Burlington, April 25. y Mrs. Adam

81 This time she was caught in Spring

oeived here from the Illinois capital
city, and she Is now on her way back
90 Muscatine, to face the woman she
played the thick on, and incidentally
a minister and others whom she
swindled. Those who know Mrs. Mohr
1 best have no fears that she will blush
for shame when she faces the Musca-
tine people.
Mrs. Mohr, it will be remembered,
plays no favorites. Her list Of swim
die victims, includes police chiefs,
1ninisters Of the gospel, wealthy busi-
ness men, and some poor people who
could Ill afford to put a premium on
the venerable old ladys clever
crookedness."
This time Mrs. Mohr walks with a
crutch. Like all good actors and
actresses she alters her makeup from
time to time. All Mrs. Mohr did in
this latest mix-up, according to re-
ports from Springfield. was to mort

Mrs Mohr might reasonably suppose
that she was not familiar with the

provided Those who do know her
wonder how she managed to be
caught.
"StolS' Hotel at Clinton.
Mrs. Mohrs biggest deal was the
stealing Of a large hotel at Clinton. She
tried to emulate the deal here, but it
fell down. 1t was for the Clinton deal
that she went to prison. Her victims
are by no means few, and indictments
hold no terror for the venerable old
lady" The chief of police at Mason

TO DEMONSTRATORS
AND C0-OPERATORS

Miss Annie 7. Merryman, county
demonstration agent, has received the
following letter which explains itself
"The war in which we are now en-.
gagged requires the nation to produce
foodstuffs in abundance. To grow
foodstuffs is a necessary measure, il
we are to win. This fact calls upon
the farmers for energetic action asnC
fact has ever called.
In your county is a county commit
tee on Food Preparedness. We trust
that you have already identified your
self with this committee by helping
with the work that is being done in
your community.
County agents, both men and Wo-
men, have been turned away from
their regular demonstration work
and, by our direction are devoting a
large part of their time to the Food
Preparedness campaign.
"In most counties the county agents
are acting as executive secretaries OF
the county organization. They are ia
miliar with the county, and will if nee
essary give all Of their time to Food
Preparedness efforts.
"There is usually so much to be
done at time like this that few
agents can commence to do it all. No
agent can do the work alone. We So
licit your assistance to the end that
your county may do its full share. If
your county agent calls upon you for
help in the filling out of an informa-
ton sheet sent out by the Division of
Extension, will you not respond will
ingly and quickly?"
