ment. you know" volunteered the girl.
Ralph thought minute, then put a,
crisp one-dollar bill into the basket.
"Oh that's too much to give" called
the girl, but Ralph had disappeared
down the stairs into the school.
That did not end Ralph's thoughts
on the matter, however. In the after
noon he met Frances, one Of his girl
friends from the normal department,
Ralph" she burst forth, "the tag day
surely Is going over big. They. expect
to make quite lot more than they
did last year. Why" she exclaimed in,
her Joy, "do you know, they always.
say artists are so very poor-well,
Aida told me some nice young man put,
a dollar bill in her basket and never
said a word about wanting any
change"
Ralph smiled: "That fellow probably
was thinking about some composition
he was making and didn't even know
he put it in"
mo, he didn't, because Aida said he
thought minute before he dropped
II in"
That evening as Ralph worked in his
room at the boarding house, some way
or other he just couldn't keep his mind
off his home. He had known right along
that he couldn't 60 home for Christmas,
but as the time drew nearer-only two
more days now before Christmas vaca-
tion--he felt very lonely. There was
someone besides the folks who made
Ralph wish he were going home. Ralph
heaved sigh.
Gee, hate to think Of 1t. She will.
be home from college for the holidays,
and won't be there to take her:
around. Well, little girl, you under
stand If all the rest don't. Hang 1t,
I would like to see you, Lillian"
Everybody at school went about
whistling and singing, why shouldn't
he? He should. Hadn't he given that
dollar he had been saving so long for
some colors he wanted? If he couldn't
60 home, he was at least contributing
to someone elses happiness. Come to,
think Of it, there are loads of people
In this very city who have no place
to even think Of as home.

struction of municipal water plant
has been let to a Kansas City con-
tracing firm which is paying 65 cents
an hour for hoist engineers and pile
drivers, while the union scale for that
work is $3.50 an hour. In addition to
the agreement that union labor was
to be employed on all the bond issue
work, the city charter plainly provides
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-12-21

that the prevailing rate of wages
shall be paid on all municipal work.
A committee representing the To-
cal building trades council wasted its
time in an effort to induce Mayor Kiel
to act in the matter. The explanation
given by the mayor was that the con-
tract was let to the lowest bidder who
had the right to hire labor as cheap
as possible.

One of the most noted, successful and richest men of this country, in recent article. said: Whatever I am and whatever success I have at tained in this world I owe it all to my wife. From the day I first knew her she has been an inspiration and the greatest helpmate of my life.' Health is the first essential of every woman who wants to be a successful wife and to hold the love and ad- miration of her husband. If a woman finds her energies Tagging and dark circles appearing under her eyes, she has backache. headaches, nervousness and the blues." she should take Lydia l..

CHARGES OF MURDER PLACED AGAINST NINE
TrOuton Confesses To Killing Of
 SOn-In-Law

NEWMAN, Ga, August 21.-For- nal charges of murder were late to- day made against John w. Minter, his three sons, three sons-in-law, and two other men in connection with the death of Willard Trouton, accord ing to a statement issued late today by Sheriff Carpenter. Formal pre- sentiment of the case before q grand jury will be made early in Septem- Der, he added.
 Sheriff Carpenter declared he would not give out any details of the confession alleged to have been been made yesterday by John w. Minter until the case has been inxes- tigated by the grand jury. Should indictments be returned the Winters will immediately be placed on trial.
 Minter is alleged to have told the authorities that he killed Trouton. his son-in-law, for having whipped his wife, forcing her to separate from him, and later sought to reconcile with her. To prevent reconciliation Minter held council with members of his family and it was then decided, he is said to have told authorities, to get Trouton out of the way.
 The elder member of the family said the alleged brutalities inflicted upon his daughter preyed on his mind, and when Trouton wrote her a note it so infuriated the father, the police said, that he decided to keep Trouton silent for always.
 Sheriff Carpenter would not give any reason IS to why he desired to keep the alleged confession a secret until laid before the grand jury, but he did declare that the case was mak- ing satisfactory progress and was be- ing developed along definite lines.
 No efforts have been made to se- cure bond for the men being held who besides the father of the family are: John Jeff, Benjamin and Grady Minter, l.. L. Goodrum. B. F. Weldon and Claude Washington, sons-in-law, and W. M. Feltman and Ben Free man.

Kansas Tenant Farmers Ask for Seed

These sixteen counties had nearly one
and three-Quarters million acres Of
wheat sown last fall. They harvested
less than 20 per cent Of this acreage.
Five counties did not harvest a sin
gle bushel from 100000 acres sown last
fall. One county harvested 100 bushels
from $4,000 acres.
This is the second failure Of the
wheat in successive years. In July
and August year ago there were fine
rains throughout the West. It was a
season of great prospect for wheat and
the farmers prepared all the ground
available for the crop. They sowed
wheat by the hundreds Of acres. The
sowing was in late September and Oc-
tober. There was not drop Of rain
in that territory from early In August
until May of the present year. There
was no snow either. The farmers gen.
orally planted the ground to the sor-
ghums and to broom corn, but they
will get little money for the sorghum
crops except as feed. The broom corn
will be about the only cash crop.
All Of the money contributed for free
seed will go into one pot. 1t will be
distributed over sixteen counties.
There must be a complete failure next
year as bad as the one this year to
wipe out the entire pool.
