Conviction of Aged Woman Ends Criminal Career That Has Wor-
 ricd New York Force.

New York.-New York police are breathing sghs of relief today be- cause Miss Marion La Touche, seven ty-two, is in the Tombs awaiting sen tence after conviction on the charge of grand larceny.
 "Her conviction, said the district attorney, lends & criminal career which has worried the police of New York for thirty-five years. During that long period she has engaged sue cessfully in swindling operations which have baffied the power of the police to stop. Not since 1885, when she was sent to the penitentiary, has she been indicted or convicted until the present charge was made against her."
 She was convicted on the charge of obtaining S2O0 from a woman on the pretense of making a profitable in- vestment.

RED CROSS WORK ROOM.

People who hesitate about coming to the surgical dressing room on ac- count of not having been in Mrs. Keats class are wrong in doing so, because in order to have an instructor come to us class had to be formed, but after it was, anyone is privil- eged to work in the work room.
 The work is not hard to do and Miss Hooker is in the work room all day every day ready and willing to teach any and every one to make the bandarges, and she most assuredly needs workers.
 Ths work room belongs to every woman in this town and she must feel it her duty to come and make dress ings, which are so greatly needed.
 There is a double need for surgical dressings. They are not only used in the hospitals but on the battle fields, so you see how urgent the need is.

WAR SAVINGS AND
 LIBERTY LOANS

There is one phase of the War Saw ings and Liberty Loan campaigns that is not often considered. This is the fact that subscriptions to these funds are building up reserve that will help tide the people over the pe- riod of re-adjustment that must come after the war. The character of that readjustment is suncertain and problematical as the conclusion of the war itself. But it is inevitable, and it is certain that there will be radical transformation of all things-com- mercial, industrial, financial, and so- biological, ,-when peace brings about a return of international sanity.
 It is not as though the money were contributed as a gift-it is an invest ment in fixed security that will re- turn with interest to the loyal citizens who have loaned their savings to the government to prosecute the war; And instead of facing a popular defi- cit in state finances, our citizens will have a reserve upon which they can rely for their requirements.

SON TRYING TO SAVE
 FARM ABANDONED BY GERMAN ALIEN

Following is an extract from letter of a son of German parents in South Dakota, which has been re- ceived by the Alien Property Custo- dian:
 ssIsn't there some way to save a farm of 16O acres from father who abandoned it, his wife, and his chil- dren to hurry off to Germany just >hefore the war broke in Europe? :? Can't you protect it for us from fa- ther, who might return, sell the farm, and go back to his old fatherland that he bragged so much about? He must have taken the deed of the farm with him. We can't find it.. We know he took $5,000 which he had saved up in the bank. But don't you think the farm belongs to us children, and this country, and not to Germany?"

NOT ATTACKED LATELY.
Associated Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 Christiannia, Feb. 27.- Vessels sailing between America and Nor way outside the danger zone and no touching British ports lately have not been attacked by Germans proba- ply more in their own interests than for any special love of Norway. Germany for long time has not been able to send food to Norway and as far as known has not promised to do so even if Norway refused to accept American conditions for food export to this country.
 German vessels sailing to Norway must now have provisions, oil, and kerosene for the whole round trip and will only in exceptional cases be al- lowed to get small quantities of Nor wegian products.
 Some great Norwegian factories producing articles for export to Ger many are run by German coal oil and kerosene, as are fishing vessels obtaining fish for export to Germany.
 Norway at present receives from Germany steel and iron for construc- tion and is absolutely dependent on Germany for the import of potassium compound kainite, which is used ex- tensively for fertilizing.

WILLIAMS CLOSES A
 BALD KNOB STORE

Following many complaints from residents at Bald Knob, that the fed eral food regulations were being dis regarded by w. A. Hodges, who con- ducts retail and jobbing business at that place, and after Mir. Hodges had been warned, his store was ordered closed yesterday by Hamp Williams, federal food administrator for Ark ansas. Government authorities who had investigated said they were con- vinced that MT. Hodges violated the regulations to comply with the re- strictions on the sale of flour and sugar.
 This is the first instance where MT. Williams has been compelled to resort to drastic means to enforce the law governing the distribution of food.
 MT. Hodges was given his choice of closing his store for such period as the government may see fit, or hav- ing criminal charges referred against him. He chose the former and sign- ed an agreement to close his place end, when allowed to resume busi- ress, to conform to all rules and reg rlations of federal and state food ad- n1inistrators. He was permitted to eell two cars of fertilizer he had or f'ered for farmers. The penalty for violating the federal regulations may be ! fine of $5,000, or . prison term of two years or both
