"I got the best of results, thank you," is quoted from a letter signed by Charles Mc Haney, of Canby, who ran a lit tla ad in The Oregonian under the .heading, "Help Wanted Female." It probably is nobody's busi ness outside of the McHaney family, but the manager of the want ad department is just a little curious as to which one of his women readers grabbed this opportunity to embrace the sim ple life. He has them in all shapes and sizes, but unanimous as to complexions. This Sum mer in Oregon has put a bronze on very cheek. That letter also shows this man McHaney to be an appre ciative chap, and life around the mouth of the "Molallie" is a pleasant chapter. So congrat ulations to Mabel, or Maude, or Mary, or whoever it was who went where Hooverizing is a real war issue.

PR0BADLE CAUSE SHOWN Pefense Argues Woman May Have Fired Revolver With Thumb, Since Wound Was Inflicted in Back of Read. SALISBURY, N. C, Sept. SS. As sistant District Attorney John Dooling, of New York, announced here tonight that additional arrests "probably will be made" in connection with the case arising -from the death of Mrs. Maude King. COKOORD, N. C, Sept. 25. Gaston Means was bound over to the grand jury here late today by Magistrate Pitts on the charge of the murder of the wealthy widow, Mrs. Maude A. King, after Means consented to waive further examination and the showing of probable cause. Means was Mrs. King's business manager. The theory of the experts that Mrs. King could not have brought the pistol muzzle to bear on the spot where she was shot in the back of the head rests upon the supposition that when the weapon was discharged she held it in her right hand and fired it in the usual manner, said Frank Osborne, attorney for the defense. He contended that she could have held the weapon and fired It with her thumb:' Mr. Osborne argued that Mrs. King did not deliber ately shoot herself. "No one seekins to commit suicide," he said, "would shoot themselves in the back of the head, but would fire at the front of the head." On the same grounds, he contended that if Means had determined to kill the woman, lie would have shot her in such a manner as would enable him to claim she shot and killed herself pur posely.
