Since stepping from his home of luxury at that time no trace of the lad has been found. The searchers have rejected a thory that the boy has been slain under circumstances similar to the Bobby Franks case in Chicago. Roshek was a studious lad of few intimates. Police, have learned, however. that he frequently played with an unkempt lad known as “Hunchback" Reilly, who also has disappeared. The rich boy seemed fascinated by ' Hunchback's" dirt, and in some quarters it is believed the two have aet out together.

MINS OF SEED CORN SHORTAGE I County Agent Busche Urges Farmers To Pick Seed At Once I (By L. M. Busche, County Agent) I There is practically no corn in Adams county which will be fit for seed’unless some special care is taken ot it. There is any amount of corn it it is picked now and dried care fully before cold weather arrives. . Torn does not necessarily- need to lie fully matured in order to make good i corn. If com which is “dented" is properly taken care of, it will make ! good seed. Corn picked now for seed should be placed on racks which will permit of the air circulating around each ear. No two ears should touch. Any farmer with a few spike nails and a few boards can make enough of such racks to hold all the corn he needs. These racks should be placed in a well-ventilated place, where the air can circulate through the corn. A better way, especially tor very immature corn, would be to make provisions for artificial heat to hasten the drying. All such corn should be Placed where it will not freeze before the time for freezing temperature arrives. Those who know are predicting anther seed corn shortage next spring similar to the one experienced in 191 S. here is not doubt but that many •lams county farmers will be paying large, prices for seed next spring. This condition is entirely uncalled for. “re is plenty of corn which will la e good seed, and it is unlikely ny farmer will have trouble finding r a real effort is made.

Indiana Supreme And Appellate Courts Open (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Oc t. 7.— The Indiana I Supreme and Appellate courts opened their fall terms here today with crowd ed dockets. In the Supreme court, 69 criminal cases have been filed since th- end of the May term, or during the court's summer vacation, Recording to Joel T. Baker, deputy clerk. Approximately seventy-five per cent of there are liquor cases, final de visions on many of which will affect the validity of the state prohibition law. This number of criminal cases is more than three times as many as were - on the docket of the Supreme court In 1918. the last year before prohibition, Baker said. He declared this crowded condition will have a tendency to greatly slow up the work of the court in its actlon on civil cases. L On the docket are appeals from four convicted murderers. They are John Shaw, negro, convicted in the Marion county criminal court for the murder of Helen Hager Welchel in Indianapolis last fall. The case caused quiff* a sensation in Indianapolis after the body of the young woman was found by the railroad tracks about three miles west of the city. Edward Barber and Joseph Parker were convicted for murder of Steve Kendall, in Terre Haute last winter following their alleged robbery of a filling station there. Kendall was a detective and is said to have been at-

—the Perfect Motor Oil For FORDS —an oil which serves a dual purpose: First: To lubricate the engine in Ford cars and trucks with all the efficiency for which the name “Polarine” stands today. Second: To lubricate effectively the Ford transmission, assuring smooth, quiet operation. This new, improved motor oil is made exclusively for Ford cars and trucks. It is called Cpolcrine “F” Do not confuse Polarine “F” with so-called “nonchatter” oils, which, in mosj; cases, afford cnly temporary relief. Polarine “F” is made and sold by the Standard Oil I Company (Indiana). I After exhaustive tests in the laboratory and on the I road, it comes to you with the unqualified recommendation of our Technical Staff. Polarine “F” builds up and maintains a stable I lubricating film on the transmission drum, a film which will hold up even under extreme pressure of the bands. > You can secure Polarine “F” at any Standard Oil service station and at most garages displaying the Polarine sign. It costs no more than other motor oils. Have your crank case drained today and fill with Polarine “F”, the Perfect Motor Oil for Fords. You will notice the difference immediately.
