4 ) i AA ¢ RULES MANSION AS - MILLIONAIRES Fourth Wife of Retired Broker Expected to Inherit Millions She Worked For Port. Chester, N. Y., Jan. 2—(7)— Amid a rambling, gabled old man- sion where for 17 years she served as a chambermaid and in which her brother still is the butler, a middle aged Czecho-Slovakian immigrant reigned today as mistress and *pos- sibly sole owner. She is the former Anny Mary Schleis who two years ago became the fourth wife of her employer, Frank W. Savin, retired millionaire broker, ‘then 76 years old. Savin died Tuesday after an appen- dicitis operation. His will has not yet been filed. Among the heirs are his son and daughter and two adopt- ed children, but presumably his widow will be one of the principal beneficiaries, ‘The sizes of the estate has been variously estimated all the way from $5,000,000 to $20,000,000. “Twenty million dollars would be far too much, I think,” the widow said today. “Five million would be nearer right.” When he retired, Savin sold his seat on the stock exchange for which he had paid $5,000, 30 years before, for $475,000. With the house of towers and gables, the widow today also had at her sole command several automo- biles and a staff of servants, of which her brother, Joseph Schieis, the but- ler, is the head. Savin's first wife was the former Arriba Wheat of New Haven, Conn. said to have been a great beauty. ‘They were married in 1871, and she obtained a legal separation in 1873. Their two children, Josephine and Frank W. Savin, jr. drifted off to Europe and were more or less forgot- ten. His second wife was Mrs. Sarah Hamilton West, she died in 1911. The third Mrs. Savin was like the fourth, a servant in the house. She was Mrs. Saram M. Treadwell, Savin's house- keeper, and both before and after her marriage she had survision over the household tasks of her successor. Before his third wife died, Savin adopted his brother-in-law, Charies Ely Monroe, who was then 45, and Muriel Elizabeth Withnal, a 4-year- old orphan whom he saw one day in an institution and took a farcy to. Both Monroe and the child left the household when he married fourth time. > N DAKOTA POTATO. | >+~ “GROWERS CARELESS College Expert Urges Them to Grade Spuds and Thus Get Better Prices “Are we going to let North Dakota potatoes follow the same old rut?” querries R. C. Hastings, chief state potato grade inspector at the North Dakota Agricultural college, in mak- ing @ plea tor farmers to ask for in- spections that will raise the price of banay Dakota spuds in eastern mar- kets. “Uniform grading would bring back the confidence of. the housewives and of seed users... Wholesalers, jobbers and commission merchants could af- ford to offer a good price. Brokers would not be so weak-hearted and 1o- cal buyers could’ offer 10 to 25 cents more and still smile. Growers and shippers of good potatoes also could smile. Let's make 1930 the year of price reformation by the shipping of dependable stock.’ Mr. Hastings pointed out that ex- isting market conditions which per- y+ mit good North Dakota potatoes to sell for $36 to $90 per car less than competitors can be remedied by uni- form grading. Fundamental steps for a grower to procure tion and certification are as follows: Pill * application blanks for field bin inspection and seed certification; the grower must on re- quest furnish or send to the pure seed laboratory a fair sample of the tubers, about one peck, which must have been produced on an. accepted field and when the tubers have been recommended the! tors will greatly increase profits from Seam Gamer, PENNA RAINFALL, Stee Cota aw Chadds Ford, Pa., Jan. 2—(7)—A burglar who tried to enter the home of John D.

R. Danielson, county agent. Last February, at a farmers economic conference held in Steele county, the men who made up the dairy committee considered @ butterfat production of 250 pounds the lowest at which a fair profit could be made. On the 104 cows, 58 per cent produced less than 250 pounds. But, at that, 250 pounds ts 100 pounds more than the average butterfat production for the state. 'The production of the cows in the 10 herds on which records were kept range from 127 pounds to 476, a dif- ference of 349 pounds. Considering that three 400-pound cows will pro- duced as much butterfat as seven 127-pound producers and eat much less feed, and that the labor is much less with three cows than with seven, it is not a good policy to keep low producing animals, many dairymen have found. During the past year, the owners of the 10 Steele county herds go rid of 18 such unprofitable cows. “Butterfat production depends upon the inherited producing qualities of the cow, the kind and amount of feed, and the care and management given the cow,” declares Mr. Danielson. “Of these three factors that of feed is perhaps as important as any, for most of the high producers were found in the herds that were well fed. It is possible, however, that good feeders have paid more atten- tion to breeding also, but we do know that strict attention to all three fac- milk cows.” ot | i | North Dakotan Is Governor of Guam Add to the list of North Dakotans LOWEST ON LIST OF Counties Exceeded Normal, September to September Only two of the North Dakota counties for which data is available received more than normal rainfall during the year ending last Septem- ber 1, according to a study made by the federal weather bureau here. period covered, it was explained, is that during which rainfall is con- sidered beneficial to the calendar year in question, rain falling after September 1 of any year being con- sidered as mainly beneficial to the next year's crops. Golden Valley county had 20.37 inches of rainfall or 3.58 inches above normal. Richland county, with a deficinecy of 13.83 inches, fell fartherest below normal, but even then it received more rain than Pembina county, which was the driest in the state, re- cording 7.07 inches of rain as com- pared with 868 for Richland county. Because the average in Pembina is lower, however, the deficiency was only 11.07 inches.
