Man Hunt in Lamont

On Wednesday night of last week
some party or parties entered the hog
lot of Will SALESMAN, who lives north
of Lamont, and killed $40 pound
hog and carted it Off. Mr.. Salesman
discovered his loss Thursday morning
when he went out to feed his hogs.
He sent to Creston that morning
for the bIoodhounds and they got
here that afternoon. About 4 D. m.
the hounds were started on the trail
from the Salsman place, they went
west to the Battle corner, then south
to the Midgorden corner, then east
to the l.. F. Hammer corner, and
here they lost the scent but soon
picked it up again and went south
on State street to the w. A. Grena-
walt corner then east to the l.. J.
Frink corner, south to the Barney
Nelson corner, east again to the Fred
Bailey corner, then north across the
track, then east again where the
scent stopped.
The house where the dogs stopped
was thoroughly searched but no meat
was found Friday morning County
Attorney Springer was down on the
case but not enough evidence was Sc
cured to make any arrests.
These dogs are we'll trained and
Mr.. SALESMAN says he was well repaid
for the money spent in getting them
here, in watching them wOrk.-Lamo-

Put Iowa Where She Belongs.

The 1916 record beats 1915 by $751;

principal reason for this price obtain

Few Hours Work in Time
Saves Tedious Toll Later.
URGES ALSO LOOSENING SOIL
Cabbage and Tomato Plants Set
Out Now viii Do Well, He Says.

Most amateur farmers IN and about
Washington are busy in their gardens
today.
They are pulling weeds and loosen
ing up the earth about their plants:
That is II they are following the ad-
vice of H. NJ. Connolly, Department
Of Agriculture demonstration, who is
promoting food via the back door
along with the Central Garden Com
mittee.
"a few hours work today will save
many long days work later in the
season." said Mr.. Connolly this morn
ing. THE. weeds are now tender and
young and can easily BE pulled from
the earth. Give them a few days
start and they will become tough and
hard to pull from the soil. All that
our GOOD gardeners have to do at this
time is to pull the weeds which have
sprouted from the ground following
the rain. 1t is a good plan to loosen
up the soil about the plants by rak-
ing.
Conditions Favor Big Crops.
Conditions are ideal FOR the home
garden in Washington. There is
nothing to prevent local gardens from
raising bumpe- crops.
There is stfll plenty Of time for
making the garden. Cabbage plants
and tomato plants set out now will
do exceptionally well. Beans may be
sown to good advantage now as may
peas and corn. Late crops are de-
sired by the farmers"

10000 FREIGHT CARS
ORDERED BY RUSSIA
Cost Estimated to Be In NeighbOr-
hood Of $l9,000,000.

NEW YORK, May 30.-The Russian
government has made arrangements
with car manufacturing companies in
this country for the construction of
10000 freight cars, according to in
formation obtained in the steel trade
yesterday. The estimated cost Of this
rolling stock is in the neighborhood
OF S19, 900, 90, and il is understood that
Russian agents are negotiating with
locomotive builders for about 400 To-
comotives. Commenting on the orders
the Iron Age says:
''Of the long-awaited Russian car
orders II is significant that two have
been given out through Washington
for 5000 cars each to the Standard
and American Car and Foundry Com
pany shops. The rolled steel require
ments are $4,000 to $4,000 tons. An
item in exports for locomotive work is
900 tons OF tires"
In discussing the general iron and
steel situation, this periodical contIn-
ues:
1.-The enormous volume of the gov
ernment's purchases OF steel,f those
now under final negotiations and
those expected in the near future,
tends to put prices higher for the
manufacturing consumer.
There is great interest in the plac-
ing by the Government OF 100000
shells for the field artillery on which
awards are looked for daily. About
SO, 900 tons OF steel will be required.
The expected falling of in con-
sumption OF steel for automobiles has
come Makers OF pleasure cars are
curtailing operations, and in some
cases have asked for the holding up
OF shipments. So far as the mills are
concerned, such requests are welcome.
