VALUE OF MANURE SPREADER
Saving of Labor Is Only One Of Many
Advantages Offered by the Use
of tho Implement.
To the Commissioners of the Richtisld
Highway District:

Most farmers believe that the great
est value to be derived from a ma
nure spreader is In the saving Of labor.
AS a matter of fact, this is only one
Of the advantages offered by the use
of such an implement.
Another advantage which is even
more important In many ways. Is the
fact that manure scattered evenly and
rather thinly over a wide area will
give very much more return per ton
than where scattered i%rregularly and
on the thinner places, as is usually
done when distributed from a wagon.
This increased return is due to the
fact that there Is less loss In fermenta-
ton when put On thinly, and also to
the fact that a considerable share Of
the value Of manure comes from the
addition Of beneficial bacteria to the
soil, so that when this takes place
over a wide area it Is much more bene-
than when limited to a small
area.

between three and four years old, my
brother, who was seven, and [ were

ST. Louis. Our mother was going
out on a shopping errand and she
told us not to leave the porch; that
she would not be gone long. While
we were left alone man approach
ed, threw a sack over my head and
carried me away. I was taken to a
shanty in some woods, where I was
kept quietly for a few months, and
within a year the man and woman
with whom I was staying gave me to
man and woman bearing the name
Of Wilson, in Winthrop, Iowa. The
oldest son of these people married
into the Bender family-notoriou
robbers and murderers, then living in
Nebraska This marriage caused trou-
BILE between the parents and the son,
and out of revenge the son took me
with him and l lived a life of terror
with the Benders for several years,
being obliged to witness many of their
atrocities.

the same one I lived with directly aft

for myself. I always remembered Wv
idly the incidents of M. kidnapplp

people. I was not rewarded, however,
until about four years ago when my
brother, Frank James, Of indianapolis,
saw one of my advertisements in The
Sun Of his city. In my ads. I referred
to the kidnapping in St. Louis and
quoted part of the words of my moth

whoever might read the same, and
thought he could establish relation

soon as he saw the ad and supplied
the missing words. I Immediately
went to Indianapolis to see him.

mother died a few months after I was
kidnapped, and father also died few
