HOLYOKE MAN MISSING.
j. ID. Frat Disappears After Automobile
Accident-Said to Be Well Insured

HOLYOKE. Mass, Jan. 24-The dis
appearance of Julius d. Frat of Mt. Tom,
driver of the automobile which crashed
into the second level canal wall near
Sargent street Friday night, became
more battling than ever yesterday when
reports We're received by the local police
that he was heavily insured. \ report
emanating from Northampton was to
the effect that Frat carried $4,000 worth
of insurance and about $4,000 of this
amount had been recently taken out.
1t is understood that all of the insur-
ance carries the double indemnity
clause which means that if the insured
meets an accidental death that the
amount of the insurance is doubled.
The police are confronted by three
theories. one that Frat fell into the
canal while trying to push his car from
the wall, another that he committed sui
eide and the third that the accident was
framed and that he voluntarily disap-
pcared for reasons best known to him
self.
Frat : relatives believe that he was
the victim of foul play.
Peace societies. for the prevention of
war, were first established in England
in 1916.

Farmers in Ohio, have found an effec-
tive way to get rid of rats. When they
have a pest hunt" they find the rat
hole, attach hose to the exhaust pipe
of an automobile and start the engine.
Any occupant of that hole that is not
asphyxiated before he knows what mas
happened to him promptly makes his
appearance and is shot, his dazed son
dition making him an easy mark.

is likely to be. SO there is really no
problem.
Iowa State college, investigating the
situation in it's state, reports that not
more than two per cent of the farmers
are burning any corn at all, and it is I'M
likely that more than 100000 bushels
fit for human consumption or for mar
keting in any form have been burnt so
far. That is only one-eighth of one Der
cent of Iowa's corn production.
Iowa is the biggest corn state, and one
of the states where the coal problem has
been most difficult. 1t seems doubtful
whether all of the edible corn burnt for
fuel in all the states this winter viii
amount to more than a few million bu-
shells And let it be remembered that
the corn crop for the United States last
year was 3,1S5, $4,000 bushels.
