Agent Displays
 Good of Science

c. H. Thomas, county agent, is demonstrating at his office in the court house patches of sweet pota- toes grown in the county by farm CTS who employ governmental advice in raising their crop and compares the advice of the government agents.
 The agent claims with displaying specimens from the farm of s. A. Fleming, six miles out on the Cam dem road, that this farmer received a crop five times better than his neighbors who did not employ scien- tific methods of disinfection.
 By testing seed potatoes and talk ing precautions, prescribed aganst infection, the agent says the farmer can get five times the yield from the same fields. MT. Thomas said he was trying to get farmers interested in the scientific manner of handling the sweet potato.

SIXTEEN YEARS
NLONELY CELE
FOR JOLIET GIRL
Polish Mother Forced to
Release Imbecile Child
From Captivity.

Yesterday witnessed the resur-
rection Of Maria Zumback from her
prison In the basement of the Zum-
hack cottage ON the outskirts Of
Joliet, where she had been confined
sixteen years. As the helpless,
stunted body of the 1S-year-old girl
was carried out into the MONDAY
sun, she blinked her lusterless
eyes In pain at the sunlight which
she had not seen since she was a
child Of two.
For sixteen years she has clung
to life under conditions that beggar
description.
Mrs. Zumback is a Polish woman.
The family lives in foreign col
ony beyond the Joliet city limits.
The mother has five children be-
sides Maria, all normal. Maria

gested household. And when it be-
came apparent that she was not go

The child was fed on cruel and

Although Is years old, she has
physical proportions Of a child of

The mouth remains partially
open at all times, as in a baby. The
drawn little features register 40

nizes no one. She never cries, can
not talk, but continually mutters
cultural sounds.
"One Of the most astounding
cases of cretinism ever brought to
my attention" was the diagnosis Of
DR.. Klein. The child bears every
indication of the complete absence
of the very essential thryoid gland.
Sees No Hope for Her.
