SLEUTH PLAYED BOTH ENDS
Chicago Detective Lived With Woman
He Had Been Hired by Husband
to Find.

Chicago.-The story Of a detective
living with the wife Of a man who had
sent him out to find her was told by
DR.. Sebastian Becker of Chicago, who
says the sleuth presented expense &C
counts which supported the couple
when they were paid. A warrant has
been worn out for the arrest Of Ray
w. Smedley, the detective.
Becker's wife disappeared several
weeks ago, her husband says, and
Smedley came to him offering to find
the missing woman. There began then,
the doctor says, what he thought was
a nationwide search. Bills were re-
ceived from all parts Of the country.
Becker became disguised when he
had spent 5000 in the hunt, he says,
and put another detective on the Job.
This man found the detective and
Becker's wife living together in Chi
cago. They had been forcing Becker
to support them. Smedley has disap-
peared.

Grandpa Chittenden was a Civil wal

years old, and Grandma eighty-tve.
Illfield was not the place that one

the style. Some folks might like it, of
course, but, frankly, we Hayneses and

because we had been born there, and
we were too poor to move away.

the West of today, with its thrilling

MOTOR RECKLESSNESS KILLS
MANY

During the year 1921, 81 persons
were killed and 283 injured in grade
crossing accidents in the six western
states served by the Southern Pacific
Company, according to a report made
public by R. J. Clancy, assistant to
the general manager.
This is a slight relative increase
over the casualties for 1920, despite
the safety campaign TO the Company
Clancy in his report, shows however
that had it not been for the tragedy
of Proberta, CAL, where 10 high school
students were killed, the number OF
fatalities for 1921, correlated to the
number of registered automobiles and
locomotive miles for this year, would
have shown a decrease of about II
per cent.
In 1856 instances instead of being
struck by trains, the automobiles ran
into trains, primarily the result OF
approaching crossings at a speed so
great that braking power was not suf-
ficient to stop automobiles before hit
ting the trains, resulting in four ia
t~alities and SO injuries.
In IS instances crossing gates low-
cred to protect them from trains were
run through and broken, and in eight
instances crossing flagmen, warning
autoists of approaching trains were
run down and injured.

Potatoes can be planted by hand and
sorted by hand. Plant no more pota-
toes than you are absolutely sure you
can care for in the best way you know
how.
BECAUSE, only marketable pota-
tos can be sold and it takes carr to
produce a high grade marketable po-
tato. Seed is scarce and high priced,
another reason to be conservative.

reason a slow and conservative pro.

the project. For the best results and
satisfaction think twice about your
acreage and make it low. Lets have
the large acreage but a lot of signers.
"Good land with lots of organic mat
ter is necessary for potatoes. Not
any old land will raise the best high
grade of marketable potatoes. For
the first year pick out the best piece
of land you have, a piece of summer
fallow or sandy loan valley land.
"Then our motto for the potato pro-
ject will be large numbers Of COOP
orators with small individual acreage,
and this on the best available lanu,
and to 60 slow on the purchase Of
machinery"

thoroughly established. Use what ma
chinery is already on the farm for the
first year or so until a good crop is
assured. A hand planter will cost
two or three dollars and planting 1k
to 10 acres a day is a much safer in
vestment than 500 planter. Let US
not pay too much for our potato edu-
cation. l believe that to go slow and
be conservative is a good motto in this
project as we'll as in any other. Lets
not gamble our all on this one crop.
