GOOD RESOLUTIONS

From the Independent, New York.
New Years day ought to come a
bout six weeks before Christmas, for
nothing more requires good resolu-
tions than Christmas shopping. We
suggest the following:
Do your shopping early; early in
the morning if possible as we'll as
early in the season.
Do not get presents and then de-
eide where to send them; first put
yourself in the place of the person
who is going to get the present and
think what he or she would like to
get.
The postal service is finding it
hard to handle ordinary mail. Do
not add to the burden by sending
bulky presents or packages careless
ly tied and directed.
Christmas is a holiday of joy; if
you permit it to become burden
there is something wrong with you
or your presents or the people who
expect them. Find out which it is.
Remember that many countries are
still starving this winter; return for
once to your wartime habit of deal
ing generously by the Red Cross,
the Near East Relief and other re-
lief organizations of tested honesty
and competence.

Marion, g., Jan. 1.-Although
President-elect Harding is expected

ELDERLY FARMER
DIES OF POISON
Wife and Young Man Taken t.
Jail-Jury Accuses Woman

Marion, Jan. 1.-B. Jones, an ell
derly farmer living on the CALI
wants ferry road about six miles
southeast of Marion, came to his
death last night about 10 o'clock as
the result of an overdose of strych-
nine alleged to have been admins
tered by his young wife with intent
: to kill. Lizzie Jones, the wife, was
taken into custody and is held in the
Marion county Jail on a charge of
poisoning her husband, according to
testimony which came out at the cor
oner's investigation. Mr.. Jones had
been indisposed and asked his wife
to fix him a dose of soda and salts.
She prepared ONE medicine for him
which he took. Shortly afterwards
he was seized whit violent pains and
believing himself to be poisoned, be-
gain to shout and scream in order
to attract the attention of some peo-
pie living nearby. At the time Mrs.
Jones gave the dose there was no
one in the house but herself, her
husband and their three little chill
dren. The noise made by MIR. Jones
soon attracted neighbors to the
scene and he told them that he had
been poisoned by his wife and when
Questioned by them she. is said to
have admitted that she, purposely
administered the overdose of strych
nine.
Witnesses say that she said she
had had the bottle Of. strychnine
over a year and had been saving it
to. poison her husband. Mrs. Jones is
rs years of age and has been mar
ried six years. Her husband was
60 years of age. It has been rumor-
ed for some time that the pair did
not get along well together. 1t is
alleged that Mrs. Jones states that
Jim Ammons, young farmer living
about mile north of Marion, gave
her the bottle of strychnine over a
year ago and told her to kill her
husband with it.
Ammons was arrested this morn
ing charged with accessory before
the fact and is held in the Jail here.
Mrs. Jones made no attempt to es-
cape and apparently no effort to
conceal her alleged guilt. The neigh
bors summoned Sheriff ]. v. Rowell
and kept her under observation un-
til his arrival. The coroner's jury
found the following verdict:
"B. Jones came to his death as a
result Of strychnine poisoning ad-
ministered by his wife, Lizzie
Joes."
The sheriff is in possession of the
bottle which contained the strych-
nine. It is the half ounce size and is
partially filled with powdered
strychnine. The bottle is marked
t.Poison," with the usual skull and
cross bones label,
