The achool bully, a ery naughty boy. had drawn a rude pic ture on bee alate at recesa and twitted her with it when the 'teacher' discovered It. That bully came to grief and punishment after achool at the handa of a eolemn faoed lad with wavy hair they called "Becky." Thle boy didn't like to eee little gtrl cry particularly thla one. That waa many yeara ago. Today tliat aame little girl ia standing up before the world aa the protector of "liecky," who, in the meantime haa come to be known aa John R.

I know that he will be acquitted. "He haa been so good to me, I don't see how anyone can think that he baa been bad. lie Just couldn't." Then the little girl from the country school house down In Missouri looked up at her stalwart husband and smiled bravely. Typical of Mrs. Dobbins womanly cour age In her fight for her husband was an Incident which ocourred In the office of Emmet Tlnley of the firm of Harl & Tin ley, defending the accused man. "Well, tomorrow I am going down to the old home at Princeton, Mo., to get bond for Mr. Dobbins," she said as she walked Into the lawyer's offloe one day last sum mer. "I supposed that you had gone last week," replied the lawyer. "I saved time by waiting," she answered smlilnj. "How's that?" "If I had startrd last week I would have only been half way now I'd have had to walk but I've earned enough money to pay my way now," she said. From the day of his arrest John Dob bins' wife has been fighting for him. It was she who got him lawyers, ahe who got him out of Jail on bond and she who continues the s'rugfcle for his freedom. The fight has been a long, bitter one for the little girl who cried that day In school and It has left lines of care In her face, but she yet has a "smile for "Becky" Dobbins.

These disclosed bleaching matter, but to what extent Mr. Wharton refused to state. The flour was shipped to St. Louis from a milling company at Nebraska City, Neb., and was consigned to a St. Louis commis sion company. The government does not claim that the St. Louis company had any knowledge of the whitening process that It la claimed was used In the mill. Official States Federal Policy. Mr. Wharton said last night that he could not discuss the local seizure and de clared that all he could say was that the government was determined to stop the use of, Injurious chemicals In the bleaching of flour, and that arrests would be made and the product confiscated aa fast as vio lations were discovered. H. S. Craft, secretary of Bernet, Craft & Co., said last night that the flour that was seized was sent to St. Louis from a Nebraska milling company to a commission house here, and that his company bought It from the commission company for ship ment to South America. "We knew nothing about the flour before we bought It." said Mr. Craft last night, "and If any law has been violated It was without our cognizance and we are wholly Innocent. At the time we bought the flour we did not even know the name of the manufacturer. All that we can say now Is that we will cheerfully give our aid to the government at any time It may be needed. We are as much Interested In the pure food laws as any one and we would be the last to aid any effort to evade them." MENNQNITE CONFERENCE AT HENDERSON, NEB.
