''MEN AREFOOLs, "sAYs WIDOW
Then She Is Fined $1,000 for Trap
ping Mate Seekers


Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 25.-"Men
are such FOOLS" Belle w. Freeman, a
widow of 35 years, told Judge John G.
Pollock, Federal Judge. And then she
smiled sadly, as the court agreed with
her and without compunction fined her
$1,000.
1t was not husband she wanted, she
told the court, when she advertised for
a mate. 1t was the money "those fool
men" had. And it was easy to get. But
it was the way that Mrs. Freeman got
the money from prospective husbands
that made the trouble for her. She sent
out several ads for men who had matri-
money as a purpose. Then when her ads
were answered she answered, asking for
carfare that she might come to them.
Government officials found at least 20
men had sent "carfare. However,
Mrs. Freeman broke off correspondence
as soon as the "carfare' arrived.
But Andrew j. Hurst, owner of a
sawmin at Swift, No., didn t mind be-
ing fooled, but he did mind when it
cost him $25. jesse Lee, of Mahaffey,
pa, also took Uncle Sam into his con-
hdence, and then came Charles Thedal,
OF Bremen, COL, with call for help.
Mrs. freeman was arrested and in
d1cted by Federal Grand Jury in
Wichita, Kan, last September. She
was released ON $3.50 bond. She was
not heard from again until she was ar
rested at Shawnee, Okla, a short time
ago.
Judge Pollock fined her $500 on one
count and $3.50 each on two other
counts of using the mails TO defraud.

TWO PLANTS RESUME WORK
Need of Men for Employment Given AS
Reason for Opening

Danville, Jan. 25.-The Danville
Stove and Manufacturing Company and
the Montour Iron works of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Iron Company,
will resume work this week.
Ii. t. Hecht, general manager for the
Reading corporation, said there was no
reason for the factory resuming at this
time other than that the men needed
the work, as the iron trade conditions
are not good.
According to Alexander Foster, gen.
eral manager for the stove concern, the
same is true in that trade, and he does
not look for much Improvement before
March.

EAGER FOR GROUND HOG DAY
Every Other Prophecy of Early Spring
Making Good to Date

Woodbury., N. j., Jan. 25.-Farmers
are anticipating an exceedingly early
spring, hundreds of acres were plowed
last week and tree trimming and grape
vine pruning have been pushed along.
1t has been very open winter and
farmers have their heavier fertilizing
work all done. Only for week have
the streams been frozen so that boats
could not be operated, so that the
average farmer is away ahead with his
work.
The goose-bone prophecy has held
good this winter, the supply of nuts
for squirrels was not large, and now
all that is awaited to make sure that
spring will be early is the antics of
the ground hog on February 2.
