Drink and Bullet Stop
Rosalind S Confirmation
Mother Dead; Father Murdered; Her
Frock Unfinished

CA little story about whisky from
Chicago Tribune)
Ten-year-old Rosalind Winkel did
not recite her Sunday school lesson
at the German Lutheran Church
around the corner, and the white COM
nunion dress her mother had been
sewing on lay unfinished beside the
| forgotten prayer book. She was un-
der the care of the police matron at
the Hudson avenue detention home.
Max Winkel, jovial, rudy faced
customer of Michael Fabian's saloon,
at 2044 Southport avenue, and during
the week hosting engineer for A.
Finkel G. Sons, 1926 Cortland street,
spent the day in cell at the Halstcd
street police station. ee .sa3st
Mothers Body in Morgue
The wife and mother, Mrs. Marie
Winkel, lay dead in west side
morgue. Max killed her with a shot
gun Saturday night in their home at
2l37 Southport avenue. He told the
story last night to. Lieutenant James
Walsh and Detective Sergeants Will
liam Judge and James P. Mulcahey
after being INTERCEPTED for Is hours.
Saturday was pay day. He quit
work about 3 O'Clock in the afternoon.
went to the saloon, and remained there
until 9 o'clock. Mrs. Winkel came
over to ask him to come home. They
quarreled. When he arrived home the
quarrel was renewed. Blows were
struck. Both ran for the shotgun,
which was i'll a clothes closet. He
reached it first. They struggled for
possession of it. And then came the
discharge. He tried to kill himself
with the other barrel but missed fire.
Mamma Didn't Forgive Him
The little daughter was visiting a
neighbor on the first floor of the
building occupied by the Winkels
She came upstairs in time to see her
father kneeling beside her mother.
She heard him say
20, mamma, forgive me-"
"But guess mamma didn't because
/ didn't hear her say anything" she
told reporter last night at the deten-
ton home. And then the matron took
the reporter aside and explained that
the child did not comprehend what
had happened.
Daughter Aids Confession
Winkel did not confess until the po-
lice brought Rosalind to the station
and had her tell her story in his pres
ence. 1t was after she had told of en-
tering the room where the murder was
committed and of hearing him ask
her mother to forgive me" that he
broke down and confessed -
And that is all, save that there will
be vacant place at the bar of the
Fabian saloon for many pay days,
while the white communion dress lies
unfinished beside the forgotten prayer
book.

On September 9, 1000 kilograms
protesting against stopping the manu-
facture of beer were received by the
Food Administration. All were from
plants in eastern states, all were word
ed about the same and most of them
were signed by officials of labor or
carnations. Very apparently this was
another scheme of the brewers to line
up labor for their business. No pro-
test against Prohibition comes from
working men in dry territory. They

An article in the constitution of the
state bar-tenders' union prohibits
their holding convention in a dry
city. This made it necessary for them
to change from Bloomington to Pc

trip, if the organization does not either
disband or change its constitution.

CRAWFORD RESPONDS

The figures from the thresher re-
ports prove that Crawford county
farmers responded to the United
States call for more wheat last spring.
The wheat threshed up to October 1st
was 432,466 bushels. County Agent
Quist thinks the total number of bush
els of wheat raised in Crawford coun-
ty will exceed 100000 bushels since
eight machines had not reported for
September, and several machines
have considerable October threshing
to do. -,. d. ~: ~
The largest wheat crop raised dur.
ing the years previous to- 1918 was
in 1913 when 209,511 bushels of spring
and winter wheat was produced. That
year there were 22S7 acres Of winter
wheat which averaged POL bushels per
acre. r., z. 2sa.g. t5 tls
The farm bureau Office has not re.
ceived the exact wheat acreage for
Crawford county for this year. Coun-
ty Agent Quist estimates the acreage
at $4,000 acres, which is about three
times the county average.
The average yield per acre is about
10 bushels. Several fields have made
from 35 to AZ bushels per acre. The
lowest yields come from districts Sc
verely damaged by hail last spring.
Marquis wheat has been the most
popular with the farmers. However,
some of the men who raise wheat ev-
cry year stay with the other varieties.
tBaer Bros had 20 acres of early Java
which yielded 35 bushels per acre.
The winter wheat yield per acre this
year will just about equal that Of the
spring wheat average. .aSs5 y,
