WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page u

terson-M Nc ormick feud has been de-
livered in an open challenge to "Prin-
cess Alice" to give a demonstration of
her much Wanted political sagacity
and influence. Mrs. Eleanor Patter-
son, nee Countess Gyzkya, nee Mrs
Elmer Schlessinger, is cousin Of
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick, candi-
date for the Senate from Illinois. She
recently assumed the editorship of a
Hearst morning newspaperDin the
Capital and directed attention to her
new job with questioning Mrs. Long
worth's sincerity in helping the Nc
Cormick campaign.
Not alone is society on its toes but
the politicians are likewise concerned
at the spectacle. Mrs. Patterson, who
assumed her maiden name, has dared
as only woman on the warpath would,
reputed influence over Senator Borah's
political views. 1t is one thing to
whisper but another when you shout
it from the housetops on the front
page Of a large newspaper. Mrs.
Longworth has a small and selected
circle of friends. Despite her position
as first lady of the Congressional set
by reason of her husbands position
As Speaker, she does not circulate
among legislators wives. In the Con-
gressional set, the Speakers wife has
been accused of "high-hatting" or ar
rogance for years. Naturally a chal-
lenge from another society woman,
how an editor, has provoked wide
spread discussion.

get good watch dogs around here, as
the bears are very numerous. L. L.

bears are so we'll trained that they
planted the stock back so it did not
show they had been dug. Alfred Ell
lott had four bushels of corn which
they took, not even leaving the cobs.
At. John Anderson's the bear must
have wanted onions, for he took all
their onions, also at Mrs. Florence
Seifkas'. He also wanted preserves,
for he stopped at Charles Bjork's and
took all their citron. 1t is hoped he
has his supply now for the winter.

AWAY WITH THE "POOR FARM

Reading my February copy of Sue
cessful Farming | was gratified to see
the letter from j. L. from Illinois and
your own opinion of how our aged are
cared for in this great Christian coun-
try. 1t is time for taxpayers to get
busy and do away with poor farms
that are expensive to the country, a
disgrace, and a sink hole of crime,
disease, and idleness.
Is it not a joke that the United
States, China and India are the only
countries that do not have old age
pensions or old age security? You
have in Iowa 81 poor farms which
have 1,945 males and LII females,
mostly pioneer old people, and these
3,116 people cost your state SO, III ,O87,
of which two-thirds goes for salaries
to political puppets. Under an old age
pension law these aged indigents could
live on a pension of 81 per day which
would cost Iowa only $3,O39,O29 for
these BIG people per year. So we
are paying the cost of being barbaric
and having poor farms in the richest
country on the globe.
Enclosed you will find an old age
pension bill which is now before the
Oregon legislature. BY examining it
you will see we ask no appropriation.
Why? Because we can keep an in
digent in his own home three years
with the one yearly appropriation to
maintain a poor farm.-F. E. ID.

Clara Phillips is serving a ten year to-life sentence in San Quen- tin penitentiary for the murder of Alberta Meadows, July F, 1922. Within eleven months of the slay- ing she had been arrested in flight at Tucson, Ariz., returned to Los Angeles and convicted, had escaped and had been recaptured in com pany with her sister, Etta May Jackson, and Carson, in Honduras.
 Carson told Captain Vim on December 5, 1922, he and Mrs. Jackson climbed to the cell of the murderess while she was awaiting transportation to the penitentiary they sawed the bars and fled with her, He said, contrary to the re- port, he never met Mrs. Phillips until the night before the escape.
 The. escape attracted nation-Wid attention for the murder had been one of the most horrible of record here. Calling himself "dupe" in the plot, Carson proceeded with his story.
 Tried to Kill Him
 Clara and Mae went to Redlands where they hid for several weeks. Then we started for Mexico.
 Tn Mexico City they tried to kill me, but I forestalled the at tempt. We proceeded to Honduras and stayed there until we were caught. We wouldn't have been caught if Mrs. Jackson hadn't wir- ed her husband in San Pedro, Cal, asking him to come to Honduras. A woman in his houes got hold of the telegram and tipped off the pclice." He said Mrs. Jackson now is in Tampico, Mex.
 What he called an erroneous story of the escape caused him to appear. My wife saw the story" he said, and we argued and sep arated" He indicated he hoped to effect a reconciliation now. His wife is Blanche E. Carson of II Anderson street, Cliffside, N J., where she lives with her parents.

 They do hope, however, to repair some of the damage by importing a blight-resisting species of chest nut tree from China and Japan which may take the place of the American chestnut, and which per haps may be crossed > with the American species to produce tree immune to the blight and at the same time somewhat similar to the American species.
