M GUILTY OF MURDER
Granville Couple Must Serve Five
Years in Penitentiary for Death of
Little Margaret KOttke.

Walter Zimmerman and wife of
Granville, charged with the murder OF
Margaret Kottke, their little adopted

Sinkler, the we'll known Minot lawyer,
as special prosecutor, while D. j. o.
Connel of Towner represented the<ds
PENDANTS. The case was hard fought
all the wav thru. 1t was shown that
the little girl had nearly been starved
to death, but little wheat having
been found in her stomach when the
examination was made.
Evidence by the coroner was to the
effect that the child had been dead for
three days when the body was found,
it being the states contention that
he child's body had been concealed
somewhere and brought to the straw
found by searclfers organized when
child was missing.
One netgfDOf LeSCl1eQ CnaC Llm-
norman was present when the body
was found, and that just before they
visited the strawstack, Zimmerman
had said, something tells me that we
will find her in that strawstack," and
that when the body was found that
Zimmerman had said: ~ know you
will blame me for this, and that every
body will blame me-"
A child friend of the dead girl tes-
tilted that on one occasion, while WIS.,
iting the Zimmerman home, that Mar
garet Kottke had been severely pun
ished by Mrs. Zimmerman for eating
a piece of spoiled cheese.

TRAINING FOR POISE
BY H. Addington Bruce
y OIsE, you appreciate, is one of the fiji


y OIsE, you appreciate, is one of the fin
/ est qualities man woman can have.
You recognize that it's absence accounts
for much of thu unhappiness, nervousness,
and incompetent y so evident in the life of
our world today
You hope, therefore, that your little boy
will grow up 20 be well poised. Do you
merely hope this? Or are you rearing him in
such way that he is almost certain to grow
up we'll poised?
largely product of wise training in the
early years of life.
Men and women, it is true, acquire
poise even if they have been reared unwisely.
But the wiser their upbringing, the greater
the likelihood that they will be free from the
handicaps which the absence of poise in
wolves.
And one of the essentials in training for
| poise is to habituate child to be orderly.
Are you thus habituating your child?
| Do you, more specifically, insist that when
he is through playing with his toys he shall
put them away neatly? Are you teaching him
that everything has a place and should be
in that place?
Or are you making the terrible mistake of
cleaning up his litter for him, so that he
shall have no conception of system or duty
or responsibility?
Poise, furthermore, implies deliberateness
of speech and action. Your child, impulsive
and ardent, runs to you to tell you of his
doingS and pleasures. He splutters his words
explosively, in the fervor of his desire to
let you know what has been happening.
Do you think his spluttering cute? Or do
you, as you should, insist on his speaking
slowly?
If you do not you may unconsciously let
him develop into a stammerer. At best he
will be the prey of nervous excitability. And
the nervously excitab1e, as you must grant,
can hardly be called we'll poised
Have you, indeed, made any effort to ac-
custom your boy to what may be termed ere
poseful recreation?" Have you encouraged
him to rely on himself for amusement, in
quiet hours of reading, or looking at pic
lures, or developing his instinct for creation?
Going into the silence" is today a recog-
niZed mode of treatment for nervous disor-
ders Children accustomed to entertain
themselves without adult interference seldom
need such treatment. Bear this well in mind
and give your child at least an hour day of
undisturbed solitude.
GIN families where several children play
together as one thoughtful mother sug-
gests, ''too much cannot be said in favor of
a quiet hour, time when each child shall be
entirely alone, undisturbed by others.
eff the children are too old for daily
nap they can be given some quiet occupa-
ton or play. With olde children, and with
babies, too poise and self-control gained
lin the silence and the wise mother will
give herself as well as the children this hour
of rest
The first seven years are the decisive
years, eminent philosophers insist. So far
as concerns training for poise, none can
question the soundness of their claim.

TO FEED THE STARVING
CHILDREN
By DR.. Frank Crane

To the Literary Digest: Dear Sirs:6 l am
enclosing herewith a part of my weeks
wages to apply on the fund you are helping
Mr.. Hoover raise for the purpose of saving
the 100000 children of Central and South
eastern Europe from starvation.
In addition 1 am giving this letter to be
published in the newspaper in the hope that
others may see it and be moved to go and
do likewise.
l see Mr.. Harding sent you a check, and
I think I have as loud a call as he to share
in this wonderful work. Presidents have no
exclusive rights to help along. The poorest
of us have that privilege.
With fallen kings and defeated diplomats
[ have not ready tears Even when king
loses his job he usually has enough put by to
keep him comfortably.
Neither do the punctured vanities of nations
interest me, any other of the artificial
passions or humiliations of mobs.
But with the real sufferers from wars de-
vastating curse every human being must be
affected.
The real sufferers are of three classes: CD
wage earners, (2) women and CD children.
The children especially are guiltless of the
supercrime of war, and yet upon them war
sets his ruthless heel the hardest.
I am glad that America has been given by
Mr.. Hoover a chance to show it's mighty
heart.
One might gather from reading some news
papers and magazines, and hearing some poll
withdraw itself into the isolation of it's own
prosperity and let the rest of the world stew
in it's own bitter anguish.
If we can raise this twenty-three million
dollars you ask for it will go to prove that
we are not so inhumanly selfish some
would paint us.
1t will show our heart is sound, that we
recognize the claims of human brotherhood,
and that the fearful cry of starving children
comes to us not in vain.
Here's my small contribution. I only wish
1t were ten times much.
And I hope that from all over this coun-
try, from sea coast, plain and mountain, the
people will pour out such a Niagara of con-
tributions that you will be forced to cry
"Enough'
predict you will get more than what you
ask America has been sulking long enough.
1t is time for the tide to turn, and for the
real helpfulness and humanity of our people
to assert itself.

lions to the Literary Digest, New York City.

dren.")
