Boy Scouts
in Uniform

Two boy scouts made their
appearance on Riverside ave-
nue. yesterday and attracted a
good deal of attention. They
were dressed in brown khaki
jackets and pants and wore
black leggins and broad-brim-
med hats. The particular cOu-
pie in question might have been
under 10 years of age and one
carried a basket of-well, most
anything. Spectators did not
know what was in that basket.
1t might have been revolvers
or cap pistols, or loaf of bread
for dinner for all they knew
about boy-scout methods and
equipment. This is only the
first sight q them.

Express Robbery.

Abba, April 25.-SpeclaI: Three
weeks ago the Adams Express Office
at this place was robbed of $4,000 and
all the efforts put forth by the com
pany and the Pinkerton agency fail
ed to get any clew to the robbers. A
Well-known young man about the
town was suspected, but continued
shadowing failed to develop anything
except that they were on the wrong
trail. A week or so after the robbery
the auditor was put to work on the
books of the office and he discovered
that Agent Gilbert Nelson was short

derstOod his relatives have raised the
amount to square his shortage, but
it will probably not be accepted by
the company until some clew to the
robbery is obtained

A HALF OR WHOLE CROP
Though You Pay $40 Per Bushel for
Seed It's Worth the Money.

Bowman says" remarks the Mar
Shalltown Times Republican, that
poor seed corn--if Iowa farmers plant
twill cut the corn crop in half
What does that mean? Let the far
mer do his own figuring. Take the
40 acres which went 80 bushels last
fall. IT is worth 60 cents to feed to
hogs or cattle. Cat it in two. Fifty
bushels at 60 cents amounts to $50,
40 times $50 looks like n certificate
OF deposit for 81 200. How does $500
look beside it? Five or six bushels
ought to plant forty At $40 a
bushel, even, 500 would buy the best
and surest' seed Sixty dollars from
5000 leaves $40. That will buy a
corking good team even nowadays,
the lumber for an addition to the
barn, ne% double corn crib, q dandy
hog house or so long way toward
