WON FIRST AND SECOND
Villas County Potato Growers
Carry Off Honors At Pota-
to Convention at Rhine
lander Last Week.

At the Wisconsin Potato Grow
.ers convention held at Rhine
lander last Thursday and Fri
day, at which hundreds of pota-
to culturists were present, and
IN which growers from eight
counties entered potatoes for
prizes, Villas county came out
with first and second Individual
honors over many an old potato
county. That's going some too.
Joseph Mayo carried off first
prize and James Morgan second
tor best individual Early Rose
exhibit.
Best first and second honors
for Rural New Workers were won
by Anton Falstad and George
Beard ofElcho, Langlade county.
Best county exhibits were: first,
Langlade county; second, Oneida;
third, Lincoln.
Eight counties entered for hon
ors: Villas, Rusk, Forest, Mari
nette, Waupaca, Oneida and
Lincoln.
1t was shown at this conven-
ton that the northern counties
(those principally in that pro-
posed forest reserve where the
soil is said to be no good fcr
cropping produced a much better
potato than those in the known
potato belt of central and south
ern Wisconsin. The various
exhibits shown, and the discus
sions by experts were we'll worth
seeing and hearing.
Those who attended from Villas
county were: VIM. Adams, Jos.
Mayo, Amos Radcliffe, N. M.
Emmons and Geo. E. O'Connor
of Eagle River; Dennis Paquette
of Arbor Vitae and J. w. Pinch

At the Wisconsin Potato Grow
ers' convention held last week,
it was conceded by men who
have experimentedin raising and
marketing potatoes that of all
varieties best suited for Wiscon-
sin, and which brings to the
grower the most money, there
are two that bring home the
bacon" year after year, and those
varieties are Rural New Workers
and Green Mountain.
These varieties are more hardy
and less susceptible to diseases
such as the potato family is heir
to; are also suited to our soil
conditions and have a greater
market value to the consumer
While each grower may prefer
some other variety and believe it
is the best, still, if he is growing
for the consumer and the con
sumner is willing to pay more for
another kind of tuber, this is the
one that should be grown. It's
the money the grower is after
and the popular variety is the
one to grow.

why" | asked Louise, do yor
suppose that he and Katharine insist

could not Crandall himself have recov
cred the document and restored 1t to
Katharine?"
Il asked him that. He told me that
the man who held It had made the
conlton that it should be received by
either my father or Katharine. They
did not wish 1t known that my ia

through the thicket until we came in
sight Of the cottage. There were two
men moving about in the cottage.
Young and another man whom Mr.
Crandall told me was the postmaster
at Ardway. He seemed surprised at
the presence OF the postmaster. We
watched for half an hour and then
took the automobile back to little
hotel about three miles away from Ard
way. For some reason. Mr.. Crandall
did not want to stop In Ardway."

here?"
we had dinner at the little hotel.
and as soon as 1t was dark, started
back for the cottage. When we ar
lived we found a light In the window
and saw Young there in stupor Just
as you see him. The other man was
nowhere around. After trying to
awaken Young, without success, Mr.,
Crandall searched his clothes, but
there was nothing in any of his peck
cts. He even felt all the seams. and
took of his shoes in search of the pa
per we wanted, but II was nowhere on
him. He ransaCked the cottage as well
as was possible In this dim light. but
could not find any suggestion of n
hiding place. Out in the little shed
that serves as a kitchen he found
slip on which was written a list OF
eatables-bread, milk, eggs and such
things. We decided from this that the
other man-Rouser, think Mr.. Gran
dali had said his name was-had gone
to some neighboring farmhouse or
store to lay in supplies and probably
would soon return. Mr.. Crandall sug-
gested our hiding in the bushes until
his arrival and we did so. We had
hardly taken our place behind the
bushes before we heard him coming.

CHAPTER XIII.
The STRANGE Wall.

Dawn found Inspector Davis and me
keeping strange vigil in the deserted
cottage. Louise was gone. Crandall
was gone. Constable Dodds was gone.
Only the two of us were there, and on
a rude couch in the corner, inert, un-
conscious with the death-like stupor
of the confirmed user of morphine, lay
the wreck Of a man whom Davis had
termed the master criminal.
On the inspectors return from his
pursuit of the postmaster he had at
once assumed the position of director
general of the little group at the cot
tage. He had decreed that Crandall
should take Louise back to town in
the automobile as soon as she was
able to travel.
After she has had an hours rest
here" he said authoritatively, her
nerves will have recovered sufficiently.
1t is important that the wound in her
arm should be dressed as quickly as
possible. It will be well, too, for her
to return as speedily as possible to
her father and sister. Her continued
absence, If It reaches their ears, will
needlessly alarm them both You, Mr..
Crandall, will take her back In the ma
chine in which you came, of course"
Certainly" said Crandan-over-
eagerly, l thought-"but, If you will
pardon me for asking, who are you?"
For reply Davis handed him his card
which bore his official title

"Pm here" said the inspector. Il
