Means Prize Modern Crook For same years past any great American scandal has been incom- plete until Gaston B. Means appeared in it. Sometimes he figured as an agent of the Government, but more usually as a private scoundrel. Now that he has been arrested on•:charg- es growing out of the Lindbergh kid- napping an inevitable chapter in that tragic story has 'been opened. It is said that Means induced 'Mrs. Mc- Lean, a wealthy Washington woman, taaintrust him with $100,000 which he was to hand over to the kidnap• pers. Mrs. McLean was to have the glory of handing the child back to its parents. But apparently this was merely another of Mr. Means' ingen- ious schemes, and why Mrs. McLean should have been imposed upon is dif- ficult to understand for she must have been' aware of the man's reputation and probably met hint in Washington when Harding w a s President. It was .in this regime that Means reached his greatest heights. He was one of the cele- brated Ohio gang which acknAaw- ledged Harry Daughtery as leader, though he was not born in Ohio but in North Carolina where his family has been known for generations. His most recent public appearance was as the author of ,re book on the last days of President Harding' in which he suggested with true South- ern gallantry that Mrs. Harding had poisoned her husband. Since it was the dead and not the living whom he defamed, no criminal proceedings resulted. How much truth he told about the former president can only be surmised; undoubtedly he was in a position to tell a great deal of scandalous stuff. The trouble is that not only is Menne " a self-confessed liar, but be is a convicted perjurer so Ktvehat he says need not be sup• posed to 'have any particular relation Ito what happens to be true. In fact, if' he had not been a convincing liar there is little doubt that •he would have perished legally years ago. Ale he says himself • she has been accused of every crime in the ealen- dar; he might add with equal frank- ness that he has been guilty of every crime, though comparatively few have been proved against him-. H•3 had a narrow escape in 1917, the year when his name was nationally pronii:inent for the lirst time. There was a wealthy woman nam,. irr4g ?W 'oyc�.,l����►� ti�an ili�� �sra the 'lllkne'i!� #p> - ' fio' )dao fie:tinter. las al re ,: fin ,a sbo0::$J, Mean k ll' aG?t? + �X . i1 1-1.1 ofrayrs, Q� , aO a woniart' wa* #aurid Oat cans' company'.{ He plain dr t tab •lliey .Vlore practiO ing revolver ,1q.4ting and an deer dent1 disdharge ,Qf •the weapon bawit pilled the °warnalu. , ler friend's >n stated upo t an urvestigation, and after ties len k"trial in tine history of Norte ai+o1 ua 4leans was acquits ted. Later an aVIettne found a will of *s. King's fornfer husband which, bestowed a fortune on her sister who: was also a close friend of Meas. Later the docu t;; was proved . forgery. On the streof ngth of this ate-' qu1ttel Means applied to William J. assee ,i+°, u t, atata Burns, head of athe Bureau of I vestigation . for: - Ttbe United Stat Government, for .a position and w naturally appointed,, In this ~position be became imme iately active and' "soon was accuse of halving swindled 'numerous:. person to whond,he 'undertook to guarante deliveries of liquor in contraventio of the Volstead Act. .It was taken fo granted that he • was wholly in th confidence of President Harding an Daughtery. Nevertheless' • he wa arrested; convicted and sentenced t i two *ars' mprisozlaient, in additio to _a fine of $10,000. But before h could be incarcerated he was elan ironed as a witneses before a sena committee investigating variou phases of the colossal graft of th Harding administration. He thrille his listeners by telling how as middleman he' had handled millio. of dollars of graft, and in support his assertions or ad'missi'ons he pro doted two or three trunks filled with papers, among them being diaries his life from infancy to the presen moment. Then one day he appears before the committee and said thed his priceless documents had bee stolen. He asserted• that two men repre- senting tbemselves as sergeants -at arms of,,the senate had appeared i his apartment and presented.a lette signed by Senator •Brookhart author- izing them to tape charge of his records. He had handed them. over and the messengers' disappeared. Later he was indicted on a charge of ha'v4ng forged Senator Brookhart's name, but the • charge was not pressed. 'Still -later he swore that every word he had said in the witness - box was part of the gorgeous issue of lies which he, had been induced to produce by Senator Wheeler, of Mon- tana.Mon- tana.By this tinne there were two 'snore indictments hanging over hire for attempting to bribe the Attorney - General and .obstructing justice. They had grown out of a deal Mleans had made with a glass casket com- pany which was facing a federal prosecution which Means had agreed to have withdrawn. He had,:ac- cepted payment for his services but apparently had not been able to de- liver the goods, the moment being inauspicious. So they got him into prison. at last and while he was there he was Sued byte government for something more th n a quarter . of a niilIion dollars' in balk' 'taxes, his . in•• come for three years being estimated at a million dollars. 'But this suit was not pushed and whe n Means served his term he fou�id it neces- sary to plead that he was a pauper in order to avoid paying a fine of $20,000 which had been part of his punishment. It is recalled also that in 1912 Means attracted some atten- tion by a suit against the Pullman company fol: injuries he, had received in a train when the berth .`he was oc • cupying collapsed. It was shown that the 'chain had been filed through, but since it was not clear whether the .'Pullman company or. Means had done the filing. a settlement was made. ' State d as> d- d s e n to a ns o o t'. n n r' Books And Verses And The Street Car Service Occasionally through absentmind- edness or gross stupidity on some- body's part we get hold of a novel that is not a detective story. This is one of the minor exasperations of our life, 'but it did not prove so in the ease with Childwick Roundabouts• by Alec Brown. We had never heard of him before but he is a better writ- er than Michael Arlen.' and not far from Aldous Huxley, if we have any sapience as a critic. .I3e has, we be- lieve, written a better novel than any other Brown who ever lived, and if we exclude Sir Thomas, this will also hold good of the Brownes. This, we submit, is an extraordinary feat. We feel constrained to almost blush for our old maidenly suggestion that there are some coarsenes es in the book that might very well be Omitted. The whole tone of Chil1lwick Rounds - 'tants is bawdy. There is one chan- ter of a beer -drinking bout in an English pot house that rivals, in our mind, the famous Derby chapter in Herbert's' The Water Gypsies Knotted Silk, by Monte Barrett gave us early warning of its quality in this sentence: 'Cardigan propped his feet on an open desk drawer and waited. He was a tall, angular man," etc. In describing a seated man, one does not use the word tall. One says long.

Shakespeare if it turns out to'have been written even by a Charles Lamb. We protest when it turns out to have been written by Bruce Barton. The book under discussion is probably as good as most of the Van Dine stor- ies which it somewhat resembles. But Drury Lane, the, amateur detec- tive, is no such ridiculous poseur as Philo Vance. There is a satisfactory multiplicity of murd rs—a poisoning, a bashingrand a shooting -the mys- tery is profouna'rand the education extremely keenr and rational. It should not be missed. Robert J. Wasson asks our opin- ion on the following verse—Ireland: Historic land of sage and song, Grim tragedy has held thee long. Sectarian discord, doubts and fears Have traced thy footsteps down the years; What withering blight is on thee still, What baneful injuence works thee ill Derided, scorned, thy peace a jest, Thy name synonymous with unrest? It is all right, but has a syllable in the last line it could do very well without. • A correspondent at Camp Borden, noting that we have publicly la- mented the lack of a good song about Toronto, offers the following sonnet: The waters of the Humber and the • Don Gave birth to thee, the city of the good; From places where the redmsan's shel- ter stood Toronto .now has put her glory on. The splendor of the olden age is gone, But 'glories of the present age are seen, And full of truth and grace and all serene She keeps with virtue and with God entente. The hungry to her gates in thousands came, She gave them tracts and left them in the lurch— So pious she that for effect of name She kept for years as mayor one called Church. 0 holy city thou, how fair to view, Virginly guarder: by the O.T.U.! Mr. James R. MMackintosih of Stoney Creek wants us to write a column "all for me," on violins, apparently to settle some arguments about the genuineness of many instruments. which hear labels of Stradivarius, Amati, and other old masters. Our mind is completely (vacant on this subject just now, but if we come across anything useful we shall re- member the request . . . "What is wrong with Toronto's street ,rail- way management and operation," de- mands' Charles W. Mogridge, a vet- eran observer of municipal afferr'rs, "that it should be necessary feather to curtail the already inefficient ser - vice and raise the fares? It is most extraordinary that the old Toronto Railway Company operated the sys- tem on a 5c cash fare and sold tick- ets at 25 for $1 or six for a•quarter .and gave the additional privil- ege- of riding on the cars at rush hours by dropping a red ticket in the box, which tickets were bought eight for 25c,,. In addition; , the company con- triauted more than $1,000,000 to the civic treasury in percentages and mileage, plus ordinary taxes, busi- ness tax and local imiprovement rates on its property and plant on an ap- proximate assessment of $5,f,00,000. The Transportation Commission pays no taxes, no local improvement rates,` no percentage and no mileage. It charges a 10c cash fare and sells tickets at 4 for 25c or 50 for $'3, in retjurn for which it furnishes .a most exasperating service which utterly fait's to meet the public require- ments." Mr. Mogridge points out that last year it carried 20,000,000 fewer pas- sengers than in 1920, the last full year the old company, operated, de- spite the great growth of the city in the decade past. His idea is that there should be a straight 5c fare. Undoubtedly it is ridiculous to ex- pect more people to travel . when fares are increased. ' Cull Them Out. As soon as the spring spurt in egg production commences to lessen there are certain hens in every flock that should be culled out and marketed. The sooner they are gotten rid of the bigger will be the flock profits. La- bor is reduced, feed costs are lowered and the profitable birds are given mere room in the laying house and on the range. Poultry should also sell for more money in the early part of the ,summer than later, so there is a material gain in disposing of the non-productive birds. One of the simplest ways to cull the flock is to go over the birds when they roost at night, Pick out those with shriv- elled, rough combs and shrunken, hard abdomens. A bird with a large amount of hard fat around the abdo- men is not in laying condition. Soybeans in Ontario Reports from thirty farmers who conducted (soybean demonstrations in 'many parts of Ontario Last year show the average date of seeding to' be May 10th, average date ,cut for hay', August 20th, average height of plants thirty-tevo inches, average yield of hay 2.4 tons per acre. 'Soybeans will grow on almost any type of soil although the best re - mats cannot be expdcted on stiff clay or light sand. Soylbeans to produce hay should be sewn with an ordin- ary grain drill about May 15th 'for the average season. One ,and one- half to two bushels of seed per acre is required. The seed should be in- oculated. For Ontario conditions the 0.A:C. No. 211 variety has givens excellent results. Seed may be ob- tained from dealers and growers throughout the province. Soybeans should not be .sown on weedy lank' and it is usually advisable to go over the crop with a light- harrow after the plants are well through the ground- The crops should be 'cut with a mower and the plants allowed to lie in the swath until they are thoroughly wilted. Subsequent treat- ment is much the same as for other hay. Rutabagas in Demand. -According to reports, the Faipar[ers' Co-operative Association of , 'Black- water, has an order for 30,000 bush- els of "Big G" Brand rutabagas, to be delivered next •marketing season. These rutabagas are intended for dis- tribution in Toronto and Montreal. This information is gratifying to the Ontario Marketing Board, as it was at the suggestion of the Board that the original idea of branding rutabagas was adopted lIy the Black- water organization. While the marketing of rutabagas was in the experimental stage, over 7,000 bushels were sold, mostly in Toronto with trial shipments to Montreal and New York City. On every side s'atisfacti'on is reported, and one firm volunteered the informa- tion that its table turnip business had doubled this year, attributing this to the high ' quality of these branded rutabagas.
