to everyone quick as Jason was buried.
Folks round about here are fond of
Marcia an feel she's been cheated out
of what was her rightful due. They
want her to begin anew an have what
she'd oughter have had years ago-a

"Abbie !"
IT'S true. An why, pray, shouldn't
the men cast sleeps eyes at Marcia?
Can you blame 'em? She'd be one wife
in a hundred could a body win her.
There amt a thing she can't do from
shinglin' a barn down to trimmin' a
hat. She's the match of any old salt
at sallin' a boat an can pull an oar
strong as the best of 'em. Along with
that she can sew, cook, an mend; pillow
an plant; paper a room. It's a marvel
to me how she's kept III of matri-

"She ce~rtainly's takin' her time. She
don't pear to be in no hurry to get a
husband" smiled Rebecca.
"Why should she be? Her parents
left her with money in the bank an
the Homestead to boot, an Marcia was
smart enough not to let Jason make
ducks and brakes of her property"
"All men mightn't fancy havin' a
wife hold the tiller, though"
ANY man Marcia Howe married
would have to put up with It," Abbie
asserted, biting off a needleful of
thread with a snap of her fine white
teeth. "Marcia's always been captain

Behind him tagged his crony, Lemuel

inquired Of her husband.
"Oh. nothin' much" answered the
big, loose jointed fellow, shuffling into
the room. "We've been settin' out,
drinkin' In the air."
The carelessness of the reply was a
trifie overdone, and instantly aroused
the keen-eyed Abbie's suspicious.
She glanced into his face.
"Where you been settin'?" she de-
manded.
"Settin'? Oh, Lemmy an me took

Omens for Luck
Are Still Guide
Superstition Rules Many
Activities, Especially
in England.

Old superstitions remain and new
ones are added. When winners in
the Irish Sweep were asked to say
TO what they attribute their good
luck, a heavy percentage replied that
they had a 'lucky number" to thank.
(The number - vas considered both
lucky and unlucky.)
Others attributed their good for
tune to spiders, money spiders" par
tlcularly, and one individual believed
he won because he had carried a
piece of coal about with him since
the dawn of 1888. One gave the
credit to n fall Of oak leaves upon
hum, and another wrote. Last year
was the first time that swallows built
or my property, and my wife said
Immediately, oh, don't disturb them,
swallows bring good luck"
In England superstition is not con-
fined to the countryside it is to be
found even In the center of business
London. No member of the Roths-
child family, for instance, will shake
hands with a customer in his own
bank 0r place of business. The
Rothschilds consider it unlucky TO
do so.
Again, London's Bush house has
eight of its pillars ornamented and
one plain. The idea, derived from
the ancient Greeks, is that God alone
can achieve perfection and that man
therefore could not attempt it.
Practically every member of the
London Stock exchange carries a
mascot. One especially favored is a
crooked coin, a sixpence for choice.
But for the crooked coin to bring
luck it must have been given to you.
You must not have received it in
change.
For the last 20 years, a well-known
diamond merchant asserts, the for

Which is food for thought if you
seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest methods yet dis

Four special trains with fixed sched-

Attorney General Wilentz said the
prosecution would bring witnesses to
refute any such evidence. With his
list of witnesses reduced, he hoped to
complete his case this week. The de-
Tense estimated another two weeks
would be required for presentation Of
its case.
The first witness will be Hauptmann

no. to the first six, as to whether he
had any part in various phases Of the
crime. To the seventh-where did he
get the ransom money found In his

Hauptmann's wife Anna, his chief

DIRECT MARKETING
OF HOGS NOT Cause
OPL0WERED PRICES
Spokesman for Agriculture De.
partment Answers Farm
Organization Criticism

Washington, d. c., Jan. 14.-E-A
spokesman for the agriculture de-
partment said Monday that the direct
marketing Of hogs was not respon-
sible for lower hog prices.
The practice Of big packers sending
representatives into rural districts to
buy hogs for shipment direct to their
packing plants had been criticized BY
farm organizations and legislators Is
reducing competition and lowering
prices.
Nils A. Olsen, chief Of the bureau
Of agricultural economies which un.
dertook detailed Investigation at the
request Of Secretary Wallace, re-
ported Monday the study showed d.
rect marketing Is not Instantaneous
to the producers.
Two Of the major criticisms voiced
previously against direct marketing
were answered directly In Olsens re-.
port. Packers have been accused Of
buying better hogs In the field and
basing the price on the quotations for
lower grade hogs shipped to terminal
markets. Olsen reported the study
showed almost the same percentage Of
hogs consigned for sale and those
bought direct In each Of the general
grades, choice, good, medium and Gull.
Competition Sufficient
Competition among markets. public
and direct, was judged sufficiently
effective to prevent prices over any
period being materially
out OF line. This conclusion was In
answer to charges OF direct marketing
critics that packers were able to
manipulate public market prices and
buy direct on the basis Of lowered
prices.
The growth Of direct marketing Of
hogs and other livestock was attrib-
uted in the report to changing trans
portation conditions which resulted in
the development Of strong interior
markets. Declining shipments to pub
lie markets, the report said, made It
necessary for packers to buy In the
field to assure themselves q supply for
their plants.
The report said the result has
substantially reduced the number Of
hogs received for sale at public mar
kets which has adversely affected the
interests Of stockyard operators and
market agencies at some public
markets.
While the report concluded direct
marketing was not Instantaneous
to producers, it recommended several
changed practises. These included
establishment Of uniform grading
standards, supervision Of scale facil-
tiles at interior markets and extern
sion Of the federal market news SER
vice to give farmers q better picture
Of available outlets for their hogs.
The sharp decline In hog prices IN
recent years was blamed on drastic
reductions in consumer incomes and
the reduced foreign demand for Am.
erican hog products.

Asks Papers Appointed
It was suggested change be made

taking the matter out Of politics. To
that end 1t was recommended that

OF Hauptmann's story that he re-
ceived the Lindbergh ransom money
from Fsch.
"Of course, may not know every
thing about the case" Uhlig said but
I am prepared to tell what I know"
Uhlig went to Germany with Fsch
a few months before death sealed the

Although he said he believed the

had no knowledge OF its contents
when Fisch sailed for Germany, he
asserted in an interview:

that lsador actually kidnapped the

In all, Fsch borrowed no less than

Uhlig said that in Germany Fisch
