We always leave this home feeling
that we have had an intellectual
feast. We returned to the Noyes
home to transact some business. We
got along much better the second
than the first night. The first night
we had so many quilts on our bed
we could hardly turn over Mr.. and
Mrs. Noyes are our ideals of what
it means to be Christians. Looking
after the aged and sick. Mrs. Noyes
went Friday to the home of her sis
ter Mrs. Davy Wainwright, near
Deavertown, who is ill. At the
Wells home we were shown a tax
receipt of 1847, on 80 acres of land,
owned by Simkin Brown, grandfath-
er of Mrs. Wells, but now owned by
Fletcher Lyons, wherein the valua
tion was 1929. Tax for the year
s5.36 Also note as follows: Nov.
1884. Twelve months after date,
we, the trustees of Mt. Carmel
meeting house, promise to pay Wal
ter Graham, on order, $72, for val
ue received, with interest at $50

as noted on the back Another note
held by Mr.. Brown for 500, had
but one payment, 1881 II in tai
low. Mrs. Wells informed us that
her cousin Heber Tennent, son of
the late William and Mary Brown
Tennent, former Meigsville resi-
dents, who has been seeing the U.
S., from Canada to the gulf, is now
at Valasco, Tex, on the Brazos
river. Mr.. Tennent is an expert
bee man, and is taking care of so
hives of bees spread along so miles.
He makes his trips in a motor boat
And at this time he is harvesting
honey. At the George Stegnef
home we were shown some blue
plates that we believe are called
willow ware.
AS we write this Monday, we are
on the sick list to such an extent
that we can't start on our pilgrim
age.

Finley packing plant. A lot of Nor
gan county folks have no idea of the
business done here. The plant was
spic and span. We noticed about a
bushel of wieners, fresh. We are in

will have some cooked. At the
Clair White home we found Clair

AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES
Information on r.. IL. Testing

Word comes from the state vet
erinarian department at Columbus,
that the department will be unable
to start the testing of Morgan coun-
ty cattle before spring. The demand
for the work in all sections of the
state is SO great that the department
is hard pressed to get the work done
as quickly as they would like to.
Some of the cattle owners have
objected to having the work start in
the same season with shearing and
corn planting, and it looks now as if
the veterinarians would get in the
county about that time. The de-
partment is willing to delay the
work until summer, if it seems to be
the wish of the majority of cattle
owners to thus delay. Cattle own
ers who have a preference as to
when the work will be done, are
asked to stop in at the county
agents office or send in word stat
ing such time preference. The ma
jority will rule, provided, of course.
in at the time the majority desig-
nate.
The state department was kind
enough to send veterinarian into
the county this week to test the
herds of cattle in Marion township
from which milk is going into Ath-
ems Had the state not done this
those herd owners would have lost
the premium being paid for milk
from tested cows or would have had
to test at their own expense.
Many Poultrymen Sign Up
The response from the enrolment
cards recently sent to poultrymen in
the Grown Healthy Pullet" prof.
ect starting in the county, has been
encouraging. Cards began to be re-
turned last week, and within four
days over rs poultrymen had sign
ed, representing a total of 25,500
baby chicks which they expect to
brood within the next four months.
Under the best of care and man
agement, great many of these
chicks will die before they are Is
weeks old, but a great many more OF
them would die, that can and will
be saved, by these poultrymen fol-
lowing the directions for their care
and management, which they will
receive at no cost, as cooperatOr
in this project.
All persons expecting to brood
baby chicks are urged to enroll in
this project Immediately. If you

Quarrel of Rivals
In Concession Game
Is Fatal to Three
Continued from page one)

STEMS body. the last n found,
was discovered by four st. Paul youths
while driving along the road in a
truck. The body of Coleman and the
unidentified dead man were found
last night by General Rhinow who
vas touring the district with an agent
after receiving reports that Chicago
gangsters were gathering at cottages
at White Bear.
George Bugs" Moran, Chicago
gangleader. has been reported .as
spending some, time there recently.
Have Several Theories
Coleman was alive but unconscious
and he died later in a st. Paul hos
pital. He was about Is years old and
had been associated with what police
said was a notorious gambler in Kan
sas City. A cashiers check drawn
for $4,000 on the Union Central Bank
e. Trust company of Chicago was
found in his pocket and payable to
"A. Myers"
The finding OF the gasoline and
the bodies in such proximity led po-
lice to suspect the slayers planned to
burn their victims In their own auto
mobile.
In STEMS pockets also was found a
fake prohibition agent badge.
William Mike. deputy sheriff living
near the scene of the shooting. said
his two young daughters heard shots
about 1890 p. m.. yesterday but Didn't
pay any attention to them.
Police advanced several thee les as
possible motives for the killing; that
the dead men were attempting to
work in on the slot machine racker In
Ramsey and Washington counties;
that they were implicated In the WI.-
mar bank robbery and were shot In a
dispute over a split Of the loot and
that rival beer runners killed them.
