prolong your life You could prolong
that, you know. by boarding with, some
farmer instead of buying farm. You
would expect to farm for profit. would

"Of course, and. although l haven't

Duluth, Mimi. March 26.-George
j. Mallory of Duluth and Frank Thufts

marshals, have returned from the
Lake Of the Woods country, where

sons charged with timber trespass on
government land
John Bardley of Bardley & Son,
loggers Of Brandon, Man., Is one Of
the men arrested. His son Walter
was arrested, but was released on bail,
and 1t is said he Is somewhere in Can
ada and did not appear for the hear
ing. The son Is charged with perjury

William Taylor was among those

Frank Merriam, ex-auditor of state,
appeared before the joint legislative
committee on retrenchment~ and re-
form late yesterday afternoon and
admitted that he had charged mile
age for each separate examination of
eastern insurance companies, even
tho one trip covered several examina-
tions. The law recognizes this GUS

Mr. Merriam admitted to the COM
mittee that his charges had been ex-
cessive, but nothing that resulted in
putting money in his own pocket.
It seems clear that the committee can
do nothing with him in the face of
his admissions, and while there may
be a report censuring him, no legal
action will be taken.
The senate has passed the bill pro-
viding a penalty of 500 for the dock
ing Of horses tails in this state. The
measure is thru both houses and will
become law.
The bill giving the city Of Des
Moines power to construct leves and
to do other work looking to the pro-
lection of the city from further
floods has passed both houses.
The senate has passed a bill In
creasing the penalty for the receiv-
