Italy and the Philippines. Most of the Junior Red Cross service work has been done by the elementary schools. The chapter hopes that during this year, each high school in the county will plan one project to be carried out by the pupils in class or by committees. The high schools of Atlanta, Ga., which lead in Junior Red Cross work, have made more than $3,000 for the national children's fund, which is used to carry on a school in Albania, one in Vienna ami one in Bulgaria for Russian refugees, and for relief work. ( Each school is urged to plan to contribute to this fund each year, through the local chapter. Besides contributing to this fund, the Atlanta schools * have sent boxes to the soldiers and ' Indians and built a play house for the children at the I. B. Sanitarium. Officers of the Adams county chap- * ter are anxious that every school in the county enroll in the Junior Red Cross and to plan to take part in 1 some phase of the national program, ' so that next year Adams county will ‘ have a representative at the national 1 convention. o f BERNE SCHOOL TAKES LEAD IN COUNTY CONTEST (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) t Charles Stolz. 1 Decatur — Harold Melchi.

WITCHERY SEEN IN MURDER OF AGED SEERESS — Georgia Woman May Have Been Slain Bv Victim Os “Hex” By Edward W. Lewis (United Press Staff Correspondent) Atlanta. Ga., —(UP)—The strange I case of Martha Russell. 80-year-old : “seeress," murdered in her little red ; cottage March 17. has balked police and private investigatois, and left an eerie feeling in the city of Rome, Ga., where she lived, that there was much in the realm cf witchcraft behind the ( slaying Among the superstitious negroes ' and white farmers of northern Georgia there is a tiadition that no gun can '

kill a “witch.” Miss Russell was slain with a knife. Her throat was cut three times anti she also was stabbed in the breast. The woman who had made a name through the countryside as a fortune teller, and spinner of “voodoo charms" came from Scotland many years ago. The black arts and superstitions of the heaths and moors of her native land were said to have been part of her stock in trade. Into the dim parlor of her little cot-1 tage thousands had come through the years, white and black, to ask her aid., Some wanted enemies “hexed " Others wanted to find lost jewelry. The majority wanted advice on love problems. The little old woman, described as having long grey white hair, a wrinkled face with a heavy growth of hair on her chin and upper lip, would pound an old cane, and in a wheezy voice dele out her warnings and suggestions. Money Not Taken In boxes she kept dried spiders, various roots and herbs, dried frog skins, watermelon seeds and string beans. These charms were sold for various sums, depending on the seriousness of the questioner's ailment A mechanic, suffering from a skin disease, found her body when he came to receive aid. The body lay on the floor, blood about it. Boxes of charms were opened. Oddly enough S2OO in bills was left untouched. Who killed Martha Russell remains as much a question today as the day of the murder. It was certain she had either a premonition or a casual fear of death. A few days before she was slain she called a neighbor to the fence and said, "Look out for me. Something is going to happen.” One illuminating letter was'found in her possessions. It left little light on the murder mystery, but a great deal on her activities and indicated some

ROUNDUPS OF WILD HORSES UN INDUSTRY Thousands Os Animalsj Roam Western Plateaus And Deserts Ogden. Utah. April 3—(UP) Wild horses are commercialized In many i places throughout the west, and an Industry has grown up in Montana, Idaho, Nevada. Utah. California and Oregon for the capture, killing and marketing Although few people know it, there ate thousaiwls of wild horses roaming the deceits and plateaus today, just as there were a hundred years ago. An Ogden man. Clyde H. England. 25, has built up a fair-sized business in the sale of wild horses and dead domestic stock to a by-product plant that renders the can-ass and makes soap fat. leather and chicken feed out of the animals. England has been engaged in the business for about three years. Dm ing the part of the year that he is not engaged in obtaining wild horses in northern Utah and southern Idaho, he hauls away and sells horses and cattle that have died or have been killed in accidents. Wild Horse Round-ups "I don't care for this part of the work.” England said. But it has to be done and I can earn an honest living doing it. "But 1 do like to get out in the deserts and attend the wild horse roundups There is something about the tang of the mountain air and life round the campfire that gets in a man's blood. "Chasing wild horses is very strenuous for a domestic horse, and we have to change saddle ponies everv other day during the roundups. Lots of days our efforts are in vain. Other days we land as higlt as 15. Those wild horses are as wild as deer and can smell a man a lyng way off. Although they have never worn shoes their feet are tough as flint. “There arc very few pintos left. The animals are mostly black and bays and have been in-bred until they are worthless for draught, and too tricky i for the saddle. They can endure a groat deal of hardship and go a long time without fcod or water. They live on what they can find in the way of sparse grass and shrubs. The cattle and sheep owners are glad to have them taken off because they claim j I one wild horse will eat as much as |

two cows or six sheep. "A man must, he experienced to know how to capture a wild horse. They are found uraund watering holes and springs, mostly in the early morning The riders form a big circle and close in, driving the animals towards it heavy post stockade corral with long wings built out of the aides.
