Wanted to Trade Boy
For Girl. AS She Would
Have Smaller Appetite

PORT HURON, Mich. Feb. "a
Since Sheriff Davidson has been In
ONCE no has received many peculiar
requests from st. Clair county resi-
dents. but an incident OF a few days
ago IL the best OF all. 4
Mrs, Chas! Beeler, ST.. Of the Wood
en- Track. who. before her marriage re-
Gently. was Mrs Nina Troyer. asked
IL her daughter. Nina Troyer. aged 5
years, could not be brought back from
the school at Coldwater. and at the
same time have her husbands grand
son, Edward Beeler, aged years. sent
70 the reform school. The boy has
been living with Mr.. and Mrs. Beeler.
Sheriff Davidson, OF course, denied
the woman's request, but he was
dumfounded and unable 10 explain
why she wanted 10 make the trade.
The explanation came when the hus.
band visited the jail later He. said
that he and Mrs. Beeler had figured 1t
out that the girl would eat less than
the boy, and would be OF more help
around the house. Neither realized
that there was reason for sending
the girl away and that the boy had
done nothing TO warrant his being
taken from the county.
