MISSING FARMER
FOUND ON HIS FARM
FOULLY MURDERED
Prominent Indiana Farmer Missing
Since Tuesday Found Dead
In Clump Of Bushes.

Seymour, Ind, August 26. - A bru'
tai murder was revealed here Thurs
day afternoon with the finding Of the
mutilated body Of Amazona B. Mont
gomery, 40 years old, this city, who
disappeared Tuesday from his farm
four miles east Of Seymour.
The body was found in a heavy
thicket about mile and half north OF
the Montgomery farm by. Volney Car
ter, young farmer, who with several
other men living in the same neigh
borhood conducted search.
An empty shotgun shell was found
close to the body. The back of Mont
gomery's skull was crushed. Author
tiles believe this blow probably caused
his death. His left shoulder was fr.ac-
tured and there were bruises and cuts
on his body. Just under the RICH eye
there is a small wound which is be-
lieved to have been caused by small
bullet or a lead shot.
Lying close to the body was the life
less form of his faithful little dog
which accompanied him wherever he
went about the farm. The dog had
been shot.
1t is believed that Montgomery was
attacked at his farm and his body car
ried to the lonely spot where it was
found. The tall grass and weeds in
the thicket were not broken down.
which would have been the case had
a struggle taken place. The Masonic
Lodge in Seymour has engaged an
Indianapolis detective to work on the

WHERE WAS NESTOS?

r. A. Nestos, Twiche1lite candidate
for governor, wants the management
of the State Institutions kept out of
politics. BY this, we presume he means
the kind of politics his state-knocking
hackers are dealing in. But, be this
as it may, we have a hazy recollection
that in 1914 when Judge Young and
Tracy R. Bangs had Professor Levin
sohn fired from the faculty of the law
school because the professor had ex-
ercised his right Of citizenship and
had taken part in the progressive re-
publican convention that nominated
y. Z. Burdick for governor against
j. B. Hanna, Nestos was as silent as
q clam. Young's action resulted in
the resignation Of the dean of the
law school, together with a number of
other members Of the faculty of the
University who refused to bow their
necls in submission to the Northern
Pacific dictator, but, tho the incident
created q great stir no one ever heard

. perhaps there is a larger reason
why the financial powers of the
country would like to see the North
Dakota banking system come to
naught. If the North Dakotans have
actually found a freer, more popular
and more democratic system of finan-
cling their activities than that which
is represented by Wall Street, the
business instinct that is typical of
Wall Street is enough to explain any
opposition that the North Dakota sys-

is cooperative public ownership or
control of the manufacturing and
marketing Of flour and other farm
products, of the elevators and ware
houses requisite for this purpose, and
of the banks necessary to finance the
operations. The smoke of battle must
clear, apparently, before observers
can correctly determine che position

ON BABIES

Chicago's cost-of-living expert, Rus
sell J. Poole, states that his investiga-
ton into the high price of milk in that
city reveals the existence of a "com-
bine system" which not only fixes the
price the farmers must accept for
their milk, but compels the consum-
ers to pay var prices by pouring
large quantities of milk into the sew
r rather than decrease profits to a
point where poor people can buy it.
In contrast to this constituencies
crew, who put profits above the lives
of babies and the health of poor peo-
pie, $500 farmers near the cities of
st. Paul and Minneapolis formed the
Twin Cities Milk Producers Associa-
ton for the cooperative distribution
of their milk at fair prices direct to
the city consumers. In consequence,
the people Of st. Paul and Minneapolis
are now getting milk for lie a quart
which is the lowest price on record for
any large city in the United States.
The farmers are perfectly satisfied,
because they are saving through CO.
operative marketing more than $780,
900 a month that formerly went to
swell the profits of the large milk dis
tributors. The efficiency with which
this cooperative organization works is
indicated by the fact that the total
cost of taking the milk from the pro-
ducers to the consumers is but 81 per
cent Of the farmers price.
Progress in the cooperative distri-
button Of milk is not confined to the
Minnesota section. One New England
Milk Producers Association has 81, 900
and another over 10000 farmer men,
bers. Both of these associations oper-
ate not only cooperative creamcries
and condenseries, but also retail
stores.
