1t is very beautiful to see the buds
of womanhood arrdyed in the simplicity
of the graduation dress. adorned with
streaming ribbons and snowered with
fragrant bouquets. As they appear before
the audience they are a tabieau repre-

Not long ago we had little heart to

expressed themselves on different oc-

We could not refrain from asking their
purpose in life: 1t is well to here mention
the environments of their homes. Ihe
one raised in simple life, with mouse
full of brothers and sisters, was tired of
the monotony of duty, and her first

lice department. There was a whole
sale exodus from the city this morn
ing Of the lazy footed and hungry
tribe. He # h wanderlust was again
asked to seek other parts while the

ed twenty-five vags to the city limits
this morning and told them to "git"
and stay away. They were warned
that II they were seen, in the city after
this morning they would be shown no

the limit that a ".vag" can draw.
There were five that the police Judge

take them to the county bastile and

and the harvest will be harder to get
at.
The police intend to do all they can
to protect the people of the city while

be remembered, they say, that the city
will be full of thieves and pickpockets,
who will be on the lookout for houses
that are wholly deserted while their
owners are at the fair grounds. Extra
police will be put on during the fair
and the very strictest watch will be
kept. The police however cannot be

BOOT LEGGER ARRESTED
strommc of Larimore Arrested Under
Provisions of New Law Making
I~3oOtlegging Pen. Offense,

John Stromme of Larimore was
brought to this city today by Chief
of Police Dick Fadden Of Larimore
who arrested him on a charge of boot
Logging. Fadden had no trouble in
taking his man.
Stromme is the first man to be ar
rested in the county under the new
bo%otlegging law and faces a sentence
of from six months to one year in
the penitentiary, For the second Of
tense a very much severe sentence is
imposed. 1t is understood that Strom-
me will plead guilty and will take his
sentence cheerfully.
The new law will be a terror to
the b~ootlegger. The fact that it car
ries a sentence to the p~enitentiary in
stead of a Jail sentence is in itself a.
deterrant to the commission of the
crime as bootlegging is now designat-
under the new statute.
