President Roosevelt has picked UP u

All Of this has not altered q

BRIEFS

The way OF the independent ~
hard. An independent dairy from
Bridgeport has been purchasing
milk from farmers In South Brit
ain, Roxbury, and Bridgewater;
paying for 0 larger percentage OF
fluid milk than the-combine. The
farmers ore satisfied and 30 ex-
press their opinion, but the milk
commissioner ID not. Charges OF
various assumed violations OF the
regulations governing the sale OF
milk are fled against the inde-
pendent, pressure ID brought TO
bear on the farmers, and gradual"

Ing for milk ID 90 involved and
complicated that scarcely one
farmer In ten has any Idea what
his milk check may be. All he

Poultrymen are lucky. EggS are
classified only by weight and
freshness. II the chicken-raisers
ever reach that unhappy state OF
control that oil dairymen have 10
contend with, they will probably
discover that eggs are classified as

oil other eggs, including those
thrown at ham actors, would fall

OFFICERS SEARCH
FOR BODY Of
MISSING MAN
John Cox Disappeared One Year
Ago; Thought To Have Been
Killed and Hidden In Cave

Sheriff A. A. Fleming, deputy
Dallas Mullins and Nick Anderson
met the sheriff of Pike County,
KY, Sunday at Osborne Gap on
the Cumberlands to conduct a
search for the body of John Cox,
year ago, and who it is thought
who disappeared more than a
has been killed and hidden away
somewhere on the north side of
the mountain.
The search, according to one Of
the party, resulted in the finding
of a body, but not that Of the
missing man.
The spot in particular where
relatives thought the body might
have been hidden was a deep
cave or hole in the mountainside,
sometimes called ''the bloWhole."
A rope was taken along and Dali
las Mullins was first let down
into the hole but was drawn up
because he feared the rope would
break, as it was saving against a
jagged rock on the side of the
cave. Next boy, much lighter in
weight was let down. On nearing
the bottom, reported to those
above that a strong odor was pres
ent. When the bottom was reach
ed, he found a room Of forty foot
or more, spreading out each way,
and empty, with the exception of
the dead body of an o'possum
that had fallen in and died Of
hunger.
The mystery of what has be-
come of John Cox is still mys-
terry. But the people of that sec
ton are convinced that he died,
as he often said he wanted to do,
with his boots on and that the
body is hidden away somewhere
in the mountains where he spent
his entire life.
