very fine display of parsnips, carrots,
pumpkins, squashes, beets, corn, potatoes
and peppers; Heman B. Ware, beans,

The carcass of large buck deer was
found lying in the water at the edge Of
Lamson's pond in North Hinsdale Sunday
afternoon by G. 8, Smith as he was re-
turning from his pasture. The deer had
been dead but short time. as the body
was still warm. Mr.. Smith tried to pull
the animal out OF the water. but was I'M
able to entirely do so, as 1t Was a large
one, weighing about 200 pounds. He no.
titled the selectmen and James O'Brien
and F. W. Tilden, two members of the
board, secured the carcass. The butcher
who dressed the deer said the animal had
been shot. The selectmen disposed of
the carcass. There is no clue to the
poachers.

BRETHREN IN UNITY

Behold, how pleasant it is for breth-

seldom they do it.!
But a remarkable example of the
pleasantness prevailing, when they do,

DISLODGE EQUESTRIENNES
Diving Horses Leap, but Part With
Riders When They Strike
the Water

DR.. w. r. Carver, champion rifle shot
of the world, gave his first exhibition
in the Chutes baseball enclosure yes
terday afternoon before several hum
bred persons. Aside from the automo-
bile jump the entire performance was
put through.
Miss Lorena Lawrence and Miss De
Vaughn of the flying machine fame
both attempted to remain mounted on
the bare backs of the diving horses,
clinging until they had emerged from
the water.
Miss Lawrence was the first one to
attempt the difficult feat but lost her
hold soon after the clown horse struck
the water.
Miss De Vaughn then mounted Silver
King but was even more unsuccessful
than her competitor, as she was
knocked from off the animals back by
the force of the jar when the horse
struck the water. AS this was Miss
De Vaughn's first dive and as Silver
King showed some stubbornness she
was given applause Notwithstanding.
Miss Lawrence was unable to get a
good hold on the CLOWN" as the ami
NAL Owed before the young woman be-
came fairly seated.
Owing to some delay in the work, the
diving apparatus for the automobile
had not been completed and therefore
that feature was left out, but Will be
ready for the Saturday matinee.
DR.. Carver has contract with Miss
Lawrence and she Is slated TO ride at
all his exhibitions.
Miss De Vaughn will make another
attempt Sunday and will also leap the
thirty-foot gap In an automobile.

THE FREE SEED GRAFT

The announcement of very liberal
free distribution to all Corners of garden
seeds, sent to Postmaster Flint by
Congressman McLachlan, calls atten-
ton once more to one of the many
gratis which cling about this govern
ment of ours, and make it one Of the
most needlessly expensive on earth.
1t is only one; there are so many
more!
Every year the government sets
aside vast sums which are expended in
seeds. A certain proportion of these
Der Of congress, who is thus entitled to
distribute them to his constituents.
theoretically the government is ell
gagged in testing new growths and in
propagating new plants and improved
varieties. The seeds of these are sup
posedly gathered, and. still theoretic-
ally, sent out that the farmers may
test them in various soils and under
various conditions. And, theoretically,
this mayor might-be useful and
profitable.
How is 1t actually? The graft is OPP
Grated on quite different lines. A huge
sum is set aside by each congress and
the various seed merchants-now the
seed trust-get the bulk of it for seeds
such as every farmer can buy at any
village store. These seeds are sent out
at government expense and are used
by the congressman as perquisites, for
vote making purposes. His rural con-
stituents who stand by him are fur
nished them free; those who oppose
him get none. And thus his friends are
taken care of''-at government cost.
Isn't 1t mean, puerile, contemplate
graft?
To the credit of our own congress-
man, be it said, he seems so to regard
it. Apportloned his share Of the seeds,
he orders them sent to the postoffice-
the general source of delivery to the
public-where they are placed on free
distribution to all who may desire
them. This is fair, just and right and
really pulls the sting from the graft
for it makes one as fortunate in its
benefits as another.
But the whole practice of seed dis
tribution is unnecessary and wrong
The great American farming public
consists not of mendicants, who must
ask their government for free seeds
They can buy their own. And it would
be just as right and reasonable in
ethics for the army of bookkeepers tC
expect free pens or the ditch diggers
to get free picks and shovels
Possibly, theoretically, the seed graf
was permissible under it's original in,
tent AS now conducted it is a shame
full bribery of voters and disgrace.

are - regarded as heretics, as con-
demned, as lost--to associate with
whom laid one liable to contamination
and eternal death. And half the
sermons bristled with denunciatlons Of
fellow Christians. whose ideas were in
the main aligned with the denunciators,
but varied in non-essential particulars.
How different the feeling and at
mosphere prevailing at this welcoming
service yesterday. Gentlemen OF the
cloth of many varieties and shades Of
belief gladly united to extend the hand
of help and fellowship to a stranger
coming among them, recognizing In
him, despite differences Of opinion, q
fellow with themselves in preserving a
united front in their endless warfare
on the foes Of Goodness. And so they
have placed him shoulder to shoulder
with themselves, and instead of one
more interneclne enemy, there has been
added another unit to the battle front.
This is the true Christian spirit, to
welcome all laborers into the vineyard
for the harvest is heavy and the Ia
borers are few enough, at best. What
a pity that 1t took nineteen centuries
to teach Christianity that It's rightful
enemy Is the devil and not the varying
elements Of its own composition, each
one of whom is needed to make the
perfect whole

SEARCHING FOR
HENRY BARBOUR
DISAGREES WITH THE DOCK
TERMINAL BOARD
arae-tieartednes Of Promoter, His
Friends Say, Led to His Trou-
bIes With Business
Associates

The mystery surrounding the sudden
Disappearance of Henry p. Barbour
has not been solved by the many
friends and former business associates
of the capitalist, who spent the entire
Sunday in searching for him.
Barbour's former business associates
are almost unanimous in the opinion
that his forced resignation from the
directorate Of the Los Angeles Dock
and Terminal company Is responsible
for his present absence from the city.
His friends also say 1t Is undoubtedly
due to his natural big-heartedness.
Murray Mitchell, manager Of the Los
Angeles Dock and Terminal company,
left his residence early yesterday and
did not return home during the en-
tire day. In company with several
other close business associates it is
believed that Mr.. Mitchell spent the
day in searching the possible hiding
places of the missing capitalist.
Mrs. Mitchell, wife of Murray Mitch
ell. was seen at her home last night.
She could give no information con-
corning her husbands mission which
would keep him from his residence all
day. She also stated that she did not
know whether he would return home
last night.
Mrs. Barbour did not return to her
Los Angeles abode, the Portsmouth
hotel, Sunday, and number OF friends
who called during the day were dis
appointed. The hote; attaches were
unable to tell of her whereabouts,
though she presumably remained at
Long Beach, where she went Saturday
evening searching for her spouse.

BALDWlN'S AIRSHIP ASCENDS
FROM CHUTEs PARK
Flies Directly Over Los Angeles,
Carrying Two Men Whose An

Air Currents

A balloon ascension, as announced, in
the interests of science, was made yes
terday by Capt. Baldwin from Chutes
park, carrying two men.
The captive balloon, which has been
taking passengers eight hundred feet
high, was used in the trip.
The bag is the smallest Of the series
of balloons which has been constructed
by Capt Baldwin. The capacity is
10000 cubic feet of gas, while the Others
which have been exhibited have held
from 10000 to 100000 feet.
The course of the balloon was SOUTH
