Of the American people who are able
to cook in their own households, can
not subsist perfectly well with the
use of less wheat products than ono
and one-half pounds week, and we
especially ask the well-to-do house
holds in the country to follow this ad-
ditional program in order that we may
provide the necessary marginal sup
plies for those parts OF the country
less able to adapt themselves to so
large a proportion of substitutes, In
order that we shall be able to make
the wheat exports that are asolutely
demanded of US to maintain the civil
population and soldiers OF the allies
and our own army.
We propose to supplement the vol
untary cooperation of the public by .
further limitation of distribution. and
we shall place at once restrictions on
distribution which will be adjusted
from time to time to secure as nearly
equitable distribution as possible.
With the arrival Of harvest we should
be able to relax such restrictions. I'm
til then, we ask for the necessary pa
tience, sacrifice and cooperation OF
the distributing trades.

ABOUT 100000 IN LOAN
indications Are That County Quota
10 BE 81 Per Gent Larger

Kansas will be asked to increase
her subscriptions to the fourth Lib
erty loan over those OF the third loan
by "a per cent, according to figures
announced today.
This means that Dickinson county
will be called on for practically $780,
600. Last fall the quota was 1884,
100. but the county bought 100000
Of Liberty bonds in that drive. So
that in this call we shall have to buy
only the same amount as before to
go over the top handsomely. This
amount is less than was earlier ex-
pected, as II was thought that the
quota here would be nearer to the
million mark
The campaign organization of the
county will be the same as in the
third Liberty loan drive-G. A. Rog-
ers, county chairman; c. NJ Harger,
secretary, and the War Fund organi-
cation as the basis Of the county or
ganization.

to show his card, which Bauchman
claimed showed that he was in class

thought had been stolen. Bachman
was arrested and placed in the Her

Three hours later Bachman picked

Dictated to Times Reporter by 1S-Year-Oid

Last Friday Mrs. Beckwith insisted that we
get married. She had kept saying that we n.ust
marry each other. told her that she was! too old
and that if married it would be to a young girl
Several hours later she placed iodine in cup Of
tea.that she gave me. in effort to poison me; i

milk and water and then went to the; Office Of Drr
Brown at Burnt Mills a. mile away, where 1 was
treated for iodine poisoning. ,t. - =
/, then returned to the house, reaching there
about 80 O'Clock. Mrs: Beckwith was sitting at
table with her head resting on her arms
As L came in she raised her head and seemed
sick and nervous. L asked her: What's the mat !,
ter with youi Did you give me any poisonf' +.
She told me that as would not marry her
we both should die and she said that Is'shopld
not have seen. DR.. Brown. The iodine, she said,
would either have killed me or have set me crazy
if had not taken the physicians antidote. :" ~

purpose of killing her - : a. - -.
As went back into the room where she was,
she looked up at mein!a sort of dazed way. I said
to her: "You. were atcoward' to give me Iodine
and she answered: "I did not want 70 see you go
away. Iswant. you tosmarry me-"
Then 1 hit her with the ak handle across the
forehead. She swooned and fell to the. floor. 1
made sure she was dead by hitting her again. 1.

Feeling sure she was dead, 1 placed "a towel

MORE TROOPSFOR
RUSSIA SUGGESTED

Increase OF allied military forces in
Russia fer policing. but-not interven-
tion, is being given serious thought
here and abroad.
F.. The disposition here is against large
scale intervention lest that should In
volve war on q rather big scale. The
whole problem, however, is likely to
crystalliEeE after President Wilson
has consulted with British leaders.
: Meantime. rumors have been cur
rent here that. another American di-
vision would be sent with four allied
divisions to Increase the Russian
forces. These stories, however. have
entirely lacked confirmation to date.
The situation along the east front
IL constantly growing worse. The
Bolsheviki are going forward. backed
by Germans. so that the Teuton power
can be retained along the border re-
gion.
This fact. coupled with enlarged
anarchy and disturbance throughout
Russia, leads to serious thought as to
the need of more military assistance.
One group declares Russia should
be left to work out her own saliva
tion. Another answers that this
means abandonment of the largest
fertile area in the world to another
year of disuse, while meantime boil
shevism spreads cancerously from the
Russian chaos.

increase of these forces to zoe, 1000
would permit the establishment Of a
representative government and Rus
sia's participation in the peace con-
ference before it closes. With local
government already established and
growing at Arehangel, with separate
states in Ukrainia, Poland, and Fin
land, the Bolsheviks hold only the in
terror. But 1t is imperative to eject
them from Petrograd and MOSCOW.
This oeuld be accomplished easily by
landing a large allied force at Reval,
