Where is Your Daughter Today? While crossing the bridge at Randolph Sunday we noticed a half dozen boys in swimming a little ways below the bridge and they were in a perfectly nude condition.

Just aboe the bridge were several girls of about the ssame age, 12 to 1G, who were intently watching the boys. Ru-havev been heard of the same thing happening here in our lo-calitf. Fathers and mothers, this A County Demonstration Agent. Manhattan, Kans. One duty of the county demonstraton agent is to keep a list of all the persons in the county who have pure bred cattle or hogs or chickens for sale, or who have a few bushels of clean, desirable seed for sale.

If a farmer has only ten bushels of seed it will hardly pay him to advertise it, but if 'the county agent has the names of forty or fifty men who have ten bushelsl each, he can aford to advertise the fact. E. J. Macey, county demon strator agent for Montgomery county, prepared a very god seed list for his county last spring, and this list was used all over over southeast Kansas. At a recent meeting of the comercial clubs of southeast Kansas, Mr.

Perkins of Oswego said that he did not know what the men county would have done without' the Mongomery County Farm Bureau seed list. So many farmers used the list he had in his office, he said, that he was forced to have tt frnm-, eel to keep it from getting worn out and torn to pieces. 0 If you have a cow, a hog, buggy, or anything to sell, you can tell a lot of people about it with a litte 23c ad in the Star and if there are any buyers in reach youw ill hear from them.

Charles Hall. Boy Dragged By' Auto Raymond, Samuelson who is about eight years old, along with a lot of other boys has been in the habit of stealing auto rides by hanging on the rear end or standing on the steps of the car and ride a ways as the car was leaving town. Accidents have been expected long before this and the boys have been warned long before this of the clanger. Friday night, as Dr. Schuman started to leave town in his car Raymond was standing on the step of the car and the doctor asked him to get off but the boy gave no heed and the doctor got in his car and started off in a hurry thinking that the boy would get off as usual.

When Raymond made the big jump, his pant leg caught on a bolt, throwing the boy under the car and he was dragged along in front of the car forabout twenty feet before the doctor could stop the car. Had the boy's pant gave way, many who saw it say that his life would have been crrushed out of him. When the cat- was stopped the boy was picked up lenderly and carried upstairs to his home and on examination it was found that he was suffering from a nervous scare only and in a few minutes was out on the streetplaying a-gain. A few who claim to have been eye witnesses to the accident say that the boy'shead was dragging along in front of the rear wheel about six inches and expected any minute to see him run over.
