by Asserting His limo
ccncc on Operating Table
as Drug Takes Hold of
Hi, Mind.
BY MARGERY REX,

International News Service Special
Correspondent.
New York, June 1.-"H anyone
should ask you. l never killed any
body
Rutger Warder, helpless on an OPP
Grating table, sinking under ether,
said these startling words Start
ling, because he is a resident of the
death house at Sing Sing, con
dcmned to die fer the murder OF
Henry Feenor in 1921.
Warder was stricken with appen-
dicitis several days ago. He would
have to die, anyway pretty soon.
But every now and then the cleo
triG chair, a vile instrument of
vengeance, must be fed with human
flesh thrown into its embrace, Just
as the Minotaur was gorsed with the
bodies of youths and maidens.
Lest Warder die and cheat the
carefully-wired device Of death that
hungers for his body. they rushed
bim out to the prison hospital, where
ether made him say:
eff anyone should ask you, I never
killed anybody"
What Did Ether Do?
Nc" the question is, did the anae5-
thetic make Warder tell the truth or
did he merely utter the denial that
has been so often on his lips?
More than a year ago DR.. James
Cotton of Toronto, announced his
discovery Of preparation of ether
which comrels persons under its in
fluence to sreak the truth! Ether
following the Canadian experiment
was efliCaCiOus in q case in New
Jersey. Df. John Corcoran, of the
staff of St Mary's hospital, Passais,
administered the drug, while off
cials questioned and thus obtained a
truthful statement from a previously
silent patient.
This hysterical girl who had been
found wandering about unable to
tell anything about herself cleared
the mystery when ether loosened her
inhibitions and then hor tongue
Dr. Corcoran said of the drugs prop
critics;
"Etherization destroys the will to
withhold { facts; even though they
may be derogatory, to ourselves OF
Others.
Its effects upon the person, the
EFFECT, so to speak, upon the psyche
logical being, is to remove all in
ihibitions"
For all Warder know he might be
going to die when he went to the op-
Grating tabl@.fo the removal of his
Iappendix. Both in sinking under
either and in coming out from its ia-
Iflucnce, he affirmed his innocence OF

ESSENTIAL COG IN MACHINE
Eugene Meyer Says Farmer Is Great est Producer, Borrower and
 Buyer in Country.

] From the address of Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director of the War Finance corporation at the convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World at Milwaukee, June IS:
 "The farmer is the most essential cog in the driving wheel of the Amer fcan business machine. He is the greatest producer, borrower and buyer in the United States, The aggregate value, on the farm, of last years agri- cultural output was more than SIP OOO, 100000, equal to two-thirds of the worlds international trade. And last year was year of low values. The average farm value of the annual out put for the past six years has been estimated at more than S1S,OOO, ,OO0, GOO
 Tn 1920 the banks of the United States had outstanding loans to farm CTS amounting to more than S5,OOO,OOO,- 900, a sum greater by billion dollars than all the money actually in circula. tion in the whole country. If we in- clude mortgage loans by insurance companies, private investors, and other agencies, it is probable that the aggre- gate agricultural loans will exceed $12,OO0, 100000, or approximately 25 per cent of the whole banking power of the United States.

IMPROVED BULLS IN KANSAS
Kansas City Chamber of Commerce Offers Bonus to County Replacing
 Most Scrubs.

Kansas is putting on a better bulls"
 contest. The county which replaces
 the most scrub bulls with purebreds
 prior to January 15, 1923, will receive
 $1,OOO, offered by the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. The second
 will receive a prize of $500. the third a prize of $500 and the fourth a prize of $20O. Out of the 12 counties lead ing, 10 are farm bureau counties. The leading unorganized county is now tie ing for fifth place, while the other unorganized county among the first 12 is in eleventh place. Franklin coun- ty is in the lead with 42 replacements and County Agent F. Joe Robbins says the county has only made a start. Clay county is second with 35 replacements.
 A number of the county farm bu- reaus have worked out unique plans of boosting the SireS campaign. Ness and Ford counties have put on pure bred auctions. Every buyer who ob- tained a purebred to replace a scrub was given a 10 per cent discount In Ness county scrub bulls were taken in at market value in exchange for purebreds.
 Jackson county is arranging a Se- ries of bargain sales of purebred bulls. Under this plan each breeder in the county will list one or more bulls. These bulls will be appraised by a committee of men who know the value of purebreds. The bulls will then be lined up at some point central to the different communities, priced at 25 per cent less than the appraised value and offered to those who wish to put pure bredS at the head of their herds. No buyer can obtain these bulls at the 25 per cent reduction unless he is buying to replace scrub. Thus far 334 replacements have been announced. | This number was increased from 212 | during the first ten days of June

When we have heavy downpours OF

the loose surface soil gets overloaded

For the present season all we can
