An abandoned automobile and a note
signed "Unc,' probably meaning
Uncle in which suicide is intimated,
are clews connected with the disappear
ance in Brattleboro of a Greenfield,
Mass, resident for whom the Brattle
boro police have been searching this
forenoon.
The first that was known here of the
disappearance was when Undertaken c.
f. Mccarthy of Greenfield entered the
Brattleboro garage and inquired about
getting a car from the village common
and putting it in the garage until called
for.
Sanford A. Smith of the garage went
after the car, and learned that it had
been on the common, near the road and
opposite Mrs w. H. Brackets house,
since late yesterday afternoon.
The machine was a Chevrolet bearing
the Massachusetts number plate 21S14O,
which is listed in the Massachusetts book
of registrations in the name of Charles
S Hawkes. of SO Bank Row, Greenfield,
Mass. 1t was an old machine and con
tanned some tools and a dark brown over
coat with nothing in the pockets except
white handkerchief and handful Of
matches
Mr.. Mccarthy showed Mr.. Smith a
note which said in substance: This is
the last time you viii hear from me.
Don't go to the expense of looking for
me" The writer of the note intimated
that he would make way with himself
and be enclosed some money with the in
struction to Give the money to Leon.
He viii know what to do with it.
This was all the information that was
given Mr. Smith. and since then The
RefOrmer has been unable to locate Mr..

was accompanied by young woman said
to be a niece of Mr.. Hawkes.. 1t has

WATER THOU ART"
Plenty of It Important to Health-Many

What are we made Of? We are made
of food and drink. Our flesh and blood
and bones are simply a transformation
from what we have eaten and drunk.
No wonder the quality of our blood, our
organs, whole bodies, depends so
greatly on our meals No wonder physi-
clans are preaching that our health de-
pends more on our diet than on any
other one thing. Water. either as such
or in other beverages, is tremendously
important to health.

e7O.oO0 RATs KILLED.
Texas determination Drives Have
Ended Lives of These Pests

Six hundred and seventy thousand
rats were killed in the determination
drives in Texas last year. County agents
employed comparatively by the United
States department of agriculture, state
agricultural colleges, and the counties
promoted many of the campaigns with
the help of members of local farm bu-
reaus and chambers of commerce and
under the general supervision of biologi-
cal survey rodent control specialists.
Some counties were divided into zones
and money was raised to be given as
prizes to men, boys. and schools killing
the largest number of rats. The county
superintendent Of schools and school
teachers assisted particularly in stimu-
lating the interest of the pupils.
The most rats were killed in Denton
county. The boy having the greatest
number to his credit killed $4,000 in six
weeks In Williamson county another
boy killed 500 in two weeks.
Tt is estimated that the rats averaged
about half pound each. making about
167 tons of rats killed during the cam
paign. 1t is also estimated that each rat
had it lived year would on an average
have eaten or damaged property worth
81. making the results of the campaign
worth approximately $670,0QO.

NAVAJO INDIANS WEAVING.
Knew Every known Stitch Long Before
Coming of White Man.

The Navajo Indians of New Mexico
invented and knew every known weav
ing stitch long before the coming of the
white man, SAYS Dr.. George Wharton
James, who is an authority on Indian
rugs and blankets.
Writing in the juno Mentor Maga
zine, DIR. James tells the story OF Ma
vaho weaving, a genuine American con
tribution to the art of the world, which
is only now generally being recognized
as such. DIR. James found one of the
rarest old rugs of his collection in
corral, where it was being used to wipe
the axle of his buggy!
The best Navajo weaving was done
before the day of the trader, DR.. James
says The workmanship was generally
better, and the designs more truly In
dian. The Indians prepared the wool,
dyed it with natural colors, and were
careful with the weaving These blan
kets were so wen made they would hold
water Later the Indians obtained :.
red baize from the Spanish, which the
unraveled and respun into yarn fol
their weaving. This gave them the ricl.
red that is the dominant color III many
of the old blankets.
Indian weaving was demoralized by
the craze for Indian craftsmanship that
swept the country in 1890. The traders
pressed the Indians for a greater num-
ber of blankets and more startling de-
signs. ItleV furulSHeu Ineul WIFI ami
line dyes and cotton warps to speed up
production. The product of this period
is badly made, inartistically colored and
shockingly designed.
Now that the Indian fad is past, the
Indians are again weaving good blan
kets. Blanket fairs are held. Taste
full design and good workmanship is en-
couraged. 1t is possible, SAYS DR.. James,
that better blankets than were made in
former times will be produced now.
Modern Indian designs will never be
equal to that of the old blankets so long
as the Indians are commerciaHzrd, DR..
James saws. The design of Navajo
rug was influenced by many other con-
sid6rations than the purely decorative
one The weaver drew upon the elabo-
rate Navajo symbolism in which the
sun. the moon, the wind, rain-every.
thing-have meaning. BY, means of
these symbols she wove into the blanket
her hopes, aspirations, religious feeling
all her innermost THOUGHTS. While so
enerossed it was inevitable that the
blanket thus produced would be her best
work. To-day, with no other motive
than traders order actuating her, the
weaver's design lacks the artistic i'm
portance of the earlier work.

Collision Last Evening

\ Buick driven by William Harbutt
of Putney and an Oakland driven by
Henry J. Rabidau of 800 South Main

Rabidau was driving out Pine street

CHICAGO, June 16, ASSOCIATED
sPress. On the eve of another railway
wage slash expected to lop nearly $780,
100000 from the railroads annual
labor bill covering 325, 200 employees,
gossip in rail circles centered today on
the question of whether. if a strike bal
lot authorizes the men to quit, a walk
out will actually take place.
Reports were that 100 per cent vote
was expected and that indications thus
far were that it would be overwhelm-
ingly in favor of a strike Wage cuts
for other classes of workers were re-
garded as certain forerunners of more
strike votes. The clerks, signalmen and
stationery fremen are expected to add
their ballots to the others. The tela-
graphers are not expected to take a
strike vote Tomorrow s slash will not
cut any one class more than cents an
hour, it is said. and the general aver
age is thought to be lower.

A LOST LAKE.
Body of Water in Nevada Has Almost
Completely Disappeared.

During comparatively recent geologic
time great lake flooded a number of the
valleys in northwestern Nevada. This
lake has now almost completely disap-
reared. but biologists have named it, in
its entirety. Lake LahontOn, in honor OF
Baron La Hontan. one of the early ex-
plOrers of the headwaters of the MisSis-
sippi At the time of its greatest expan-
sion, according to the United States
geological sarvey. department of the in
terror this ancient lake covered S.40O
square miles The deepest part of Lake
Lahonton. which was 500 feet deep. was
the site of the present Pyramid lake. one
of its remnants, so that its surface stood
about 500 feet above the surface of Pyra-
mid lake The ancient lake had no out
let except the one that led straight up, its
waters being dissipated entirely by eyap-
oration.
4 large area a few niles north of
Winncmucca, New. is covered with sand
dunes that were formed since Lake La
hontan disappeared These dunes are
fully 10 feet thick, and their sleeper
slopes are on the east side, indicating
that the whole vast field of sand is
slowly travelling eastward. The march
of this sand is irresistible and its pro-
gress has neceSsitated a number of
changes in the roads in the southern part
of Little Humboldt valley during recent
years. In some places in this region the
telegraph poles have been buried so deep
that they have to be Spliced in order to
keep the wires above the crests of the
sand dunes. The sand is of a light
creamy-yellow color and forms beauti-
fully curved ridges and waves that are
covered with an artistic fretwork of wind
ripples.
