Time was when the farmer who used

the fellow who saves himself by riding
on the two wheeled gear attached to

in April is nicely shown in an incident
related TO the writer by friend the

ter part Of January. UP to that time it
had been dry. being stored in vacant
house Early in February a warm wet
spell ensued. followed by severe cold
In this interval the seed ears gathered
dampness. In April. without further
testing. this seed was sold as guaran-
teed to grow on the basis of the .Janu-
airy test But it didn't grow. and the
farmer who sold it in good faith had
peck Of trouble on his hands The
incident makes plain why corn should
be tested just before 1t is planted TO
make assurance d0ubly sure.

Lone Rock, May 14.-There il alb
solutely no truth whatever in q report
that the body Of little Daryl NARROW
had been found in a grove of q wealthy
resident Of Fenton. 1t is greatly feared
, that Mrs. NARROW will become insane
For eight days and nights she has not
had one wink OF sleep and she has re-
fused food and can not be comforted
So far Deputy Sheriff Sampson has
had matters entirely in his hands but
1t is expected that a detective will
soon be on the scene if not already
here.
The theories are that the child was
either stolen. lost or killed and Sc
GREETED. Nine tenths of the people
seemingly believe in the latter solu-
ton as the proper one. A ball game
was being played here and the Cam
eron home is located on the main road
between Lone Rock and Fenton and it
Is believed that fully 100 autos passed
by the home on this day. The house
is set back from the road about ten
rods and in front of the house is quite
a heavy grove so that the child would
not be seen five rods away from the
house. That he was killed by an auto
and the driver fearful that he might
be held responsible for the crime. took
the child and carried it away to
some distant part and hid or buried the
body. is the general theory. The leaves
upon which blood marks were thought

Logan of Fenton. and he says that It
is not blood. Also the track which
was found must have been that of a
or 5-year-old child.
