The late Mrs. W, j. Somers wrote
the following poem not very long be

to the thought that lives in every
mothers heart and shows the hope
that gives life to the mother love.

And heard me tell of what some day

From me they learned that in the

There is cruelty, selfishness and pride.
From me they have learned the wrongs

FROZEN POTATOES

Frozen potatoes are not necessarily
spoiled, says the Literary Digest, and
goes on to quote the Revue Scientific
que, as follows: THE potatoes must
be dried-that is TO say, the greater
part of their water constituent must
be removed, to prevent decomposition
which takes place very rapidly after
they have thawed out. The oven
should be heated as for baking bread.
Then. when it has reached the neces-
sary temperature, which is easily

toes are put in, cutting up the largest.

Of Two With Axe

ders Father and Daughter
at Hathaway, NY

ROCHESTER,, April 27.-Earl Austin.
a farmland, was captured at Cheshire
this morning by Canandaigua police
and confessed that he had murdered a
farmer named MacMosher, and the lat
ter's daughter Blanche, aged eighteen,
early to-day. Both were killed with an
axe at the MacMosher farm on the
Rochester road, near Hathaway. Austin,
who is forty years old, formerly worked
Ior the farmer and had been discharged
tor paying unwelcome attentions to the
girl.
According to Beulah Debow, fifteen
YEARS yea , old, Of Chicago, who is visiting
the MacM oshers, she and Blanche Mac
Mosher, returned home shortly after
midnight from a party at Victor and
found Mr. MacM Mosher dead on the floor
with Austin standing over him with a
bloody axe.
Shouting that he intended to kill the
entire MacMosher family, Austin at
tackled Blanche and killed her He then
told the Debow girl he was going to
Victor to kill Mrs. MacMoshcr, who

until morning, when she would go with
him. She says Austin agreed to this
plan and early this morning thcv

Reserves Hurled
Into New Liberty
Loan Campaign
Boy Scouts of America to
Make House-to-House
Canvass in City

The Boy Scouts of America yester-
day entered the Third Liberty Loan
campaign as strategic reserves. Their
special job will be to uncover the po-
tential subscribers whom the other
canvassers have missed, and their aim
will be vastly to surpass the total of
$102,000,000, which they attracted TO
the last loan.
Every householder in the city will
be asked by the scouts whether they
have subscribed or whether they do
not feel able to take additional bonds.
Benjamin Strong, chairman of the
Liberty Loan Committee, in letter
to Chief Scout Executive James 4.
West, expressed the real Importance
that the other workers attach to the
campaigning of the Scouts:
This is war;" Mr.. Strong wrote,
lin which every one Of US, from the
youngest. to the oldest, who calls him
his country. The issue is too great,
the struggle too desperate to exempt
the least of us from the duty of doing
what lies within his power to. help
toward victory. But when this duty is
regarded in the proper light it becomes
privilege, and we are sure it is in
this light that the thousands upon
thousands of your fine boys in this
district regard it.
"There is every evidence from the
results they have heretofore obtaineu
from the earnestness and courtesy of
/ their manner in going after these re-
suits. from the enthusiasm and chival-
ry. of their attitude toward their i'm
portant task, that their hearts are alb
sorbed in it. They are true crusaders
these young Americans, the hope OF our
race. Their devotion and industry in
this hour of trial in this vital work OF
collecting money for their government
is a splendid augury of what we may
expect from Z the next generation of
American men and women. 1t has
touched us all.
"1t.is important that they should re-
gard every small subscription obtain
able exactly as well worth their efforts
as the larger ones. Often the smaller
ones are harder to get because they
represent greater sacrifice and, when
turned in, greater effort on the part
Of the Boy Scout who canvassed them.
IT is the quantity of such subscrip-
tions, rather than the grand total Of
money raised. which in the last analy-
sis will measure the service of our pa
triotic boys"

Wife and Housekeeper
Mysteriously Disappeared
at Lakewood
To Dig Up Premises
Confessed Burner of Girls
Body Had Entanglements
in Jersey Town

LAKEWOOD, N. j., April 27.-Labor-
ers under the direction of County
Prosecutor Richard C. Plummer to-day
will begin search of the house, barn
and adjoining premises occupied in this
city by Helmuth Schmidt, who COM
mitted suicide at Detroit after con-
Tossing to burning the body of 9
woman. A preliminary examination OF
the premises was made to-day by Mr.
Plummer after the receipt of a telc-
gram from the Detroit authorities
Two women are known to have been
entangled by Schmidt while he lived
here. When he first took up his resi-
dence in Lakewood he was accompanied
we're known as Mr.. and Mrs. Braun
With them was Gertrude Schmidt a
daughter, who is now seventeen years
old.
Shortly before Mrs. Braun disap-
peared, q second woman, known as
Margaret Darsch, went to live with
the Brauns as a housekeeper. Ger
trude Schmidt is said to have declared
there was love affair between her
father and the Darsch woman.
NO WOuCA DlSdPpCAA CN
When Mrs. Braun disappeared
Schmidt is said to have explained her
absence by saying she had gone back
to her home in Germany. No trace, or
so far as the police have been able
to learn, any explanation has been
found of the Darsch woman, who sud-
denly dropped out of sight. The only
light the daughter has been able to
throw on her disappearance is the
statement she declares her father
made, that. "she had married and gone
to Denmark"
Mrs. Adele Ulrich Braun, who is now
in Detroit, married Schmidt, or Braun
in 1914. So far as can be learned, she
did not know either Of the first two
women.
When Prosecutor Plummer inspect
ed the premises occupied by Schmidt
or Braun, he found there was an ole
we'll on the place which had been GOV.
cred over and on top of which a kitchen
had been built. The cellar of the
house, he learned, had been cementec
while Schmidt lived there.
An inspection of the barn, directly
in the rear of the house, disclosed the
fact that in one corner of the dirt fool
there was a space Of about fifteen feet
square somewhat lower than the rest
of the floor. The spot has every ap
pearance Of having been dug up at one
time and subsequently having settleo
when it was filled in.
To Dig Up Barn Floor
This part of the barn floor will be
dug up Tomorrow The kitchen floor
will also be removed so as to permit
search being made of the we'll, and
the entire cement floor of the cellar
will be taken out.
1t was learned here to-day that life
insurance policy for $4,000 had been
found among Schmidt's effects in De-
troit. Mrs. Adele Ulrich Braun, OF
