The body was found late Thursday afternoon. It was hardy more than a skelton. A negro truckman, pushing his way through thick brush of the Sour- lands—not five miles from the Lind­ bergh estate, made the discovery. The police were called and identi­ fication was confirmed. Discovery of the child’s Skelton, was made by William Alien, Negro truckman. His truck, driving the Hopewell—Mount. Rose Highway, had halted, and Allen- had left it to enter the woods. Brush and un­ derbrush blocked his path. He stop­ ped and pushed it aside. Buried Under Layer of Leaves Beneath the brush, underneath a layer of rotting leaves lay the body of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., only child of Anne, daughter of the late Senator Dwight Morrow and Charles Lindbergh. Clinging to the decomposed body was weather-worn flannel that had kept the baby warm that night of March 1 when his nurse tucked him into his crib. These shreds of baby clothing were identification enough; these, and the matted, curly blonde hair. Compound Fracture of the Skull A compound fracture of the skull caused death. The murder evident­ ly was done very soon after the kid­ napping, probably within an hoar. A mad man apparently, muscled either by a intense hatred or an overpowering fear, struck the child dead. Physicians described it as a '‘terrific” blow. No. weapon was found. There was added possibility the baby bad been hurled violently from a motor car. .State Police in New Jersey, who have been in direct charge of the search for the baby since the night, 713 days ago, when the voice of Col. Lind'bergh, over a telephone said, “My baby has been kidnapped,” made the identification of the body. A physician added confirmation. Later .Miss Betty Gow, the baby’s nurse, said she was quite certain- the body was that of the Lindbergh child. Mother Bears Up Well The parents themselves remained completely in the background while their greatest tragedy was 'being written in black headlines around the world. Mrs. Lindbergh and her mother, Mrs. Dwight Morrow, were at the Hopewell estate. Col. Lndbergh was absent, engaged in the baby hunt with Curtis, the Norfolk “in­ termediary.” He returned early in the morning, 'Close friends said Mrs. Lindbergh, who is preparing for another baby in the late summer, had accepted the news with her “usual equan- rnity.” News Carried to the World Running through the brush-grown land, and passing within 75 feet of the baby’s burial place is a tele­ phone wire. It was strung hurried­ ly, to carry to the world news of the baby hunt—and its excited mes­ sages of hope, of new clues, of im­ minent discovereries passed hardly more than whisper distance from the object of the hunt. The spot where the body was found is thick grown scrub. A. J. CLATWORTHY Phone 12 GRANTON. ONTARIO A flea and an elephant walked side by side over a little bridge.

They were told to move on or to move out some time ago, ** ** **** We have heard of some farmers who are making a little money, Their secret? What they do with their leisure and the way they guard their overhead. ******* * And now the hint is broadly given that about eighty-two of the members of the legislature are to stay at .home. It would make interesting reading to learn what these men did last winter to earn their money. *♦***♦*.* These are the days for every man to get his ship onto an even keel. No crows are in sight bearing prosperity to any man. Neith­ er are there any wolves gifted with the power of taking away from prudent the results of hard work and of hard thought. ******* * NO ILLUSIONS Let us have no illusions in regard to the financial situation. True Britain has done great things in balancing her budget. But it is quite as true that hei’ finance minister tells the nation that her back, in that regard, is still to the wall and that she has days of the sternest struggle ahead of her if she is to get on at all finan­ cially, ‘Time, some men in high business places are talking of a possible improvement in finances, this fall.t In the same breath, these men warn against rosy hopes or anything but the most close­ ly reasoned or thoroughly-chastened optimism. Days, months, years'of “eat it up, wear it out, make it do” coupled with hard, careful planning and hard work are likely to ibe the' lot of the average man. But that's the way to prosperity—and its price. ******** WHY ? Why is it that the farmer is made the goat of so many cir­ cumstances? Just now there is a big cry of “Barth to the land ” Yet there is no scarcity of farm products. The farmer is quite up with his city cousins when it comes to keeping his market well supplied. While granaries and fruit houses and the storehouses where can­ ned vegetables are preserved against the day of want are filled to the peak, some city folfc are insisting that the folk in. the city who are out of jobs should hie them back to the land, there to make it still harder for the farmer who has lived on the land all his life to get on at all. Why do not those well-meaning city and town folk who are so eager to have folk support themselves do some­ thing to. stir up prosperity at the city manufacturers expense^rather than at the cost of the farmer, For instance, what would the merchants of any considerable town or village or city think of a bunch of farmers who opened a store to sell the goods these merchants already have on their shelves or are manufacturing, meanwhile employing the discharged help of these merchants, all .under .the plea of relieving the prevailing financial distress? Yet merchants and manufacturers who lodk to the farmer to buy their goods are making it difficult for the farmer to sell his produce! Folk who are eager to help the unemployed should not exercise their benevolence at other people’s expense. There are two sides to a story. Farmers are not blind. ******** WHY SO SILENT We heai’ surprisingly little these days about the plans Canada purposes working by at the approaching Economic Conference to be held in Ottawa this summer. We hear about some committees being appointed but we hear precious little of what principles are , guiding the thoughts of the men who are to represent us at that fateful event. Especially silent are the farmers and the represen- atives of the farmers as the days of the Conference make so near an approach. All this is to the bad. As those decisive days draw near serious minded men realize that only workable plans well worked will avail anything as the leading men of other portions of the Empire sit in to discuss ways and means of continuing and of augmenting the prestige of the Empire. What is to be feared that some of the men who meet there will proceed on the methods of the horse jockey of unsavoury memory. It looks as if many of the representatives are likely to meet each concealing carefully from all the others just what he desires and what lie has to offer. .Such bargaining spirit is sure to defeat the purposes of the gathering. Unless each part of the Empire"prove to all the others sitting in a willingness to put into the Conference at least as much as he takes*out, the Conference had better not convene. Any nation whose representative talks with his tongue in his cheek is a traitor to the Empire. It is high time that the taxpayers of this country knew what the various parts of the Empire and what the various interested classes are looking for from the Conference and what they are prepared to offer. Yet this is the very information that is, so far, in the possession of a very select few. For this spirit to con­ tinue is for the Conference to come to nothing, as far as prosperity or progress are concerned. ******* * THE LINDBERGH BABY Every heart in America bleeds for Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh. Few people ever have won more completely the esteem and the hearty good will of the Anglo Saxon race than have these young people who never were- guilty of any graver offence than that of 'minding their own business or of doing well the duties as­ signed them. When the claw of the underworld seized their child every home in Christendom sympathized with the amazed and stricken parents for each father and mother saw that what was done in despite of the Lindberghs was an earnest of the foul deed contemplated by the underworld against any hearth in the American continent. For this reason every Anglo Sakon looked to the government of the United States to take up the challenge of the criminal class of the American Republic, Every one who loves peace and order expected that the United States would comb every foot of land in the Republic before the underworld would be allowed to say, “We respect neither age nor sex when we can make money by murder, by arson or by child theft.” Well, the Republic has fallen down completely. It stands hat in hand before the thugs and thieves and blackguards within its borders, The police force of the United States when backed by the army and navy of the Republic and supported by three quar­ ters of the gold in the world and led by Congress and all the rest of the elleged government of that country stand up before the world and say to the rowdies of their land, “Carry on as you like, We simply cannot protect a baby in his cradle nor have wo the sikill to catch the thief who stole, though more than three score and ten days’ opportunity be given us.” Our one desire runs in one of two directions—to secure money that we don’t know how to invest Of to win elections and then to watch our homes being desolated and our balbies murdrod, While memory lasts and his­ tory is read the disgrace of the United States in connection With the Lindberghs will cry to heaven because of its gross incompet­ ency and its heartless immorality* stamps you a careful driver. ‘If 11 Afy Pledge as a Member of ths Silver foam Safety League l AGREE 1 To drir* »t *p**da M koapiag with tho •afoty of other**! wall ** myaolf. 3 To koop on tb* right aid* of th* rotd, oxaapt whao pauiag. * To paaa only whan I know them it aaplo Unto nod tpaao—wayar o* blind turrea or whan nearing th* or**t of * hill, 4 To go through iatorwoUoM only who* 1 hay* tfat right of way. • To obaorro ■!! traMo aigaala, 4 To giro •lgMh*ty*«U that «tn boot Mrfy **M tad aadontood, byforo turning nr alopplag intmft*. 1 To driya only whan !■ fall poMpsUoa of ay facultiaa. • To knap my brake*, light,, and horn in good condition, ‘ 9 To operr.t* my tar oa tiro* which auuro a M*itivo grip on the |*a4—1*1* traction— and frotdom from haz­ ardous tiro failur**.
