knows OF this terrible affair, He and
have parted, because he left me for gamb-

hope It will teach him the lesson he
would moi learn from me"
This statement was made today by Mrs.
Samuel Schepps, wife OF the man who is
charged with having been the paymaster
OF Rosenthars assassns. Mrs. Schepps
has been supporting herself with a MILL
merry establishment In an apartment house
in LenoX avenue. She is comely woman
in her thirties. She spoke with a tone Of
bitterness which she was unable to dis
simulate.
1--WE were married six and q half years
ago." the wife continued "At first our
married life was most happy. His busi-
ness took him out OH the road nearly all
the time and to be with him I travelled
also. We would be still together and
happy were IL not for the gamblers.

However, just now we are try
ing to stop the leak that is caus-
ing starvation while tons of per-
feet food is dumped In San Fran
cisco bay to keep up prices or In

This sort of thing is crying
shame. The middle man makes
it impossible for the poor to be
fed when there is plenty of food. -
This distribution plan Is part of
the work being done by the Cole

BOY OF 8 RIDES z

(By United Press Leased Wire.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Here is a
new record for three-year-olds:
George Refs, three-year-old son
Of Dr.. George w. Refs, wealthy
surgeon, today broke the known
mark for baby tricycle. riders by
riding his machine from SOL
Windsor avenue to his fathers
home, a distance of nearly twelve
miles across the city, in just eight
hours.
George escaped from his moth
er while she was visiting Mrs.
George Remus at the Windsor
address. At 1 o'clock he leaped
on his machine and started for
home.
His mother was frantic when
she discovered his absence. Wis
ions of kidnapings and serious ac-
cidents fitted across her mind.
DR.. Refs called to take his family
home, only to learn that George
was missing. The police were no.
titled and instantly began a search
of the neighborhood. Meanwhile
George was making the pedals
fly.
Finally the distracted parents
went to their home and waited
anxiously for word from the po-
lice of their lost boy. At 9
o'clock George arrived.
"Whew," he said, that was
some ride. Use hungry And the
little fellow almost collapsed from
exhaustion.

Success in ry-farming is not for
the shiftless or the indolent. All
farming requires brains to make it
profitable. It involves hard work
and plenty Of it. Dry-farming is
largely matter Of conserving the
moisture from year to year. But
this does not present insuperable
difficulties. By proper manage
ment a titled field can be made a
reservoir through the accumulation
of moisture beneath the surface.
The moisture which falls as rain
or snow must be made to penetrate
it's surface, and when once i'm
prisoned its escape by evaporation
must be prevented. Til|age is the
means by which both these objects
may be misunderstanding up the
soil in the first place by deep plow-
ing in order that the water may
sink into it and stirring the surface
so that a mulch Of loose powdered
earth may keep the channels OF
evaporation closed.
