year ago, met her husband and
the bride, he took during the sum-
mer.
A mantle of mystery was thrown
about the supposed death Of Mrs.
Packard and the body Of some
woman whose identity is still un-
determined was buried in the
Chester (Vt.) cemetery. The mis-
taken Identification was made by
the husband, George, from a note
and certain articles taken from
the body of the suicide.

dead woman" failed to recognize
her and. seeing them huddle by
their father, she burst into tears.
The second wife was bewildered
at knowing she is not the legal
consort of the man she married.
Plans were being made, how
ever, for the care Of the two
children. and the first wife prob
ably will grant her husband a
divorce in order that he may
legally marry the woman with
whom he wishes to live.

RAINS To HELP

Is States, Many on Border Of
Arid Area, May Be Given
Assistance by U. S. Board

The weather man today raised
new hope that rain will prevent
further drought loss while Fed
eral and State agencies were
swinging into action to repair
the enormous damage already
done.
A new series of showers was
spreading over the fertile central
and southern States which have
borne the brunt Of the long dry
spell. -.
Coming after spotted, temp
orary relief has been afforded
by showers, Weather Bureau Of
ficials see the possibility Of re-
vived pastures and saving Of late
crops from complete destruction.
Mr.. Hoover today awaited def
mite requests from governors Of
several States on the fringe OF
the drought ,aFeas g4s
Inquiries at the ls:te House
indicated that formal requests
would be forthcoming.
The relief plan may be ex-
panded to include 16 States.
Many Others Hit
While the Department Of Agri-
culture attempted to define
limits Of the hardeSt-hit areas as
a basis for the Presidential plan,
it is admitted many bad situa-
tionS exist in States not repre-
sented at the governors con-
ference.
The full story Of the drought
has not yet been told in Southern
States. Unfavorable weather, it
is said. may necessitate relief
action being taken in at least
three Southern States which hope
to solve their own problems.
The first complaint of lack
of an invitation from the Presi-
dent came from Governor Ritchie
of Maryland.
The White House replied that
reports showed some counties in
Maryland badly affected, but not
sufficient to create Statewide
problem.
Maryland, however, will be wei
coined in the fold.
Twelve governors originally
were invited to cooperate, and
Tennessee was later included on
reuest of Governor Horton.
With President Hoover at his
Rapidan River camp for the week
end, Federal drought relief plans
were being carried forward by agri-
cultural agencies in conference
with representatives Of national
farm organizations.

A Washington scientist, DR.. E.

farmers how to multiply their
apple crop 400 per cent and their
cherry production 1,100 per cent,

Sechrist is just back from a
trip to Grand Rapids, Muskegon
and other Michigan points.
The scheme consists in station
ing a hive Of bees under a small
