= Of Staying THREE.
Paroled Convict Claims Re.
lations With Farmers Wife
Led to Crime.

ey the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, August Bred
haired Harry Singer, paroled convict
who was brought to State police head
quarters here, today amplif1ed his con-
fession of the Staying of three men,
bers of farm family near Wabash
Questioned by Capt. Matt Leach. the
25-year-old man who had been en-
ployed as q farm laborer, said that in
the absence of his employer, John
Fielding Wesley, he had been discov-
cred by Wesley's 12-year-old daugh-
ter Marjorie in an improper relation
ship with her mother
Singer said fear that the child would
tell her father caused him to kill Mrs.
Wesley with shotgun, club the child
to death and then shoot Wesley when
he returned to the farm.
Mad at Whole Outfit"
Singer reiterated, however. a state
were discovered yesterday buried in a
cow barn in which he asserted he was
mad at the whole outfit"
He declared he had been over
worked by his employer and was paid
irregularly.
Capt. Leach, who ordered Singer
brought here for questioning because
of dissatisfaction with his first con-
fession. said he still doubted some de-
tails of the former convicts story.
Leach said it was possible Singer had
been apprehended by the mother in
advances toward the daughter.
Singer showed considerable interest
In the amount of publicity his arrest
had attracted. He showed no remorse.
Glad" He Did 1t.
Sure I did it, and I'm glad" he
said. They mistreated me. They
worked me too hard"
Singer denied, however, any connec-
tion with the Staying last July 3 of
j, D. Bryant. %, of Detroit. Young
Bryant was killed near Wabash while
en- route to Louisville. KY, with his
sweetheart, 22-year-old Marguerite
Renkin, also of Detroit.
Leach said nothing had been discov-
cred to link Singer with the Bryant
murder. Investigation also absolved
Singer, Leach said, of any connection
with the ak murders two years ago of
Singers mother and brother. He was
reformatory prisoner at the time
Mrs. Mary Singer and Lonnie Singer
were killed, Leach explained,

CHURCHILL FEARS
NAz|D|CTATORSH|P
Says British Pacifists
Should Direct Attention
to Arming Powers.

LONDON Up.-Under fire for be-
ing war alarmist," Winston
Churchill has countered with a scath-
ing attack on English pacifists and a
prediction that England might easily
be brought uncer Nazi dictatorship"
The veteran statesman, long mill
tant figure in Britain's attempts to
gain new friendship with Germany,
unleashed a fiery diatribe on the So
called peace-at-any-price attitude of
George Jansbury and Canon Dick
Sheppard.
why do they waste their propagan-
da upon this island where the propor-
ton of men trained to arms is incom-
parably smaller than any great coun-
try in the world?" Churchill de-
manded.
why do they choose the most de-
fenseless, most unwarlike of all coun-
tries as the scene of their pacifist cam
paign? Why don't they preach their
gospel in countries where there is
real need Of it?
why. for instance, don't they 60
to Germany, where every man is a
soldier, where the entire population is
being welded into one vast fighting
machine? Where enormous stores of
the most deadly bombs and poison gas
are being accumulated? Where the
whole industry of the country is prac-
tically on a war basis where, an army
of millions of men is tramping the
barrack square? Where enormous
long distance bombing planes are be-
ing constructed with ceaseless rapidity
and in great numbers? And where
the whole mood and talk is of war.
and all education is directed to the
glories of dying in battle?
why do they not go to Spain.
where mems hands are actually raised
against each other in fratricidal
strife?
why, he continued, don't they g
to Italy where millions of armed men
are celebrating their so-called con
quest of Ethiopia or to Russia, which
is arming night and day?"
Churchill warned opponents of
Britain's new policy of rapid and
huge scale rearmament that unless
England hurries to keep up with a
swiftly rearming Europe, it will soon
become what Sir Edward Grey once
called "the conscript appendage Of
stronger power"

their houses, cleared their land to-
gether during the Winter and in the
Spring helped each other put in crops.
BY buying family supplies win
economy and by being as Independent
of Government help as they could,
they kept their Indebtedness to the
Government at minimum. And from
now on they plan to be getting out Of
debt instead Of further into 1t.
Number Have Sidelines.
There are others, too, who have
shown enterprise and ingenuity. For
example, Ballard Dean raises mink as
sideline to farming, Lloyd Bell is
experimenting with bees, Walter Pip
pie got the jump on every one by
shipping early vegetables to Anchor
age and Harry Sears ships poultry to
Fairbanks.
OF course, the extensive colony mar
keting is to be done through CO.
operative now in the formative stage.
The sky over this important phase Of
the project Is not without ominous
clouds.
The Government planned that old
settlers should join with new in mar
keting produce against the COMPETE
ton of Americans Pacific Northwest.
But, the Matanuska Valley Pioneer
says editorially 1T is becoming in
creasingly apparent that there will
never be 100 per cent cooperative
marketing and without just that there
will always be difficulty In standardiz-
ing prices.
"a surprising number (of old set
tlers) have said that they want moth
ing to do with any Government loans
or agreements.
Haven't they shown us all along
that We don't belong?' asked one.
Isn't it enough when they tell us
that we can't buy in the commissary,
for cash, while the colony group can
get anything it wants on credit? And
If want lumber which they sell on
30-year credit for S35 a thousand I
am told my money is not good. to buy
my lumber somewhere else, and that
means pay SIS for the same stuff
Attitudes Understandable.
Such attitudes are understandable
The old settlers came here on their
own. They made their own way, with
only strong backs and willing hearts.
They carved homes out of the wilder
ness. Then the Government moved in
200 families-twice as many as the
valley ever had before
The new pioneers became dominant.
They had Government help and credit.
But the old settlers still had just their
strong backs and willing hearts. They
believed the Government should
treat them as it treated its wards"
from the States. The streamlined
pioneers of 1886 looked like unfair
competition" to the oldtimers, and
now most of them do not feel like
joining with them until they're put
on about the same level.
That's little problem in social ad-
ministration that Uncle Sans plan
ners had not planned on. But along
about Fall. when there are things to
be sold. it's one that will have to be
met.

Col Elmer w. McDevitt of the l25th

The fire, still blazing in a heaviRy

tlemen out Of them, with Indifferent
success.
Now the whole culture of the Crows
had been built up around the bison,
probably for four or five centuries. 1t
is not an easy transition from the cul-
ture of one race to that of another,
and the Indian never made it very
successfully. With notable exceptions
he has languished and become pow
erty-stricken on his rich acres-a fact
probably due as much to white mis-
management as to his own ineptitude.
His lands were leased or sold White
farmers came on the reservation
White cattlemen leased the mountain
pastures. The Crows loafed and lived
on their lease money until the great
depression hit them.
Pasturage Excellent.
Such was the situation until this
dynamic Bobby Yellowtail-frst of
his race to attain the superintendency
of large reservation-came into the
picture. He gagged at the words
wards of the Government" and
looked over the Crow domain to see
what could be done about it. The
greater part of the empire" consisted
of mountains towering to heights Of
10000 feet, and dark pine-lined can
yons two miles deep. 1t was as scenic,
in its way, as the nearby Yellowstone
and contained almost as many natural
curiosities unrecorded in guldebooks-
for the land of the Crows was for
hidden to tourists. For three months
of the year, even during the dryest
eras when everything was burned be-
low, the pasturage in the mountain
glens was excellent. This Summer
there are great fields of grass waist
high and, as far as one can see
through the interstices of the dwarf
pines, thick carpets of blue mountain
asters and orchid-colored fireweed. It
was always cool there with plenty of
moisture. The land Is rich and might
produce record crops of almost any
thing if there was time enough.
But by mid-September Winter falls
upon the land. The mountain pas
lures are swept by tempests and
filled with drifts. Even the hardy
hunters and trappers get out so as
not to Starve to death. With the
first snowflakes the cattle and sheer
are driven to the lowlands and the
deep canyons left to the black bears
the grizzleys and the wolves. In the
past the Indians have pastured Their
own herds there or leased the land
to other live stock raisers. It Is nee
essary to feed the stock during the
Winter, which often is an economic
impossibility, especially in such q
year as this. If the lowland pastures
fail the Stockmen are out Of luck
Last Winter, for example, was one
Of the hardest ever experienced In
Montana and Wyoming. The Crows
had been given cattle by the Govern
ment-some Of these bought up in the
relief program during the drought Of
1884. Many of these cattle perisheo
and the latest benevolent effort to sci
up the Grows in the stock business
was an Indifferent success.
Moreover. cattle raising has become
in late years highly competitive
business In which many experienced
ranch men are going bankrupt. Tht
Crows were expected to compete with

DO WOMEN SUFFER
MORE THAN MEN?

Physicians tell us the nervous sys-
tenn of woman is more sensitive than
that of man. And her nerves are
more susceptible to the influences
that produce nerve tension" (strain)
which is only another name for
pain"
That is why women especially
benefit from Capudine, a pleasant
tasting, quick-acting remedy which
relieves high nervous tension and
pain by soothing the nerves. For
nervous headache, neuralgia, and
periodic pains Capudine is ideal. If
Capudine does not relieve, you may
be sure there is some organic condi-
ton which should receive the atten-
ton of your oculist, dentist or family
physician. Get Capudine today, and
if you do not prefer it to anything
else, the manufacturers will cheerfully
refund the price. Ask for Capudine

AT HINT OF SPRING.

,s1 had never seen the willows throw
Their thin arms out TO greet the
touch of Spring;
II had never heard a south wind
blow
~ soon q pair of bluebirds on the
wing;
Then I might take this miracle Of
change
- casual manner, without wondering,
put how can I, who know the near
by hills
when shy hepaticas hang down their
heads,
Help joining in the eagerness that
spills
Its wavering promise on the garden
beds
Until the cowslips in bright gowns
Of gold
Nod gayly to the song the wood
thrush trills?
All. Spring, if you would stay your
steps awhile
So that the red-buds need not fall
So that the lilacs growing thickly by
thes tile
Need not burst into bloom and Their
be past.
Yet while 1 speak, I wonder: could
we bear
Such eerie loneliness if it should last
Would you become just commonplace
and plain?
You. who come now with hesitatine
tread;
You, whose voice echoes in the April
rain?
would not have your wonder pass
Instead,
May you come trembling in youl
usual way
With bird-songs lifting gayly over
head!
