO say a special word on
behalf of the one who is too often the
| very hardest worked labOrer on the
I farm-the farmers wife. Reform, like
charity while it should not end at
home. should certainly begin there:
and the man, whether he lives on a
farm or in a town, who is anxious tC
see better social and economic condi
tions prevail through the country al
large. should be exceedingly careful
that they prevail first as regards his
own wCmankind.
Children Best Crop.
"The best crop is the crop of chill
dren; the best products of the farm
are the men and women raised there
on; and the most instructive and prac
tical treatises on farming, necessar,
though they be, are no more necessar!
than the books which teach us our dut.

SEARCH FOR TWIN SISTER
Fortune Left to Family by Wealthy

% Hunt for. Girl
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press. -
CHICAGO, Nov. GA man's dying wish
that his twin sister who has been es-
tranged from the family for eighteen
years, be found caused the following ad-
yertisement to be inserted In the papers
yesterday by a distant relative, Mrs. Ber-
tina Duus:
eIf Miss Augusta Kieist, who left Osh-
kosh, Wis, eighteen years ago, now S9
years of age will call at "a Crossing
street, city, she will hear something to
her advantage. (Signed) Mrs. Bertha
Duus,
Behind the estrangement and long abb
sence' of the woman lies story of in
compatibility. Miss Kleist, according to
Mrs. Duus was headstrong and fond of
dancing, and the restraint of the mother
was more than she could stand. So one
day after her mother had reprimanded
her she left her home and has not been
heard from since. .
Two weeks ago the girls twin brother,
,Reinhardt, a locomotive fireman, fell
from the cab of his engine and sustained
injuries that resulted in his death last
week. A short time previously Reinhardt
had received news from Germany that
fortune had been left to his mother by
her uncle. In his delirium the injured
man constantly referred to this and be-
moaned the fact that his estranged sister
perhaps was struggling to exist while
her brothers and sisters had plenty.

STAR OF "YANKEE TOURIST"
SAYS HE is INNOCENT
Charged with offenses Against Young
Girls, Noted Player Returns
Just in Time to Save
His 6ondsmen

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-Raymond Hitch
cock, the actor, who disappeared several
days ago, after he had been indicted on
charges preferred by several young girls,
appeared at the criminal court building
today and went to the Office OF the dis
trict attorney Hitchcock was placed un-
der bond - appear in court this after
noon. s
Hitchcock was arraigned upon only one
of the six indictmen against him.. to
which he pleaded not guilty and fur
nished bail. He was paroled In custody
of his counsel upon the other five.
His counsel said the actor had not been
out of New York, but had been suffering
from nervous prostration as a result OF
the charges. This. he said. was the first
day he had been able to go out.
Hitchcock looked pale and haggard and
showed signs of illness. He said he had
decided to face his accusers and try TO
win back the confidence Of his friends
and the public.
II am innocent" he said, ''and the only
way for me to prove 1t Is to stand trial.
I am prepared to fight 1t out now and
will go through with it."
While Hitchcock was in court his wife
remained in the district attorneys office
and in semi-hysterical condition.
Since Hitchcock's disappearance the
police of the entire eastern section OF the
United States and Canada have been
searching for him, but nothing of his
whereabouts was known until he appeared
at the criminal court building today.
Bail Fixed at $500
He went directly to the district attor-
ney's office from whence. accompanied by
his wife and counsel, he was taken to
court of general session, where bail was
fixed at $500. se.s
The first intimation of trouble came sev-
eral months ago when Hitchcock was
appearing in the leading role in "A
Yankee Tourist through the publication
of a story in a local newspaper contain~
ing practically the same allegations 20
those that led to the indictments.
No action of any kind was taken, how
ever. and 1t was not until the opening OF
the present theatrical season, which found
Hitchcock again appearing in "a Yankee
Tourist" that the storm broke.
The first real sensation came when the
actor caused the arrest on charge of
blackmail of brother of one of the
young girls, whose name had been men,
toned in the charges against Hitchcock.
In a few days Hitchcock was sum-
moned to the office of the district at
torney and was arrested on a charge of
criminal assault. Two dcys subsequent
ly, while he was at liberty on bail, the
indictments were returned by the grand
jury and almost simultaneously Hitch
cock dropped out of sight.

LIBEL BY Ex-coNGREsSMAN
BY Associated Press.

by ASsOclaIed f>rebas
NEW YORK, Nov 6.-william r.
Hearst apeared before Justice Wyatt in
the court of special sessions for a hearing
on the charge of criminal libel. brought

mentioned

stand today and denied absolutely that he
had ever been at Hitchcocks house whom

had ever ridden in Hitchcock's automobile
at any time. Mr.. Chanler said Hitchcock
for the past two years had owned a home
near his own at Great Neck, l.. l., and
that he knew the actor quite well.
At the conclusion of the hearing counsel
for Mr.. Hearst moved that the case be
dismissed and that Mr. Hearst be not
held for the grand jury on the ground

not been proven and that the article in
question had not been showrr to be OF a

employe Of the Evening Journal that Mr..
Hearst never wrote for that paper and
that his only interest in It was In
financial way.

decision next Wednesday.
Hitchcock resumed his role at the Astor
theater tonight and was given demon
stration of welcome.

ago an understudy took his place The
house was crowded when the star made
his appearance. which was the signal for
rousing applause. The actor looked hag-
gard and i'll. and his voice was uncertain
as he spoke his lines.
