GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, March a2-
Esther Hansell, daughter of John w.
Hansell, plaintiff in the suit against
the Israelite House of David. and re-
ferred to as the "key" witness in the
sensational hearing. was slated to
take the witness stand today. Her
testimony, it was indicated. would
virtually complete the evidence
against the cult. which has been
charged with indulging in immoral
practices in the guise of religious
ceremony. Unusual interest is attach
ed to her testimony, her name having
been mentioned by numerous witness
es, who told of alleged mistreatment
of young girls at the hands of Benja-
min David Purnell, head of the Ben
ton Harbor colony.
With the plaintiffs case nearing
conclusion, it was evident a score or
more witnesses would be called by
the defense, and one report was that
Purnell might be put on the stand,
thus breaking traditions of the cult
that its leader should take no part
in court actions. Purnell was report
ed to be in Grand Rapids. Advices
from Benton Harbor We're that he
was not at the colony.
May Call Fifty.
Purnell would be the last man we
would bring in here one of his fol-
lowers was quoted as saying when
asked if the cult leader would testify.
His wife. Mary PurnelI, the so-called
queen" of the colony, is slated to
take the stand, and should all the
persons said by plaintiff witnesses to
have knowledge of alleged immor-
altty at the colony be called to refute
the charges the list would reach fiftv
or more.
That few adult members of the cult
knew of the alleged immoral prac-
tices was indicated by witnesses al
ready called by the plaintiff Several
women nave stated they learned of
the reported misconduct on the part
of Purnell from their daughters.

testified first heard the reports from

Middlewest Farmers Do Not
Join Those of Northwest
In Their Demands on
President
SEEKING OTHER WAYS
Farming Is Undergoing Many
Changes in Middlewest as
New Methods Are
Adopted

Indianapolis, Indiana, Sept. 2l.--
There is no demand among farmers
in this state for an extra session Of
Congress to fix the price of any
agricultural product. There is little
discussion among either politicians
or farmers of the conferences held
in the Northwest which resulted in
resolutions being adopted urging an
extra session.
Farmers in Indiana have no faith
in legislative remedies. Apparently
they believe that conditions will
right themselves. 1t is marked
changed from the sentiment in the
Northwest.
There is dissatisfaction and spme
distress among the farmers. There
have been many foreclosures. Few
banks have closed, because they have
generally been conservative and are
strictly supervised. The banks, too,
usually are backed by men of wealth
in community and many are will
ing to sacrifice large amounts of
money to avoid the stigma of having
been an officer or director in a clos
ed bank.
The chief reason apparently that
farmers do not feel the disturbed
price conditions as keenly as do
many farmers in the Northwest is
because of the diversity of crops.
From his cows, poultry and garden
a farmer gets most of his living. He
profits chiefly through cattle and
hogs. There has been remarkable
increase in dairying in the last few
years, and it bids fair to continue
to increase.
Not Ready Money Crop
Wheat has passed from an impor-
tant ready money CROP few years
ago until now it is planted usually
only in the order of crop rotation
followed. The wheat yield has not
been good this year. There is no
ticeable tendency even to abandon
wheat entirely and to ,plant soy
beans as crop to enrich the soil
and at the same time fill the place
of wheat in the order of crop rota-
tion. Even in so we'll settled state
as this-and the same is said to be
true Of Illinois and Ohio-farming
is. undergoing the same rapid
changes that have characterized in
dustry in the last decade. If one
method is not successful there is
an effort made to adjust the process
of farming to meet the situation and
to take advantage of new demands
for farm products.
Hog raising always has been an
important industry in this state

are being introduced into the State,
especially into pool halls and places
where candy or tobaccos are sold.
"We wish to call your attention to
the laws against gambling apd the
keeping of gambling devices, tables
apparatus etc, and also to the 1928
amendment to the State Licensing
Law, reading in part as follows:
"'All sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, con-
stables, police and peace officers are
hereby authorized to visit and in
spect all places mentioned in this
Act or licensed under this Chapter
and it shall be their duty to en-
force all the provisions of this Chap
ter and the Laws of this State in
such places.%
"'This department can best ascer-
tain the presence of these devices
through your cooperation.
Punch boards and slot machines,
are prohibited. and their keeping or
exhibiting is misdemeanor,, even
though they are operated so that
the player, in any event will receive
something, if he stands to win
something in addition. 81 C. J. $780,
"Will you kindly inspect pool
halls. soft drink, candy and tobacco

take the necessary legal steps to

to prosecute those who will not

ducts and the profit found in-dairy-
ing has brought about new situa-

pie to aid him and selling milk only
to creameries and milk stations. An
other farmer who has many milk
cows had difficulty in keeping laboi
on the farm until he decided to in
stall electric fans to keep the cows
cool-he discovered that the fans al
so kept the mixers cool and his la
Dor problem disappeared.
i Farmer Is Envied
+ There is little prejudice as be-
tween town and city. Indeed, in the
smaller cities the farmer usually is
envied. For while city people are
paying good prices for produce Of
various sorts the farmer is--they
feel-gettipg his living rather cheap
ly out Of the soil;> Improved roads,
extension of electric lights and the
automobile have combined to knit
the city and country people closer
together. Many people agree that
under present conditions the farm
er is at a disadvantage as regards
prices, although occasionally one
will hear city resident declare that
the, farmer is better off than anyone
else and that he, too, profiteered
during the war.
Cooperative marketing has made
little Roadway and apparently there
is little demand for it. Most farm
ers seem satisfied with the present
system.
Some farmers are in difficult Err
cumstances because of purchase of
Hand at high prices during the war
or heavy purchases of blooded live
stock at big prices. Governor War
rem T. McCray, who had been rated
the richest farmer Of the state and
who owned one Of the finest herds
of Herford cattle in the world, has
been forced to ask aid of his credi-
tors because, his friends say, he
loaded up with high priced cattle
during the war and after-the-war
period or sold blooded cattle at ire
mendous prices on credit and is un-
able to realize.
Bankers agree that money among
farmers is rather tight, but all be-
lieve that the situation is rapidly be-
coming better

Was Copied by Allies
With Success.

allies and contributed to their VIC
tory, Maj. Gen. John l.. Hines. dep

dress was Battle Command of a
Regiment"
The general stated that COM
muniques issued by Gen. Ludendorff
fell into the hands of the French and
revealed the plan of strongly rein
forcing the territory behind the front
lines. It Is known that in the early
days Of the war the allies strung
troops all along the lines, and when
the Germans were able to smash
through there was little to check
them. After this plan of the enemy
came into the hands Of Marshal Foch
he likewise adopted 1t, placing troops
of sufficient strength on the front
lines and supporting them with
larger numbers the greater the dis-
tance from the scene of action.
