W0MAN'S HEIRS SEEK CASH
File Suit in Kansas for $325,ooo,
Claiming Fortune Was Taken
Without Right.

Kansas City-SiXteen heirs of Mrs.
Jane Perkins, who died in Unicoi
county, Tennessee, 35 years ago,
brought suit in the circuit court here
to get possession of the $325,000 es-
tate of Nathaniel P Simpson, a re-
clause who died here last December.
The petition asserts that Mrs. Per
kins, by thrift, accumulated $11S,000 in
Central City, Colo, where she kept a
boarding house for miners, and had
the privilege of gathering waste gold
from the slush boxes at the mines.
Nathaniel P Simpson, miner, board
ed at her home and became her bust
ness manager. In 1873, accompanied
by Simpson, Mrs. Perkins moved to
Tennessee.
Simpson had induced her to invest
her money in securities, and when she
died, the petition states, he left there,
taking all the valuable papers with
him, and for more than 80 years Mrs.
Perkins heirs we're unable to locate
him. When they read in the papers
of the death or Nathaniel P. Simpson
here, they began an investigation and
now claim he was the same man that
acted as Mrs. Perkins manager.
Simpsons son, Henry G. Simpson
of Lincoln Center, Kan, is made de-
PENDANT in the suit.

Mothers.

\ There is in Kansas City a twenty
year old boy bandit under arrest. He
has confessed his pant in holding up
and killing a saloon'man, and he will
probably be sentenced to the peniten-
tIary. But there is a frail little woman
who has come all the way from Los
Angeles, who can't believe the boz
did anything of the sort. She made
the long journey in order Ito do what
she could in his behalf though that
will probably be Intellectual.
You have. of course, guessed exactly
right. She is his mother.
81 would gladly go and serve his
sentence" she told the chief of police.
when she appealed to him. ''He is so
young and bright and good. There
never was week passed but that re-
ceived letters from Jimmy; sometimes
he would send me flowers and he would
always send nice little verse along. "
. That young man who does. these
thoughtful things should be guilty of
murder and robbery is absurd. Ask
any mother of any son-no matter how
worthless the world may count him
and see if this little mother is not
right.

GIRL SAYS TO HIT WASHER
Margaret GormeIy, Seventeen Years
Old, Tells How She Routed Man
With Her Fists.

Chicago.-When masher speaks to
you, hit him in the eye and kick him
on the shins. Then he will run.
This is the advice offered by seven
teen-year-old Margaret Gormely, 2746
North Fortieth avenue, who proved
that she had punch" in each fist
and football players kick, when she
overcame a man who attacked her.
Miss Gormely, who is a slender,
pretty brunette, was returning alone
from the theater when a strange man
spoke to her.
He was large and powerful, weigh
ing more than ITO pounds. The girl
came scarcely to his shoulder. She
weighs about los pounds.
She ignored him and quickened her
steps. The man followed and put his
arms about her.
Then / landed on him." Miss
Gormely said in telling her story of
the attack. Il jerked my right arm
free and punched him on the nose,
in the eye-anywhere l could hit him.
also kicked him.
ne soon ndu enough ana ran. L
ran after him and chased him more
than a block, screaming as loudly as
l could"
But Miss Gormely did not scream
because she was afraid. She only
wanted somebody to stop the masher
and have him arrested
He didn't brighten me-" she said,
"even though he was twice as big as
am. If he hadn't been so big I'd have
knocked him down and stamped on
him. AS it is, l believe did a pref
ty fair job"

Sensitive Plant Life,

The craving Of plants and trees for
water has sometimes led them to ter
rible extremes. A poplar has been
known to burrow beneath a wall, I'M
der road, and down a well-all in
search of water. and a pertinacious
turnip which got the tip of its root
into the crack in a field drain went
on and on until it was six feet long

Stay On the Farm,

That the farmer. himself must solve
the problem of making farm life at
tractlve enough to keep This sons and
daughters from seeking the excitement
of city,life is the conclusion to be
drawn from late bulletin issued by
the Secretary of Agriculture. The
figures in this report show that the
proportion of persons employed on
farms or in other agricultural pursuits
has been slowly dwIndling from SO.
per cent in 1920 to IT'S in 1910. and
thus down the line until in 1900 only
35. 3 per cent, or about one third of the
persons having kgainful occupations
are employed lin farming. In sharp
distinction to this decrease of 47.8 per
cent in agricultural pursuits. the num-
Der of persons engaged in other lines
of work has increased from 2,067, 957
to 10.2 651 OF five times the number
employed in 1920.
In the only cases where farm work
has been held in high favor and where
wages. have kept on increasing, 1T is
said that farming of the intensive
spirit has ibeen carried on, showing
that skill in farming not only increases
the output, but affords Iaborers a bet
ter chance of improving their financial
condition.
In seeking to increase their effici-
ency. the report states that farmers
cannot hope to attract many people
from the cities. On the other hand,
there would be no need for this if
farmers would take pains to make life
at home interesting for their sons
and daughters. Keeping the farm
population content at home is a much
better solution of the problem than
trying to secure city men and women
to.fill the rapidly depicting ranks of
farm laborers of both sexes.
In other words stay on the farm
campaign would prove more effective
than back to the farm movement.
