Melvin Schmitt Arrested for a Boyish
Prank Yesterday.
There were probably thousand boys,
more or less, yesterday engaged in the
essentially boyish but decidedly silly
and annoying practice of throwing hand
fuls of flour on one another, Just because
1t was All Fools Day. Sometimes they
varied the alleged sport by dumping the
flour on Cinnamon.
Nearly every boy one would meet had
his head or clothing spsttered with flour.
And out OF ali the boys in the city that
engaged in tue practice one poor little
fellow, Melvin Sch lit, was arrested and
charged with battery. He was with a
crowd of boys at the time, all of whom
were engaged in the same practice, but
he alone was seized by policeman and
taken to jail.
Did the Schmitt child hurl his -four
more odenslveIy than did the others, or
was no the only one that was unable to
outrun policeman?

EFFECT OF RIDICULE.

the effect OF bringing into greater prom

WHEAT AND HOGS.
Riverside Press.1

There is hope that the farmers may
find lines of work that may restore the
profit in cereals. Experiments in differ
ent parts of the country appear to have
settled the fact that wheat fed to hogs is
thus made to bring about seventy cents
per bushel. II still pays to raise that
crop, therefore, even if the world is not
willing to pay over forty cents per bushel
for it as an article of human diet.

evening by local talent under the aus

Hurley Library Association, was
complete success. The well-hlled house
which greeted the actors seemed to
give them confidence in their ability to
..act well their parts" and stranger
dropping in would have SAID that the
performance was far above that genef-
ally given by travelling troupes. Each
and every one entered into the charact-
er which they represented, and the
frequent applause from the audience
gave evidence of the appreciation with
which the play was received. They
were all ..stars" and we trust they will
at some future date give us another
show. The entertainment netted S29.25
for the library fund.
