CHRONOLOGY
AND THE GIRL
By DON AID LIE


1t was generally known that during
mis- last ten years on the bench Judge
Vance made a close study of criminol-
ogy and administered justice &C
cordingly. 1t came to be said that
he could tell criminal clear across
to retire he said to his daughter
Gladys:
My girl, you should have a fad to
keep you busy. You don't take to
music or painting. You don't care
to go on the stage. You have said
nothing of botany or bugs. Take UP
criminology."
But l shall never be a Judge or po-
liceman." was the reply.
"Of course not, but fads are good
things sometimes. Study the human
head and you learn nature. have
book of drawings of all sorts of
heads. Look it over and impress them
on your mind. Should tramp call
you, you want to know whether he
was a good or bad tramp. Should a
stranger apply for the place of gar
dener you should be able to tell
whether he is an honest man Or a
rogue. You make az :raintanc2s
among your sex. You should be able
to pick out the hypocrites and liars
Thus, at IS, Gladys Vance be-
came a student of criminology; at
10 she was prepared to tell mur-
derer whenever she saw him. She
had studied the heads in her fathers
hook, That is, she had locked at
Them in q listless way half dozen
times in the year, and the remainder
Of the time had looked at something
else. She had never even looked at
a living head with al idea Of analyz-

time was coming, however.

for her train for home. On one side
of her sat an old man with carpet
bag at his feet; on the other young
man who was pretending to read a
newspaper, but looking at her from
the tail of his eye. 1t suddenly came
into the girls mind to apply her
chronological tests, and she unused
to herself:
Here is an old man as innocent

Then she took few SLY glances at

Just then her train was called and
she rose up and passed out. The
young man raised his head for a

aisle. The old man with the carpet

minutes later Miss Gladys came
rushing back to look at the empty

He had often said that if women
would appeal to the law oftener
there would be far less rascality
The pats didn't come as expected.
The father looked at the case from a
legal standpoint.
How could he take your purse
from your hand? If you left 1t on
the seat you also left the old man
there An old woman says she was
suspicious of the young man. He
may have been the same Of her The
purse was not found on him. He had
not left the depot. Gladys, you have
no case
But, father, he had criminal
head. He is certainly a thief" she
protested. But for the head l might
not have pushed the case"
Bring me my book. Now show me

Here it is to a dot" she replied
as she laid her finger on one. Yes
1t might be his very head"
But that's the head of a poet who
was arrested for sitting on the fence
and gazing at the moon! Gladys
we'll be stuck for $4,000 dam
ages"
But that wasn't all The maid came
back from visit to the front door
and said that an old man wanted to
see the girl who lived there He was
admitted and recognized as the old
man with the carpet-bag. He slowly
removed his cap and held out the
missing purse and said

It may be that when he went away

Papers Served on Justice Nav

Papers have been served on
Justice n. w. May notifying him
to appear before Judge Hughes at
the county seat on Wednesday,
December Goth, to show cause why
he should not be prohibited from
holding Justices court in the city
of Philip. The action is the result
of proceedings brought about by
our City Justice of the Peace,
William Brandon, who holds that
Justice May is trespassiog on his
rights as city justice and has no
right to hold bis office within the
city limits of Philip and outside
of the township in which he was
elected. The fact that Mr.. Bran
don gives bonds for $500, while
Mr.. May is only required to give
a 5000 bond, is indicative that the
intent of the law is as Mr.. Bran
don contends and that Justice May
has no right to hold court outside
of the jurisdiction of his own
township.

BIG PROJECT TOO EXPENSIVE
1t Would Cost over Sixteen Mil.
lions of Dollars to Develop
Power at Little
Bend

The preliminary observational
report of Westinghouse, Church,
Kerr & Co., the engineers employ
ed by Hugh. Stanley and Sulley
Counties to examine the Little
Bend power and irrigation pro-
ject with view to it's practicability,
is at hand, the gist of which is
that the proposition is practical
from a physical engineering stand
point, but that it will cost too
much to construct to be profitable.
The report in detail showed that
the lands to be irrigated were
located at an altitude of about 400
feet above the river, and in extent
were limited only by the amount
of water available. Special men
ton was made of the Fort Bennett
fiat near the mouth of the Chey-
enne with $4,000 and, the large
fiat above Fort Pierre with 5000
to 10000 acres available. Both
lie low along the stream.
The report showed that the dis
charge of the Missouri at Pierre
was about 10000 cubic feet per
second. At Little Bend it is
possible to create fall of water of
ii feet. 1t has been previously
supposed that a greater fall could
be secured but the report shows
that while the difference in the
surface of the water at either end
is fifteen and one-half feet that
one and one. half feet would be
lost by the slope of the water
through the cut. The head Of 10,
600 cubic feet per second falling
IA feet would create approximate
ly $4,000 horsepower, or sufficient
power to pump 200 cubic feet per
second to a heighth of 400 feet.
This would amount to 144,8 800
acre feet annually, but allowing
for evaporation and loss it would
furnish power enough for irri-
eating Ga, 900 acres.
To make channel sufficient to
divert 10000 cubic feet per second

you can see more clearl v to pluck
the mote out of thy brothers eye.
When l came to Philip last week
and visited most of the merchants
and feed stores, to my surprise all
of these dealers had in large
stock of -four from Minneapolis,
Candy, Huron and Watertown,
which they seemed to be pushing.
Is this patronizing home industry?
A few enterprising business men
of Philip put their hands into their
pockets and hel ped to build this
mill and elevator, as fine as any in
the state, and a good miller has
been making this -four and it is
selling at ten cents per sack cheap
er than other brands that have to
be shipped in. The women are
not objecting to Stand Pat flour
but the merchants are not pushing
it enough.
In discussing this question, on
the corner, one corporation lover
remarked what are you oldsoddies
kicking about?'. We are selling
the best flour on the market and
at a fair price" | said, my
dear sir we are not kicking at the
quality or price but we object to
your trying to put out of commits
sion an industry that we farmers
are depending on for a market.
The prospects are fine for a
good crop of fall wheat; hence we
should all pull together and keep
our industries going, so as to have
a good market here next fell.

Patronize Home Industry

There has been good deal said
about patronizing home industry
and we farmers are brought over
the Goals if we send an order to
the catalogue houses when our
home merchants or manufacturers
will sell us as good merchandise
and cheaper than outsiders freight
cOnsidered.) We are told that the
money sent out of town never
returns but goes into the Golfers
of trusts and big corporations and
the home merchants and manu-
facturers are left to hold the sack.
This is true and the merchant is
justified in making a kick if we
farmers send away for goods that
can be duplicated by our business
men in prices and quality, and our
motto in the future should be PA
tronize Home Industries" We
should help our merchants and
manufacturers in their respective
callings. This will build up our
town; the farmer will have a good
market for his produce and every
thing will be much better for both.
Now Mr.. Merchant, we farmers
are not the only transgressors.

beam out of thine own eye SO that

whether it is his country he is
fighting for, or the protection of
the treasures of the bloated mil
lionaires, who incite war that their
pockets may bul ge still further
with the spoils of the fight. Let
the monkey kings and their sons,
shoulder a musket and take their
place on the firing line, where
bayonets flash, swords CLEAN and

let no money consideration save
their precious necks; then will
there be no more war.
