When the chiggers and the fieas
Make you burney to your knees,
You'll be waiting for I'm coming

When the days are the longest and

And one feels like life wasn't worth

POSSE HUNTING GIRL Al.
DUCrOR Is OCTW FITTED


WEIGH, w. va..-The posse of
100 men armed with high-powered
guns which started out to day after
a band of outlaws headed by Man
derville Farley, alleged army de-
serer, charged with abducting and
holding prisoner in the mountains
near here, the 14-year-old daugh-
ter of Kenneth Abshire, a farmer,
returned tonight empty handed.
They found the outlaw camp
abandoned and it is believed by the
men of the posse that its occupants
we're tipped off about their coming.
Sheriff Q. j. Elliott, Mercer coun-
ty, and Sheriff George Foster. Ra-
leigh county, who headed the ex-
petition, said they will continue the
search for Farley and his band, but
that their movements would be
kept secret.
Abshire's daughter, it is alleged,
was lured from her fathers home
two weeks ago by Farley, Abshire,
having himself deputized as a spe-
cial officer and obtaining a warrant
for Farley's arrest, went into the
mountains last week.
He met Farley with the girl and
opened fire on the mountaineer.
Although wounded by two shots
from Abshire's gun, the mountain
eer managed to escape with the girl
wnen a dozen of his companions
went to his assistance.
In another encounter with the
band, Deputy Sheriff Edward Wills,
Raleigh county, was beaten badly
by the outlaws.

BOY KILLED BY
GUN IN AMBUSH

Lexington, Ky, Aug. 10.-Capt.
V. C. Millikin, of this city, has gone
with bloodhounds to investigate the
murder of the 9-year-old son of
Elisha Johnson, who was shot from
ambush about o'clock last night.
Father and son were standing side
by side on the porch of their cabin,
according to the message to Milf
kin, when a rifle concealed in
nearby clump of bushes was fired
and the boy fell dead at his fathers
feet. The murder has aroused the
entire countryside and a posse is
looking for the guilty person, ac-
cording to word received here to-
day. The shooting is thought to
have been the result of revenge be-
cause of JohnsOn's demand that
laws be obeyed when a lawless ele-
ment of Breathitt county was adj
vising evasion of the draft.
The shooting took place on the
Middle Fork River, twelve miles
from Jackson.

STOCKS OF FOOD in STOR-
AGE GROW AS PRICES GO VI
u. S. Trade Commission Thinks
Supplies Being Withheld For
Speculation -'-

Washington, August 11.-Al-
though prices of practically all i'm
portant foods have shown a sub
stantial increase during the last
year, stocks of food held in stor-
age on June 1 this year were ap-
proximately 20 per cent greater
than those held on June 1, 1918,
according to a memorandum show
ing the relation between storage fl
cures and prices issued to-day by
the Federal Trade Commission.
Government stocks were excluded
from the comparison.
1.-THE fact that stocks OF many
important foods were much larger
on June 1 this year than on the
same date last year." said the COM
missions statement, while prices
we're as high or higher, apparently
means that they are being with
held spculatively for world de-
mand which is not now here, but
which is expected when hunger-im-
PEELED strikes secure higher wages
with which higher food prices can
be paid"
To show that the law of supply
and demand is not working the
commission listed eight staple foods
which on June 1 showed an in
crease in stocks withheld from the
market ranging from 3 to 29S per
cent, over stocks on June l, 1918,
and in each instance there was
shown to have been a substantial
advance in the wholesale price dur
ing that period. Stocks of frozen
fowls showed maximum increase
of 2sS per cent, and the price de-
spite this fact Increased three cents
a pound. Wheat stocks showed an
increase of 174 per cent, with an
increase in price of 81 cents; -four
stocks an increase of 81 per cent,
with an increase in the price per
barrel of nearly So; egg stocks an
increase of 9.S per cent, with an
increase in price of IL cents. and
butter stocks an increase Of l29
per cent, with the price soaring IL
cents above last years figure. Salt
beef, canned salmon and canned
corn completed the items in this
table, the latter showing an increase
of 81 per cent, in stocks with an in
crease in price.
All dry storage stocks, according
to the commissions figures, showed
an average increase of 124 per cent.
OF these not listed in the above Ia
BILE. stocks of rye increased BAG per
cent; barley, 2O7 per cent; buck
wheat -four, 1927 per cent, and can
ned tomatoes. 202 per cent.
Increase in other cold storage
stocks were shown as follows; Cur
ed beef, 1O3 per cent; frozen lamb
and mutton, 81 per cent; frozen
pork, 20 per cent, and picked pork
10 per cent.
