earned ber dollar:
I have always heard that to save
to earn,
Now where the money goes I have yet
to learn.
For many years I have practiced this
rule,
Yet still I sit on the dunce's stool.
Old dresses I've made to look like new,
Changed left-over beefsteak Into a
stew,
Tried to look on three sides of a dollar,
Paid gas bills when I wanted a fur
collar.
I've made my dollar In so many ways,
Should I tell half you would be here
days and days.
Tho" the problem's not solved I stick
to the rate,
And pass It on to Miss Opal's school-
To save Is to earn."
Then Dr. Vines addressed the asso
ciation and made a splendid talk that
was greatly enjoyed by all present,
The vote was then taken for the
cash prize of $2.50 and was given to

GAVEL FALLS 0 I'OrKT.
Chicago, Oct 14. History repeated
Itself after 2,000 years, as the opera
tions of a band of gland thieves were
reported to Chicago police today.
Two men were reported within the
last 24 hours as having been preyed
upon by the gland robbers.
Captnin Thomns Coughlln, head of
the police squad investigating the
strange crimes, advanced the theory
that the gland-snatchers were operat
ing under orders of a wealthy aged
Chlcagoan seeking rejuvenation.
Tho robbers, according to Captain
Conghlln, removed one gland from
each victim.
There was a startling similarity In
the manner In which the two men
wore robbed.
Both were strong healthy virile men.
Joseph Woznlnk, the first victim met
several congenial companions In a
saloon and later was- kidnaped and
drugged. When he regained conscious
ness the operation had been perform
ed.
Soveral hours after the Woinlnk
case waa reported, a woman cauea
police headquarters and said her hus
band had ben a victim of the glnnd
robbers while Intoxicated. Police
rushed to the home to make a thor
ough investigation.
The Woznlok operation was per
formed by someone familiar with the
technique of a surgeon. Wozntak was
beset in the clinical district of the city.
leading Dr. Walter Sullivan of Mercy
Hospital to advanco the theory that
some Interne employed In a clinic had
been induced by a wealthy man to fol
low his desires.
The operation could be performed
In n back room of a saloon, or any
other such place within 10 minutes by
anyone familiar with surgery," said
Sullivan.
The Mason Circuit Court for the fall
term was adjourned by Judge j. u.
Nowell Saturday and In the drop of
the Judge's gavel, one of the most un
eventful sessions' of the local court
was brought to a close. Plans will
Immediately start for the next term
which opens in December and Indica
tions are that many of the cases which
have been hanging fire for months will
be forced to trial.

HAYING FOXES DISMISSED
On Motion of Commonwealth Appeal
From Magistrate's Court Under Fish
and Game Law Is Dismissed.
In the Mason Circuit Court, the two
charges of having wild foxes chained
on his farm, against Mr. Darius Bald
win, of the. county, appealed from
'Squire Fred W. Bauer's court was dis
missed on motion of the Common
wealth. The cases against Mr. Baldwin were
prosecuted by a game warden who
found two young foxes chained on
Mr. Baldwin's farm several weeks ago.
Tho charge were brought In 'Squire
Fred Bauer's court and in that court
the defendant was fined $25 and costs
on each offense. The fine was first

Slain Man's Daughter Tolls Grand
Jury Story and Her Mother and
. Stepfather aro Charged With
Murder at Once. .
Bardstown, Ky., Oct. 13. Mtb. Beu:
lah Lndsey, widow of Cliarllo M. Vance
murdered in his home, six miles from
here. In August, 1921, named with her
husband, Joseph Llndsey, former hir
ed man for the slnin man, in a Joint In
dlctment charging murder, returned
today by a Nelson county grand Jury,
was at liberty tonight under bond of
$2,B00. Security for the bond was fur
nished by A. B. Cheatham, of Taylors
vtlle. Llndsey had not been able to se
cure bond In an aqual amount and
was in Jail.
The couple had been arrested after
the crime, but were relased at exam
Inlng trials. They were married last

home after a wedding trip.
The Indictment was returned on the
changed story of Allle Nolan Vance,
16-year-old daughter of the accused-
woman, according to the declaration
of a friend of the girl.
Allle, who was held for a time short
ly after the murder on a charge of be
ing criminally connected with It, told
the grand Jury Tuesday,. It was said
that her mother said to her on the
night that her father was shot. "You
know too much already. I have seen
Joe, and we have killed nim. Go and
mil the neighbors."
This story was In direct contradic

m'd that her parents wer on affection
jte terms with each other and that she
called the neighbors after her mother
had screamed to her that her father
had been murdered by a stranger who
had mysteriously entered their home.
