6RUIT drinks have now become
Ut regular and most welcome
4 lpart of the summer. One of
the most delectable ingredients of
these frosty connections is grape
fruit juice put up in cans which is
here to stay because it's so good.
One proof of this permanence is
that company in Florida which
already operates two large grape
fruit canneries at Eagle Lake and
Lake Alfred is now planning to build
the largest grapefruit cannery in the
world at Winter Haven, but the
best way to convince yourself of it
is to try out some of the following:

A. Lower Feed Grains
In, Earlier In the Week

Canada continued unfavorable dur
ing the past week. lazy thresh-
ing returns of spring wheat in
northwestern Minnesota and east
ern North Dakota are of good quail
ity. Tests fthe few samples sub
mitted indicate an average protein
content of about 1914 per cent,
with a range from 11.40 to 1890
per cent. Montana spring wheat is
testing higher, averaging 15.20%
protein. Premiums at Minneapolis
were still weak. Mills were report
ed buying carefully and apparent
ly giving testweight as much at
tention as protein content. For in
sance, no additional premium was
paid for 1496 protein wheat at
Minneapolis unless the testweight
was high. 1870 No. 1 dark northern
was quoted on Aug. 2 at that mar
ket at the September price of
$1.44 7-8 to lie under; 1870 at the
September price to &C over; and ID
per cent &c to 12c over. The cash
durum market was weak and un.
settled. The first cars of new crop
durum from South Dakota showed
high protein content with a few
cars testing 1876 per cent protein.
However, they were graded down
to No. 8 or on account of their
weight and the color was only fair
to good. No. 1 amber durum or
No. 1 mixed was quoted nominally
at $1.31 7-8 to $1.34 7-8 per bushel.
Harvesting of spring wheat has
been completed in southern Mime
sofa with a loss from stem rust
estimated at 10 to Is per cent. The
stem rust damage in west central
Minnesota where the crop is ripe
is placed at 25 to 80 per cent. In
the northern portion of the state
and in the Red River Valley the
crop is practically mature and is
being harvested with slight rust
damage. Stem rust is not damag.

part of the state there is heav!
rust with crops two wekes from

Six Murder Mysteries in One Family
Doctor Accused of Staying Wife Relies Oh Battling Chain
of Crimes to Prove His Innocence and Win Freedom

Olathe, Kas., Feb. l9.-(NEA)-A
mysterious curse that brought death
to six members Of one family In the
course Of q third Of century Is cited
BY Dr.. 8. G. Netherton, retired Olathe
physician, o. the real reason for the
murder Of his wife nearly two years
ago.
And on this strange explanation.
unsatisfactory as the courts thus far
have found It. Dr.. Netherton bases his
hope Of being freed from serving the
rest Of his life Ia prison.
He was convicted some months ago
Of the murder Of his wife, and Is now
waiting for the Kansas supreme court
to pass on his appeal. His appeal Is
based on his denial Of guilt and his
suggestion that the weird. unex-
planned curse that, he says, hung over
his wife's family was responsible for
her death.
Now he says he fears for the life OF
his o-year-old daughter, Dorothy.
I'm afraid she Is the next on the
murderer list" he says. IT go to
prison, she viii be left to the mercy
Of those who appear bent on wipins
out my wife's family"
A graduate Of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity and q world traveller. DR..
Netherton retired and settled on a
suburban farm here with his wife a
decade ago. Mrs. Netherton was
well-to-do; she possessed property
v6rth 800 900. but none of the neigh
bora ever suspected 1t. The Neither
tons lived frugally. The only money
they ever spent for anything except
actual necessities went to buy dresses
and toys for little Dorothy.
In February, 1927, Mrs. Netherton
was found, shot to death, In the base
ment of their home. The bullet had
come from behind.
Circumstantial evidence pointed to
DR.. Netherton, and he was arrested
and brought to trial. He insisted he
had been in town at the time Of the
murder, but was unable to prove It
His attorneys tried to bring into court
the tale of the previous murders ir
Mrs. Netherton's family, but the Judge
would not admit the evidence. DR.
Netherton was convicted.
DR.. Netherton admits that he !!
unable to explain the strange chain o.
killings. He firmly believes that some
person or persons have followed his
wife's family for years, trying to wip'
it out OF existence, but why this Il
being done he has no idea. At an,
rate, here Is his list Of the crimes:
In 1852 Dode Strahl, trapper
and q nephew of Mrs. Netherton!
mother, was shot to death neal
Deadwood. s. D.
A few years later Roll Strahl
Dode's brother, was found shot t,
death In = farm wagon at Extra
Iowa.
The same year. Colbert Strahl
father of the two slain men. was sho
to death while riding on his hors'
from the town of Extra to his farm.
In 1916 Arthur Strahl, q first cousil
Of Mrs. Netherton, was shot to dealt
in Chicago.
Four years later Paxton Muir,
second cousin Of Mrs. Netherton, wa
found murdered in a Los Angeles no
tel.
No arrests were ever made in an
of these murders.
It Is upon this story that d
Nctherton depends to save him fror
serving the life sentence to which h
has been sentenced.

Nomination Of Finis ]. Garrett
as Customs Appeals Judge
Is Confirmed

Washington, Feb. 19-(AP)-Pro-
hibition again occupied the spotlight
in congress today but the intense In
terest manifest yesterday over the
Borah- Reed debate was lacking.
There was perfunctory debate in
the senate over the Jones bill to in
crease the penalties for prohibition
violators but it came as an anti-cli-
max to the stirring scenes enacted
while the Missouri and Idaho sena-
tors were debating the question.
Senator Bruce, Maryland, wet,
started the debate today in a speech,
asserting that conditions Is to dry
law enforcement in Idaho were
shocking"
Tariff Rates Considered.
The house worked on its routine
calendar business, while its princi-
pal committee reached the question
of carillons and other bells in con-
sideration of tariff rates.
Former Senator Irvine L. Lenro0t
was called before = senate commit
tee which is considering his nomtna-
ton as a Judge on the court OF GUS
tom appeals.
A solution of the problem Of how
much more should be appropriated
for prohibition enforcement was ad.
vanced by President Coolidge who
drew up an estimate of $2,427 ola to
be submitted to congress in the
place of the $4,000, 900 fund advo'
Gated by the senate.
The senate has confirmed thu
nomination Of Finis j. Garrett, Dem
ocratic leader to be judge OF thu
court of customs appeals but two
other nominations, those OF Irvine
Lenroot, former senator from Wis
consin, and Henry Classic, former
Democratic member of the tariff
commission, are pending.
Chairman Norris of the judiciar!
committee named Senator Borah, o.
Idaho, chairman of subcommittee
to consider the nomination Of Len
root.
Classic Was Assailed
Classic was attacked several years
ago when he was q member OF tn
tariff commission by Senator Robin
son. Arkansas. Robinson contende'
that Classics family was interested
in the sugar business. Classic wa
not reappointed to the tariff com
mission.
