Girl z, Star Pupil in School,
Youngest HOmicidaI Maniac
Attempted to Poison
amiIy Told Of Muir
dering Three,

BIZ NEA Sertsce
r. los ANGELES, Feb. 10.-In
Ill school she has attained the
unusual distinction of being
the smartest girl in the eighth
care. although she is yet z.
At home she is feared because
of fiendish plotting.
And in jail, this little girl, Alsa
Thompson. is looked upon as the
youngest homicidal maniac ever
observed by local scientists.
Precocious, cooperative, the
child often helped her guardian,
Mrs. Inez Platts of Hollywood pre-
pare meals. Creative, too, she
loved to concoct, now and then a
dessert dish; this once she pre-
pared with ant paste and sulphuric
acid. 1t was poison enoug to kill
the whole family. Luckily its taste
was forewarning.
Fooled, the child flew into rage
of fury, found razor and tried to
slash the baby Of the family, Max
inc Platts, 5.
So the police were called.
IT guess I did it because l am
so mean" Alsa explained with
childish frankness.
She told police she had poisoned
to death her twin sister and a
woman. Authorities investigated
her murder story and discredited
1t.
She was turned over to parole
authorities for corrective treat
ment, after Juvenile Judge Gates
ruled she is not insane, but men
tally diseased"
She probably will be closely
guarded for several years in an
attempt to destroy her homicidal
tendencies.
The girls parents are separated.

tive government recently named a
royal food commission to trace the
trouble.
1t is headed by Sir Auckland
Geddes, former ambassador to the
United States.
This commission did not go very
far before 1t became convinced that
there was considerable monopolistic
control of the peoples food. 1t
found evidences of combines and
trusts. 1t ran up against reluctant
and even insincere witnesses.
And now the tip is quietly going
around in the commercial world,
which deals with wheat, meat and
tea, that the commission is going to
recommend to Premier Baldwin that
the government take control of
those commodities.
If this is done and If the premier
and Parliament accept the recon-
n1endation, the machinery soon
win whirr. There are experienced
men in the. civil service who know
all about it. They could have the
whole food machine set up and in
working order within a. month.
And II it were to come into be-
ing, American markets, American
grain exchanges and American
food spectators would have about
the liveliest times they have
known since the World War
ragged.
When Great Britain. a1 pur-
chaser for the bulk Of the wheat
and the meat Of $4,000, 900 people,
came to America to buy, prices
would naturally tend to go up and
up and up. Word would go every
where: England Is buyinglo
And when England satisfied its
needs and quit buying that same
market would go flop.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb 10.--A ''po
iitical West" that will not only
wipe out present geographical de
marcations between the Republican
and Democratic parties, but will con-
test for supremacy on the issue of
governmental development of the
natural resources, is in the making.
This is the assertion Of Senator
Hiram johnson, California. Repub-
iican, expressed as an aftermath OF
the internal warfare in the ranks Of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties on the floor Of the Senate
during the past month.
East Is East"
EAST is East and West is West in
this Government today" said John
son, "and that is the true line Nof
dernarcation in the preseDs warning
PHILOSOPHERS of Government.
ct is not in the label I wear as a
Republican nor the name men OF the
Democratic faith bear. The West
has no fear of having the Govern
ment continue with what the Gov
eminent inaugurates nor does 1t
| tremble whenever 1t is suggested
that the Government may do what
municipalities and counties through
out the United States are doing"
| Johnson pointed to the defeated
/ Norris plan for Government opera
ton of the $15O.OOO.oO0 power and
nitrate manufacturing plant at
Muscles Shoals, Alabama.
Policies Divided
"I grant you that that principle is
at variance with the viewpoint OF
the East, but it is the dividing line
today in politics, Johnson said,
though not between the two major
parties.
| "These two warning PHILOSOPHERS
in the days to come will fight 1t out
In this nation; fight 1t out in the
Senate; fight it out in the two
parties. because 1t is internal, in
tercine strife in each OF the
dominant parties-and fight 1t out
until one or the other of these
philosophers have become wholly
triumphant.
~ glory in this division coming
from the far Pacific The West be-
lieves in its government and is not
afraid to have 1t handle the affairs
which touch upon the entire people
Of the land, whether they be matters
Of taxation or development OF
natural resources and other affairs
This theory Of government viii

not far off,"

MONTANA FARMS HOLD
SMALLER GRAIN. STOCKS
AN ABUNDANCE OF HAY

Stocks Of grains Of Montana farms
are smaller, while the hay carry over
70 March / was about the average,
according to the March report Of Mr.
George A. Scott, agricultural statis-
tician. The higher prices for grains,
particularly for wheat, have induced
farmers to market their crops more
quickly. 9n
There are now about 1000 bushels
surplus Of wheat, which Is less than
it has been for the last two years.
There Is little more than 1000
bushels Of corn which is also less
than the surpIusage for the last two
years. All other crops show a lower
surplus than they have for the last
two years, except hay, Of which there
is large amount because Of the mild
winter.
The big wheat crop was marketed
rapidly because Of the high prices
and the general good road conditions
throughout the state. In many 10
calities farmers are expressing con-
eern because there will not be enough
wheat left for seed.
Farmers in many parts Of the state
report high prices and great demand
for oats, thus making the price above
the average.
Some localities in western districts
are rather short Of hay while in most
places there is 3 surplus. The mini
mum amount Of hay has been re-
quired because cattle have been able
70 range for themselves most OF the
winter.
Altogether conditions throughout
the state are exceedingly bright, and
the condition in many respects is one
of the most prosperous in all of the
states, showing a largest surplusage
Of crops.
