Insurance Mans
Argument ITS A
Postum To Rout
S. N. Dormitzer Captures
Animal on Bloomfield Road
After Trying to Coax it to
Crawl Into a Pillow Slip.

S. n. Dormitzer, insurance man and
motorist, unintentionally Went possum
hunting in his automobile Ia evening
and returned with one mouse colored
animal, which he overlook and cap
tured after an argument on the Bloom
field road.
Mr.. Dormitzer has spent all but six
months of his life in st. Louis and Chi
cago, and never before got closer to a
'possum than to look at its photograph.
He and Mrs. Dormitzer and a party
of friends were returning from trip
out on the Dutchtown road, and had
just bowled down the hill which runs
past the iron gate leading to the
Houck country home.
The automobile lights spotted Old
Br'er POssum at play in the road.
Dormitzer saw it as soon as the rays
of light began shining on the animal,
and he stopped the machine
"Wow! What you 'spose that crit
ter is, Sadie?" shouted Dormitzer to
his wife.
Mrs. Dormitzer gazed silently at the
animal for a moment, and then ex-
claimed: "Why, that looks like one of
those large owls"
"Umphw he replied. That's a
prairie dog. 1 believe I'll catch it."
Old Br'er 'Possum sat on its haunch-
es and looked at the glazing lights in
apparent amazement, as the insurance
man climbed out of the machine and
approached as nonchalantly as if he
were preparing to write a policy.
doggy, doggy, dog g-g-y-y" CUR
gled Dormitzer as he stepped closer to
the animal, extending his hand.
Apparently it was the 'possum's first
experience with an insurance man. 1t
looked at Dormitzer curiously and
growled. The insurance man then re-
moved his electric spotlight from the
automobile and flashed it in the pos
SUMS face, believing it would daze the
animal and it would then surrender.
Old Br'er Postum blinked one eye
and then the other, but managed to
keep one optic focused on the insur-
ance man all the time.
"This thing looks to me like young
kangaroo, Sadie" remarked Dormitz
err. Bring me that pillow slip and
I'll sack him."
Mrs. Dormitzer tossed the embroid- |
cred piece of silk to her husband with
a warning to him not to venture too
close.
The insurance man opened the pill
low slip and urged the possum to go
in, but the animal, suspecting frame
up, stood pat.
"Life insurance is the safest invest
mcnt a man can make" said Dormitz-
er, forgetting for moment that he
was only talking to fur-bearing ami
mai.

Sour milk for g-producton was
given for a very careful test at the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton for a year recently when three
25-bird pens of White Leghorn pull
lets were fed in almost exactly the
same way except that one pen received
sour milk, another beef scrap, and the
third no meat or animal food what
ever. From the sour milk pen the sta
ton got 1926 eggs at a profit of
$28.26; from the beef scrap pen,
2,66S at a profit of $197S; and from
the no-meat pen, 1878 eggs at a loss
of $1.00 on the pen for the year.
On many farms the no-meat pen
would not have been regarded as los
ing money because the chickens live
mainly on waste grain about the barn
lot but on these farms the profits
would be SO much greater if butter
milk or sour milk could be fed that a
large possible profit is being lost, if
the chickens get only the grain and
grass and they can pick up. They may
pick up insects enough to keep them
from being on an absolutely no-meat
ration but part of the farm bust
ness that can return an average of
1922 farm on the thousands of Mis-
souri, farms Should be Systematically
fed On the right kind of food.
During the experiment only ordi-
nary good poultry-feeding methods
were followed. A little scratch feed
was sprinkled in the straw litter deep
enough to make the chickens take ex-
ercise in getting it. Water was given
in clean vessels and pan Of sour milk
kept in the sour milk pen. At noon,
dry mash was measured into the
trough and green feed was often given
at the same time, especially during
the winter. Two or three times week
the fowls were made to eat more of
the mash by mixing the dry mash
with some liquid to make a wet mash
which was fed at the rate Of a hand
full for every four birds.
At night, scratch feed was given
again and the birds were given all
they would eat to send them to roost
with full crops. This method of feed
ing keeps the hens busy all day, gives
them good appetites, and supplies all
the feed they will use. They should
eat about twice as much grain or
scratch feed as mash.
The Missouri results with White /
Leghorns are exactly in harmony with |
those secured elsewhere with fowls of |
various other breeds except that in
some other cases the milk-fed chick
ems have laid about four times as
many eggs as those fed no meat in
stead of only two or three times as
many as in the case of those at the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station.
The results of this test have recent
Y been published in Circular 79 of the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment Sta
ion.

The 'possum thereupon realized that
it was not among friends, and made a
dash for large tree. Dormitzer seiz-
ed it by the tail, yanked it back in the
road and then flashed the spotlight in
Br'er 'Possum's face.
Climbing back into the automobile,
DorElitzer made arrangements for the
'possum to accompany the party to the
Cape. The 'possum was hung on the
outside of the machine, suspended by
its tail.

FIFTH WARD CLUB
 HOLDS FIRST RALLY
Senator Klett Reviews His Work
 in the Legislature

The republicans began their fall campaign with a rally at Skritulsky S hall in Broad street. last night, under the auspices of the Fifth Ward repub- lican club, and the event was attend eG by about 200. Alderman William McCabe, president of the club, pre- sided and introduced the speakers, who were Councilman Joseph Tomas Sowski, Senator G. W. Klett, Repre- sentative E. w. Schultz, Mayor G. A. Quigley and Congressman James P Glynn of Winsted.
 Following the addresses cigars were passed and light refreshments were served.
 Klett's Stand.
 Senator George w. Klett, who is again a candidate, made his first pub- lie appeal for support in the coming campaign, referring to his record in the last legislature and promising to work for new legislation that will be of benefit to the rank and file and the city of New Britain. He received a rOusing ovation when he stepped to the platform and his audience gave close attention to his words Senator Klett expressed his determination to work hard for reelection and is con- fident that he will be returned. Speak, irg of his work in the last legislature he told of the introduction of bills which later enacted into law and are of value to the workingman.
 In the workman's compensation law he fought for and secured an import ant change, giving benefits for an in- definite period instead of thirty days as originally the law. He also favored a waiting period of eleven days in place of fifteen days before benefits can be received in case of injury and, promised to work for a greater re- duction If elected. The amendment to the loan shark law forbidding the charging of usurous rates of interest and the passage of law against pro- were brought about through his ef- forts.
 Other measures in the interests of the people for which Senator KIett said he worked were the amendment to the narcotic law, making it harder te, secure dope" and also a law re- Guiring that manufacturers of pill lows and mattresses be compelled to label their products to determine whether the goods are new or re- made He also assisted in the- pas sage of a law compelling public serv- ice corporations and insurance com panies to pay taxes resulting in addi- tional revenue to the state to the amount of S2,400,O00.

REALLY, IT WAS A CLEVER DISCOVERY
But Facts Take Some Of Romance
 from Press SherlOCk'S Yarn

Savin Rock, Sept. 29.-Celia Her mione Wallace, one time intimate of Hetty Green and in her heydey re- puted almost as great a financial pow CT, has locked her door against the world from which she chose to eftace herself fourteen years ago.
 For her own good reasons which certainly do not embrace really heavy reverses in her fortune-she had sought seclusion here in a little old-fashioned house perched on knoll beside the Boston Post Road. To her, being found" seemed tragedy.
 For her own good reasons, too, Mrs. Wallace had kept light burn ing in the window of her kitchen, the only one of the eight rooms she uses. Neigh bors have told each other, until the story stands accepted as true, that the light was here to guide homo a wayward son. But last night, at any rate, it did not appear.
 From the "queen of diamonds" as she was known in the sos and sos, Mrs Wallace has been transformed into veritable mystery woman.
 The never-failing light, her prefer ence for living by herself with dia- monds scattered about by handfuls; her eccentricities of dress and maM- ner had made her name @ byword for many miles around. Yet not un- til now have any thought to identify the hermit woman with the woman whose disappearance created such a furore and for whom the police of the nation were asked to search as recently as six years ago.
 That she is that same "queen of diamonds Mrs. Wallace admitted yes- terday. That was when neighbors showed her the newspapers. Owner still of much Chicago real estate, of twenty-five acres of valuable residenc zee property along the Post Road and of large part at least of the hoard of precious stones which once were the delight of Sunday supplement editors, her distress at the discovery of her hiding place was succeeded by aston ishment at the accompanying de- scription of her supposed traits
 It was John Tamberlyn and his wife, who have been perhaps her clos est friends, who showed Mrs. Wallace the newspaper stories. Betrayed into one admission, she turned, fled up the rough-hewn stone steps leading to
 
 bay.
 What manner of woman the weath- erbeaten old house hides was left for neighbors to tell. They did describe her, infinitely, as she, was when she first appeared in Savin Rock, and as she had changed with the passing of years in her self-sought exile. They recalled snatches of converse ton in which she had given evidence of close contact with Mrs. Green, of the gold reserve; Edward Everett Hale, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Ward Beech CT, Frances Willard, Susan B. An thony, Kate Sanborn and Mary Baker G. Eddy. They told of her eccen- tricities, of her fondness for clothing her eightyyear-old body in raiment more suitable to eighteen, of her Spartan bread and milk diet, and of her sudden retirement from the con- gregation of a local church, when she had been a member of it only a few weeks.
 But nothing in their stories held a clew to the mystery of the Diamond Queens" personality conducted disap- pearance, or a hint of the course which lay behind her retirement

passage of the law compelling the railroad company to operate trains locomotive first and he fought against the passage of a law which would have made it possible to tax pipe lines crossing other towns. Such a law would have caused New Britain to pay many thousands of dollars into the treasuries of adjoining towns. He also worked to secure trolley service fer the northwest section of the city.
 Glynn Attacks Democrats.
 Congressman Glynn devoted his time to advocating the protective tariff and denying the claims of the democrats that the present prosperity Is not due to the war. The southern CTS, he said, are not interested in pro- tt ction to northern industries. They know they can sell cotton abroad and would go to Europe to buy manufac- tured goods if they could secure them cents cheaper than here. The claim that President Wilson has kept us cut of the war, the speaker also sought to refute, declaring that mo- body wants war with us He :.lso denounced the democrats for extrav- agance and spoke of the expenditures for armor plate and the national highway appropriation of $S5, 5,O00,000. Of this amount, the south, he said, will have to pay but $4,000,000.
 Councilman Tomaszews1i spoke to the audience in English and Polish and brief speeches were made by Rep resentative Schultz and Mayor Quig- ley. Mayor Quigley announced his candidacy for representative and ex- pressed the hope that the Fifth ward voters would support him as in the past, and Representative Schultz thanked the voters for supporting him two years ago and expressed the hope that they will come out strong for the republican ticket in Novemb Der. Others who were on the platform were: Tax Collector Loomis, Chairman E. N, Humphrey of the town committee Richard Covert, candidate for the legislature; Alderman Albert Ander- son and E. N. Pratt of the school board.
