while seeking to capture game poachers

returning today from the northern border
without success. Word was received
that they had been unable to tlnd the two
officials. or locate their bodies because of
the snow, now several feet deep
When they left here, they planned to
search in the vicinity of Abacotnet Bog
where the wardens were last seen alive
and the territory along the Quebec bound

riyeu.
Alexander johnson. father of one oi
the wardens and thoroughly familiar
with that whole section through years of
trapping and hunting there. does not
agree with many woodsmen in the belief
that they were killed by poachers. Before
leaving this week to join in the search
he expressed the belief that the- are alive
and active in their search and eventually
will return with their prisoners.
He believes they gave a wrong destina
ton to mislead friends of the poachers
when they were last seen where the
woods trail branched in four directions
within - miles of the border. These
lead to the bog on the norln Orancn o
the St John. where they said they were

WASHINGTON Dec 21.-The
American farmer has demonstrated that
when properly financed he can weather
the worst economic storms, the war
finance corporation declared in its an
nual report sent to congress today. The
report set forth that IL per cent of the
money advanced to the agricultural in
dustry had been repaid either in advance
of maturity or when due
Advances by the corporation saved
the industry many millions of dollars
the report declared, explaining that the
corporations officers believed its actiy-
ity had proved as beneficial in the restor-
alton of confidence as in the actual
pouring of cash into spots where credit
was tightest. The loans had made il
possible for thousands of farmers Il
handle their products in an orderly
fashion, il was added and the confidence
fnstilled in them through the knowledge
that money was available acted as a sta

said could only be estimated.

 q don't think British women sue ceed in making the best of them selves, as the American women do, in every way" said Miss Fraser.

ILLINOIS TREASURER
 GETS ODD REQUEST

MARION, ,Ill., June 12. - County Treasurer Edward M. Heaton is a most accommodating person and will do anything within the bounds of req son for the public, but he wants it clearly understood that he is no mind reader.
 The reason for Heaton's announce ment is the following letter from a nonresident Marion property owner a woman, by the way:
 q own lot in Marion, on the east side, I think Anyway it is in the di- rection of the I. c. depot, in rela- lively new addition. Will you please send me a statement of the amount of tax on this lot, as wish to pay it now"
 Despite his professed lack of clair voyant power Heaton succeeded in To- eating the lot.
