So many things of more or less
value accumulate in the children's
playroom that it keeps us busy weed

Yet these men, who are SO honest with other peoples
money, are not fair enough to give their wives one single
penny of the money they earn by working fourteen hours n
day for them and their children. 1 have seen the wives of
these men Inundated into the dust because they did not
have a n extra nickel with which to pay a friends street-car
fare, or a quarter with which to treat the women to soda
water VINO were always buying soda water for them. I have
seen these women cringe with fear, like a beaten dog. when
they had to present the monthly bills to their husbands. L

durance when they went like mendicants to their husbands

Burning of John Shows BODY
Remains Mystery to Maine
Authorities

Damariscotte, Maine, Dec. 26. -
The burning of John Shows body
yesterday in the home Of three OF
the five persons whom he shot and
killed last Saturday remained a
mystery today so far as the ident-
ity Of those who participated In the
affair was concerned. The county
authorities after putting back in
the lonely farm grave the charred
bones taken from the ruins in
Jefferson were nOn-cOmm.ittal as to
whether they would pursue AN ac-
tive inquiry who was responsible.
Barred from the village cemetery
Shows body had been buried on
the farm adjoining the cottage
where his wife, her aunt and her
grandmother had lived and where
he killed them and himself after
driving from Whitefield, a few
miles away where he had shot the
wife and son Of Deputy Sheriff
JeWett.
Long before daylight yesterday
the casket was dug up, the cover
pried off and the body taken to the
cottage. Apparently kerosene was
sprinkled about and the house set
on fire. It was several hours later
that the authorities were notified
and found the grave empty and the
bones of the slayer in the ashes
where the house had stood.

FIRST CAR LOAD OF SHELLED
CORN SENT FROM BURLEICH CO.

Some farmers complain they have

corn picked as they have paid from

in Iowa and other of the so called
corn states, the charge has been on
ly and cents per bushel for pick

here than there.
"This means that eventually, when
our farmers can get better buildings
and better facilities for handling
their stock, that instead of shipping
in grass fed cattle to be fattened by
farmers in Iowa and Illinois, that we
can fatten our own cattle here and
instead Of getting from 3 to 6 cents
per pound for them, we can get
from to II cents and make the

are making; it means more milking,
more hogs, more poultry and other
