...past six years the farmers of northern Indiana have met to display the democratic vegetables that grow so lushly on their rich and mucky fields.

...years Ellis Parker, round, short, grey-haired and good-natured, has been a practicing detective in Mount Holly, N. J. (pop. 6,573). He has worked on about 300 cases, principally crimes of violence. According to Fletcher Pratt, "he is probably the best detective in America if not in the world." Last week Author Pratt, heretofore recognized as a historian (Ordeal by Fire), offered a volume containing accounts of twelve of Ellis Parker's more sensational successes.
