FARMINGToN-workin on a trail 10 hours old,
of the county and state today sought
to solve the mystery killing of man known as ED
die" Harlow, st. Paul
Harlow's body was found seated at the wheel of
his small with half dozen wounds in it. Neigh
bors living near crossroad between Pennington
and Castle Rock, where the body was found, re-
membered hearing shots last night but said they
thought they were produced by automobile backhr-
ing.
Harlow was believed to be liquor runner. His
automobile was loaded with alcohol and moonshine
whiskey. Marks in the road indicated Harlow's
cutors had crowded his to the side of the road
before killing him.
Because none of the bullets went wide of the
mark it believed the killers had opened the door
of the liquor runners and fired point blank.
Irving p Jones, of the state bureau of crime
apprehension and Sheriff j. j Dunn, Dakota county,
were in charge of the investigation.

appraiser for the Wisconsin annuity board found

LITCHFTELD-During the present time many
Meeker county farmers making arrangements to
kill their hogs and cut, cure and can the product
in palatable form. Hogs are unusually cheap at
the present time while pork products still remain
quite high and therefore, the farmers are making
big saving by making their own products.
The home curing of pork is an old practice. How
ever for number of years the art was nearly lost
as people thought it much more convenient to
buy the pork products they needed. At the present
time home curing is again becoming popular.
Home cured pork, fresh canned pork, sausage,
head cheese picked pigs feet and lard offer variety
products be used in the daily meals These pro-
ducts are highly nutritious and palatable and are
easily made, cured and prepared in many different
ways.
A bulletin may be obtained from the Meeker
county agents office covering the curing, canning
and preparing of the pork in variety of delicious
meat products.
