Until Identification was made last

switching engine yesterday morning.
The body was identified as that of tbe
wife of George Richardson. ninht
Waterman, of Eleventh street and Fddv-

on the railroad He communicated with
Deputy Coroner Drews. who described
the body, in its dress of white silk. with
white shoes and silk stockings, but with
out hat or coat. and Richardson realized
the terrible truth.
It is believed that Mrs. Richardson
was hit by fast train as she was max
ing a short cut to her home. She left
her house about O'Clock Tuesday night

neighbor, Mrs. Adam Betsch. to accom-

of Strawberry Point, Clayton county,
has been awarded first prize on his

pect to BE Farmer" He Is therefore

large and Irwin F.. Meyer, Of McGregor-
the. second best in that county, viii
represent Taylor county in the camp
Practically every county In the state
will be represented in the camp. In
his essay Mr.. Gill gives among other
reasons the following of why he en-
poets to be a farmer:
Farming is not a narrow life with
it's single problem as many people be-
lieve. 1t Is a broad life. presenting
its many problems. There are many
departments on one farm, among which
are crop raising, stock raising, stock
dairyine, hog raising. fruit growing
and many other departments which
might be mentioned. The farmer is
manager standing at the head Of &
great departmental organization, re-
sponsible for the success or failure OF
each and every department. If he Is
to make farming paying industry he
must be trained for his work the same
as the manager Of any other industry.
He must also take an active part in
politics for the interests of agricul-
tural legislation. Taking all these diff
ferent aspects into consideration farm
ing must be considered a broad life.
Financially farming appeals to me.
In the first place farmer can obtain
most of his living directly from the
farm. Besides his own living he must
supply the whole urban world with his
products Their progress or failure
depends upon the production of the
farmer. There is always a great de-
mand for his produce and for this rea-
son the market is always relatively
high. What the farmer has to sell
needs no advertisement. All he needs
to do is to put his article on the mar,
ket The merchant must create want
in the minds of the public in order to
make his sale. while in the case of the
farmer the want is already created and
all he needs to do Is to supply that
want"
