The period of low prices and
small returns through which the
farming business has been passing,
has made farmers look more sharp
~ than ever to the outgo end OF
the business as well as for the in
come. The question Of paying the
taxes and interest in addition to
making a living mas become diff
cult and often impossible one to
solve, says T. ]. Dunnewald Of the
soil survey.
The sandy and sandy loan farms
have felt the strain the most and
the abandoned fields and deserted
buildings scattered about the sandy
portions Of Sank County are the
marks of the stress through which
the farming business has passed.
High taxes and low income put
many farms on the tax delinquent
lists.
Assessment Of farm land tax PUT
poses is a complicated business
based on many factors such as 10
cation, improvements, sales value.
etc. The basic value of farm,
however, is the productive capacity
Of the soil and soil which is capable
Of producing Is bu. Of oats should
not be taxed equally with soil pro-
ducing SO bu. Of oats per acre.
Soil maps are useful to assessors
in establishing the production value
Of land. These maps show the
proportions of good and poor soil
and assessments should take ac-
count Of the variation in soil on
each forty acre tract.
A good illustration consists Of
several forties of land owner by
Anton Ryczek and H. A. Berning III
Sec. 26, Town of Dellona. These
forties according to the owners, are
assessed as follows:
NW-SEH, Assessed value, 2400;
Poor soil, acres; Fair soil, IS

Poor soil, rs acres; Fair soil, Is

Case One of Most SOr-
did in History of
Spring Green
UGLY BRUISES
ON TINY THROAT
Attempts to Leave
Spring Green Satur-
day Night After
Giving Bir t h to
Child

Fife Radel, 26, charged with
first degree murder of her new
born child, was brought to Bara-
boo from Spring Green on Mon
day afternoon and placed in the
county Jail.
The case is one of the most
sordid in the history Of Spring
Green and people at that place are
much aroused over the matter. At
an inquest conducted at that Will
age on Monday afternoon by Dig
trict Attorney Fl. J. Bohn and
County Coroner Dr.. F. e. Tryon,
the courtroom was crowded to ca
pacity, many standing outside to
await the verdict of the coroner's
jury.
These who composed the jury
were Joe F. McGinsley, Ben Ben
ny, viii Ellington, Henry Barts,
Gus E. Erikson, and E. B. Hutson
and their verdict was that the
child met it's death "by strangu-
lation and exposure at the hands
of Eff1e Radel."
The home Of Miss Radel is in
RichIand Center and it is said
that this is the third child born
to her which has died in infancy.
Shortly after coming to Spring
Green, she approached the owner
Of a maternity hospital asking ad-
mittance. Questioning revealed
the fact that she had made no pre-
paration for the child, and she is
quoted as saying that she would
need no clothes for it as her bah
les always died anyhow.
Denied admittance to the hospit-
al, Miss Radel obtained room
over the Shrieve's restaurant and
here the child was born on Fri
day morning, Dec. 5. Mrs. Anna
Hood of the village was summon
ed to care for the mother and baby
and on entering the room during
the morning, she stated she
found the mother with her hands
on the child's throat. She became
suspicious and removed the baby
to her own home and there it
died, Friday afternoon. Ugly
bruises on the tiny throat were
used as evidence at the inquest,
as was also the testimony of Mrs.
Hood.
On Saturday night, after giving
birth to the child, Miss Radel at
tempted to leave Spring Green.
She walked two or three miles
through the mud before she was
overtaken by a deputy sheriff and
returned to the village.
According to those who have
been with the girl, she seems to
feel little remorse or anxiety over
the affair. News of her baby's
death she received with a shrug
of her shoulders and her attitude
is one of the deplorable features
Of the case.
Before Justice II. L. Halsted
this afternoon a hearing of the
case was adjourned until later
date.

CORN RECOVERS
 RECENT LOSSES osS Upward Swing Carries Prices z Cents Above
 Days Low

CHICAGO, August 27.-Corn occupied the spotlight on the board of trade to- day, unfavorable crop reports giving the market an upward swing, which at one time carried values around 7c above the low for the day and the December delivery going 12Hc over Mondays low point. The close was strong at a net gain of Sc to 4Ac. Wheat finished 1c to 1hc up, with September at $1.21h O sf21A and December at $1.2601. 1.2sh. Oats rose Nc to 1hc and provisions ad- vanced 15c to 35c. fS
 Starting easier in sympathy with the break in wheat, corn recovered rapidly on receipt of continued bullish crop reports from interior points. The mar ket as a whole was broad and some stop-loss orders in the new deliveries were caught on the way up. Commis- sion houses and individuals were active buyers and offerings became scarce. Shortly before the finish, however, profit-taking set in and caused a re- action.
 Wheat averaged higher in sympathy with corn and on removal of hedges against export sales, the latter being re- ported as quite liberal. Southwesterns of wheat were not as large as of late, there being a tendency to advance ask ing prices. Early weakness in wheat was. quickly offset by the action of corn, the market reversing its course. There was a decided change in senti- ment in some quarters, with a belief that the decline had been sufficient for the time being.
 Oats were steady on reports of good demand for ocean room, which sug- gested export business.
 Provisions strengthened with corn and on scattered selling, despite a decline In hog values.

COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, August 27.-Llverpool was again stronger this morning, our market following the improvement, and upon publication of the weekly weather report advanced over the 25c level for October. Reports of heavy showers in central Texas brough free selling fol- lowing a sharp reaction of the mar ket. The trade generally continues to be very pessimistic. They are confident that the crop is large and that present prices cannot be maintained. On the other hand, advices from the south in- dicate that the dterioration since August IS has been very marked, not, only in Texas but in other parts of the belt. We believe that this will be reflected in the next government report, which will be issued on Sept. 8, and that in the meantime there is sufficient trade demand on any decline to prevent any material break. As the trade has made up it's mind that the crop Is around 13,- 100000 bales, any reduction in crop ideas will tend to advance the market, as there is a large short interest, only part of which has been covered since the government report of last week. Liverpool futures are due tomorrow: October, 1S.s2d, and December, 1365d.- Hubbard Bros. & Co.

 crate Recovery

NEW YORK, August 27.--Bond prices steadieA today as selling pressure was lifted nom the market, enabling highs. priced railroad. and other investment, securities to score moderate recovery from their recent depression. Trading. however, continued in light yofumes with activities eentered in compara-.. lively few .issuss.
 Although the reaction of the past week has carried bond prices consider- ably below the 1924 top levels, leading investment authorities today expressed the opinion that the interruption to the upward trend was only temporary and that conditions for the flotation of new issues were no less favorable
 With directors of the St. Paul rafIss road due to consider refunding problems at their next meeting tomorrow, trad. ing interest continued lively in the roads bonds. Toward the close of the market, the per cent bonds maturing next year broke SA points and the con- vertible 41ks point. Most of the other active rail issues recorded fractional. gains. |;
 Erratic fluctuations marked dealings in Wilson G Go. issues, with the ap- polntment of friendly receivers for the company aiding tho recovery Of the bonds. At the close, the first 6s were. more than a point higher and the con- verttble Hens about a point lower.s 4 reversal of the position held earlier in the day when the convertible 6s rallied three points.
 Application of the Florida East Coast Railway to sell $15,000,0O0 s per cent bonds probably will be followed by an early offering, although bankers fndi-s cated 1t would await at least informal approval by the interstate commerceT commission.

COTTON LOSES
 A TO 50 POINTS Early Advance Is Met By Increased Offerings,
 Bringing Drop

NEW YORK, August 27.-A further advance In the cotton market during to- days early trading met increased offer ings. After selling at 24.72c for Decem- Der, or 27 points net higher. and nearly a cent above Mondays low level, the net lower. The general market closed easy at net declines of A to 50 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 to IS points on continued covering promoted by relatively steady cables and private reports of crop de- terioration in Texas and parts of Geor- gia. Buying became a little more &C., tive after publication of the weekly re- port of the weather bureau saying rain as needed in the south, sufficient to end prices up to 25.15c for October and 24.65c for January, or P to 27 points net higher on the active positions, At this. level, representing recoveries Of about 90 to 110 points from recent low prices, the buying tapered off and the market broke during the afternoon ow- ing to the detailed weather reports showing rains or showers in Texas, in- ciuding some In central Texas, where moisture was needed most. There also were reports of an easing spot basis in the south accompanied by southern selling here, believed to be in the way of hedging, and the market broke rath- CT easily, touching 24.40c for october snd 23.95c for January in late trading. Last prices were at the lowest.
 Private cables attributed the steadi- ness in Liverpool to buying by trade and American interests on the unfay- crable Texts weather and fair spot demand.

N. O. COTTON

: NEW ORLEANS, August 27.-The cotton market after scoring fairly good gain during the first half of the morning of $1.50 a bale mainly on bet ter cables than due and continued stream of deterioration reports receiv- ed from the interior, turned easier on reported rains in the west, short and hedge selling and finally on reports of a lower spot basis, both in the Texas and the Atlantic coast markets. As a result all of the early gain was lost and final results showed net net losses of $2 bale on the active trading months.
 In the early trading, after opening 2i to 27 points higher, prices made fur ther gains until october traded as high as 2l.e5c and December at 24.40c, or 2e to 31 points above the close of yes terday, The reaction of the second half of the session carried October down to g soc and December to 23.7oc or 70 to 75 points below the highs of the morn ing. The close, which was virtually at inc lowest levels of the day, showed net losses of 70 to 42 points.
 The Improvement in Liverpool was attributed to unfavorable crop news from this side of the Atlantic ana the improvement of trade in Manchesler' which led to more active trade calling. Az a result of the better Liverpool the market here had good opening ana prices were sustained by numerous re norfs from the interior describing the rapId deterioration of the crop. The advance was further encouraged py bone dry weather map and an olLlclai forecast of continued fair weather

STOCK VALUES
 CONTINUE SAG Net Losses Small As Pro- fessiOnal Bears Alt
 tack Specialties

NEW YORK, August 27.-Stock prices drifted irregularly lower today when professional bear traders renewed their attacks against certain specialties. With relatively few exceptions, net losses were small. Trading was restricted in volume because of the absence of many large operators over the Labor Day holiday.
 Opening prices were firm on buying undoubtedly influenced by the French senate's approval of the London agree ment on the Dawes plan and the en- couraging resume of the business sit- uation by Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation. The weekly steel trade reviews also testi- fled to the improvement in that indus try.
 Unfavorable dividend rumors con- tinued to play a part in the days pro- ceedings. Declaration of a quarterly dividend of $1 on the common stock of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company, instead of the usual pay n1ent of SIPS, was not known until late in the session. Chandler was hammefed down to a new low at 39% on reports that the annual rate would be reduced from $6 to $4 at the next meeting, but 1t rallied later to 41. A break of 5% points in National Enameling preferred to 70, the years low, raised the question of the safety of that dividend
 Erratic fluctuations took place in American Can, which opened at 134, advanced to 1853, broke 3h points and then moved mp to 131& for net loss of 1A. Other pivotal industries showed only nominal changes. United States Steel common sold above 110 at one time, but closed unchanged at 10sH.
 Hign-prIced industrials were In rather free supply during the late trading. General Electric broke from 27S to 269l4, closing slightly above the low, for a net loss of 3%. National Lead dropped from 161 to 153 and then rallied to 154 off 5; United Fruit, Union. Tank Car, International Business Machines, Sloss- Sheffield Steel, May Department Stores and Famous Players recorded losses of two to six points.
 Independent strength was shown by several issues, new 1924 highs being recorded by Cuba Cane Sugar preferred, International Railways of Central America, Fleischmann company, Jordan Motor, Foundation company and Inter- national Telephone, the last named showing an extreme gain of six points in response to reports that it had re- ceived a contract to reorganize the Spanish telephone systems. Other strong spots included Crucible Steel, General American Tank Car and Amer tcan Water Works
 Rails were mixed, with good gains being recorded by Rutland preferred and Pittsburg and Virginia preferred.
 Call money ruled unchanged at 2 per cent. Time money and commercial paper rates were steady, with business quiet.
 Foreign exchanges moved slightly higher, demand sterling ruling around $44S9s and French francs around 5.42c
