CLEVER FORGER EN-
 PLOYS BOY AS DUPE
(Frnm Thursdays Dailv.l

NFEflHl HuI SQay D1lly.J
 County officials are upon the trail of q clever forger who is alleged to have used fifteen-year-old coun- try youth as dupe in securing S20 upon forged check. The facts and circumstances surrounding the fel- ony are the most interesting ever recorded in local criminal annals.
 Emmet Eckels, the youngster who got himself into such a peck of trouble. resides with his parents in the Fair Oaks district. Tuesday, while coming to the city, declared the boy when relating his troubles yesterday, he fell in with a cow puncher at Williamson Valley. The two became quite chummy and rode their ponies into the city to- gether Tuesday evening.
 En route the new-found friend unfurled stunning plan of action for the purpose of lining their pock- cts with lucre. Emmet, completely enamored with his friends clever ness. became easily inveigled
 The friend, of the unknown name, then forged the name of James Davis. a prominent rancher, to a check for $o5. The check was poorly made out, but no sus- picion was attached to it when the youngster showed up at the Owl Drug and Candy Company store shortly after l o'clock yesterday morning and asked to have it changed.
 Outside lounged the forger, ac- cording to the boys story The lad was not known by name to the two proprietors in the place at the time but the signature of the prominent rancher was recognized. Twenty dollars was immediately advanced upon the check.
 According to the boys story, he handed over the money to his com panion when he got outside. That was the last he ever saw of him.
 Yesterday morning, the book keeper of the firm presented the check at the bank and was con fronted with the announcement that it was a forgery. Young Eckels was picked up on the street and arrested. He then told his story.
 D. w. Wynkoop, rancher liv- ing several miles out of the city, got wind of the youngsters predica- ment and immediately set out to straighten matters out. His offer to reimburse the firm for its so loss was accepted and the charge was dropped. The boy had previ- ously worked for Mir. Wynkoop and had given satisfaction. The two re turned to the Wynkoop ranch last night.

NOW BEGINNING
 TO GET TOGETHER
(By Winfield Jones'

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Dec l6 The Republicans are beginning to ''get together"
 Old feuds are being settled. ami mosities are being buried, and dif- ferences are forgotten.
 Recommendation for a progress i've program, including state pri- mary law, adopted at the Repub- lican conference in New York. is favorably commented upon by Re publican leaders at the capitol. They declare that it was only another in dication that the Republican party would get together again upon sane plan.
 Senators Townsend of Michigan and Smoot of Utah were among those who declared they thought the Republicans of New York were on the right track for reunion of all factions of the party upon q basis which would mean q return of the Republican party to power.
 Republican leaders in Washington believe that events are marching more and more rapidly toward a reorganization and reunion of the Republican party.
 Republican campaign machinery will be in motion in Washington in a few days. opening the battle for the capture of the House of Representatives in the election next November HeadquarterS have been engaged. and will be open this week under the direction of Sec retary John Eversman.
 Conferences of Republican repre- sentatives of several States are now in progress. When the national congresslonaI committee meets to- morrow the details of the cam paigns to be waged in "close" States will have been fairly well deter mined.
 It is proposed to concentrate the Republican fight in k56 cougression- al districts and estimates by Re publican leaders indicate that they expect to carry fully one-half or more of these.
 Meanwhile the Wilson admins tration, which started of badly and which has further complicated its blunders by the present San Do mingo muddle. is being severely criticised from different angles.
 Secretary of the Treasury Me Adoo is being assailed for the part the treasury recently took in the absorption of a Washington trust company and Secretary of Agricul ture Houston is in very hot water for his indifference to the work of the boys and girls champion farm clubs.
 Houston is in deep trouble with the farming interests. The Ohio State Grange passed a resolution expressing disanDointment because the secretary refused to receive the Ohio corn boys and the prize cooks among the Ohio girls. who came here to the number of 2,000. accom- panied by Governor Cox. Secre- tary Houston was on the program to make speech and help enter tain the visitors. but he declined to do so. and was criticised by the 1 officers of the Ohio Agricultural Commission, who conducted the trip.
 Houston has been at war with the | National Grange for some time, and | at the meeting of the Ohio State !. Grange the resolution declared t | was a shock to that body when President Wilson announced the ap- pointment of Houston.
 For several months the Depart . ment Of Agriculture has been at war with the Ohio Agricultural , commission over the corn boys or ganization. There is national | contest for growers Of corn and for excellence in do-

Some people think colds are cMy caught through exposure. This in
return is contradcted by the fact that Arctic explorers are peculiarly free
from colds. Its more generally accepted that colds arc the result of cviized
life, due to super-heated roomsa and a very rapid changed temperature which
causes the nerve centers to be depressed, and still Ecro largely due to con-
tagon- one member ola family impartng a cold to another by sneezng or
coughing.
A cold means nothing if relieved quickly. That such a purpose may be
accomplished, a quick aid to q COLI is al essential q remedy especially
devised to relieve colds quickly is PERUEA.
PERUNA contains such ingredients that have an especially beneficial in.
fuence upon the inIamod MUCOUS membranes and the quicker these mucous
membranes are given the benefit Ofa remedy like PERUNA the quicker the
relief and the less contagicn.
Anegleoted cold may become { serious menace to ones own life, and far
worse, may endanger ones family.
We insure our homes against fire, our lives against death. Why should
we no; insure ourselves against colds if possible by having a medicine in the
family chest that can be used at once?
PERUNA isa reliable household remedy for colds and should be in every
home, for there should be a desire to combat q cold IS quickly as possible.
This is enlightened hygiene.
People who are feeble and run down re more subject to colds than per-
sons in normal health. Such persons need outdoor life and PERUNA to help
build up a strong constitution. If you have a poor appetite that is often a
warning that you probably need 4 tonic like Peuna for Peruna aids the
digestive organs. When your appetite is fair and work and exercise do not
quickly tire you your susceptibility to colds diminishes very much.
Persons who object to liquid medicines can now obtain PERUNA
TABLETS.

LET'S TALK srumPs!"

Capt. Wilcox has another idea, re-
marks the Ishpeming Iron ore This
one is TO change the branch states
prison at Marquette TO a home for the
feeble minded, and TO build another
branch prison out on Keweenaw point
where prisoners could be put at work
mining and breaking rock for roads.
The captain thinks there might be a
profit won in mining for copper some
where in that region. The average
prisoner wouldn't be a good miner be-
cause good miners never find their
way into prisons. SO that feature OF
the scheme is all wrong 1t would take
too long 10 teach the green man how
TO mine. He would, under present
practice, be paroled long before he
would know how to swing hammer.
To break rock for roads might be feas-

country is an ideal material for roads
being tough and resisting 10 wear.
Why wouldn't 1t be still better to
putfthose fellows uprooting stumps in
the hard wood soil districts Of this re-
sion, captain? Here's a fine chance
for real work that should amount 10
something. Let's have the state Sc
cure several thousand acres Of cut
