Chestly Of Galesburg and Leona HaS-
strom of Wataga, H., girls Of about
II years of age, were taken in by the
police Saturday night and were held
at the house of detention while their
parents were notified of their arrests
here. During the larger part of the
evening Night Desk Sergeant James
Cannon endeavored to locate the par
ents of the two youthful Grants and
finally succeeded in notifying the
families over long distance wire. The
girls are to be returned to their homes.
From the story which was told after
they were brought TO the station, t
appears that the girls were slightly
acquainted with each other and as the
two home towns of the girls were only
eight miles apart they visited fra

when the HagstPorn girl was in Gales

Stop Wheat Thefts. - For having
been implicated in the theft of quaint
ties of wheat from the cars Of the
Rock Island road during the past sew
eral weeks, three young boys, George
Johnson, George Bruhn and Vern Mad
den were brought before Justice Rod
dewtg and Johnson was given sen
tence of 80 days in the county jail
while Bruhn and Madden were each
let off with a sentence Of five days.
1t appeared that Johnson was the ring
leader in the thefts and the other two
boys only his assistants. On the
charge of having received the stolen
wheat Theodore Meyer, R H Nolan
and John Helfrich were arrested. They
stated that the grain had been bought
under the impression that it was the
sweepings from the cars and did not
know that it had been stolen. Not
withstanding this assertion Meyer was
fined $40 and Nolan and Helfrich each
were ordered 10 pay So to the Rock
Island to cover the loss of the grain.
The so fine imposed upon Meyer went
for the same purpose.

Manaqinu a Husband.

Men are like children; they want
managing, although you must never
let them dream that you think 20. No
child likes to be ordered about, no
man will endure coercion. But man
aging! 1t is an art 81 subtle, so elu-
sive, that few women understand even
the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let
us reason together, says Woman's
Life. In every human being there Is
q spark Of the divine; it Is yours to
fan that spark into a fame-that is
managing a man-it is to get the very
best out of him there is to have, and
not two women in ten can do 1t.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing a man-to
bring out the best is a high vocation.
Only let us see to it that we are
worthy Of it. There are women who
have made angels Of men, but at the
cost Of their own divinity. There is
room for more than one unselfsh per
son In a family.

Disheartened Among Strangers

Plankinton-The authorities Of Au-
rora county have been called upon
to care for a German giving his
name as John Steflin, who attempted
to commit suicide by cutting his
throat with a knife. Stefin had been
travelling through the country with a
small shack, built upon an old buggy
running gear, in which he carried a
KIT OF harness makers tools, and en-
deavOred to make a living doing re-
pair work. A farmer, near WHO'S
home he had camped for the nj ut,
not observing any stir about the wag-
on, went to it and found the &c man
nearly dead from loss of blood. In ad-
dition to cutting his threat he had
cut two frightful gashes in his head.
Stefin gives his age as 36, and states
he came to the United States in 1901.
He further stated that he had no
home and no relatives In Amer ca,
He had no money. He attempted to
take his own life when he rea lied his
desperate condition.

IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Very Like Real Vets
In Miniature

Sioux Falls-Colonel A. S. Frost has
been requested by Washington peo-
pie to start the boy scout movement
in South Dakota. The method of de-
veloping the boy scouts in a state is
for ten men to take out a charter
from the head Offices at Washington,
then this body of ten men called a
state committee, grants charters to
county organizations and the couI-
ties organize companies.
Each company is composed of ten
patrols and each patrol is composed
of ten men. Each county first organ
ICES one patrol and the number is IN
limited.
The movement is intended to keep
learn them to scout, cook, camp out,
observe the things about them and
develop a strong physique.
The scouts are clothed in khaki
uniform, consisting of coats, trou-
sers, caps, haversacks, etc. all for
1926. 1t is a cheap way for parents
to clOthe children in summer.
Colonel Frost is just starting the
movement and IT Is probable that a
public meeting will be called in the
les future in Sioux Falls to discuss
it.
The work is carried on under COM
petent instructors. 1t is nOn-Fectar-
ian throwing the rich and the poor
together, and tending to make the men
of the future more democratic. as
well as strong and healthy. The
course in many respects is similar to
the regular military training.
It is beng rapidly taken up in the
east, and especially in England. 1t
originated as a result of the poor
showing the British soldiers made
during the Boer war. They were ut
terly helpless as a result Of knowing
nothing of the line Of work the boy
scout movement teaches.

COMMERCE COMMISSION
Jobbers' Committee From Duluth In
form of Grievance

Flandreau-The commissioners nave
just finished holding a session here
which was attended by a dele
cation representing the JobLers
Freight Traffic association of Duluth,
MIN, who desire to act in conjunc-
ton with the South Dakota state rail-
way commission in the matter of pre-
senting South Dakota's compla mt, as
to freight rates, before the inter tate
commerce commission, when the re-
quest for lower freight rates in South
Dakota is presented to that tri4 unal.
The action of the Duluth commit tee
amounts to a former protest against
an advance in freight rates upon
grain, which protest the South Dako-
Ia commission is asked to embody in
its presentation of the case of this
state to the interstate commission.
From Vermillion the South Dakota
commission will go to Sioux City and
give the Sioux City grain merchants a
hear ng, on the same subject, upon
which the Duluth people were hea d.
The Sioux City grain interests, which
are making an effort to build them
selves up, desire also to protest
against an advance in the ra,es Oh
grain.
From Sioux City the commissioners
will go to Aberdeen, where they will
give testimony before the special eX-
aminer of the interstate commerca
commission, who will meet them
there, upon the freight rate sjtuat on
in South Dakota, and where they will
attend the meeting of the South Ia
kota Grain Dealers association, which
occurs on the 18th of the month.
