bell, Sioux City, Ia" This lnfor.
nation was furnished Sherlft
Gormley, who took a train for
Sioux city Sunday.
In the post office of the Iowa
town this morning, the sheriff ar
rested Hill as he called for the
suit case. He had been furnished
with a description of the man. by
residents of Brighton, who say they
saw him with the girl last Thurs
day evening.
"My Hunch Was Right"
In long distance telephone con-
versation with the Denver Times
today, Sheriff Gormley asserted,
my bunch was right. I felt that
1 was on the right track when !
pulled out of Denver"
at found him today and shall
bring him back to Denver imme-
diately," said the sheriff. II shall
arrive in Denver day after tomor-
row.
IT can't tell much of the story
over the telephone, but Hill, who
gave his name when captured as
Harry Vernon Hill, denies all
knowledge of the crime and pro-
fessed total ignorance that the
child was even dead.
HE said that he started from
Denver Thursday morning for Fort
Morgan with little Helen Maxine
Short to seek work. He was going
to leave the child there with some
relatives of his wife, he declared.
He took a stockyards street car to
the end of the line, then hired an
automobile and rode to Derby.
Intended to Seek Work.
"At Derby, he declared, he mall
ed the suit case to Akron, where
he intended to seek work. At Der
by he hired second automobile
that carried him as far as Bar
lake. Here, he says, he parted
company with the girl"
The sheriff said Hill told him
he decided to go east for work and
arranged to have the girl brought
to Denver. HE said he hired a
man with an automobile to take
her back to her mother" said
Gromley. "This was the last he
saw of the child, he says" con-
tinued the sheriff.
Hill maintains he knew nothing
of the crime until informed by the
sheriff this morning, according to
the latter.
"Hill tells q disconnected story,
but thinks he can explain" At
this point the conversation with
the Times was cut abruptly and
another voice on the wire said
Gromley had to hurry to catch his
train for Denver.
1.-THE train pulls out at 1920
and it's IL o'clock now" said the
voice.
Gromley is expected to arrive
here with his prisoner Thursday.

FISHERMEN SUPPLIED
WITH SHRIMP BAIT BY
MEXICAN MEN, WOMEN
lRx The Associated Press.l

Corpus Christi, Texas, July 70
The dozens of lanterns to be seen
on street corners in the business
section of Corpus Christi about 2
o'clock in the morning cause the
tourist on his first trip here TO ask
questions. The visitors wake up
and see twelve or more lanterns
at the side or Nex1cans.
The Mexicans are selling shrimp
for fish bait. During the early
part of the night they fish Tor tho
shrimp, off the municipal docF
and other places where the supply
is plentiful. By midnight they APP
pear on the street corners with
lanterns and buckets of bait, wait
ing for the early morning fisher
man.
Most of the fishing around Cor
pus Christi is done between 2 a. m
and daylight. The traffic in bait
during those hours is comparative
Nv heavy, the prices varying from
10 cents to % cents a dozen Tor
shrimp. Some anglers prefer large
shrimp and some like the little
shrimp, but most of those who buy
S0IlI1D Ol any SlHC NtbietLO NAANs
catch their moneys worth Of fish
before he comes in at daybreak.
The Mexican dealers are good at
price cutting-or raising, as the
market conditions dictate. If the
weather has been bad and not
many shrimp are on hand, good
prices are demanded and obtained.
If bait is plentiful. bargaining Is
in order.
Many women fish before day
light, some nights almost as many
as there are men, and frequently
the women return with better
strings than their male companions.
This is said to be because OF the
more patience the women have
and also because they usually have
the men bait the hooks, which
takes time from the fishing by the

Mr.. Dodson, the Liver Tone
Man, Tells the Treachery

Calomel loses you day! You
know what calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick

bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out
and believe you need a dose of dan
gerous calomel just remember that
your druggist sells for few cents
a large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone, which is entirely vegetable
and pleasant to take and is a per-
feet substitute for calomel. 1t is
guaranteed to start your liver with
out stirring you up inside. and can
not salivate.
Don't take calomelI It can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or
a wild-cat. Take Dodson's Liver
Tone which strengthens you right
up and makes you feel fine. Give
It to the children because 1t is per-
fectlZ harmless and doesn't grippe.

Failures and Advertising.

It is asserted that IS per cent Of the bust
ness failures of the past year occurred among
firms which did not advertise. This ought to
serve as an enlightening suggestion to those
concerns which still insist that money paid
cut TOR advertising is waste.
Effectiveness Of the printed word in in
creasing sales has been too well established
t. call for argument. but despite the living
proofs Of success built upon publicity all
arouhd us there are those who persist in cling
ing 10 the mistaken notion that advertising
does. not help in their particular line Of
business.
Publicity today is recognized rs the great
est ferce in the world. You may doubt the
assei3ion. but The fact remains that publicity,
or advertising. won the World war. few

Wages on the Farm.

Wage rates for farm labor reached their
highest point in the history Of this country in
1920, as national averages. As ascertained by
the bureau Of crop estimates, United States
department Of agriculture, the average wage
rate for labor hired by the month was $3.50.
with board, and 1896 without board; for day
labor other than at harvest, $2.S6 with board,
and $3.50. without board
The rate Of 1895 for hirings by the month
without board was $17.69 as an average for
the United States and no other year in the
record Of the bureau extending back to 1866
had a lower rate. except 1879 with 1882.
By 1902, this wage rate had increased to
$2214. by 1914 to $685. followed by $so.15 in
1915. with no evidence Of war effect. This ef-
feet appeared, perhaps. as a small beginning
In the next year, 1915. when the wage rate
was $685.
Then followed rapid rise to $404s in 1917,
to $47.o7 in 1918. to $5s2s in 1919 and to se4 s5
in 1920.
The rate Of gain over 1895 was 70 per cent
IN 1915 and 267 per cent in 1890
From 1915 to 1920, farm labor received
gain in wage rate Is high as lis per cent. This
was one Of the causes Of the greatly increased
cost Of producing things on the farm. which
las hit the farmer so hard In the declining
market for his crops Of 1920.
