LaFlant Boy ConfesseS

Grover LaPlant, 17-year. old son of Mrs
Maude LaPlant, confessed last Thursday
to Detective F. c. Brown of the Wood
Detective Bureau of Boston and States
Attorney Tracy of Johnson that he HIM
self wrote the demand for $500 that was
left in box on the doorstep of his moth
er's house Nov. 20, telling her that the
money must be left unguarded in the box
or his body would be disposed Of"
Young. LaPiant was found that evening
in sugar-house not far from his home
and told story of having been kidnapped
by three men in an automobile, simplifying
his story later to States Attorney Tracy
by saying that he had been bound to
tree, but had broken away from his
captors.
LaPlant at first to-day stubbornly re-
fused to admit that he had written the
demand for the money. Then the detec-
tive laid his cards on the table, telling him
he knew where he had bought the paper
on which the threat was written and where
he had secured the box Even then the
boy stuck to his original story. He was
made to do some writing and when the
similarity between that and the writing of
the threat was pointed out to him he still
refused to admit anything.
Finally. he did confess. and said he had
left home Nov. 1; because of dissatisfaction,
but had succeeded in the two weeks he
was gone in earning only $40.
The threat that Mrs. LaPlant found
caused her great anxiety and it is under
stood she would have mortgaged her place
to raise the money. The story of the kid
mapping caused considerable excitement,
but the authorities did not place any Gre
dence in it from the start.
The boy was given a strong lecture by
the States attorney and told to go home
and confess to his mother and ask her to
forgive him. He promised to do so.

PLAN UNIQUE FOREST SYSTEM
New Workers Aim to Make County
One Continuous Park, and Have
the Trees Pay Taxes.

To make the loafing acre work is
the plan Of Otsego county, New York,
which has started campaign TO plant
forest of 100 acres on the waste
lands In each OF the "a townships of
that county.
The plans, says the New York Times,
are to develop county system similar
TO the city park plan, with its har-
monized system of connecting boule-
wards. The project involves the de-
velopment Of comprehensive highway
system.
The forests will be located so that
they will serve rs green nature sign
boards along the highways, to adver-
tise to the world that the county has
its own forests, owned, planted and
maintained by the public for the flu
ture generations.
AS the trees mature they will pro-
vide I'm the future an income which
will mean an actual cash return to
serve as an offset against taxation.
European towns often pay the cost Of
operation of their government from
their forests, having no taxes, but this
requires a greater area of forest than
is proposed for Otsego.

1t may as well be set down that for
Mrs. Hardy Coward had no regard
whatever. Even while he shaped soft
words for her ear he held her In con-
tempt. To him she was merely a silly
old woman.
From the day he had first seen Mrs.
Hardy his attitude toward her had
been one Of subtle fiattery, partly be-
cause IL pleased his within and partly
on that same day he had seen Irene,
and he was shrewd enough to know
that his approach to the girls affcc-
lions must be made by way of the &C
quaintanceship which he would estab-
fish under the guise OF friendship for
her mother. Since his trouble with
Dave Coward had a double purpose
in developing that acqualntanceship.

"He has the manners of a gentle
man." she said, in a tone intended to
be crushing.
"And the morals of a coyote" Dave
returned holly.
"O-O-o-h !" said Mrs. Hardy, in n low,
shocked cry. That Eden should speak
of Coward with such dlsdain seemed
to her little less than sacrilege. Then,
gathering herself together with some
dignity: "If you cannot speak re-

USE MEXICAN OIL

Total consumption of petroleum in the United States is 30,000,000 barrels per year greater than the supply. includ. ing both Mexican and domestic oil according to 1918 figures, leaving that much to be drawn from stored oil in the United States. He says tae responsibility for the situation rests with President Wilson as Mexican authorities have attempted to force American oil companies to relinqIish their legally acquired Mexican prop critics and are using force of arms to prevent the drilling of new wells
