Many letters are being re-

Agriculture, Which indicate

sections of the country have
come to believe that the
Government is about to as
sist them with grants Of

unfortunate mistake, which
it is feared will be the cause
of considerable disappoint..
ment, appears to have arisen
through a misunderstanding
of the Smith-Leveract recent

The terrible cataclysm of
war has been happily reliev-
ed by the suggestion Of a
young woman of Washing
ton that all the people of the
United States go shopping
the same week in October,
and that all buy cotton
goods. This suggestion was
made by Miss Genevieve
Clark, daughter of the
Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives. While it was
done half.playfully, for Miss
Clark has a refreshing sense
of humor, she had no con-
ception of the nationwide
interest her playful sugges-
ton would arouse among the
business men Of the country.
At first the idea was ridicu-
led as unsound economically.
The more it was investigated,
however, the more sensible
did the suggestion appear,
and now the newspapers of
the country are taking it up
as a wonderfully happy in.

BURY UNIDENTIFIED
BODY IN CONCORDIA

The body of the unidentified man
which was found Sunday morning just
north of the Crazy Cat peak of the
Franklin mountains, was buried Mon
dav afternoon in the county COncor-
dia cemetery. The body had been hor-
ribly mutilated by wolves and on ac-
count of its condition it was impos-
sible to hold it longer. Efforts are
still being made to establish the ident-
ity of the man and to locate his rela-
tives.
The most important clew uncovered
was furnished by the automatic pistol
which was found under the mans
head. Investigations made by coroner
E. B. McClintock disclosed the fact
that the pistol had been leased by IF.

of the pockets of the coat the man
was wearing was the letter "A"
There were other letters, but they
were so indistinct that they could not
be deciphered The letters evidently
formed the mans name.
A laundry mark, "761," was found on
the mans clothing. No local laundry
is known to mark with numerals with
out letters. The mark it is believed
was made by some Kansas City laun-
dry.
