Rosie Cohen AMI Ida walcross, ne

A big black automobile with a party
Of young men was stalled in front of
the enement last night by a burst tire
shoe. The chauffeur lacked the wheel
up and made his repairs while a hun
dred young people looked on. In the
course of the work Rosie and Ida made
the acquaintance OF the chauffeur and
the young men. They were invited to
AXE a ride. They said they couldn't
because they we're IN front OF their
homes.
Fifteen minutes later Policeman Mel

In the early morning Minnie Cohen

beth street station asking that a gem
eral alarm be sent out. as the families
believed the girls had met foul play.
h whole neighborhood was In a buzz
Ing turmoil all night. Policemen were
sent TO see the owner of the car bearing
the number Melzeh thought he had seen.
The girls walked into the station at
o 10 'cloc to-day. They held their
pretty heads up and said 1t was nobody's
business where they had been. Ques-
toned separately Rosie Cohen told a cir

experiments are being made by boys and men as to
the new ways of cultivation each of these is

work. and each of these has large number of demon

or so and instruct them Just how go about raising

Not only the government, but the states, counties
and towns, are interested in this movement and are

Arkansas raised 119 bushels at a cost of cents per

Georgia, who small that his father came with

the presence Of at least two dsinteresed witnesses

They tell stories of hundreds of farmers who
