The details, OF course. were meager.
There was a double-leaded account OF
her visit 10 the inn and her extraor-
dinary return 10 the city. Her chief
interest. however. did not rest In
these particulars. but In the specula-
tions OF the authorities as TO the iden-
tity OF the mysterious woman--and
her whereabouts. There was the like
lihood that che was not the only one
who had encountered the girl on the
highway or In the neighborhood OF the
inn. SO far as she could CLEAN from
the reports. however. no one had seen
the girl. nor was there the slightest
hint offered as TO her identity. The
papers OF the previous afternoon had
published lurid accounts OF the mur-
der, with oil OF the known details. the
name OF the victim at that time still
being a mystery. She remembered
reading the story with no little inter
est. The only new feature In the case,
therefore, was the Identification OF
Challis Wrandall by his beautiful
wife," and the sensational manner In
which Il had been brought about.

Large Wheat Yield

The largest yield of wheat re-
ported ID this locality this season
was that Of Jones Bros. threshed
at The Oaks last week. The q
acre field made an average of 36
bushels. 1t is the Poole No. 3
variety and is of fine quality.
When asked to account for this
high yield when others in this
locality were only getting from 10
to % bushels per acre, j. Paul
Jones said: We attribute the
yield to the fine condition the
ground was put in; the late plant
ing, October %, escaping the fly in
the fall and the 125 pounds per
acre of bone meal treatment given
at planting time = On the state
experiment grounds conducted by
Jones Bros. wheat plots given the
bone meal treatment have shown a
return of $4.38 per acre above the
cost of treatment, over the returns
from plots given no treatment.
This indicates that bone meal is a
great fertilizer and can be used at
a profit.
