Money, materials, machinery, markets and men are the great ele- ments in the business world, ac- cording to the president of a lead ing manufacturing concern in Hi nois. In a recent address he i'm pressed 1t upon his hearers that the fifth element offers by far the greatest problem. Men in the mass are easy and cheap to get, but the supply of high-priced men-men of training, capacity, character, integ- rity, industry and ambition-is al- ways far short of the demand.

cial)-with the only possible clue for
tracing their identity furnished by the
address on a newspaper Sheriff NJ r.

believes may be wanted for robbing a
store somewhere. Monday morning Mar
shall Al Roth of Silver Creek telephoned
the sheriff that he had received word
that two suspicious characters were Turk
ing in the country about five miles west
OF Silver Creek. He went down to Silver
Creek, and after tracking the men To-
Gated them ten miles north OF that place.
He at first supposed that they were two
men wanted for breaking Jail In another
county, but they did not answer to their
description. However, when he overlook
them they were carrying a heavy bundle,
which upon examination proved to con-
sist Of bolts and pieces OF new cloth, such
as silks, serges, etc, and also a woman s
bear skin coat. The men we're unable to
give satisfactory account Of themselves
and so the sheriff brought them into
Central City and lodged them in Jail.
The only clue as to their identity is fur
nished by the address on an Omaha
paper In which the goods were wrapped.
On this paper was written the name "Dr.

ascertain the whereabouts Of Dr. Nc
Laron so that he may locate the town
where the goods were stolen. In the
meantime the men are being detained in
