A practical joke by some of the
boys down at the Clarinda Poultry,
Butter and Egg plant last Thursday,
came very near causing tragedy
that evening at the home of c..
D. Beaman, who is employed at the
plant. 1t seems that the boys had
been joking Mr.. Beaman about one
of the girls employed at the plant
and a photograph of the girl was
slipped into his dinner pail, and when
he returned home in the evening the
photo was found by his wife. Be-
coming greatly excited over the pic
ture Mrs. Beaman swallowed several
tablets which she thought we're pois-
onous, and then told her husband
what she had done. Mr.. Beaman ran
at once for physician and when he
arrived few minutes later found
Mrs. Beaman quite, sick, but not
serious. as the tablets which she
swallowed were only antiseptic tab
lets and not poisonous as she sup
posed.

Arrests are being made in Ottum-
wa of all persons holding government
liquor licenses, which according to
the new Iowa law, is prima facie evil
dence that the holder of the license
is a bootlegger, and he can be punish
ed accordingly under the state law.
No matter whether he is engaged at
the present time in selling liquor or
not, or whether he can be proven
guilty of having sold it in the past
if he has government license he can
be punished for Bookkeeping under
the new state law. All holders of
government licenses who are not &C
tually engaged in Bookkeeping had
better give up their licenses, or they
will find themselves in trouble-that
is, if the officers of the law do their
duty

At hearing at Humboldt day or
two ago Of several young boys accus-
ed Of entering and robbng house,
Judge Coyle Of the Fourteenth dis
trict of this state declared that the
amount Of juvenile crime in Iowa is
appalling. 1t is growing larger every
year, although the average citizen
seems to have no realization whatso-
ever of the seriousness of the situa-
ton. In Judge Coyle's view and it
is probably the correct one-the boys
parents are largely to blame and the
public schools and Sunday schools are
falling far short Of teaching some Of
the most important things of life.
