KANSAS STUDENT HER MATE IN

HIS MAUD MULLER
uMUsAl ROMANCE TgD IN COURT
Young Woman Also Wins Suit for
Back Pay When She Still Was
- Farm Hand !

Wichita, Kan.-Maud Muller, ac-
cording to Whittier raked the meadow
sweet with hay. and forgot all about
her briar torn gown, and her graceful
ankles, bare and brown, as she won
the heart OF the Judge. But Mary l..
Bennett, a Kansas Maud Muller, won
her sweetheart while welding a pitch
fork and wearing blue denim overalls.
This Is the story that Mary told ana
she has husband to prove it. and she
made her word good enough for Il
court to order her employers to pay
her $50, which she had earned by max
ing a hand" in a bayfield,.
Mary Bennett, Is an orphan, with
sister living in Texas. At the death OF
her parents she went to live with
neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Jason,
in Sedgwick county. She grew to
young womanhood In her home, and
during the summer she was paid the
regular wages of farm hand. She
was strong and young and as good =,
farm hand rs the average man..
For three years Mary Bennett pitch
ed hay alongside the men. Last sum-
Iner Charles Lee was one of the work
ers in the field. The girl and the
young man worked side by side. He
was a college student working to
earn money to help pay his way thru
school They got along so well at their
haying and in the wheat fields that
| ee decided they would be exception
ely good teammates for life.
Lee was graduated early in May
and was offered a job at Wichita. He
first went to the Jason home and took
Mary over to minister's and they
were married. Then he went to work.
When Mary left the Jason house
hold she said the Jasons owed her
s76 in wages which they refused to
pay. So the young husband hired
lawyer and suit was brought In Judge
Grover Pierpont's court for the money.
Mrs Lee, as a witness told how she
had pitched hay IL hours a day, day
in and day out, for three years, and
tlushingly admitted to the court that
she and Lee had made love over their
p-tchforks.
The Jasons maintained that they
had helped rear her and had taken
care of the girl, when she was i'll.
Judge Pierpont decided that Mrs. Lee
should pay for care during her illness
and awarded her $50 in cash and told
Jason he. did not want any delay in
payment as the Young cOuple needed
the cash for furniture.

volyed In Case Of Impecunious
Adventures

London.-Hilda Sutherland, other
wise Mrs. Walker James, tall, at
tractive woman, said to be the daugh.
ter OF colonel, was summoned al
Bow street, on a charge of obtaining
money by false pretenses from Lieu
tenants in the army by offering to Sc
cure their advancement. She was
charged with obtaining $3.50. from
Lieutenant George Francis Walker
Yeats and 5000 from Lieut.. Jacob Emil
Hubert Zimmerman.
The statement of the prosecution
was that Mrs. Sutherland stopped at
Morley's Hotel, Charing Cross, posing
as Mrs. Walker James and that she
left after a month owing $50. During
that period, 1t was stated, she met
Lieuts. Yeats and Zimmerman, who
were staying at the hotel.
She was accused of representing to
Yeats, a man of some means that two
staff appointments were vacant that
Ter father was engaged at the war Of
flee and distantly related to the re-
sponsible head. There would be ex-
penses incurred in getting next, she
was charged, with saying, and men
toned $3.50.
Yeats, said the statement for the
prosecution, paid this $3.50 to Lieu
tenant Hartford, with whom the de-
PENDANT was associated, and there
were reports of progress, followed by
other payments by Yeats of SIS and
$50 and then an advance of $3.50 on
the security Of second mortgage on
Hartford's home. The woman, 1t was
stated, promised to repay out of an
expected inheritance of $500. Yeats
afterward, 1t was said sent $500 to
Hartford.
Hartford, said the prosecution, was
married, with children, and appeared
to divide his time between his wife
and the defendant.
Later, in order to show Yeats that
something was being done, Yeats was
introduced through matrimonial
agent, to a retired major general who
took him to the war office with no
result. No money was paid to the Ma
TOR General.
According to the evidence It was
declared Mrs. Sutherland was an i'm
pecunious adventures and Lieut.. Har-
ford is an undischarged bankrupt.
while her connection with the war Of
flee was entirely fanciful. Evidence
was heard regarding the case of Zim-
norman, who had hoped to obtain
commission in the Royal Naval Air
Service, and the hearing was adjourn
ed, with the accused woman on $500
bail

BRAZIL SUPPLIES WORLD
WITH A MEDICINE

u 10 chrysarobln, Used for Skin Dis
eases and 10 Dangerous to Handle
Bahia, Brazil7-The worlds supply
OF araroea, OF. goa, powder Is said II
come entirely from the state of Bahia
II contains the substance known al
chrysarobin, widely used In medicine
IN the treatment especially of parasit
ic skin diseases.
3 pulp or small solid masses in crew
ices Of the heart wood of the tree
known as "amargosa do matte" and
Is said to be morbid growth. The
trees are not cultivated. They are
from 80 to 100 feet high, and often at.
tain a diameter of more than three
feet.
To extract the powder the trees
which must have attained full growth
and development, are felled and split
open in order to reach the deposits of
araroba at their center. There is al
ways present very caustic liquid,
which is drained off. The damp pulp
and Jumps of araroba are then remov
ed, dried and finally powdered.
The pulp yields about so per cent of
chrysarobin. II occurs in a micro-chry-
stalline. odorless, tasteless powder,
very slightly soluble in either water
or alcohol. Chrysarobin gradually OK
idizes to chrysophanic acid and glu-
oose, and 1t is in the form of this acid
that the drug is generally used. 1t Is
administered in the treatment of &c.
zema, psoriasis, and in ringworm and
other similar maladies. The yield per
tree may be as high as 60 or 65
pounds.
The powder is exceedingly danger
Gus to handle, for IL 1t enters the
eyes 1t causes blindness, and burns
from the caustic liquid produce sores
that may incapacitate person for a
long period. Those engaged in the
work for any length Of time, although
protected by gloves and masks with
glass eye pieces, invariably lose their
hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, and
sometimes even become blind.

horse shook him as dog would a

Hopkinsville, K.-Farmers of this

that goats will eradicate sassafras

tent that the bushes are killed.

tirely free of sassafras, fertilized and

The goats will Craze as well on the
tender sassafras shoots as on grass
They also eat buds and leaves of the
larger bushes and even gnaw the
bark off the body of young trees. The
constant eating Of the buds in the top
of the bushes soon causes the plant to
die, even the roots dying. The old
method of cutting out the bushes with
an AK or grubbing hoe, was laborous
and productive of even more sprouts
the second season.
People who know anything about
the baneful effects of sassafras bushes
on the farm, and how nearly impossi-
BILE it is to combat them, will readily
appreciate the value OF the goats ser
vices.

 Opening prices, which ranged from 1-4 cents off to 3S cent up. with An- gust $1.6O to $1.60 1-2 and September $1.6O Is to $16O 1-2 were followed by decided gains all around and then a moderate setback.
 Subsequently, breaks became pro- nounced, result due in a consdera- ble measure to the fact that the en- tente allies had successfully taken the offensive na big scale. Prices clos ed heavy 3-4 to 1-4 cents net low CT. with August $1.55 7-S to $1.os 1-S and September $156 Is to $1.36 3-S
 Dry weather reports from Canada gave some independent strength to oats. After opening unchanged to 3-S higher with August 73 to 73 1-4, the market scored further upturns.
 Provisions rose with grain and hogs.
 Belief that export orders were about to be placed tended to uphold the market in the later dealings.
