Potatoes Are Stolen

j. Friedman, 154 Clinton street, re-
ported to the police this morning that
some time during the past two days
some had broken into car standing
on the Michigan Central tracks at
Calumet avenue and stolen seventeen
sacks of potatoes.
Friedman has not the least idea who
the thieves are and the police are
working on the case in hopes that some
clew may be learned which will lead
to the arrest of the guilty parties. 1t
is thought that somebody drove up to
the car with wagon and helped them
selves to seventeen sacks of tubers.

an old story to them and instead of
the reports coming in about every two
months it is getting so that the box is
now being broken into every three on
four weeks.
II is simple matter to enter one of
the telephone boxes, as all that is used
is a small jimmy of some kind which
is used to pry open the bottom of the
box and the money will fall out.
The police are looking for a slick
looking negro whom they have under
suspicion. and if they can locate him
they are positive they will have the
guilty party.

ing Mary Pora in her suit for divorce
from John Pora, asks for $4,000 ali

married Oct. 10, 1906, at Crown Point
and to have been separated Dec. 9

We also expect to publish an article about it
shortly from the pen of Mr. Henry E. Litchford

How to Do Your Part in Ending Disgrace

an utterly worthless concoction.
He pretends to give away valuable book when
II is really lying piece of quack literature that
man should be ashamed to be caught taking Into
his home as free gift.
Again throughout the advertisement from be
ginning to end there is the continuously repeated
suggestion that great philanthropst, out OF great
wealth and great soul, is giving life and future
to help the afflicted when he is really fakir who
is disgrace to the human form.
And finally, the advertisement is worded in such
way as to make the poor ignorant sufferer De
