"I'll be there in less than ten min =

Hunt knew Huffnagle well. He was

the old man had Mt last "gotten re-

Hunt found the private detective at
Wainer's house in the custody Of sew

"Wainer's been murdered, said one
0f the men. 'Throat cut from ear to

you've got to show me-"
Briefly, Huffnagle's story was this:

CHILDREN AND CALVES

Colleges are maintained to teach
the farmer how to raise livestock in
the right way. Extension lecturers
visit the farms to give demonstra-
tons, and the newspapers aud mag
azines are full of Information about
the care of the calf and the hog and
the colt and the pullet The county
fair offers prizes for the best OF the
various breeds; banks lend money
to improve the herds and floeks OF
the district.
Isn't It about time that the train
ing and proper feeding of babies is
given equal attention? If all this
educational campaign is good for the
calf, why wouldn't something similar
help little brother and little sister?
The Lynden school. and every other
institution in the land, is full of
youngsters. who have
not been given the right kinds of
food or training in their homes, not
out of any lack of affection on the
part of the parents, but because they
knew no better.
Right rations and proper handling
arc Just as important for the boy as
for the colt--but up to now. the boy
hasn't counted much in the eyes of
our educators and lawmakers.
