MISFIT FARMERS ■ ARE BEAMED FOR AGRARIAN ILLS 1,500,000 Out of 6,000,000 Not Cut Out for Rural Life, Says Expert. Bu Time a Soecial BERKELEY, Cal., July 26.—How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm? Don't bother, theer are too many misfit farmers in America now, says R. L. Adams, professor of farm management at the University of California, and acting State market director. Adams says that at least 25 per cent of the farmers of the United States are “margfhal producers" being kept in the game by the bounty of nature and the bankers. These are gradually being forced to the cities, and as far as the calling of agriculture is concerned, they are good riddance, he says. "Out of the 6,000,000 American farmers there are 1,500,000 misfits,” said Adams. "Not hopeless misfits, but they must do one of two things. They mustr equi pthemselves so their jobs, learn their game and reorganize it along business lines, or they must get out. Farming is no sinecure. A farmer is both capitalist and laborer. He needs to have i sound business training and the abil- ’ ity to produce scientifically. It takes a rare combination. Most farmers know how to produce; few know the business of selling.” Adams sees little hope from the efforts of farm blocs, subsidies or other tampering with the economic laws. He thinks the tariff has helped oily a few farmers. High city wages benefit farmers by maintaining the home market. "Farmers are equallly foolish to fight the unions or to join with them politicall,” he declared. SALMONSHORTAGE BOOSTSREVENUE U. S. Importers Buy Heavily From Canada. Bu Times Soecial • VANCOUVER, B. C., July 2.V Shbrtage of salmon in the American market increased the revenue of British Columbia fisheries by $2,000,000 last year, according to report of the department of marine and fisheries issued here. Value of the province’s salmon catch was $12,385,098 compared with $10,317,992 in 1924, in spite of the fact that the 1925 pack was 26,000 cases smaller. f "Uiiited States importers bought 75 per cent of the British Columbia salmon pack,” says the report. ‘"Average price to producers was $7.20 a case, compared with $5.90 in 1924. Total pack in 1925 was 1,720,622 cases, compared with 1,747,505 cases the year before. '-•‘Value of all fisheries production In British Columbia totaled $22,420,253, including fresh, canned, and cured fish. The 1925 value was the highest since the record year of 1919 when it reached $25,301,607. Halibut ranked secohd to salmcn as a revenue producer, returning $3,898,385, followed by herring with a production value of $1,721,232."

Similar Systeries Solved Through Seemingly Worthless Clews. By NBA Servide How difficult it is for the murderer to cover all his tracks! The dismembered body of a young woman recently was found near Boston. In a few days the police cleared .up this mystery, revealing that Miss Edith Louise Greene had died after an illegal operation which her sweetheart had arranged. The work of the police in this case is in striking contrast to the detective work that has led to the solution of similar crimes that have shocked the nation during the last thirty years. In the Boston case, reconstructed newspaper sketches and photographs of the young woman’s head led tc her prompt identification and gave the police clews. Bits of Evidence But ih other cases, clews tlhave seemed utterly worthless have finally led to the arrest of the murderers, after months of ceaseless and brilltaht detective work. •In five outstanding cases, the murderers sought to cover their tracks by dismembering or otherwise disposing of the body. They felt that if the body could be hidden, no one would ever accuse them of the crime. But in all the casep some tiny bit of evidence dropped by the murers In the efforts to conceal the body of the victim have led to a solution of the crimes. Shoes Reveal Slayers Consider, for instance, the case of Pearl Bryant, murdered in Newport, Ky., in 1896—a crime that drew firstpage headlines for weeks all over the country. One morning her headless body was found in a yard on the edge of town. It was partly clad; apparently there were no possible means of identifying it. Detectives found one slim cl?w—a trademark label and serial number on one of her shoes. But that clew was enough. After a month's work the shoe was traced to a store at Dayton, Ohio. Through the store the detectives managed to identify the girl. She came from Indiana. They went to her home town, made extended inquiries, and finally arrrested two

WOMAN, 76, DIGS . GOLD WITH PICK Has Worked Famous Mine for Last 16 Years. Bu Timet BoeHal REDDING, Cal.. July 26—Far back in the mountain range which parallels the .Pacific Coast line in this section of northren California, a 76-year-old woman is making her living by wielding shovel, pick and drill in quest of gold. But she Is not. a “gold-digger” In the sense. The woman is Mrs. Emma C. Mable, who has worked a portion of the famous old Brown Bear mine at Deadwood for the last sixteen years. The mine was one of the richest in the State during its halcyon days and yielded sl2,ooo,ooo*in gold. * , / Mrs. Mable took a lease on an out. cropping vein when the were closed down in 1910. She has been following out a narrow stringer of ore which produced SIOO in gold to the ton. She has Just had thirty tons milled. The earnings of $3,000 represent a year’s work.

young dental students, who confessed after an extended questioning. “It w'as that damned shoe did it,” one of the men cried out, after he had been lodged in jail. Rings Did It And then there was the famous Susan Geary case in Boston, in 1905. Two diamond rings solved it. A suit case was found floating on the surface cf Boston harbor one morning. In it was the torso of a young woman. Head, arms and legs were missing. Police investigated for a month, hut learned absolutely nothing. Then another suit case came floating ashore. In it were the arms and legs of the victim. one of the fingers were two diamond rings. These the police kept as their sole clew. The Boston Post, about that time, was informed that an actress had quit a road show that was appearing in Boston shortly before the first suitcase was found. The company w r as then playing in Pittsburgh. The Post learned that the girl's family lived in Cambridge. Mass. Photographs of the rings were showed members of the family, who positively identified them as belonging to the missing girl—Susan Geary. Thus the name of the victim was known. Quizz Friends Quizzing of the girl’s friends led to the arrest of two men, who confesed that they had performed an illegal operation on the girl, that she had died as a result and that they had tried to dispose of her body. If these men had removed the rings from the girl’s fingers they might have escaped detection forever. Even less tangible was the clew by means of which New York police. in 1913, solved a startling torso mystery. Trace Pillow Slip A woman’s body, cut Into fragments, wrapped up and weighted, was found In the Hudson River. Apparently there was no possible way of Identifying the victim. The only thing police had to work on was the fact that one of the fragments had been wrapped in a pillow tick, to which the manufacturer’s tag still adhered. Two detectives went to the factory where the pillow tick had been made. Since the tag contained a serial num-

RECALL FRONTIER DAYS —i Cowboys Stage Ten Day Cattle Drive Into Kansas. Bu United Prenn MATFTELD GREEN, Kan., July 26.—Harking back to former days when fences were unknown in these parts and when cowboys abounded the large ranches, cattlemen of the Flint Hills secton of Kansas have found trailing cattle a more economical method of moving them than shipping by rail. Long trails of dust laden clouds were seen near here this spring when Crocker Brothers, extensive cattle raisers of this country, moved a herd of more than 2,500 head by trailing from the Osage country in Oklahoma to Chase and Butler counties of Kansas. The cattle had been wintered on pastures in the Osage country. The greater part of the herd was rounded up in the vicinity of Foreaker, Okla., and driven to the south part of Chase County, Kan. According to the owners, the drive required ten days. The Crocker Brothers found that the expense of bringing the herd into Knsas for the summer to be between 30 an 40 per cent less than the cost of transportation by rail would have totaled.

ber, the company was able to tell them to what store the tick had originally been sent. To this store, In Manhattan, went the detectives. The storekeeper had received twelve ticks from the company. Ten were,still In stock. One of the two that had been sold was speedily eliminated from consideration. The other, it developed, had gone to a ma.i who had Just moved into anew apartment. At the apartment it was said that the man had rented it for his daughter, who had gone away leaving her suite locked. Accordingly, the police broke in at night and searched the place. The pillow tick was missing from the bed! The occupant of the apartment had been a girl named Anna Aumuller. The detectives learned where she had been employed, talked with her former employer and from him learned the name of her cousin. The cousin told them ol a clergyman, Hans Schnjldt, who had known Anna for many years. Then the detectives sought out the clergyman/ When they introduced themselves to him as police officers and mentioned Anna’s name he turned pale and nearly collapsed. Within three hours he had made a detailed confession to the murder. The famous Leopold-Loeb murder In Chicago was solved from a clew fully as Insignificant-looking. The youthful murderers of Bobby Franks had planned their crime with extreme care—but one of them had ac cldentally dropped a pair of spectacles near the place where they hid the body. The spectacles were traced —and Leopold and Loeb went to prison for life. So it was in the recent Boston case. There seemed no clew whatever to the identity of the dismembered victim. But .newspaper photographers cleverly reconstructed photographs of her, these were printed in newspapers, relatives identified her as Edith Louise Greene — and her slayers were brought to book When a hold-up man shoots down his victim and runs he stands a good chance of getting away clear. But wfien a man carefully plots a murder and, goes to painstaking lengths to hide the body and conceal all trace of his handiwork —he Is almost certain to leave some clew that will lead to his undoing.

according to James O. Fagan, historian and director of the Old South Meeting House. Elizabeth Foster, horn in the Charlestown section of this city in 1665, was the original Mother Goose, Fagan claims. She married Isaac Goose in 1693. Her eldest daughter married Thomas Fleet, who conducted a printing* business •in \ Pudding Lane (now Devonshire St.)i Following her husband's death, Mrs. Goose went to live with her daughter. When her daughter’s first child was born Grandmother Goose was much delighted, and spent considerable time singing songs and ditties of her own composition for the baby’s benefit. Fleet, a lover of quiet, scolded ad coaxed, but in vain. Grandmother Goose continued her songs. Unable to silence the old lady. Fleet decided to capitalize the rhymes and jingles. He collected the ditties and published them under the title “Songs for the Nursery, or Mother Goose’s Melodies for the Children.” STUDY TRAFFIC RULES Swedish School Children Taught to Avoid Accidents. Bu United Prett STOCKHOLM.

SLEUTH AGENCY HAS EXPANSION < ■IN EMI YEARS Quigley - Hyland Detective Bureau Invaluable to Business. The business of the Quigley--Hyland Detective Agency, 801 Guaranty Bldg., has expanded tremendously since the company offices were relocated last month and prospects for Increased business are good, acording to John W. Lovett, superintendent. The agency has developed auditing services along with general detective business, he said, which has made necessary an enlarged force of operatives and shopping force. "There has been a demand for our services from concerns that are anxious to check up on their employes. We go into a store with our operatives and we are able to test out courtesy, ability in salesmanship, merchandising methods and general honesty. It means much to a merchant to be certain of these things. Through our service, we are able to give a confidential re port that means a real saving of money and a basis for advancing business interests.” The company was incorporated eight, years ago last May as a private detective agency. It occupied a small room in the Law Bldg. The company then moved to the National City Bank Bldg., three years ago, but the growth of the business of the agency necessitated another move to large available quarters and the agency was re-located last month in the new Guaranty Bldg. Headed by James F. Quigley and Martin J. Hyland, experienced de tectives and business men, the agency stands as one of the foremost in the State. In fact, both Quigley and Hyland, because of their services with the Indianapolis police department in former years, have established national reputations in ferreting out criminals.

MODERN TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE AT MODERATERATES U-Drive System Able to Lease Cars for State Tours. In the days of our grandfathers lumbering stage coaches could be obtained under certain conditions to transport persons comparatively short distances for a rather "steep” charge, but today when a young man wants to make a "flying trip” out over the State to see his girl, and he does not own an automobile, he can get one from the U-Drive System, 38 Kentucky Ave., enjoy the trip and come back home, ready for work without great expense. Walter T. Boyer, proprietor of the U-Drive System, has recently added an eight-cylinder vertical-eight Ricker>backer car to his stock of automobiles availiable for service by the system to responsible persons. Boyer has also added Oakland automobiles to the service. He has had Fords and Chryslers to rent out to persons, but in order to give a greater variety of service he decided to try out Oaklands and the Rickenbacker car for higher grade service. All cars sent out by the system are carefully overhauled and expert mechanics are employed to keep all cars In first-class condition, Boyer said. “Business is fine at present and we are satisfied with good vacation conditions,” he reported. Anew glass department for installing windshields, car glass of all sizes has recently been established at 124 S. Capitol Ave. by the system. Machinery to make *ll types of installation of glass has been added to the system.
