an effort to keep the body con-
cealed beneath the surface Of the

Magistrate Bradshaw said the man
was about 5 feet 8 inches tall, wore
no shoes, had sandy hair and had
on dark trousers, a dark vest and
q light shirt.
Staying Apparent
The man appeared to have been
between IS and so years old.
DR.. Stout said it was apparent
that the man had been slain be
fore his body was thrown into the
water.
The handbag about the neck Of
the man contained havey auto.
mobile jack, a machinist'S ham,
mer, two can openers, q woman'S
handbag, the latter containing a
metal tea strainer.
This metal weighed down the
head, Magistrate Bradshaw said,

parently been in the water for

Higher Living Standards
Exist Now On The Farms

Field surveys conducted by the
Electric Water System Council indi-
cate that these systems do more than
any other single piece of equipment
to improve rural living standards.
Since 1888, the farmer has shown
an increasing inclination for electric
water systems. Where $1,000 rural
homes were provided with them that
year, 77,00O were installed in 1884.
In 1885 and 1896, installations totaled
10000 and 1877 1000 respectively, and
it is anticipated that the present year
will see at least 100000 homes pro-
vided adequately with running water
for the first time, by means of cleo
trio systems.
The installations of system OBJ
viously marks long step forward in
the improvement Of living standards
on the farm. But that is not the end
Of the systems usefulness. Usually a
water plant is the first electric appli-
ance farmer purchases. This leads
to wider understanding Of electric
ity's usefulness both in the farm
home and on the farm itself-for op-
Grating cutters, grinders and other
machinery; and for lighting, cooking,
refrigeration and many other house
hold tasks. The surveys show that al
most three times as many electric
ranges and more than twice as many
electric refrigerators are in use in
homes with electric water systems as
in homes without them. And homes
with these systems consume 81 per
cent more current for household pur-
poses than other electrified farm
homes.

little in return for the services they
render, Rush said, yet they can be
of considerable assistance in produc-
ing healthy clean crops, free from
insects and noxious weeds.
With the exception of relatively
few game preserves, wildlife is con-
fined to farm lands and depends on
them for food, shelter, and nesting
sites.
At practically no cost, and by de-
voting small amount of his time to
wildlife assistance, Rush pointed
OFT, the farmer can make havens
for wildlife on fields now idle and
severely eroded.
Lespedeza provides good food and
cover for quail. In cutting lespedeza
Rush recommends that small strip
: left along the side Of the field or
if possible, several strips throughout
Y large field.
The farmer may disk up broom
sedge field or any abandoned land
giving suitable wild plants chance
to grow. BY allowing wild shrubs tc
grow along fence rows, field Dor
ders, and in pastures, the farmers is
furnishing a permanent home fo1
birds, Rush continued.
The farmer will receive three-fold
dividends from his investments
since birds destroy harmful insects
and certain noxious WEEDS; they are
, source of pleasure in hunting and
may provide source of income fol-
the farmer who leases hunting
rights; and they afford personal
pleasure from growing a good crop
