SAYS DEVIL MADE
HIM MURDER FOUR
Greeley, Colo., May 7.—Four mur-
der charges were filed against James
V. Foster, 49, salesman, following his
alleged admission Thursday that he
burned his wife and three children
to death.
“I must have been crazy. The devil
made me do it,” Sheriff W. W. Wyatt
quoted the prisoner as saying.
Mrs. Foster and the children, Mil-
dred, 11; Geraldine, ”, and Darline,
19 months old, were fatally burned
early last Tuesday when gasoline was
thrown over their beds and ignited.
Bridge Party
Mrs. J. M. Badt and Mrs. Hiram
Brown were joint hostesses to the
Thursday Bridge Club at the home of
Mrs. J. M. Badt with three tables of
bridge. Beautiful spring flowers
were used in profusion, adding a love-
ly touch of color to the card rooms.
Mrs. O. L. Crigler carried off high
score prize and Mrs. Joe Leguenec
Awon in cut. A delicious fresh- straw-
berry ice course was served the fol-
lowing: Mnies. U. B. Hughes, S. C.
Broadstreet, I. N. Williams, Max
Fore, G. L. Keith, Alma Coker, Earl
Lido, C. O. Lide, Hiram Bi-own, Joe
Leguenec, O. L. Crigler and Mrs. Ben
Schiff of New York.
There has been d large increase in
the number of bank robberies the na-
tion over during recent years. The
statistics show that it is in only a
minority* of the cases that the ban-
dits permanently escape the meshes
of the law. Bu the ignorance of the
average bank bandit is attested by
the wanton risks he runs. In Texas
there is a $5,000 price on the head of
a dead bank robber. Even when the
Golden j bandit survives the robbery itself, it
usually is only a question of weeks
until s one stone he has left unturn-
ed results in his apprehension. The
Matthew Rimes gang, the notorious
Lamar, Colorado, bandits—all have
witnessed the defeat of their best laid
plans before every long.
And in a good many instances, it
is the very first attempt that is tlis-
astrous, just as was the case with
the former Waco contractor who care-
fully planned the robbery of a bank
at Calvert, today he is dead, while
a former peace officer will collect
$').0(.'0 as the reward that was placed
upon his head the moment he entered
the Calvert bank with intent to rob.
His plan was known to officers long
before’ he sought to put it. into exe-
cution—all because he had sought to
make arrangements with a friend to
let him steal a car. B was the same
with the bank robbers at Clarksville,
Texas, a few years ago. They were
shot down by a Texas Ranger Cap-
tain as they left the bank. The Ran-
ger Captain had been waiting for the
attempt he knew had been planned.
The way of the transgressor is al-
ways hard, hut, on no transgressor is
it harder than on the bank robber,
who has ninety-nine chances against
him to one in his favor when he be-
gins planning the robbery. And the
average amount of money taken in
one of the robberies would not last
the members of the gang a year even
if they were successful. What a risk
to run!—Greenville Herald.
More than half the gold mined in
South Africa is produced in the
Transvaal.
BiliOOSliESS
“Feel So Much Better After
a Few Boses of Tiled-
ford’s Black-Draught.”
“When I get bilious, I lose my
appetite, feel dull ar.d tired, and
do not feel like doing my work,”
writes Mrs. S. M. Fulton, of Fort
Payne, Aia.
“I take a few doses of Black-
Draught until I feel my system is
cleansed, then I leave it off. It is
about the only medicine I take,
and I am sixty-nine years old.
“I have been using Black-
Draught for about twenty-five
years, and think it is wonderful.”
Mrs. D. W. DeShane, of 4216
South Twenty-fifth Street, Red-
fork, Tulsa, Okla., also has used
Black-Draught, and she writes:
"I felt the need of a good medi-
cine for biliousness. I saw Black-
Draught advertised and decided to
use it. I have never been sorry,
for I certainly have found it a
great help in my family.
“I would have dizzy spells and
feel like I was going to faint. I
would have a bad breath and bad
taste in my mouth. I found Black-
Draught would clear this up and
make me feel so much better. Af-
ter a few doses, I would be rid of
dizziness and feel full of pep.” h« »i

Hard times frighten your
competitors. And their sales-
people are licked before they
start because the “boss” is blue.
But it’s an ill wind that blows
nobody good. If a business de-
pression makes your competi-
tors lie down, then business de-
pression is an opportunity for
you.
The right sort of business
man tries to turn obstacles into
opportunities—and hard times
are no exception.
You have the store. You
have your salespeople. Add to
these the vitalizing power of
newspaper advertising and you
have a time-tested formula for
turning hard times into good
times.
