| then on to the prison wall and drop
ped over on the outside.
Since murder charges were first
preferred against her she has been
known as "the feminine Bluebeard. "
Her life story is curious mixture
of crime, love, happiness and TRACE
dy.
She was the beautiful daughter of
farmer living near New Straits
vile, o.
When a young girl she eloped with
Robert Gibson, young son of a New
Straitsville florist. They had been
childhood sweethearts.
Robert and Clara appeared deeply
in love. They went to Cleveland,
where Gibson was teacher. His
wife was employed on a newspaper.
They conceived the idea of getting
rich by going from town to town,
writing and selling illustrated his
tories of various localities.
They went to Huntsville, Mo-,
where Gibson became suddenly i'll.
Doctors seemed unable to help him
and he died within a short time.
A few months later Clara married
Frank Carl at Seneca, Kas.
The couple went to New Phila-
delphia, Ind, and invited the hus-
bands father, Alonzo Carl, IS, to
live with them.
Again mysterious n-alady afflict-
ed Clara's husband. The father-in-
law also became suddenly i'll.
Frank Carl was picture of
health and was noted for his power
full physique.
But within a month his strength
left him so fast that he became a
living skeleton.
Bodies Exhumed
When both the husband and ia
ther-in-law died terrible deaths, the
county prosecutor was deluged with
letters demanding an investigation.
Exhumation of their bodies revealed
enough arsenic to "kill a dozen men"
according to the prosecutor.
The trial in 1922 resulted in a
second degree murder conviction and
life sentence.
Apparently the motive of the
feminine Bluebeard" was to OBJ
tain the petty fortunes of her two
husbands.
She secured orly $4,000 after the
death of her first husband and $4,000
from Carrs insurance, making her
rimes all the more amazing.

COLLECTS REPORTS ON
WILD MUSTARD VALUE

; There has been a great deal of
inquiry in the county agents office
relative to the market value of the
common wild mustard seed botani-
cally known as brassica arvensis and
sometimes designated as a noxious
seed by the Montana Seed Law. Ac-
cording to A. j. Ogaard, extension
specialist in agromony, who has made
inquiry in the subject and received
word from the Albert Dickinson
Company, on the cleanliness and
general character of the seed as well
as the market, the Dickinson Com
pany states that the demand for wild
mustard has been very backward for
the last few years but a few con-
Germs are using it and its value is
from $4,000 to $4,000 per ton.
The Squire-Dingee Company states
that they do not use the so-called
mustard seed as they are not per-
mitted to do so under the existing
pure food laws.
Offer Information
The Halligan Company, Daven-
port, Iowa, states that government
standards for prepared mustard do
not permit the use of wild mustard
unless the label covering the ingred-
lent shows that wild mustard has
been used. They, however, receive
samples by mail and will give any
person information regarding the
market and state that they can put
farmers in touch with some COM
mission houses, if they have supply
on hand, so that they can put their
product on the market. They also
state that black mustard seed with
out seeing the quality might be
worth 8 u cents per pound central
point Minneapolis, if in good clean
condition it might bring a 1a cents |
or 5 cents, which would easily pay
for the trouble of bagging it.
Any farmer who has wild mustard
seed to dispose of should send sam
piles to this company and ask for
quotations which Of course, will de-
termine if the product can be mar
keted profitably.-D B. Noble, Coun-
ty Agent.

FROM THE SILENCE
By r. II. WALKER

EROM the silent activity of the hu
a man brain come the worlds great
est achievements. in the arts, in music
in letters and in craftsmanship. Nov
ing night and day, unceasing in its eff
forts to attain higher plane, the minC
of man Is ever reaching out to unex
plored realms in its perpetual quest
for something something greater
srander and more sublime than is
known today.
And in this quest the silent mind is
the most potential force in the uni
verse.
Every material thing in time must
energy. If you will closely observe the
men who are stirring the world by
their accomplishments, who are rising
above impending obstacles to new
heights, who are sweeping away an
cient traditions startling mankind
with the fiaring torch of newly discov-
cred truths, all having a bearing on a
higher and better life. you will find
they are souls of silence, dwelling with
the stiffness of their own thoughts.
Only the silent minds can separate
the gold from the dross only the silent
minds venture the dizziest elevations
and dare strike a new note that rings
like a thunder-clap above the tlnkling
din of the commonplace.
Such minds have no quarrel with
nature, with whom they walk arm and
arm on intimate terms, gathering from
her her secrets and using them for the
uplifting of the worlds peoples.
Such minds seek solitude, for 1t Is
in the quiet seclusiOn of their own
chosen environment that they go forth
in search of life and light and treas
ure. far too rich and elusive to be
found except by souls who hunt In
silence and are willing if necessary to
give a lifetime to the quest.
In this respect the silent man goes
far beyond all the louder types. Being
humble, sincere, patient, earnest and
devoted to his cause. he never falterS
in the work he has set himself to do
He holds resolutely to his purpose
TRANQUILITY vending his way without
noise or buster
He has a certain rugged ardor of
Temperament which never admits de-
feat or loss of faith He is the typed
of man that changes the destinies of
nations overnight; not an actor, not an
imitator, but creator, prototype of
divinity itself, vested with power of
relevation. with which he was born.

bill, which President Coolidge vetoed
last summer At the same time an
other measure, known as the Sterling
bill, has been submitted with practi-
cally the same provisions for postal
salaries, and carrying in addition a
revenue measure.
Special subcommittee of the Sen
ate and House held hearings during
the Christmas recess when represent
.ative mail users protested against the
enormous increase in their rates. 1t
is said that the Sterling bill was
brought to the Senate in an effort
to bring about parliamentary COM
plications so that no postal measure
would be enacted at this session. Sew
eral days must elarse before the
postal pay and postal salary PROPOSE
tions are disposed of.
1t is believed that several legisla-
tive measures will be introduced at
this session dealing with retail prices
The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States has called conference
here early in January in order to
help the buying public and the mer-
chant. The national Chamber is con
vinced that the public does not un-
derstand the retailer and his immedi-
ate problems For this reason it is
believed that great benefits will fol
low a discussion of the problems of
distribution from the standpoint of
the merchant, the manufacturer and
the consumer.
Business Problems
While it is not the intention of the
promoters of this conference to bring
about legislative cure-alls, no doubt
many legislators will sieze this oppor-
tunity to introduce free economic
measures. The small town merchants
and publishers, as well as the citizens
who purchase, have a direct interest
in these meetings. The statement has
been made that material savings may
be accomplished by reducing the
amount and number of failures; by
reducing the cost of doing business
and the ultimate price of the cons.
sumer; and by placing the distribu
tor in a better relation to his Gus
toner.
There are similar movements un-
der way for agriculture to solve prob
lens by mutual agreement rather
than congressional action. The senti-
ment is growing that Congress should
stick to its own knitting and leave
economic problems to those directly

Reflections Of a
Bachelor Girl
By HELEN RowLANp

MOST of married woman's life is
AsA spent in thinking up devices for
curing a mans little vices.
What a man calls his Friendship"
for woman is always either the be-
ginning of love, or what is left of 1t,
after the romance and the thrills are
gone.
A womans accusations roll right of
a mans consciousness like water off
a rubber coat but her dead silence is
sometimes 50 fraught with meaning
that it makes him shiver with appre-
hension
A mind-woman Is the lily that
adorns a platform; a heart-woman is
rose that sweetens a mans own home.
The average man always marries one
of these-and then spends his life
thinking wistfully of the other.
A woman seldom finds real love un-
til she has grown weary looking for it,
and has begun TO look for the amuse-
ment and diversion of synthetic senti-
ment.
To charm a boy of twenty, call him
a ''hard-hearted cynic" to charm a
man Of forty, call him SILLY boy!
A wife can never appreciate the
cheerful generosity with which her
husband offers to lend the lawn mower
to a neighbor whom he wouldn't think
of trusting with his fishing-tackle.
A woman always insists that man
acknowledge all her virtues, but man
Is thankful if woman will just over
look all his little faillngs.
1t may seem a victory to be able to
twist him round your little finger.
Take care that your success does not
make you top-heavy, A husband-twist-
er often develops into a husband

Most men have committing hearts"
that leave home regularly, but always
come back again to wife for a rest.
