HleERNATloN FOR ECONOMY

1t Is interesting to note the influ-
ence of the food supply on man, protec-
lively causing a condition closely re-
sembling Information. For instance,
there is in Russia certain class of
peasants who suffer from a chronic
state of famine which becomes more
acute at the end of the year and more
or less severe according to circum-
stances. In these cases, when the
head of the family sees, toward the
end of autumn, that by a normal con.
sumption of their supply of wheat it
will not last the family through the
winter, he makes arrangements to di-
minish the rations as much as pos
sible.
Knowing that 1t will be difficult to
preserve their health and keep up the
physical force necessary for their
work in the spring, he and his family
plunge themselves into q condition
known as "leika" which means that
everybody simply goes to bed, lying
down on the top of the flat stove, and
there they stay during the four or five
months of winter They get up, dur
ing this time, only. to replenish the
fire, eat small piece of black bread
and take small drink of water. The
peasant and his family try to move as
little as possible and sleep as much as
they can-stretched out on the stove
top, they preserve almost complete i'm
mobility. Their only care during the
long winter is to keep down the body
metabolism, to waste as little as pos
sible Of their animal heat and drink
less, move less, and generally to re-
duce the activities of their bodies.
Their instinct commands them to
sleep as much as possible-obscurity
and silence reign in the hut where, in
the warmest place, either singly or
crowded, the occupants pass the win
ter season in condition closely re-
sembling observation-disclosures Sci

KANSAS HAS POISON MYSTERY

Greensburg, Kas., Nov. 14-Dr. G..
II. Buck, n wealthy resident of this
place. was given preliminary hear
ing today on the charge of having
murdered his wife, Mrs. Lila Buck, by
poisoning. The charges against the
physician have created great sensa-
ton in this section and the outcome
of the case is awaited with keen inter
est.
The complaining witness in the case
Is w. b. Kinsall father Of the dead
woman. SO far. the basis of the charg-
es has not been made public.
Mrs, Buck had been a. lifelong res
ident of Greensburg and was socially
prominent. DR.. Buck, to whom she
was married about year ago, was
also well thought of, though he was
not so well known, having resided
here less than two years. The mar
ried life of the couple appeared hap.
py. Mrs Bucks death occurred about
four weeks ago after an Illness of two
days. Physicians who were called In
were unable to decide definitely upon
the nature Of her Illness. Two weeks
after her death formal complaint was
made against DIR. Buck charging him
with murder.

VAUGHN CASE READY FOR TRIAL

Kirksville, Mo-, Nov. 14-Both the
prosecution and the defense in the so.
called Vaughn murder case are bus
lily engaged in completing arrange
ments for the trial, which will take
place at the November term of the cir
cult court which convened today at
Lancaster, near here. The unusual
mystery surrounding the murder, IL
murder there was, and the promi-
nence of all the parties concerned
have combined to attract wide atten-
tion to the case and the trial promises
to be one of the most notable of it's
kind that has taken place in Missouri
in long time.
! The defendants in the case are Mrs.
alleged victim, and DR.. James r. Hull,
who was Mrs. Vaughn's family ply
sician. The two are accused of pois.
oning Mrs. Saughn's husband, Prof.
John T. Vaughn, who was one of Mis-
souri's leading educators and at the
time of his death filled the chair of
American history in the State Normal
School here.
The death of Prof. Vaughn occurred
Oct. Ia, 1909. Though apparently in
the best of health when he arrived
home from church on the might of his
death, he died in commissions thirty
minutes later. At the time, however,
no one suspected that his death was
not natural or at any rate accidental.
The frivolous behavior of the wild.
ow within a few days after the death
OF her husband first aroused the pub
lie suspicion and later led to an Of
fetal inquiry into the cause of Prof.
Vaughn'e sudden death. The body
was eXhumed and an examination by
the chemist of Missouri State Univer-
ence Of strychnine. The grand jury
then returned indictments charging
first degree murder against Mrs.
Vaughn and DR.. Hull, who had been
her physician and on intimate terms
with her family, who are wealthy res
idents of Monroe City.
Eminent counsel have been retained
to defend Mrs. Vaughn and DR.. Hull.
1t is understood that the defense will
rely upon a contention that Prof.
Vaughn was in the habit of taking
tablets containing strychnine and that
his death was the result of an acci-
dental overdose of the medicine.

INTENSIVE FARMING

A swiss farmer out in Pawnee co.
Nebraska is making $4,000 a year off
of a twenty-acre farm, and is taking
the best of the premiums at the fairs
in this vicinity. He has made SO con-
spicuous a success of intensive farm
ing that the United States department
of agriculture has published bulle-
tin which tells of his methods and his
achievements.
Arnold Martin is the farmers name,
and Bulletin 1876 tells about his
twenty-acre farm. He came from
Switzerland twenty years ago and
settled in Nebraska. He paid $3.50
for the little tract of land. 1t was on
hillside, and 1t was stony and bar
rem soil. 1t was part Of a large tract,
but the former owner was glad to DIS
pose of it, as he didn't see where he
could use 1t to any profit. When he
sold it for $3.50 It was "just like find
ing money" and he wondered what
Martin would do with it.
The Swiss farmer went to work with
will to clear the tract of stones. He
sold some of them and he used some of
the rest in putting up his stables and
other buildings. His first years crop
on the barren hillside brought him in
$500, and he has been increasing his
revenue every year. Last year he
won $1025 in premiums at the Ne
braska State fair and at other fairs.
At two fairs he took first prize for
county EXHIBITS. He also won num-
erous individuals prizes. At one ex-
hibition he captured SO first and sec
ond awards.
There was crooked little creek on
Martins land, and he took the curves
out of it, thereby gaining an acre OF
good, tillable land, that he had not
been able previously to utilize. He
works his twenty acres pretty con
stantly on the same plan that the
farmers in Switzerland work theil
hilly little farms, and he Is getting
good results. There are many Ameri
can farmers who own much bigger
farms and are not doing so we'll from
a revenue standpoint. Some of then
scarcely would think 1t possible t
make living on twenty-acre trac
of land. Nevertheless, the men wht
are cultivating the small farms for al
they are worth are the men who arr
doing the most to keep the world from
going supperless to bed."-Louisvill,

SKETCH
Of The Life Of A Busy Man
In The Milling Business
Mansfield News)

lMHnB0elu NeWS)
Accompanying an excellent like
ness of Frank II. Tanner Of the Hicks
Brown Milling company, appears the
following sketch of the well known
miller in this weeks edition of the
Weekly Northwestern Miller, publish
ed at Minneapolis, MINI.
Frank II. Tanner, president, treas
urer and manager of The Hicks
Brown Milling company. Mansfield,
Ohio, started in the milling business
in 1876 with A. A. Taylor at Loudon-
Vile, Ohio, who was then operating
mills at Toledo and Massillon and lat
er at Mt. Vernon. In 1886 this busi-
ness was incorporated as The North.
western Elevator & Mil Co., and Mr..
Tanner became treasurer and, later,
vice president of the company.
In 1876 Hicks Brown and j. Straub
built very complete 200-bbl. -four
mill at Mansfield. The venture was
successful from the start and In 1894
the business of the mill increased to
450 bbls. In 1899 all the interests of
the company were purchased by
Frank II. Tanner and his brother, G.
A. Tanner, who was installed as man
ager. In 1901, Frank II. Tanner as
sumed the management of the plant
and his brother represented the com.
pany in New York. The milling ca
pacity was soon increased to 700 bbls.
Il day and the elevator capacity to 90
600 bushels, The owners have kept
pace with milling improvements and
today have a thoroughly modern
plant.
The location at Mansfield is In one
of the best soft winter wheat sections,
the county in which 1t Is located grow
ing approximately 100000 bushels of
wheat year. Furthermore, seven
important railroads enter Mansfield
| and this assures proper wheat sup
ply from the best wheat sections of
Ohio and Indiana and quick transit to
all important markets. The company
is not dependent upon central mar
kets for wheat supplies and is able
to buy wheat at prices considerably
under those markets.
Mr.. Tanner was father OF the Ohio
Millers' State association, one of the
most successful state associations in
the country, and Is now its vice pres
ident He has always taken an active
interest in all the larger matters af-
fecting the millers of the country.

LOST OUT
Did The High School Team
To DOaRG Academy
At Granville Saturday By
Score Of rs To 6

The Mt. Vernon High school foot
ball team suffered defeat at the hands
of the Doane academy team at Gran
vile on Saturday afternoon by a score
of 2S to 6. The Mt. Vernon team went
into the game with hopes of victory,
although 1t was known that the Doane
team was very strong and that they
had coped successfully with some
very strong teams earlier In the sea
son. The teams were about evenly
matched In weight and while the
Granville men seemed to be faster
than the locals, 1t was undoubtedly
because they have been under skill
full coach during the entire season
as well as being able to watch and
hear the coaching of the Denison Uni
versity team.
All of Mt. Vernon's men were able
to enter the game, the lineup being
almost the same as 1t was one week
ago in the Otterbein game, but the
same vim and dash was not apparent,
probably because their opponents
were so well coached to stop fast men.
Altenburg, as usual, played star
game for Mt. Vernon, at one time Sc
curing a tumble and making a bril-
liant run for the only touchdown Sc
cured by his team during the game.
Doane's scores did not come so easily
as 1t might be expected. Their four
touchdowns were all gained by the
hardest kind of playing and had the
locals not been handicapped with
their usual hard luck, the score would
have been smaller and probably more
points would have been added to theil
credit, Rupp, for Doane, played the
star game, making one long run o
about so yards for Touchdown dur
ing the last minute of play.
The fight made against their strong
est rivals. insures the fact that tn,
Mt. Vernon team Is still in the run
ming and that they are able to pla.
against odds with the spirit that wins
Taking the fact that the local team
plays much stronger game at hom
than abroad, we will probably viii
the game with Shelby high school a

noon,

THE HIGHEST CLOUDS

During the last year scientists at
tached to one of the bureau at Wash
ington has been engaged in measur-
ing the height of the clouds by photo
graphy.
Simultaneous pictures of cloud are
made by the two cameras placed 600
feet apart and connected by telegraph
wires. From the amount of displace-
ment of the cloud caused by viewing
1t alternately from each end Of the 600-
foot base line its height can be cal
culated. Some of the "mackerel sky"
clouds photographed were seven and
quarter miles high, the loftiest
clouds whose elevation was thus
measured belonged to the type known
as circus or "curl cloud" the height
of which was little more than II
miles.-London Globe
