Love Confessions of a French “Blue- beard.” The whole civilized world read with considerable interest the brief reports of the recent trial in Paris of Henri Landru, the modern Bluebeard. Although Landru was indicted, tried and promptly convicted of the murder of only about a dozen of his wives, the French police, who spent collecting the evidence, feel certain that Landru wooed, won, robbed and murdered most, if not all, of the two hundred and eighty-three women whose names they found in his private papers, and who vanished from the face of the earth after 'Landru made their quaintance. The figure of old Bluebeard and his castle has typified for centuries the wholesale wife murder, but the modern Bluebeard Landru has eclipsed all rec~ ords, the police belleve, as a destroyer of women. Ladru lis closely guarded in jail un- der sentence of death, and is hoping for an appeal and a new trial to save his neck from the guillotine But what every woman-and every man too—wants to know is just how Landru won those 238 wives, this whether he is ultimately convicted of murdering them or not. There Is no doubt, though, that he did make scores of marriages and that many women loved him. After considerable hesita- tion the great French multiple husband has consented to reveal his methods of love making, and in next Sunday's New York American he tells how he won these hosts of women's hearts and reveals, besides, some of the hith- erto unknown secrets of his extraor- dinary career. cabled five years AC Y ah Centre Reporter, $1.50 a year. | hi po \ “RETR The whele rural werld is In & for ment of unrest, and there is an uR- paralleled volume and intensity of de termined, if not angry, protest, and an ominous swarming of occupational come ferences, interest groupings, political movements and propaganda. Such a turmoil cannot but arrest our atten tion. study and examination. and banded themselves Into active unions, secleties, farm bureaus, and seo forth, for no sufficient cause. Investigation of the subject concle stvely proves that, while there is much overstatement of grievances and mis conception of remedies, the farmers are right in complaining of wrongs tong endured, and right In holding that it is feasible to relieve thelr {lls with benefit to the rest of the community. This being the case of an industry that contributes, in the raw material form alone, about one-third of the na- tional annual wealth production and is the means of livelihood of about 40 per cent of the population, it Is ob- vious that the subject Is one of grave concern. Not only do the farmers make up one-half of the natian, bul the well-being of the other half de- pends upon them. S80 long as we have nations, & wise politcial economy will alm at a large degree of national self-sufficiency and self-containment. Rome fell when the food supply was too far removed from the belly. Like her, we shall destroy our own agriculture and extend our sources of food distantly and precari- ousiy, If we do not see to it that our farmers are well and fairly pald for their services. The farm gives the nation men as well as food. Cites derive their vitality and are forever renewed from the country, but an im- of thelr inability to meet mortgages or to pay current bills, and how, seeking relief from their ills, they are plan- ning to form pools, inaugurate farm- ers’ strikes, and demand legislation abolishing grain exchanges, private cattle markets, and the like, we ought not hastily to brand them as economle heretics and highwaymen, and hurl at the of being of special privilege.

Only the lower grades of mentality and character will remain on, or seek, the farm, unless agriculture is capable of being pursued with contentment and adequate compensation. Hence, to em- bitter and impoverish the farmer is to dry up and contaminate sources of the nation the nation of dependent productivity the farms, by increasing the acreage of certaln that of others.

It will not do to take a narrow view of the rural discontent, or to appraise it from the int of vesterday. Thix Is peculiarly an age of flux and change and new deals Decause a thing always has been no longer means that It is righteous, or always shall be so. More, perhaps, than ever hefore, there ls aw idespread feeling that all human relations can he Im- proved by taking thought, and that It ta not becoming for the reasoning ani mal to leave hisx destiny largely to chance and natural incidence, Prudent and orderly adjustment of production and distribution in accord. ance with consumption is recognized as wise management in every business but that of farming. Yet, I venture to say, there is no other industry In which It Is so important to the pub. le-—~to the ecity-dweller—that produe- tion should be sure, steady, and in- creasing, and that distribution should be In proportion to the need. The un- organized farmers naturally act blind- ly and , impulsively and, In conse quence, surfeit and dearth, accompa: nied by disconcerting price-variations, harass the consumer. One year pota- toes rot in the fields because of excess production, and there Is a scarcity of the things that have been displaced to make way for the expansion of the potato ficrenge; next year the punish. od farmers mass thelr fields on some other crop, and potatoes enter the class of luxuries; and so on, Agriculture is the greatest and fun- damentally the most important of our American industries. The cities are but the branches of the tree of na- tional fife, the roots of which go deep ly Into the land. We all flourish or decline with the farmer.
