FARMERS TUNE IN ON NEARLY MILLION RADIOS Show Enormous Increase in Rural Sections —Get Information. Time* Washington Bureau. ISSt New York Avenue. WASHINGTON, March 12 American farm era now own nearly 1,000,000 radio sets, and are using them not only to hear city Jazz but programs of farm information. In 1923 the Department of Agriculture estimates, these were 145,000 farm sets in use, in 1924, there were 385,000 and early in 1925, there were 653,000. Improved broadcasting and increased power, together with the spread of better receiving sets on farms, will still further Increase the value of radio-spread information it is believed. One Station One station alone in three months received three thousand letters of commendation from farmers, country banks, country merchants and livestock shippers for its market and weather reports, it was said. The letters came from twelve surrounding States. Since Jan. 1, 1925, the department has made arrangements with about sixty stations to broadcast regularly scheduled department information. Cooperative arrangements to broadmarket news had been made about one hundred stations in all. Market News Broadcasting of market news atarted late in 1921. Wireless, in code, was flashed from Washington to “a few enthusiastic amateurs within 500 miles of Washington,” who were expected to copy the reports and post them in the village stores and markets, or turn them over to the town papers. Os necessity, the department says, farmers have had to buy high-priced Bets to reach long distances, the average farm set in 1923 costing about 3175. Better sets can now be bought for half the money, it is said. RABBIT KILLS TWO DOGS Cottontail Hoes a “Harold Grange," Hounds Collide Fat ally. Bu Times Special „ COLUMBUS. Kan., March 12.

Bu United Press FLORA, 111., March 12.—A series of poison murders equal to those of the Borgias of old Italy have been brought to light here, with the confession of Mrs. Elsie Bible Mallnsky, who has been taken to Joliet penitentiary to begin a life sentence.

OIL COMPANY SUED U. S. Alleges Texas Corporations Patent Obtained Fradulently. Bu Times Special 1 NEW YORK, March 12.—Cancellation of the patent now controlled by the Texas Company on its process for “crocking” gasoline was asked in an action filed Thursday in the United States District Court of Brooklyn by Federal Attorney Wil 11am A. De Groot on behalf of the Department of Justice. The contention of the Government is that the patent for the process was obtained fraudulently by Joseph 11. Adams of Brooklyn in 1917 by filing false affadavits in the patent office as to the priority of his discovery of the process, whereas the process is similar to that now in use by all American oil companies for the refinement of gasoline from crude oil.

WIDOW REPENTS SHOOTING MATE (Continued F’rom Page 1) from the sharp toe of his shoe was agony. I can t explain! I went wild with pain, something—don’t you suppose it was what makes us tight for life? Anyway, the thought of that gun in the bedroom sprang forward. ”1 forgot my love for Barth —because I really did love him—l forgot that great law ‘Thou shalt not kill’: I forgot everything but that awful stinging pain which seemed to reach out like a live thing and take hold of that gun. I don’t remember clearly what happened afterwards. They say I tried to shoot myself. I don’t remember, only I wish to God I had —first, before I shot my husband.” IJquor Blamed Mrs. Springer said her husband was a good man until about five years ago. “We were happy, and In the old days before prohibition came in we had liquor in the house —a moderate supply always, but I never knew him to get drunk. Some bootlegger got hold of him, and all at once he began drinking heavily. That was the end of our happiness. Even after that he was as good as gold when he wasn't drunk, hut there was always the shadow —the conviction that he would go back to it. “I did everything to help him—threw away liquor he brought Into the house, and begged persons to stop selling it to him. ‘Help me, Sarah, help me out of this,’ he’d often tell me and he's promise to never drink again, but it seemed as If he couldn’t get away from it. VNow here I am. I've done the most terrible thing a human being can do—l’ve killed another human being. I’m lost, but if he's at peace, it's all right,” and the soft voice trailed Into hopeless silence. Clung to Body “Honey, honey, let me go with you. don’t let them take me away
