WHY % BOYS LEAvE:THE FARM !?

WHY 20 BOYS LEAVE THE FARM !?
Because the father looks on the boy
as he does on his live stock. He ilg-
ures how mucn he can get out OF
him before he runs away, or Is ~.
He takes no interest in the boys
plans or sport. He works the boy six
days and let's him hunt or fish on the
seventh. He let's the boy smoke and
chew because he does so himself, and
thinks It very indulgent. He doesn't
see to it that the boy has proper
amount of spending money and
spends 1t in q proper way. The boy
wears his best suit TIL the sleeves
will reach only to his elbows. The
boy doesn't like all this, and then
the chances come, and It always does,
the boy leaves the farm.

trict in the case Of the State of NORTH
Dakota VS. Joseph Peltier, accused OF
the murder u Anton seidel, country
storekeeper in Bottineau county and
his daughter.
Peltier and younger brother and
Little Rising Sun, an Indian, murder
ed the father and daughter and then
burned the store building. Little
Rising Sun turned states evidence
at the trial and the Peltiers were
sentenced to death. The state pard
oninG board cOmmuted the younger
Peltiers sentence to life umprison-
msnt. Young Peltier was only boy
and that was the main reason for tae
communication. Joe Peltier carried
the case to the supreme court and the
decision was reversed on the grounds
that it rests entirely with the jury
as to whether the punishment TO.
murder shall be hanging or life impri-
sOnment, and Goss in his charge to
the jury instructed them as TO why
they should bring in verdict OF
guilty and impose a sentence .ot
death. Ut is expected that Peltier
will plead guilty at the next trial and
be let off with q lite sentence.
