Princeton Students Cheer
 Wilson As He Casts Vote

Princeton, N. J., November 7.-Presi- dent Wilson voted here, casting his ballot shortly after O clock. He motored over from Shadow Lawn, which he left soon after o'clock.
 The President cast the fiftieth ballot in his precinct. He voted in the old fire engine house, where from the time he became connected with Princeton uni versity he has recorded his choice or election day. Because of the length of the ballot it took MT Wilson several min utes to mark it. Tn addition to voting in the presidential election, he marked his ballot for the state offices.

Do You Hike?
From Outing.


 Probably everybody knows that there is an increased amount of walking lately in New York city because of the anemic but much-advertised car strike. It is needless to add more than the fact that as a whole, the descendants of Father Knickerbocker do not enjoy it.
 Regardless Of how we may feel about walking on pavements, it is true that hiking" is growing in favor again. There is no better time for it than autumn. Summer dust is largely gone because Of the freshened and stiffer winds of the season. and the colors of fading trees and flowers are entrcncing beyond de- scription if one will only keep his eyes away from his feet. vistas are not so extensive as in spring because of the haze that shrouds the hlltops and even the prairies, nor are they so green.
 We are learning, however, that the far pastures are not always so attractive as distance and false teachings have made them seem The home things and the simple things easily within reach are the best things after all. Plain clothes of simple make but rough enough to with stand a few briars if we wander from the beaten way, heavy shoes for rest fitness. and a camera instead of rose- mary for remembrance are the twentieth century requirements of the Ponce de Leon who wants the Fountain of Youth.

The Chinese Woman's Feet

Jean Price in World Outlook.
 And then we came to China, land of that greatest torture to womankind-foot- binding. I've had so many people say to me, That isn't done any more, is it?' Bishop Lewis says that if you will travel one hundred miles in any part of the empire, you will get the idea that there are no unbound feet.
 A famous scholar told the bishop his theory of footbinding. For centuries Chinas men have said: "Woman's place is the home and collaborating her busi- ness." Perhaps we have China to thank for originating that remark. So the men conceived this brilliant idea of breaking womens feet-a sort of paddock on the door of the home It is a paddock indeed. No pleasure in moving-why not sit? And sit these women do, while the pigs wal low in and out of the door and the chill dren die like files of neglect and disease.

CLAIM HORSES POISONED TO
COLLECT INSURANCE.
With Arrest OF SeWal Woman Author.
tiles Relieve They Have Tn
eartled Big Conspiracy.

With the arrest of woman by the
name of Lilly Lewis, who for num-
Der of years has resided near SeWall,
Iowa. the federal and state author
tiles believe that they have unearthed
one of the most extensive schemes to
defraud, as we'll as one of the worst
outrages, that has ever been perpe-
trated in the country. Mrs. Lewis
was given preliminary hearing be-
fore Federal Commissioner j. c..
Hunt in Creston this afternoon on
the charge of using the United States
mails to defraud and was bound over
to the federal grand jury Her bail
was fixed at $1,000 which she was UNI
able to pay and was recommitted to
the Union county JAIL
The authorities claim that they
have evidence which leads them to
firmly believe that Mrs. Lewis is the
head of an organized gang which
has been operating the same scheme
in several states of the union. The
scheme, it is alleged, was to take out
insurance on fine blooded horses; af-
forwards to replace the good horses
with worthless ones, and then to kill
the horses by poisoning them or by
some other means, and collect the big
amount of insurance that had been
placed on the good horses, purport-
ing that the animals had been killed
by lightning. 1t is claimed that in
each instance the horses would be
found near some trees and that the
bark would be peeled from the trees.
Sometime ago, the insurance COM
panies, feeling that there was colos-
sal conspiracy to collect insurance
fraudulently, commenced an investi-
cation with the result that the special
representatives of the insurance COM
panies, the state authorities and the
federal authorities took a hand in the
matter. The authorities say there are
numerous others implicated in the
conspiracy, and that among them is
Mrs. Lewis husband, who disappear
ed soon after the investigation was
begun and has not been heard from
since. A close lookout is being con-
Quoted for the other persons believed
to be connected with the fraudulent
scheme and the authorities say that
more arrests Will be made before
long.

ance companies were in Creston to-
day to assist in the prosecution. At
