GOODS HYPNOTIZE
GIRL; SUBJECT
SCARED 'EM

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Nov. "a.
Because several girls at Vassar
college put one of their number I'M
der the influence of hypnotism
and were unable to awaken her,
the president of the college has for
hidden any more practice of hypno-
tism at this famous girls school.
Several of the Vassar students
who have manifested great interest
in telepathy, agreed to test the
strength of their wills, as pitted
against the mind of another young
woman.
Gathered in room, half a dozen
of the girls decided that the next
person who entered the room
should be their subject. Presently
grl entered. She was told to seat
herself in chair in the center of
the room and the mastery of men
tai power was turned on her. The
subject soon began to act queerly.
Several of the girls in turn directed
the subject to sing different songs
and perform other queer stunts.
After about an hour an effort was
made to arouse her, but this failed
despite continued attempts. Instead
the girl kept on singing, and finally
the pupils called a member of the
faculty. 1t was then found that as
all the girls had helped to place her
in a trance all of them would be
compelled to release her at one
time, and the girls, acting in uni
son, succeeded in bringing their
subject to her senses.

Alma Bell does not say 81 am
glad of IT, with an air Of hardened
bravadO. She Is not hardened.
Folks around Auburn who have
known her since girlhood, say she
was a good girl, hard working
girl. She kept company with
Armes for about four years and in
the codes of mountain people, they
were engaged.
A few months ago Alma went to
live at the home of her lover, where
she helped Mrs. Armes with the
housework. The little household
was happy one until midsummer,
when the fruit picking season
brought many new faces to the
Armes orchard. Among them was
Minnie Foster, an attractive young
girl-black-eyed, vivacious. 1t was
not long before younf Joe Armes
became interested in her. That was
the beginning.
A bitter feeling grew up between
the two girls and Alma left the
Armes farm and returned to her
own home.
Several times, Alma declares, she
urged upon her lover the necessity
of immediate marriage. Always he
put her off with promises. Finally
on the night of June last, when
she had despaired of holding
young Armes to his promises, Alma
called her lover from his home
and as he was walking with her
shot him through the heart. She
was arrested. In the county jail
her baby was born. 1t did not live.
And now they have put her on
trial. The little home on the barren
ranch, all that old pike" Bell left
behind him after wrestling several
fortunes from the earth, has been
mortgaged by an aged mother to
hire lawyers to defend the girl.
The defense, as stated, is tenn
porary insanity. In reality it is the
"unwritten law" 1t is the unwrit-
ten law of the Chester Gillette
case, reversed in it's application. 1t
demanded the life of Chester Gill
lette. Will it demand the return
to freedom of Alma Bell?
Probably-but not before a poor,
ignorant girl has barred her soul to
the world. She is willing and eager
t. do this. The world is willing and
eager to look. That is the double
pity of it,

CO. OPERATIVE WAREHOUSE
PLAN BY FARMERS
UNION.

Initial action for the estab-
lishment of, a cooperative
warehouse, market and trading
center in Spokane was made
yesterday afternoon by a COM
mittee from the Spokane
county local of the Farmers
Educative and Cooperative
Union Of America. The COM
mittee, composed of r. v. Mar
tin, Opportunity president; L.
c. kuns, SpangIe, secretary; F.
c. Green, Cheney, M. Poor, La
tab, and Mr.. Peterson, Espan-
ola, met in secret session at
the Spokane hotel.
Just how much was done
along these lines could not be
learned, but it is declared by
members of the farmers union
that the day when they shall
have their own warehouses,
markets and other trading
places here, 10 make Spokane
their business center, is not far
off. 1t is not likely, however,
that Spokane will be made the
business center for more than
the Spokane county local.

nice thing to dream about, but
when you have lived on the
farm and followed this mean
dering business for a month or
SO, you will discover a wide
chasm between the dream and
the reality. You will think of
this about the time your hus-
band meanders off and leaves
you without wood, and you have
to meander up and down the
lane pulling splinters off OF the
fencewith which to cook dinner.
And when you meander around

the cows, you will have a dim
perception that tond dreams do
not always pan out a hundred
cents on the dollar, and that
there are several meanderings
in farm life that are not listed

farm is not what it is cracked
