EIGHT DAYS HUNT FINDS NJ GLUE II ERHARDT SLAYER
More Than 1.50 Arrests Have Been Made But Suspects Have Been Released Many Private Detectives Quit

With an alapse Of eight days since the discovery O. the terrihle murder OF Mir. and Mrs Jacob Erhar5t at their home on West Van Buren street no person yet has been charged with the crime and no clue has been found by khe officers that points to any par ticular person al the guilty one.
 Many arrests have been made Of suspicious characters or o9 persons who it is thought may have mad knowledge of anything in connection with the affair. but after a careful ip~ vestigation all have been released. II the officials have any new clues to the slayer or slaye.ts they are working on them secretly and have made public nothing in connection with them.
 Becoming disheartened at lack Of success, many of the private detectives who have been working oR 8. solution of the Erhardt murder in nope Of se curing the largt reward offered for their capture, have given up ana re- turned to their regular occupation as private citizens. The offer Of more than Ss0OO for the capture of the slayer was 2 big incentive and attracted many for lime, but most Of them have stopped work" One or two were notified by officials Of the sheriffa office 10 confine their efforts 70 field in which they would not interfere with the county's men
 Posses Still out
 Since the jay the crime was dis covered a posse has been in pursuit Of two negroes who were seen ln the vi~ cinity Of the ErhardG home Sunday afternoon preceding the murder and who the next morning were seen about I5 miles north of Phoenix driving toward Wichenburg. These negroes have traye1ed only al night and have avoided Gowng When last heard from they were rear Congress Junction. That was Fri1ay night and the follow ing day a second posse was sent out in which is Jacob Erhardt. Js-. the eldest son of the Erhardts,
 It was stated yesterday by physi~ hardts had been made about four hours learned that all the blows were struck from directly above. which would in dicate, tt was said, that neither of the victims was standing at the time.
 That the officials have not been idle since the discovery Of ghe crime is at tested by ths fact that more than 150 arrests have been made, but all have satisfactorily proved that they had no knowledge of the affair. Tn the face of the announcement that the officials have no clue to the slayer le js Fu- mored that Very satisfactory progress has been made and that an arrest soon will be madil and the mystery solved.

BORROWED
IDEAS
How to Break a
Clay Crust

When many neighbors were dis
couraged because the soil was packed
by extremely heavy rains after the
grain had been planted, Louis Koltz
hitched his horses to a three-section
drag and broke the crust so that the
tiny plants could come through. AS
you will see from the photograph re-
produced on this page, he set the teeth
of the harrow straight up and down
and put on a light weight. This
was necessary in order to break the
crust. In fact he had to go over
the field twice, going both length wise
and crosswise.
His results were more than salts
factory, for, with the crust broken,
the plants easily broke their way
through the soil and grew very rap
idly from that time on. While this
was rather an unusual condition, it
is likely that similar conditions may
arise at other times, and it is a plan
that it will pay you to remember.
