A. M. Curtis, who is milking ten
choice Jersey cows in Paris, reports
that eleven hogs to which he gave
plenty of skim milk and ground bar
ley, recently scored a gain of CT lbs.
a piece in 10 days. He keeps enough
hogs all the time to consume all the
spare milk from his herd and says
they thrive better with milk as part
of their ration than on anything else.
Instead Of complaining about butter
fat bringing only 45 cents a pound,
Curtis says it is more profitable at
that price, with feed so much cheaper,
than at 60 cents last winter. He says
he could sell all his fresh milk at so
cents a gallon but would rather
ket butter or butterfat than to bother
with delivering it over town. More
dairy cows, he thinks, would solve the
tight money problem with men of
small means in a county like Monroe.
Paris Appeal.
WE regretted very much to notice
that Audrain county though touching
Boone county where the Missouri Uni
versity is located, had no entries in
the great shows of Farmers Week
which has just ended in Columbia.
Audrain should be represented not
only in the corr shows but in the
other exhibits. We are a great agri-
cultural county and produce corn AND
other grains as well as stock that can
compete and win from the best In
Missouri. The Mexico Chamber Of
Commerce should plan NOW to coop
crate with the farmers in arranging
entries for Farmers Week in Column
bit January 1922. This is another
method Of spreading the fame Of Aud

Defense of Brooklyn Woman Who Slew Physician Nov
Having Her Sanity Investigated-She Claimed
Victim Wronged Her.

New York. Dec. 17.-Counsel for
Mrs. Lillian Raizen, who shot and
killed DIR. Abraham Glickstein, her al
legged betrayer, in his Brooklyn office
last Saturday night, conferred today
with four alienists, who have been ex-
amining the woman, to decide upon
course of defense.
Meanwhile they have revealed the
identity of the mysterious man. in
the case is Albert Bradley, 60-year-old
waiter. 1t was Bradley who met Mrs.
Raizen at the pier when she arrived
from the south on the day before Doc
tor GIickstein was killed, and who took
her to the hotel where she spent that
night.
Asked Waiter to Meet Her..
Bradley became acquainted with
Mrs. Raizen when she worked in
shirt factory and took her meals in
restaurant where he was employed
He said that she had befriended him
on various occasions.
He produced two letters which she
had written him while in Florida
They referred to her being i'll and suf-
fering from many troubles" The
second one asked him to meet her at
the pier when her boat came in.
She Talked Wildly.
L met h6E last I1udy
he said 1--WE sat on the ship and
talked two hours. She talked wildly
and incoherently. She told me that
the cause of her long suffering was
man, who many years before had
wronged her. She did not name him
then. She was thin and drawn, not
like her old self at all. I took her to
her hotel and then to lunch.
"She asked me to call at the hotel
again Saturday afternoon and 1 did
so. We went to lunch and she again
talked wildly. This time she told me
that Dr. Glickstein had wronged her
but she did not say that she intended
to seek revenge or that she had a
revolver
Phoned 81 Shot Him.
"I tried to persuade her to go home.
She said that maybe she would go
home that night and promised to call
me up. At $50 she telephoned me
but 1 could not understand what she
was trying to say.
"A few minutes later she called again
and said, I have shot him. Then
she hung up. I went to Brooklyn to
make inquiries about her but it was
after II o'clock when 1 got hold of
her father and related what she had
told me. 1 did not go with her to
Brooklyn and have not seen her since

WARNING
Mayor COrwine Urges TOpekans
to Guard Their Homes.
Extra Policemen Put on to Pre-
vent Crime Here.

A formal warning to householders
in Topeka against the crime wave
which is sweeping the country in the
form of an outbreak of burglaries and
robberies. was issued this morning by
Mayor Herbert J. Corwine.
Mayor Corwine urges Topekans t.
take all possible precautions in their
own homes, against robbery.
I'VE are to put on extra policemen,
and the police department is now
working night and day for the pro-
lection of the homes of Topeka. Per-
sons themselves, by being careful in
their own homes, can do much to pre-
vent thefts," Mayor COrwine said.
Increase in Number of Thefts.
The crime wave hasn't hit Topeka
as hard as it has hit other cities-yet.
But this winter there is more unem-
ployment than we have had before,
making for more thefts."
Mayor Corwine paid special atten-
ton to the drug addicts, in his state
ment The number of drug addicts
in Topeka and in the country gen.
orally, is steadily increasing, he de-
clares.
And the drug addict will not do
useful work. He will steal" the mayor
says.
The mayor has been often in con-
sultation with Chief of Police Guy A.
Swallow, during the fall, in making
efforts to avert a crime wave in To-
peka.
'W want to go thru this winter, If
possible, without the effect of the
crime wave which has hit other cities
the size of Topeka" he declared.
'The citizens themselves can help
US to do this by exercising care on
their own part-in their homes and
on the streets"

Governor Allen has made personal
and special appeal to Kansas citizens
to support the work of the Near East
Relief during the Christmas season.
In an open letter to Kansans the gov
ernor says:
"At this season of the year the
thoughts of men and women every
where in this wonderful country of
ours turn to our little children. We
are planning how we can surprise
them on Christmas morning and bring
joy to their little hearts.
''In sharp contrast there are today
over one hundred thousand little chill
dren in the Near East Relief or
phanages who cry not for toys but
for bread. They want just enough
to take away the singing pangs of
cold and hunger. They are the or
phan children of the oldest Christian
nation in the world-hungry and cold
thru no fault of their own. We face
the solemn fact that they will die by
the thousands this winter if Amerf
can relief is withdrawn.
Reliable Americans, just returned
from Armenia, tell of pitiable condi-
tions. AS the statements of their sore
need now have become known, good
men and women in every state are
planning to send them Christmas gifts.
Our people have already given help.
Let US all increase our help to them
so that We may gladden. additional
hearts this Christmas. Being fully
aware of the ready sympathy and
tender pity of the citizens of this state
and having been deeply moved person.
ally by the unparalleled suffering and
the genuine need of these little ones
overseas, I take the liberty Of strongly
recommending this worthy cause to
your consideration.
You do not wish 70 quit when what
remains to be done in relief is small
compared with what has been done.
Neither do you want to lose the spirit
ual satisfa ction that will come from
seeing the thing thru in character
istically thoro American fashion. The
glamor of the war has gone. Real
love, real vision and real sacrifice are
called for now as never in the Near
East.
you can feed one of these children
for only IS a month. My I suggest
that insofar as you are able you join
with US in the completion of this task.
which blesses every giver? May I
urge further that you respond as you
would like to have others respond If
your children were similarly situated
