suggest a better. The method was no

mind by the color of his accomplice's

motive was?"

was the end of this tangled clue. Then
I made inquiries as to this mysterious
assistant, and found that had to deal
with one of the coolest and most dar-

thing which took many hours a day
for months on end. What could 1t be,

PHONE PATRONS AT
EATON MAY START
INDEPENDENT FIRM

EATON, o., July 23.-Plans for Sc
curing a telephone system of their
own were freely discussed Thursday
night in a meeting of members of
rural organization of former patrons
of the Eaton Telephone company.
Nothing definite was developed. A
committee was named to ascertain the
cost, if a franchise is necessary, etc.
The propriety of County Agent E. D.
Turner continuing the telephone in his
office under the existing circumstan-
ces came in for comment. Agent
Turner arose in the meeting and ex-
planned that the telephone facilitated
his work, but If the farmers demanded
its removal he would abide by the
decision.

for a picnic for members of the or
ganization. 1t is planned to hold the
outing in August on the fairgrounds
but the date was not definitely fixed.
The next meeting of the organiza-
ton will be held August in the opera
house and, it is understood, will be
