MANY TURNED DOWN
FOR LACK OF FUNDS
Economy Home at Kings Creek Has
to Decline Four Hundred and
Eighty-two Admissions.

Declaring that the institution has
applications from 1872 children and
orphans for admission which it has
been compelled to decline because of
the lack Of accommodation for them,
the officers and trustees of the Econ
omy home, located at Kings Creek,
near Blacksburg, have issued an ap-
peal to the people of the state to as
sist them in paying off the indebted
ness of the institution and in enlarg-
ing it so that it may be able to re-
ceive some Of the hundreds of chill
dren knocking at its door for admis-
sion.
In a statement issued yesterday, it
IS declared that the financial strin-
gency has so greatly cut down the con
trlbutions to the institution that its
very existence is threatened. There
arc SO children in the home now
who would be thrown out on the
world were the home discontinued.
Statements from Governor Coopcr,
t Williams, secretary of the
oard of public welfare, and

of Columbia indorsing the

If those WHO save corn for. grinding
at home, or who send it to be milled,
would see that it is promptly dried
and stored in rat-proof, dry rooms or
cribs, the finished products would
come into far greater demand as ar
inexpensive, and suitable food to
serve as the starchy element in d
meal.
The potato crop for 1921 is esti-
mated by the department at 15,O0O,-
600 bushels less than the average for
the five years Immediately preceding,
according to the November forecast,
and 72,O00,O0O bushels less than the
1920 crop. This years crop is esti-
5-year average from 1915 to 1920 was
371 1888 900 bushels, and the 1920 crop
! was 428,368,000 bushels, estimated on
December 1, 1920.
TO offset this shortage of potatoes
there is surplus of 21,092,000 bu-
| shells of sweet potatoes over the B.
plus is unlikely to displace the potato
shortage completely in spite of the
encouragement by the department Of
! the proper conservation Of sweet po-
| tatoes, because the transportation
charges on watery products are heavy
in comparison with grains. The
freight transportation costs of rice
and beans are fairly comparable with
corn, but the rice crop for 1921 is A.
100000 bushels below the 5-year av-
erage, and the bean crop is also about
100000 bushels short Corn is
abundant, cheap, nourishing, palat-
able, and transportable; it offers the
best means of meeting these short
ages in other crops

WOMAN POURS OUT
STORY TO CRYSTAL
Devotee Of Ouija Board on Trial for
Murder-NIiss Clark Takes Stand
TELLS Of Shuffling Accounts to
Cover Shortage in Florida Post
office.

Orlando, Fla, Nov. 2S.-The jury
hearing the case of Lena M. Il. Clarke
and Baxter II Patterson, charged with
the murder of Fred A. Miltmore, To-
cal restauratcUr, today heard the wo-
mans story rccited under the spell of
Il crystal.
Unique in the annals Of jurispru-
dence, the woman, an announced de-
votce Of the ouija, had the crystal
steadily before her in order that she
could concentrate, as it was explained.
She held Miltimorc responsible for the
theft Of $4,000 from the West Palm
Beach postof1icc in 1918 which reflect
ed on her brother, Paul. Her attempt
to cover this shortage eliminated in
her taking $4,000 from a registered
package late in July Of this year
When postal inspectors waXcd warm
in their investigation she came to Or
lando, accompanied by Patterson, in
search of Miltimorc. AS to the killing.
Of the man she suffered a lapse of
memory. Her testimony exonerated
Patterson as to having any part in
the actual staying.
Elwcll Mentioned
Miss Clarke, who occupied the
stand for more than two hours, told
the same story she had given in a
signed statement shortly after Mlti-
more's body was found in her room
at a local hotel She mentioned Jo-
seph B. Elwell, murdered New York
sportsman, as having loaned her $685.
600 in 1918 because of his friendship
for her brother. To repay him she was
forced to start on a career of doc
toring the accounts. Her mention Of
Elwell's name shortly after her ar
rest caused Il furry in police circles
because of the fact that Elwells as
sassins have never been arrested. 1t
was quickly established, however that
the woman had not been north of At
lanta, Ga, since q young girl.
Her testimony in regard the theft
of $4,000 from the postoffic disagrees
with that of Postal Inspector w. B.
Brandon, who told the jury Saturday
of his investigation into the postoflicc
Irregularities. These irregularities be-
gan before she assumed charge as
postmistrcsses, he testified, but there
was never a shortage of $3S 600. The
shortages, he said, exclusive Of the
$4,000, totaled approximately $4,000
AS Miss Clarke ncarcd the end Of
her recital of events during her inter
view with AIiltimorc in her room he
took a flight into matters of spiritu-
alism. She remembered giving the
man drug, she testified, but from
then on her mind was a blank until
she met Patterson in the hotel corri-
dor and together they went to the Of
flee of Chief of Police Vestel.
States witnesses have testified that
no trace Of q drug were found when
an examination Of Miltimore's viscera
was made.
Miss Clarke climaxcd her testimony
with the assertion that "Aunt Sara"
taught her to read and write before
she was born.

LIFE AND CHARACTER READING
March o.


This birthdate gives great inven-
tive genius. but lacks the initiative
to carry out plans to their highest
success There is a tendency to
hold the personality down to a
merely mechanical sphere and 10 be
exacting I'm all matter OF detail
Children born on this date should
be given the highest possible educa-
tional advantages and every encour-
agement to succeed along the line OF
their native talent. which is both in
ventive and constructive and along
the modern lines OF industry and
manufacture.
They are apt to lack the higher
powers OF intuition. and the love OF
money is apt 10 dominate.
The governing planets are Jupiter
and Neptune and the governing sign
is Pisces When favorable condi-
tions prevail this birthdate gives
fame and honor in public and politi-
cal life.

War Victims Are Urged to
Take Vocational Training

Tho federal board Is a board for
vocational education and not Of Vo-
CatiOnal education. The board does
not itself teach the men. but rs only
for the education. IL would have
been too great an undertaking for
the government to have established
It's own schools TO teach the mary
vocations men would have called for,
according TO Mr.. Disney, so the
board makes use OF established and
credited schools and institutions.
lsending the men there as any man
In civil life would go, but the board
foots the bill Of tuition and supplies.
There are locally many examples
OF training In Tulsa. quite num-
ber OF men are attending the busi-
ness colleges. and In placement
! training" there are men in most Of
the better garages OF the city learn
! ing to become automobile mecnan-
| les in battery stations learning that
trade, In shoe shops learning the
making and repairing OF shoes. in
blacksmith shops, in picture shows
| learning the operation OF machines,
one man with the postoffice training
there, quite a number in electric
work, one training with the city in
the health department, several IN
power plant operating. two learning
oil chemistry with local oil concerns,
and quite a number OF other trades.
Wide Jibcrty of Choice.
There is hardly a limit to what
trade "A man can take up. The board
endeavors to train a man in what
ever line he wishes, provided his
physical condition will permit his
pursuing that vocation, and that his
education and previous vocational
experience make 1t plausible for him
TO take up the desired training.N
This work is divided throughout
the United States into li districts
The 14th district comprises Texas
Oklahoma and Arkansas. with the
district office in Dallas. Then ther,
