A JEKYLL-AND-HYDE GIRL
Ohio Court Commits Her to Asylum
After Two Years Observation

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 31.-Bernice
Redick of Cleveland, who has been in
charge of the State Bureau of Juve-
nile Research in an effort to separate
her good" character from her bad"
was committed yesterday to the State
Hospital for the Insane here by the
Franklin county juvenile court.
For two years state physicians have
made vain efforts to separate her good
disposition from the bad one, but the
bad gradually overcame the good, and
her condition of late has become such
that she disturbed the routine of the
institution of which she was an in
mate.
Physicians call her "Bernice" when
she is good and Polly" when she is
bad. They reported to the court that
as "Bernice" she was perfect
lady" but when Polly" she was like
an unruly child Of four.

FRANCE OBVIOUSLY IS
WORRIED OVER THREAT
European Diplomats Advised That
Greco Italian Situation Is None
OF Their Affair.

OF Their Affair.
By The Associated Press.
Paris, Aug. S1.-Obvious anxiety
prevailed today in French official and
foreign diplomatic circles in Paris
over the Greco-Italian situation.
The Italian diplomatic representa-
tives have informed the European
chancellories that their government
regards the present conflict as a pure
ly Italo-Greek affair and that al
though the victims were members Of
a commission acting under the
authority of the inter-alied council of
ambassadors they were all Italians,
wearing the uniform Of the italian
army; hence the action by Italy was
justified to maintain respect for her
nationals in uniform. Pc.
The similarity of tone between the
semi official declarations and press
comment that came from Vienna and
Berlin before the outbreak of war in
1914 is remarked upon in some quar-
tiers where hope is expressed that
Italy will moderate her tone. or at
least will abide by the covenant of
the league of nations, which requires
her not to take hostile action until
three months after the council of the
league has had time to investigate.

MussoIini Again Gives
Out His Views on Ruhr

Rome, Aug 31.-Premier MusSoflnl
addressing yesterdays cabinet meet
ing reiterated his official attitude as
previously expressed in regard to the
Ruhr situation. Germany, he de-
clared, must pay sum in reparation
which should however be much less
than the hundreds of billion of gold
marks spoken of after the armistice-
probably in the neighborhood Of 50,-
600, 900, 900 gold marks.
Italy was ready, if necessary to
make sacrifices for the reconstruction
of Europe but she could not tolerate
changes or notifications in territory
that would impair her hegemony pol
litically, military or economically. The
premier reaffirmed his opinion that
the reparation and inter-allied debt
questions we're inter-dependent.

the morning and the noon feeds, ana
should be given a liberal amount OF
grain, preferably oats, with from ~ 10
20 per cent Of bran added. Ihey
should be watered in the morning be-
fore being fed and should be allowed
water again after feeding. AT noon'
when coming from the field they
should be given limited amount OF
water If they are hot, followed by feed'
and again be watered before going 10
the field. At night they should be gwen
a limited amount when brought from
the field followed by the evening feed'
and should then be given all the wafer
they will drink.
IT is an excellent practice, ALSO 70
water the horses in the middle OF eacn

is as refreshing to the horse as to the

Profitable to Produce
Crops of Best Quality
Poor Product Is Never in
Demand on Any Market.

The spread between the prices Of
apples OF good quality and apples OF
Door quality, butter Of good quality
and butter Of poor quality, seed grain
of high test and seed grain OF low
test, is always marked. In most cases
It represents much more than the diff
ference In cost Of producing good
product and q poor one. In some cases
1t Is utterly impossible to sell the poor
product, while the good product Is GER
tain Of sale, no matter what the con-
dition Of the market.
AS has. been remarked, the diner
ence In the cost Of production be-
tween good and poor products is rela-
lively slight. Good products may mean
a considerably greater initial outlay,
special machinery or pure bred live
stock. This investment will pay inter-
est for number Of years. Aside from
the initial investment, the principal
expense in obtaining good products Is
incurred in the matter OF care. Proper
tillage, spraying, care OF the product
after II has been produced-these
make up the main expenses. They
bear usually an extremely small pro-
portion to the additional price Sc
cured for good products. In fact. care
ia often not SO much an expense as
mental habit.
Apart from the profit, there is great
satisfaction In producing the best.
That alone is worth while to the
farmer who makes farming his LIE.

The production of silver foxes, prop
erly managed, has proved a profitable
business. AS fur animal bred in cap
pelrs and the live foxes for breeding
stock are in demand. To meet a gen.

try, and the best management Of silver
foxes on ranches, United States De
partment Of Agriculture Bulletin No.
1151, Silver Fox Farming, by Frank
g. Ashbrook, biologist, has been is-
sued.
Approximately 80 per cent of the
silver fox pelts sold on the fur market
are from ranch-bred foxes. During
February, 1922, 2,375 silver fox pelts
from ranches all over the United
States and Canada were sold In Lon

successfully In practically every one Of
the northern tier Of states, and in the
cooler parts Of California, Colorado,
Kansas, Iowa, Missouri. Illinois, In

and Massachusetts. About 500 ranch
ers are engaged in the business in this
country; in 1922 there were between
1900 and $1,000 foxes in captivity,
representing an investment Of about
$8,OOO,OOO.
Quality 10 Big Factor.
Quality, not quantity, is the factor
that counts In breeding silver foxes.
The location and plan Of the ranch are
extremely important considerations, as
well as selection Of stock and feeding
and breeding. Foxes do not do well
under shiftless management. The sue
cessful rancher is the one who has the
well-being Of each Individual foI con-
tinually In mind. He must study the
behavior Of his foxes at every oppor-
tunity and keep constantly informed
In regard to the best practices in their
management.

possible, especially during the breed

Progress Being Made in
Drive for Better Sires

During the month Of May progress

movement, fostered by various states

Agriculture, showed material increase
In interest. During that month 553
persons filed with the department writ
ten agreements to use pure bred sires
exclusively in their live stock breeding
operations for all kinds Of animals
kept, including poultry.
This number is more than twice that
for the preceding month, and Is also
much above the monthly average for
the entire campaign. The total number
of live stock owners cooperating
with the states and department for the
use Of better sires is now 1O,964, and
the live stock being improved by these
farmers aggregate nearly 100000
head.
