John G. Lonsdale Young Girl Killed; Mystery Surrounds Washington, April 12.?The slayer of Mary Baker, 28-yeur-old government clerk whose bullet-pierced body was found face downward in a culvert beside Arlington national cemetery today, wan the object of hunts tonight by Washington and Virginia police. Described b> friends as not "the type of girl to run around," she was last seen alive last night by Ines Eyre. They had attended a church meeting. ,, Alarm was felt when she failed to return to her home in Lyon Village, Virginia, just across the Potomac river. Early this morning her automobile was found stained with blood and abandoned near Arlington, Virginia. Then began another search, which . >1 to the discovery of her body at on by Arlington county p0lice. 1 hree quarters of a mile from the Jloinobile, it lay in the mouth of he culvert until 2 p. m., awaiting Jollification. County Coroner BI! Swain said marks on the throat nowed a struggle had occurred be* -rr- deat h. Mildred Sperry and Olga Skinner, ho shared the tiny Lyon Village use w th Miss Baker, were ques..hud b> WiLiani C. Gloth, county iri.-ecutin-' attorney. After (..living information from '.win, i.e ordered'a hunt for a man, i\ing hv ite wanted to question i.. m, Taken t-? tne culvert by (iloth, Miss >Kinner identified her slain frieml. A slender blonde, Miss Baker was the daughter of the Kev. Thomas I'. Baker, an Episcopal minister of Oak Grove, Virginia, 'JO miles from Washington. She had many friends at the Navy department, where for eight \ears -he had been employed. Are We Too Indifferent? Perhaps we should ask, "Are we too selfishly self-centered ? " Every now and then someone of our personal friends and acquaintances shocks the community by ending his life with a shot or otherwise. Such incidents cause a profound shock not i.nly upon the families of the victims hut-upon friends and acquaintances end whole communities. "To bad; such a pity; I never thought of such a thing happening to him," arc among the comments following such incidents. A suicide?the self-taking of one's life?seems so very unnecessary under almost any circumstances that t^e shock produced by such incidents are widespread, j Perhaps it would be well for all of [ u- to lake .-t<>( k of ourselves and see ! if we. you and the other fellows who a i acquaintances and friends of the I victim are not in a way partly Ve| sponsible.

Hi> mi; Ik1 and doubtless an honorable, clean, upright cit'7.cn upon whose character there is r.ot a blot or blemish. He is above reproach in his personal conduct. Ha has always stood ready to respond to every call made upon him for community uplift and betterment; but as a business man he has just not boci the knack of making good. He has seen his business dwindle away; be is unable to meet his obligations; he begins to brood and worry oyer these conditions as -honest men will. Hays of brooding and worry while trying to see a way out?an honorable way?no other will satisfy.

King, of Bethune, owns one of the finest flocks of poultry vn Kershaw county. They are selected birds and produce very larg" Mr. King takes excellent care of his birds. Recently Mr. King brought to I County Agent Green a few dozen | eggs from this flock of Black Minoriias. So impressed was County Agent Green that he took them over t<. the Iodine Store on DeKalb street a:.d wtth the a>Mstance of the store manag- r weighed the eggs and found that they weighed 28 oz. per dozen without the container. Then some ordinary eggs in the store were weighed and found to be only 20 oz. per dozen. The ordinary eggs sold for 10c per dozen or 2c per ounce. If eggs are worth 2c per oz. then Mr. King's eggs would be worth 66c or 16c per dozen more than ordinary eggs. Eggs should be sold by weight. If customers could buy Mr. King's eggs at 60c when ordinary eggs were selling at '10c the consumer would be saving 6c per dozen since Mr. King's eggs are worth 10c more per dozen thap ordinary eggs at 2c per ounce. The Iodine Styre will probably have some of Mr. King's eggs on sale. Consumers should look for the cost per ounce and producers should look towards producing large eggs. Recently the U. S. Government had a world-record hen on its dairy and poultry farm at Beltsville, Md. This hen layed .enough eggs to become world famous?but the Government agents killed the hen?because her eggs were not up to the Government j ??.v standard of 22 ounces per dozen. Sav? hens that lay the large eggs and use these for hatching. , County Agent Croon recently in spd^ted Mr. King's flock and reports V that they are one of the finest flocks f he has seen. !
