OM Peddler Lived In
Stable Saving $12,000
Cincinnati, Jan. 6.?"Uncle Jake"
Nurnstcin, the peddler, lived in a
stable in Mount Sterling, Ky., for
Vrnoat of sixty years, his niece revealed
today, saving his money so thero
would be enough for her care after he
was gone. j>
lie died, and waft 'buried at Mount
Sterling yesterday. But the Ida
Kwing he worked and saved for now
is Mrs. Albert Es Heekln, wife of a
Cincinnati manufacturer and isn't in
need of the $12,0Q9 in cash ancFtoonds
he bequeathed.
His sole heirf. Mrs. Heekin, said
"Uncle Jake" sent for her during
his last illness Tuesday and person/
ally handed her his little hoard.
"The money," she said, "was not
only in government bonds, but in gold
certificates and gold coins, one on
the Bank of Maryland, dated January
1, 1840."
Christened "Jasjer Burnstein," ho
became "Uncle Jake" to everybody in
Mount Sterling since he and a sister
emigrated from Bavaria sixty years
ago. The sister, Mra, Heekin's mother,
made her home in Louisville, Ky.
"Uncle Jake" lived for years in an
old stable where he had a repair shop
in Mount Sterling. He tried, his
niece related, to live on twenty-five
cents a day.
And the money he saved, she said,
he kept hidden around his home,
ft There were bonds tucked under mattresses,
gold coins in tin cans, seemingly
carelessly put aside.

Underhill Dies;
Inman Captured
Seminole, Okla., Jan. 7.?Shortly
after Wilbur Underhill, "tri-state
terror," died of 18 bullet wounds in
the McAlester penitentiary hospital,
one of his confederates, Elmer Inman,-was
wounded and captured near
Bowlegs early today, further reducing
the roll of the south west's fugitive
bad men.
Inman, one-time confederate of Hay
Terrill, member'of the now decimated
Terrill gang of killers and robbers,
escaped temporarily from a posse of
Seminole officers after a midnight
raid on a rooming house here, but
^ra^wounded during the chase that
followed. Doctors said he would lose
the sight of one eye.
He was arrested with Grace Cunningham,
a Seminole underworld
character, who fled with him by motor
car. Lona Nichols, sister of Eva Mae
Ifichols, who was fatally wounded
when Underhill was captured at
Shjuynee eight days ago, was taken in
custody in the rooming house.
The trail of crime of Underhill,
narcotic .addict and killer, was ended
by death late last night.
Suffering from 13 bullet wounds he
received in the gun fight with officers
who surprised him . in his Shawnee
hideout, he died 12 hours after he
had been taken in a machine gunguarded
ambulance from a Shawnee
hospital to the better fortified prison
hospital.
The desperado's body will be sent
to Joplin, Mo., for burial. His aged
mother, Mrs. Almira Underhill, and
his unmarried sister, of Kansas City,
hdrried to McAlester this morning.
"I wish they had not brought Wilbur
to' McAlester when they did,"
sobbed the mother. "If they had not
moved him when they did, he might
have lived. I just begged them to
let Wilbur stay in the Shawnee hospital
a few days longer."
The United States bureau of identification
said at Washington it had
ordered Underhill transferred because
of rumors-of a plot to deliver hiim
Fumigating Stored Grains
Throughout the central and southern
parts of the state the grain weevil
and the grain moth infest corn in the
field before it is harvested, the infestation
toeing worse in loose-fitting
shucks. These pests are hauled to
the crib from the field. At every
load thousands of these weevils sift
through the corn and <iie on the floor
of the wagon toed. Whdh the wagon
bed is swc<pt, the sweepings should be
burned and not thrown on the ground.
Weevils may be controlled by fumigating
with carbon bisulphide. ^This
liquid, as well as the gas, is easily
set on fire and then explodes violently.
For that reason it should be handled
even more cautiously than gasoline;
hence, fire of all kinds, including
lighted pipes, cigars, candles, embers,
lamps, etc.", should be kept away.
Lofts should not be fumigated when
livestock is kept under them.. When
the material is not in use.it can be
stored in a cool place.
Carbon bisulphide may be obtained
from local dealers and from wholesale
drug houses at from 20 to 30 ce&ta
per pound in-small lots, and 7 to^lO
cents per pound in 100-pound drums,
f. o. to. The cdntainera are furnished
at an extra cost but are returnable.
Directions for Fumigating.?Clean
old bins thoroughly. Make the bins
or cribs tight. Select a tame when
the temperature of the air is not below
70 degrees Fahrenheit. Use carbon
bisulphide at the rate of 7 pounds
to 100 bushels of grain as follows:
Level the com at the surface, and at
points three feet apart each way pull
out the ears to make holes. - Into
these pour the carbon bisulphide in
equal amounts. Throw the ears back
and spread blankets over the grain.
Close the crib tight. Fumigation
should be continued for 24 to 48 hours
before the crib is opened. .No ventilation
is necessary except that if
the crib is a brick one it should be
ventilated at the end of 36 to 48
hours.
Small amounts of seed may be fumigated
in a coal oil or molasses barrel,
using about three ounces of carbon
bisulphide per barrel. After applying
cover the barrel with sacks
weighted down with boards.
Seeks Death Penalty
In Kadnap Measure
Washington, Jan. 4.?A bill to pro- j
vide the death penalty for kidnapers
was introduced today by Senator
Patterson (Republican) of Missouri,
author of the measure known as the
"Lindbergh law."
At present life imprisonment is,
the maximum penalty for kidnapers
convictedr in Federal courts of removing
a victim from one stata to
another. , t
In drafting his bill, Patterson
said he had particularly in mind
kidnaping* in Kansas City where
victims were hidden away in Kansas
or removed from St- Louis to Illinois.

Dr. Carver Discovers
New Oil In Peanuts
Tuskegee, Ala., Dec. 80.?.Discovery
of jk mineral oil in peanuts that had,
aided in' the recovery of infantile
paralysis victims and in tho rejuvenation
of tissues was announced today
t>y Dr. George W. Carver, noted negro
scientist and head of th^ research
department of Tuskegee institute,
"It has been given out that I have
found a cure,'' said Dr. Carver. "I
have not, but it looks hopeful.
Doctor Carver said the tissue building
properties in the oil were accidentally
discovered, after-he had used
it as the base for a beauty lotion.
"I gave it to some ladies to use,"
he said in discussing his discovery,
"and those inclined to be1 fat brought
it back, saying they could not use it
because it made them gain weight.
"When they brought this back, I
saw it had great value, and I And
that it is the greatest fat producer I
have ever seen."
Dr. Carver said after drawing off
the emulsion, he had made tests and
then used Lt in the treatment of two
young boys, one 13 and the other 14,
who had suffered from infantile paralysis.
Improvement was noted early in
the tests, Doctor Carver said. Pink
returned to the skin and the muscles
increased in size by actual measurements.
After nine applications of. the oil,
which was massaged into the affected
limbs, one of the subjects who had
been walking with crutches was able
to walk with the yse of only a cane.
Tho other boy, less severely afflictedi
had increased use of his leg and
joined other boys in playing football.
"I have used it on 250 persons, and
it has never failed, so far as I can
find out," said Doctor Carver. "I am
using it as a fact finder, and I am
working out its complete pharmaceutical
value.
"For certain things, I Know it has
a .definite value, but for others it remains
to be proven.
"The oil is translucent and limped
and is readily absorbed by the skin.
It is extracted from the peanut by tho
cold process."
Doctor Carver demonstrated it,
rubbing a few drops Into the* arm of
a subject, and in a few moments the
immediate area of the application
glowed rose-colored and small veins
throughout the arm became visible
with the larger ones standing out
vividly.

I1KRK IS "PUTRID"
The American legion Champion
Membership Getter;
. * , J;
For a month last year The Legion
X)f South Carolina each week "awarded"
"Putrid" to one of the Leglbn
Districts because of" that District's
low percentage of membership quota
attained for that week. There was
much enthusiasm over not "winning"
"Putrid."- The goat was usually sent
to the Post within the District which
had the lowest percentage of membership
quota.
To be rid of "Putrid" in a. hurry
The Legionnaires of Cheraw would
hitch "Putrid" fit front of a delinquent
member's place of business until
he paid , his duos. Legionnaires
over the entire state caught the spirit
and it was a greatfight to keep "Putrid"
away. The goat is credited
with fifteen hundred members last
year, due to the enthusiasm he created.
This campaign of "awarding"
the goat started on January 1st, and
will continue until the Spring Rally
about March 16th.
One Post in the state last year
won "Putrid" twice. The Richltfnd
County Post at Columbia entertained
the famous membership getter the
first week he was out getting members.
Commencing the week of January
1st "Putrid" will bo awarded on
the same basis as last year.
District Commanders and Post
Commanders are warned that "Putrid"
is one year older, larger and
"stronger."
Meat?Shall We Can It?
There is no job on the farm that
pays better than the canning of meat,
and nothing in the farm store room
that affords, more good "eats" than
your canned meats. It is a grand
and glorious feeling to know that you
have steak, roast,, sausage, spare-ribs
and backbone to openj on a moment's
notice.
There is no better way to preserve
the inherent goodness of fresh meats
than by canning it, for the canned
meats have the same fine appearance
and taste as the fresh food.
The economy of mea| canning can
be proved in dollars and cents. Allowing
for the worth of the animal
at market, the cost of materials and
a reasonable amount for one's own
labor there is a tremendous difference
in the value of meat canned over what
it costs over the counter. Practically
every farm family has some surplus
animal or animals which should be
feeding them instead of their feeding
it over the Winter. If he has not, he
can make a deal with a neighbor,
offering labor in return for canned
products.
It is estimated that 640 pounds of
meat will provide five servings of
meat per week for a family of five
persons throughout the year. Such
rft quantity of meat might be secured
from one beef animal weighing 600.
pounds live weight, three hogs averaging
180 pounds and one lamb
weighing 60 pounds. The hams,
shoulders and sides of the hog should
preferably be cured, but there is
much of the sausage, spare-ribs, loins
and other fresh cuts that should be
saved for later use. 142 pounds of
dressed pig will produce eight No. 3'
cans of roast, twelve No. 2 cans of
sausage, six No. 2 cans of liver paste,
six No. 2 cans of scrapple, three
pounds of head cheese, eight pounds
of pickled pigs feet, 34 1-2 pounds
of lard, 14 pounds of cured bacon and
28 pounds of cured hams.
Miss Sadie B. Craig, the home agent,
and Miss Mary Hayes, the assistant
emergency worker, will assist
with meat canning throughout the
county. They ere making up their
schedule for January now so see them
at once if you have meat to can.
This is a part of the emergency campaign
and the "live-at-home" movement.
This canning program is also
a means of providing the farm family
with the equivalent of fresh meat the
year 'round. ? "
