' The child was found after the ran

blanket lying fast asleep ia an arroyo
near Onawa, a remote village 11
miles north at East Laa Vegaa.
The kidnapping waa one of the most
daring in the history of the country.
Four masked men entered the Rogers
home at midnight Wednesday and
pointing revolvers at Mrs. Rogers'
head, forced her to take tor baby from
his crib, dress hinr and deliver him to
them. They had evidently been watch
ing for thit opportunity for months
and ad taken advantage of the fact
that tor husband waa oat of the enty,
Mrs. Rogers offered the kidnappers
all tor jewels, all her auverware and
everything of value she tod if they
wouldn't take the childVbnt they re
fused and compelled tor to deliver the
baby.
As they left, the men handed Mrs.
Kogers a typewritten letter of in
strnctions. It informed her thai un
less she -had her brottor-inlaw, Will
Rogers, deliver to them near .Onawa
a package containing $12,000 In bills
by last midnight they wonkl kill the
child. The letter specified that the
money tent mngt not be in bills of
greater denomination than $10. - Mrs.
Rogers was to display a light at the
rear of tor home at 11 o'clock last
night if aha had decided to pay the
ransom,- ao that the kidnappers could
to on hand to receive it and return the
baby. . x-- -CV;;.

Imported Hay Causes Spread of a
Dangerous Grass.
Stanly Enterprise.
Farmers of this State have cause
to feel alarmed over the spread of a
very dangerous grass or weed known
"Common Soil." It grows on the
top of the ground, and resembles
what is known as plantain. It cov
ers the soil rapidly, and it is almost
impossible to raise small grain where
the weed grows.
Our. attention was called to the
matter by James A. Milton, of Route
2. Mr. Milton bae made a study of
the matter and had an analysis made
of the weed. He says the weed is
spread upon home soil through the
manure, and comes from the Western
baled hay. He asks the farmers of
Stanly county to make their own feed
as the time is coming when it will cost
the farmers of the county thousands
of dollars if the use of baled Western
hay is persisted in.
.This is. a subject calling for thor
ough investigation on part of the
Farmers' Union, and if Mr. Milton's
version is correct, immediate war on
this new grass should be made.
