TWO WOMEN RETURN FROM PORTO RICO AS
 CREW OF STEAMER

< SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. IA (by Associated Press) ).-When the schooner Cornell P White arrives at Baltimore, Md, it will lose two women members of it's crew, Miss Georgie- belle Musser, of Denver, Colo, and Miss Jane Waters of Bonner, Kan sas, purser and assistant purser re- spectively, who until recently, were school teachers in Porto Rico.
 The difficulty of obtaining passage on any of the passenger ships, togeth- CT with the desire for adventure, were the reasons given by friends of Miss Musser and Miss Waters for their signing up as a part of the crew of the Cornell P White. They believed they would arrive home safely, soon- er or later, if they went on a schooner while there seemed to be no end of uncertainty when they could get away if they awaited for a regular passen- ger ship. So, after much persuasion, the skipper of the Cornell P. White, who has a daughter of his own in Bal timore, agreed to take them.

AUSTRIANS FORCED TO EXCHANGE WEARING
 APPAREL FOR FOOD

VIENNA, Aug. 14 (by Associated Press).-Only Americans of a genera tion ago who traded farm products at the crossroads store for everything from shoes to sugar can realize the extent of barter in Austria today. With bank accounts fat with currency and legislation impending for a con- pulsory levy on fortunes, the paper crown virtually is spurned by those who produce the necessities of life
 For eggs or butter, cheese or white flour, fat geese and ducks, pork pro- ducts and all the things that the Aus trian city dweller must do without the peasant wants something more valu- able than the paper constantly turned out by the Hungarian bank.
 Prodigious offers of crowns fail where a linen shirt, silk stockings (even much darned), rugs, musical in- struments, shoes and such things bring results. The story of how the bourgeois and poor nobility of Vienna have parted with wardrobes and furni- ture, their pianos and carpets, for food has been often told. Now everything is getting back to first principles in trade.
 Visiting a retired officer in his little country place the correspondent saw it work. The officer could not pay 800 crowns pair for gloves for wife and three daughters But he had three roebuck hides from animals he had shot this season. He exchanged them for two dressed hides. The village glover made them into gloves, taking in payment cider mutton and some veal from the little farm.
 Then came the problem of stockings, almost unpurchasable in Austria There were II sheep grazing on the place. Sheared they yielded enough wool to exchange for yarn sufficient to knit the family hosiery for the coming winter.
 The apple crop of this tiny estate has been mortgaged for grain to neighbor who has no fruit and the mil Ter will take his pay in toll. The host who entertained in the little cot tage now his home, filled with Amer ican and English periodicals, once trod the quarter deck of his own cruiser. A uniform stripped of ornaments and

MURDERED HER HUSBAND AND
 GOES FREE

BAYEAUX, Calvados, France (by Associated Press). - Self-confessed slayer of her husband whom she ad- mitted having killed fifteen years ago, Madame Huchez walked away from the local court house a free woman, the police commissioner powerless under the law, to arrest and arraign her.
 Madame Huchez and her husband in 1905 jointly kept the Inn of the Golden Lion on the outskirts of this town Their married life was unhappy, vio- lent quarrels often breaking the monotony of long periods of sulki- ness and mutual silence. Then one day Monsieur Huchez disappeared Madame explained that he had aban- doned her and eloped to America with another woman. She sold the inn and six months later left town.
 A vicious horse lashed out with both heels in the stable of the Golden Lion" few days ago. The kicking animal uncovered below the broken blanks of his stall an old rusty trunk. It contained the skeleton of a man. !. The police, remembering the disap- pearance of the former landlord, set out to find Madame Huchez, whom they promptly located in Grenoble. At their invitation she returned to Bay eaux.
 Cool and collected, she accused two former stable hands of having mur- dered her husband Both had since died. Encouraged, and wishing to press her success, she linked the name of one Montroy as an accessory after the fact. He is still living and was immediattly summoned. He ad- mitted digging hole beneath the floor of the stable and having placed there in, at Madame Huchez's request, large trunk which the landlady told him contained silverware and linen which she wished not to include in the impending sale of the inn.
 Madame Huchez broke down and confessed. The police took her at once to the local judge. He immed- lately discharged her from custody
 According to Article 637 of the Code the crime is outlawed, as no legal action or investigation had been taken within 10 years of the day the murder was committed.
 Before departing for Grenoble where she will resume her occupation Mad anne Huchez purchased a long, heavy black veil. For the first time in fifteen years, she was officially a widow.

WHAT WILL OUR BOYS AND
GIRLS DO THIS SUMMER?

1t is not natural for wide-awake
boys and girls to sit around with fold
ed arms during the summer. What
they want is action. They like to do
things, and do things they will. In
all of Gods creation there is nothing
that is blessed with a more abundant
supply Of life than are our young
Americans. They are bundle of en-
ergies which is continually and we
are proud of them for it.
However, the power that is bound
up in the activity of youth is two
edged sword and it is almost as easy
to use one side as the other. The
more life a boy has, the bigger man
or the bigger brute it is possible for
him to become. Just as in steam
engine, the power that is formed
must either drive the machinery, es-
cape into the air, or blow things up.
So it will be in our boys and girls.
It is there for good purpose, but it
must be guided. Its purpose is to
make the parents. the community, the
state and the nation proud that such
people live. If improperly guided it
is only natural that it bring grief and
shame to all concerned.
| The boy or girl who is under the
watchful care of n good father or
mother is greatly blessed. If that
father or mother supplies him with
work and play he is fortunate indeed.
However, there are some children in
this town who as summer comes on
will be supplied with none Of these
things. During nine months of the
year they are turned over to the
school and that institution takes care
of them as best it can. When school
is out they will be left to shift for
themselves. Some will fall into good
surroundings and go up to better
things. More of them will be caught
in the tide and will go down and
| down. All of these people deserve
the best. They really want the best,
but many of them will be unable to
find it alone. Will we as town and
a community be in any way response
BILE?
But the boys and girls who are with
out thoughtful parents care are not
the only ones who will suffer this
next summer. What plans are you
i men and women of this town making
for those children of whom you think
so much? You cannot keep them in
sight all the summer through Where
will they be when they are not with
you? Will they hive work to do, and
if so, will this work improve their
body, mind and soul? Where will
they play, and will this play be tool
for making bigger and better men
and women out Of them? In other
words, will the energy that is stored
up in the children of Missouri Valley
be used this next summer for turning
the machinery of better nation, will
it be allowed to escape into the air
without doing either much good or
much harm, or will it be left alone to
either damage or ruin everything with
