Though four months have passed
since the two harvest laborers were
murdered, presumably by being beat
en- over the heads with piece OF Il
cast iron pump handle for the money
that they carried upon their persons
and left covered with thin layer of
straw on the blankets in which they
are thought to have been asleep
when attacked, just at the outskirts
Of jamestown, no clue has rs yet
come to the authorities that would
help to identify the bodies.
Many Inquiries came and still
come asking for descriptions or pie
lures Of the murder victims and very
few of those making inquiry have
ever taken the trouble to notify the
authorities whether or not the per-
sons missing and for whom they in
quired have ever been found or
heard from. For this reason, Coun-
ty Attorney r. D. Chase has prepar-
cd circular, letter which will be for
warded to all of those who have
shown an interest, asking them to
notify his office whether or not miss
parties, had been located.

COMING YEAR
Sees Hope For Farmer if
More Progress Is Made In
DiversincatiOn
BY IRVING +. RUSH


President Of the New York State
Chamber Of Commerce
i New York, Jan. again the
beginning Of new year finds all
eyes centered upon Europe. The
conditions there are only better be-
cause they arc worse.
BY this mean that the people of
Europe apparently cannot learn any
thing except by bitter experience
There are some signs that their ex-
perience is becoming so bitter that
reasoning by hate may give way
to the process Of common sense.
The people Of Germany are being
purified by suffering and the gov
eminent of France is learning that
they cannot salvage civilization with
the saber. The acuteness Of the
present crisis is tS:et only evidence
that the end is in sight.
If reason is to have.a chance, the
opportunity must be soon and there
is evidence that international reason
will be called into play in Europe
before long.
Owning u
The occupation Of the Ruhr has
failed to produce anything but bank
fuptcy Of industry in Germany. This
is beginning to be realized even
in France and the press is filled
with intimations. that the French
government is seeking formula"
This merely means that they are
Z ~ I'll oh $kai,s
policy to one more in accordance
with the process of.rresson without
appearing to have changed their
policy.
The economic mills are grinding
on but it is becoming apparent that
this country can, under courageous
leadership, maintain prosperity with
conditions III Europe badly dis
turbed.
The summer Of 1923 saw a drastic
curtailment in many lines Of indes-
try. 1t was healthy blood-lcttfng
and the prospects for 1924 are better
today than they were six month ago
I do not look for anything in the
nature Of boom, but believe bust
ness conditions will continue steady,
with some improvement during the
first half Of 1924.
Hope for Farmer
That is rs far as anyone can look
ahead under present world condi-
tions.
While there is serious depression
among the one-crop farmers. of the
northwest. agriculture as a whole
will receive substantially more this
year than last. The farmer is learn
ing to diversity his crops and not to
depend too much upon staples the
price of which is determined by a
market outside Of the United States.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1924

The exporter has passed through
his worst period. The manufacturer
in most lines may look for an i'm
proving market.
The earnings of the railroads are
better and there seems to be- n
tendency to give them breathing
spell
We should learn a lesson from the
troubles of Europe. The difficulties
abroad are due primarily to incom-
petent political leadership Ignorant
men have been selected to high Of
flee, and the people are suffering
because they have been misled by
demagogues who promise the most
and produce the least.
The lesson to America is the ne
cessity for leadership
Amateurs
The amateur dealing with the
tools of craftsmanship, or Of indus
trial leadership, can be no more sue
cessful than the amateur attempting
to handle the tools of a
to handle The tools Of skilled work
man.
The conditions Of the country are
sound. Industry has been quite
thoroughly liquidated. The national
debt has been reduced. Finances
are improving
The danger signal is tendency
to select the wrong kind of men for
public office. There are demagogues
in both parties, and if they are elect
ed, all they can do is rock the boat.
If the voters of the United States
when they cast their ballots next
fall, will elect the men whom they
believe to be best qualified by char
acter and experience to maintain
the high standard of intelligence in
public life which has brought this
country from a small colony to the
greatest nation in the world, all will
be we'll. ~
