HOUSE HIDES FORTUNE
Wealthy Virginia spinster Dies and Leaves Wealth Stuffed and Hidden All over Place.

Winchester, Va, Oct. 22.--A bond ed caretaker has been placed on guard at the residence of Miss Mar tha sshumate. wealthy spinster, who died last week, leaving hoard&i fortune stuffed and crammed in nearly every nook and cranny of the house.
 The guard was established when crowds, lured by the reports of hid- den treasure, threatened to overruI1 the premises. Bank officials said the woman had drawn several thousand dollars from her account recently to distribute in modest bequests among heB friends.
 Hardly a receptacle in the house has failed to give up money. Clocks, picture frames, covered plates and cracks and crevices poured out gold and bank notes. Much of the gold coin is said to be of old mintage, many pieces being from the Cali fornia mint, coined while the gold rush was at it's height.
 Miss Shumate was the last of a, prominent Frederick county family that had conserved riches through a century.

CALLS RED MOVEMENT
 LIKE GAS FROM HELL
Rev. Harbert Judson White Denounces Communists
 and La Toilette

Characterizing the socialistic movement as "gas attack from hell" and questioning the intelligence of q man who will vote for La Fol Iete. Rev. Dr. H. Judson White pas tor of the Central Baptist church of Hartford today delivered one Of the most powerful addresses in the his tory of the New Britain kiwanis club.
 He said one of the things which impressed him most at this time was the "drive La Toilette is making against the supreme court" He said This would nullify the power of the court which is the bulwark of state and personal rights and has always been beyond the power and influence of politics.
 If such an amendment as con- templated were passed, Congress could overthrow, the constitution 1t self. It is a proposition that Ameri- "a should spurn. Every amendnent hat has been written into the con- >titution since America was born could be swept aside by that bunch of politicians we call congress.
 Speaking of the socialistic theory the speaker said, There is a slow progress of gas attack from hell sweeping over the earth in the form of communism and liberalism"
 He spoke of the explosion of a cloud of dust which is said to have occurred recently and added, There is a dust cloud sweeping over the world, not only among the long haired and short thoughted people, but 1t also has caught the fancy Of many of the common people and 1t looks red to me. Russia and Ger many are hopeycombed with com- munistic thought In England, wise minded people are fighting com- munistic growth with labor gov ernment and a million unemployed. Tn Germany, Poland and Austria they are making progress fin fash- ioning harness with which women can be used to carry burdens,
 "The Chinese are infested with insiduous teachers of communistic thought and Japan is on the eve of tremendous revolution, largely fos- tered by communism.
 T know men in America who get groups of silly women in parlors and teach them communism. Pro- fessors are teaching 1t in some of the colleges and in New York re- gently there was a great outcry against the practice of teaching communistic theories in the public schools.
 There is an insiduous infectious ness about it, like the spread of a contagious disease. There are those who stand on soap boxes on street corners in Hartford and I don't doubt that they do in New Britain also. who are shouting for and ad- vocating a change. Let's revolu- lionize, let's take what these grab bers have and own it ourselves"
 He spoke of a series of four car-, toons recently printed in a New York newspaper showing scenes in Europe in countries which have

BUSINESS DEPENDS
MUCH ON WEATHER

Almost every imaginable business
depends in some way on the weather.
A sheep raiser was ready to send a
flock of rams to the range lands, but.
having previously suffered losses at
Landing time, inquired of the local
weather bureau of the United States
department of agriculture for wea-
ther conditions on his range IA DAYS
from the date of the arrival of the
rams. The weather could not be pre-
dicted that far in advance; but curves
showing mean daily minimum tenn
peratures and latest spring killing
frosts indicated a period of relative
safety beginning shortly after May
20. His previous losses had occurred
when the lambs were dated prior 10
! May Is, as had been warranted on
another range. Since that inquiry, two
successful seasons have followed in
those herds, the lambs being brought
in late May or early June. as suggest
ed by the weather records.
