NATIONWIDE
HUNT ENDS

Youth Tells Of Strange
Influence Exerted by
Aged Companion.

A nationwide search for a 20-year-
old Ohio University student ended in
San Antonio Saturday when Con-
stable Duke Carver placed a 60-year-
old man in Jail OH a technical charge
of vagrancy and rescued the youth.
The boy will be held here, pending the
arrival of his parents.
To Constable Carver the youth I'M
folded a strange story.
He had just finished high school, he
said, and was preparing to enter the
University of Ohio. He made the ac-
quaintance of the man, who was well
dressed and apparently wealthy.
SEARCH BEGUN.
As the acquaintance grew, the youth
said. the man developed a strange in
fluence over him. For a year and a
half he took him from town to town,
sometimes staying. in the best hotels
and again at tourist camps.
Meanwhile the father started a
search which extended to every state
in the Union. He wired police de-
partments and state reformatories,
but without success.
Recently the two appeared in San
Antonio and stopped at a downtown
hotel.
Friday they gave up their room and
moved to the tourist camp, purchasing
an automobile preparatory to trip
to the Pacific coast. 1t was then that
Constable Carver recognized the two

shares of stock yesterday and
brokers, homeward vending their
weary way shortly after 3 p. m, had
watched stocks crawling up to new
high prices, led by the industrial
shares, with money easy" If you
wanted it for speculation.
Keep out of stock gambling, it will
ruin anybody. But. whatever you
do, don't be foolish enough to sell
any genuine enterprises in this coun-
try short. If you own any stock that
represents real value, KEEP it. n
IT has been suggested here occa-
! sionally, during the past ten years,
that architects should have their
minds on landing roofs for flying
machines. Now Chicago, about to
build $15,OO0,000 postoffice. two
city blocks long, with a landing roof
for the flying mail. That would cut
an hour off. the mail flight from Chi
cage to New York. New York in
time will initiate Chicago and have
postoffice landing here.
Not far in the future will come the
new city, one building devoted to one
single business, with landing roof for
buyers and sellers, and employees fly
ing to work in the morning and fly
ing back at night.
The great "congested traffic prob
lem" may be solved from the roof be-
fore it is solved in the streets.
However, don't let that discourage
you about good real estate.

She was buried with Ku Klux

The ranges are not heavily stocked
and many ranchers will hold for in

The condition of sheep, 90 per cent,
now exceeds the 50 per cent reported

claimed that they had been using
the "red arrow" sign on it's adver-
Using matter and had built up a
valuable good will in which the
use of this distinctive mark plays
an important part.
The plaintiffs; represented by Al
