OVER WILL
REVEALS LOVE STORY
German I NObleman Married
I California CirI---ReIatives
Keep Them Apart

San Francisco, Dec. 24.-Conspiracy
and "undue influence" charges and n
skeln of romance are interviewer in a
remarkable will contest filed today in
the Salano county courts by, Carl
Raentch; German nobleman, against
Mrs, Lydia Armstrong. widow of Rob.
ert b. Armstrong, millionaire pioneer
In brief, the story runs thus:
Raentch came from his family estates
in Germany in 1910 to inspect his
California ranch property. He met and
loved Miss Carrie Armstrong. Opposi
tion came from the old pioneer family
for they disliked the idea Of a marriage
with foreign nobleman.
Armstrong himself, however, was moi
thus strongly opposed.
They welded.
+ Soon, they went to Berlin where they
remained in Raentch s castle for two
years, and where son was born "a
them. Then Mrs. Raentch returned Ia
America, where she became i'll. Raentch
followed. i.,
Trouble brewed when the pioneer
Armstrong died in 1914 leaving an
estate worth more than $l,O0O,OOO and
no will.
Mrs Raentch's illness took a bad
turn; Raenth tried vainly to reach her
but was told the family had ordered
that he be kept away. But locks and
family opposition did not deter the
German and his wife, and they ex
changed more than 100 love. notes
through a friend.
"They have threatened to disin
herit me if see you" wrote his wife
in one of them. 'fYou had best moi
try to come, for will be cut off il
you do. Don't fear; 1 love you.'
Then there came threats of a divorce
suit on the ground Of nOn-support; this
it is alleged, was part Of the conspir
acy which Raentch charges.
But, according to the papers, Mrs
Raentch s love was unswerving, and
she wrote at that time:
Ono one can keep us apart. When
am well, we will go away together"
Then, it is charged, new will ap
peared, cutting off Raentch completely
A few weeks ago, Mrs. Roentch died
but the German was not told of hel
death or funeral; he arrived to find
her buried, and his son kept from him
it is alleged,
Raentch now seeks his wife's estate
and custody Of the son. He charge.
his wife was influenced against hin
when in too weak condition to know
what she was doing, and that there was
a conspiracy to deprive him of thu
estate. '..

In all probability considerable further

in this market. This would have hap
pened under any circumstances while
the war lasted, and the British govern

a manner that will avert declines, quite
as much for its own interest as from
any readiness to protect the New York

from this movement is even less than

this connection it is well not to for

BANKERS URGED ID COOPERATE WITH
 FARMERS
SOUL MATERIAL HAS ENTEREDl THE BANK VAULTS OF
 THE NATION.
The Bank . Financial Power Houss
 to the Community.
By Peter Radford..

One of the greatest opportunities fn the business life of the nation lies in practical cooperation of the coun- try banks with the farmer in building. agriculture and the adventure is laden with greater possibilities than any forward movement now before the American public.
 A few bankers have loaned money to farmers at a low rate of interest, and ofttimes without compensation, to buy blooded livestock, build silos, fertilize the land, secure better seed, hold their products for betetr mar ket price, etc. The banker in con- tributing toward improving the grade of livestock; the quality of the seed and the fertility of the soil, plants in the agricultural life of the community fountain of profit, that, like Tenny-I sons brook, runs on and on forever. Community Progress Bank Asset.
 The time was when money loaned on such basis would severely test the sanity of the banker; such trans-l actions would pain the directors like a blow in the face. A cashier who would dare to cast bread upon waters that did not return buttered side up in time for annual dividends would have to give way to more capable man. This does not necessarily mean or that the milk of human kindnesss is being imbibed more freely by our finan- ciers. It indicates that the bankers ares getting wiser, becoming more able fin- anciers and the banking industry more competent. The vision of the builder is crowding out the spirit of the pawn, broker. A light has been turned on new world of investment and no usurer ever received as large returns. sive bankers, who made loans to- uplift industry. The bankers have always been liberal city builders, but. they are now building agriculture. I
 A Dollar With Soul.
 It is refreshing in this strenuous commercial life to find so many dol lars with souls. When dollar is ap- preached to perform task that does not directly yield the highest rate of, interest, we usually hear the rustic of the eagles wings as it scars up ward; when dollar is requested to return at the option of the borrower. it usually appeals to the Goddess of Liberty for it's contractural rights; when a dollar is asked to expand in volume to suit the requirements of industry, it usually talks solemnly of its redeemer, but soul material has into the vaults of our banks and rate, time and volume have & new basis of reckoning in so far as the ability of some of the bankers permit them to cooperate in promot- Ing the business of farming. -.

The sows which are to bring pigs this fall should be kept on pasture and forage crops as much as poss- ible. These afford cheaper rat- ion, exercise, fresh air and plenty Of sunshine. Alfalfa, clover, cow peas, and rape are excellent pasture crops for hogs. It is not necessary to make the brood SOW fat, but she must be kept in good, thrifty condition. Exercise is necessary for the production of vigorous off spring and easy delivery and can be obtained by the pasturing system. G. w. Barnes, U. of A. Agr. Ext. Ser.

A yard for a few cents will save you from facing the indifferent or worn paint at the base of the dish closet, shelving and, besides, make cleaning easy and gratify- ing. The inside window ledge of the kitchen and the bathroom treated in this way will be con- ducive to beauty and cleanliness.
 A strip along the wall beside the sink will catch spattered drops of dishwater or trainings and may be readily cleaned with a lightly soaped cloth rubbed over the surface.
 A stretch of oilcloth above the japanning about the range will catch any spattering grease, the vapor of steam or the blackest of escaping smoke, which can then be washed off, though here one of the coarse cleansers may be necessary to restore the pris- tine whiteness.
 A yard of wide oilcloth at IS or 20 cents will cover the top of a kitchen table with some to spare. A length of few inch es more of the scalloped kind will render the tops of the washtubs slightly and convertible to table uses for a nasty meal for one or two. The top of the refrigera- tor covered in this way will be taken as a pledge of the sweet, clean interior below.
