SHOWS JURY
HEB SHIN AND
WINS THE CASE

shin-bone shaped like the edge
of barrel stave was the principal
article of evidence in police court
at Wheeling in peculiar case upon
which Judge John S. Ritz was asked
to decide. The bone was clothed
with flesh and blood and prior to
the time it was admitted as evil
dence was covered with brown silk.
The owner of the exhibit was q
young foreign girl, Miss Mary Kali
poski. She alleged that Felix Car
parski. the defendant in the case,
had taken a flying kick at her fol-
lowing an alteration.
The evidence was conflicting up
until the time when it became nee
essary for the complaining witness
to clinch her case. The Kalposki
shin was then exposed. 1t was all
''goot printed" and made the charge
against Carpaski absolutely irrefu-
table.
1t was the general opinion that
had the shin-bone been as straight
as a shin-bone ought to be, the
kick, would have gone at least four
inches wide of the mark
The court took the view that
Carparski couldn't possibly have
known that the woman was bowleg-
ged and therefore fined him only
SO and costs.

POSES AS CORSET|ER
MAN FLEECES WOMEN
Masquerades As Female In
Huntington.

Several of Huntington's exclusive
society women have been nicely Ia
ken in by an unknown person OF
male persuasion masquerading as
woman who posed as a corsetier,
dealing in custom-made stays of the
most exclusive kind and the high
est quality.
The pseudo corsetier went to
that town a month ago and abided
there for nearly two weeks. During
that time "she" secured entree into
the most exclusive circles because
of cher" winning personality and
the exquisite line of corsets "she"
had with "her" as samples Of what
all might expect if they gave their
order and paid half OF the price
down.
The "corsetier" was kept busy.
"Her" visits, however, included only
the most exclusive homes, where
"she" measured the women folks
and collected a deposit Of 50 per
cent on all orders taken.
Just to what extent the women
folks OF Huntington were mulcted
no one there can say, as nearly all
OF those victimized will not talk.
When the corsets were not deliver
ed within two weeks as promised,
an investigation was begun which
disclosed the "corsetier" to have
been a man.

WALLACE GIVES WARNING

Secretary Of Agriculture wallace
is quoted as asserting that prices OF
farm products are back to pre-war
levels while farm wages are ABOUT
100 per cent above pre-war scaies'
as also are factory and railroad wag-
es. The figures given are certainly
not far from correct, and they IN
dictate a deplorable state OF al
fairs. We are trying to get people
shack to the farm" but there is ev'
erv inducement to keep them away
from the farm after producing ms
crops of the season Of 1920 at full
wartime costs, the farmer sold MI
nroducts at nearly pre-war prices
and although his costs for the yea
1921 will be double pre-war costs
he must sell at pre-war prices. IL
the meantime, city industries OF ev
cry kind maintain their abnorma
scales of prices and wages. In

There are alleged to be 3,Ooo,ooo
men out of employment in the cities,

situation is appalling, and Mr.. wal
lace speaks the truth when he says
that the farmer is on the verge OF
ruin and that farm prices must be
brought up or prices Of other pro
ducts brought down until normal re
lations are re-established. If there
