ment in handling the Letter ranch

yesterday, which included a history
Of the irrigation of Western farm
lands and surveyed the beet sugar in
dustry from Wyoming to Cuba.

the Countess of Suffolk, to remove
him as trustee of the Levi z. Letter
estate for alleged mismanagement.
Erection Of the Lake de Smet reser-
voir on the Wyoming property for
irrigation purposes. which the count.
ess charged lost the estate a million
dollars. Letter said, was approved in
1919 by the other trustees, who gave
their consent to the erection Of three
grain elevators, also attacked by the
countess.
He testified the reservoir location
was bought for $4,000 after an eX-
haustive survey, in spite of an origi.
nal demand of $500, 900 by it's owner.
Letter said the most profitable dis.
position of the ranch lands was to
uiEiue InelH ilto siildil Idcts worth
from $3.50 to $500 an acre. The
Countess of Suffolk had said that the
sale of small tracts was running the
ranch.
He defended the Letter sugar beet
interests. one of his hobbies. Asked
about sliding-scale contracts for sugar
beets. Letter replied hotly: They are
gambling propositions, and I didn't
think that I had a right as trustee to
enter in any such agreement They
give the grower all of the losses and
the refiner all Of the profits
"What kind Of a contract did you
make?" he was asked.
"a fiat contract" Letter snapped
back. depending upon nothing. We
were to get so much per ton and that

Mind you, not making the accusation; are

been showorod upon il from within the fold In New
York State alone find Bishop Fiske, of Central New

pressions of wisdom in the article but space is too
short to permit them all.
Just prior to that the August issue of the "Cosmo-

II. G. Wells who write tresomely at times, but
who is unqestionably the most fearless writer of the
age. In this article he issues "a Challenge To Modern
Women, and says of her, '"If you take its marvellous
clothes off and YOU wash off what you of its grease
and paint and powder, you will find poor little human
body of remarkable quality and a mind and char
acter of quality at ALL"
That will make the nit-wits among women mad
wet hens But the really sensible women, (of whom
there all too ew) will appreciate it for the truth

And Mr. Wells goes on to say that both men ana
women have been kidding themselves in thinking that
have always been inspired by do really

says, "and has yet written the story of wo

others have protected and aided but from the first

to add of my accord that for the part where
men have succeeded IT HAS BEEN IN SPITE OF
