NINE WOMEN ARE
 ON M'COY JURY
Prosecutor Says He'll Prove
 Cold BlOOded Murder

Los Angeles, Calf, Dec. l0.-- Nine women rounded out tho jury of 12 citizens in the superior court today awaiting the presentation of testimony which attorneys for the state predicted would prove Kid Me- Coy, former idol of the prize ring, guilty of the murder of Mrs, Theresa Mors here last August.
 A negro janitor, David Hiram, was called to give the first prosecu- ton testimony. He found Mrs. Mors dead of a bullet wound on the floor of the apartments she and Mccoy had been occupying as MT, and Mrs N. Shields"
 In his opening statement yester- day, F.. J. Dennison, deputy districs attorney, said Mccoy was fin an ugly mood" on the afternoon of August F, at 8 ?. m. that night he was intoxicated at II p. III. Mrs. Mors was shot at l;30 a. m, Mccoy staggered into the home of his ss- ter, Mrs. Jennie Thomas, told her he had killed Q woman, left $S0,000 worth of jewelry in his sisters keep ing, made d will and left at 3:45 a.. m. he wandered into Hollywood po- lice station and told officers to- morrow I'll be in the tank" at a. m. he was in the Mors antique shop looking for Albert A. Mors, husband of the slain woman, and before 1 a. m. he had shot and wounded three persons in or near the establishment.
 "We expect to prove" Dennison told the jury, that McCoy's motive for the murder was jealousy. that he pifered the body after death and previously had stolen articles from the shop"
 Tt was sordid murder" the prosecutor concluded, without 6 semblance of romance, and Mccoy slew in cold blood the woman who had befriended him."

MAKE REMARKABLE RECORD
Seed Potatoes Procured By Farm Bureau From RackIife's, Exceed All Others In Yield.

Rackliffe Brothers Co. Inc, of this city have surpassed all others in Hartford county in the production yield from their Maine seed pota- tees, according to q statement issued by the Hartford county farm bureau. This bureau made q survey on Irish cobber seed potatoes, purchasing seed potatoes from all dealers in the country and planting the mon Va rious farms throughout the state. Careful analysis showed that Rack lffe's potatoes yielded on Richard Cooley's farm in East Hartford, S93 bushels per acre and averaged all over the state 237 bushels per acre. One Of the most striking features of the analysis was the futility of using home grown seed potatoes, this variety yielding in the state only 61 | bushels per acre.

Don't Let That Cold
 Turn Into "Flu"
Rub on Good Old Musterole

That cold may turn into Flu" Grippe or, even worse, Pneumonia, unless you take care of 1t at once. Rub good old Musterole on the con- gested parts and see how quickly it brings relief.
 Colds are merely congestion. Mus terole, made from pure oil of mustard. camphor, menthol and other simple ingredients, is a counter-lrritant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold.
 As effective as the messy old mustard plaster, does the work without blister. Just rub it on with your fnger-tips. You will feel a warm jingle as it enters the pores, then a cooling sensation that brings welcome relief.
 To Mothers: Musterole is also made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children's Musterole.
