drug store OF William Deutsch. Mr..
Deutsch permitted the officers to go
through his stock and search LOT
lntoxicants. Alcohol and whisky

conditions.
Whine searching the basement of
the drug store perhaps two gallons

FORCE PAY FOR INSANE PATIENT
Pennsylvania Authorities Insist That
Bond Must Be Paid-One Man
Pays $1,000 Arrears.

"Delawareans will no longer be
permitted to place their insane wives
in Pennsylvania asylums and then
neglect paying the bills for the care
of the patients" a representative of
the Department of Justice of Penn
sylvania told Attorney General Syl-
vester D. Townsend, last week, when
he came here to arrange for the pros
ecution of several men in such cases
for non-support.
Attorney General Townsend not on
ly assured the Pennsylvania that his
office will aid in this work by prompt
ly honoring acquisitions for those men
but Mr.. Townsend assisted in locating
one Wilmingtonian who rather than
face publicity promptly paid over ST.
200 overdue in a Philadelphia institu-
ton for the support of his wife.
According to the Pennsylvania Off
Ger a number of Delawareans have
placed wives, or some other members
of their family, in these institutions
and for a time kept up their payments,
finally stopping payments altogether,
knowing that the institution could not
very well turn loose an insane pa
tient.

.sPROFITABLE PIGS NEVER
STOP GROWING'-SLOGAN

In an exhibit entitled "Pork pro-
duction," shown by the United States
Department of Agriculture at the In
ternational Live Stock Exposition,
Chicago, December to 9, the depart
ment gives the essential points for
raising swine economically.
Good breeding stock, proper mating
and careful feeding of the brood soWs
are all important, but point in hog
raising that should receive more at
tention, because it is often neglected,
is the necessity of keeping the young
pigs growing continuously from the
moment of birth to maturity.
Even before the pigs are weaned
they should have access to corn in
self-feeders as a supplement to the
sow's milk. AS soon as they are wean-
ed the pigs should be kept on full
feed, either by self-feeder or by hand.
Approved types Of self-feeders, hay
racks, through, and watering foun-
tains are shown in the exhibit. Prop
er feeds and exercise furnished to
vigorous pigs of proper type result in
hogs of market weight at about eight
months of age.
"The profitable pig is the one that
never stops growing from narrowing
to market" is good slogan for every
hog raiser.

AMERICA EXCELLS INDIA
IN MYSTERIOUS TRICKS

In a recent talk before the Cincin-
natl Rotary Club, Thurston, the fam
Gus magician, had the following to
say in regard to the much touted Hin
du Magic of India.
"On my first tour of India" said
the eminent illusionist, "at the sug-
gestiOn of the late King Edward and
with his assistance, 1 made an extern
sive investigation of the native magic
ians and their work.
"At great trouble and much ex-
pense I finally succeeded in gathering
together the chief magicians of India
at Calcutta. 1 engaged large hall and
had them perform all of their most
celebrated feats before me. In addi-
tion to paying liberal fees, 1 offered
reward of One Thousand Dollars
for every trick which could not fully
explain. Consequently, you may be
sure that 1 saw all of these wonder
workers" at their best. They were all
famous conjurers.
Their methods were plainly ap-
parent. Their technique was extreme
ly crude and simple. My youngest as
sistant was able to duplicate and ac-
tually improve their most difficult
stunts after viewing them once.
Il was both surprised and amused
when 1 found that many of the lead
ing Hindu Magicians had attended the
Chicago Worlds Fair, in 1898, some
as camel drivers, and that nearly all
of their best tricks were learned
there.
"I was unable to find one solitary
~,p, oorsa in, oil
after inspecting all that the ma
tive magicians had to offer, l, in turn,
gave a special performance for them.
To my astonishment, my simplest IL
lusiOns not only puzzled but frighten-
ed them. They sat through my pro-
gram in Open-mouthed amazement
after which several of them fled in
terror.
During the balance of my stay in
India 1 was looked upon as sort of
a supernatural creature and was fol-
lowed about by swarms of people ev-
cry time 1 appeared in public. In sew
eral places they regarded me as an
evil Genii" and started agitations
against my performances.
81 found both the far famed "LeVit-
alton" and the "Hindu Rope Trick" to
me myths, pure and simple, founded
in all probability, on the fairy tales
of ancient Indian fictionists. There
wasn't a single magician in the land
who even pretended to perform them.
I offered a salary of One Thousand
Dollars per week, with long con-
tract, to any man or woman, who
could demonstrate either to my salts
faction. Only one native had the au-
dacity to come forward. All he sue
ceeded in doing was disappearing with
Five Dollars which 1 advanced him.
Mr.. Thurston and his company of
thirty wonderworkers, will hold the
boards of the Playhouse, Wilmington,

night, December 18th with matinees

FAIR CONVINCING EVIDENCE
OF AGRICULTURAL ABILITY

A practically undeveloped agricul-
tural section, Nine Mile community,
in the central part of Johnson County,
Wyo., has convinced itself and its
neighbors that profitable crops can
be grown there, through a community
fair held in September, according to
reports to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. There are more
than 4,100 square miles in Johnson
County; it has two towns, one with
population of 1900, the other Of about
200 its agriculture has been confin-
ed largely to the production of live
stock under open-range conditions, an
industry extensive enough in the past
to place the county among the rich
est in the State Within the last five
years, however, because of severe
droughts and the fencing Of much of
the grazing areas by homesteaders,
interest has been aroused in more
diversified farming system. An agri-
cultural extension agent was placed
in the county in 1921, and through his
efforts a number of ranchmen, par
ticularly in Nine Mile community,
where conditions seem well adapted
to dry farming, have undertaken to
follow methods he advocates in culti-
walton of forage and grain crops. A
number of gardens also were planted.

art education, and when his family
learned of this they Sent him to Chi
cago, where he made rapid progress.
He went to Paris three years ago and
had just about completed his course
there when his brilliant career was
cut suddenly short.
Arrangements are being made by
his family to have his paintings that
are on exhibition in France and else
where collected and sent back to
Montana.
His stepfather and his mother, Mr..
and Mrs. Matt Michaelson, live on
