Leaving the home Of c. w. Van
Malta, about six miles south of this

o'clock Monday afternoon, Miss Caro-

parents in Burlington to spend Christ
mas. She has not yet arrived.
Police were asked to unravel the
mystery of the disappearance Of the
young woman by relatives Tuesday,
and a search of the road and nearby
country has failed to furnish any evil
dcnce of the whereabouts OF the
young woman, either dead or alive.
Since the disappearance of the girl
became known to the whole country

Malta farm, residents of that vicinity
recall that they saw covered Fora

Burlington Fort Madison road pull up
to the side Of the girl as she was
trudging along the highway. Acting
on an invitation from the driver OF the
machine the girl entered the car.
Fear that the girl may have met

Evcn at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton. buy
food and grain at present prices from

It's time above all others to play

A good piece OF garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
