TRESPAssING ON
PRIVATE PROPERTY

~ ~ II - AVA ~ y II
From the Delmar News-Herald.
The boys that we're arrested on
Monday and fined for trespassing on
private property, and taking cherries,
should be a lesson for these boys and
a warning for others.
There is too much of this being
done. and II sometimes becomes nee
essary to impose a fine before they
realize the meaning of trespassing on
private property II the boys could
be learned to respect such, and to
keep within their bounds there would
no doubt be less robbery and many
more happy homes. It is the little
offenses that lead to larger and great
er crime.
Parents should take pleasure in in
forming their boys of the danger OF
trespassing without permission.
boy who is let go with small oifense
is apt to stray into bad company and
in after years lead a life that is neith-
er pleasant for him or his parents
So remember that it is the little
wrongs that lead to greater ones. and
TO avoid the greater ones it is neces-
sary that you also avoid the small
ones.

5000 BOOSTERS At ABEL.
Good Roads Picnic Arouses Enthusiasm
Among Boosters.


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 2S.-Of the value
of big good roads picnics and meetings
in cultivation Of more sentiment for
paved roads there can be no doubt
among the thousands who attended the
River-to-R River Road picnic at Abel on
Friday. It was most remarkable
demonstration not only of the wide
spread interest in good roads, but also
of the determination on the part of
Iowa people to back up those who are
working for good roads. There were
probably 5000 people present, not more,
but that Is an enormous crowd for a
town Of 1,400 to care for. The fact Of
the presence of about 1900 automobiles
showed plainly that the good roads
problem of Iowa is strictly an automo-
bile problem now. These cars came from
points all along the line across the
state, many of them 100 miles or over.
It was also plain that majority of the
cars were those Of farmers or persons
in the small towns and not the city
owned cars used merely for pleasure
driving about the cities. This made of
the occasion meeting of all classes Of
persons. users Of cars. all interested in
making the roads better. The sentiment
for paved roads which might be aroused
by these 5000 people in their respective
communities is immense and it is an in
fuence that must be reckoned with
when the time comes for putting up
the money to really pave many miles
Of Iowa rural roads.
II. c. Beard, representing the state
highway commission, was present and
spoke and there was manifest the
greatest Of interest in the work being
done by and thru the commission to lay
the proper foundation for the final per-
fected road system Of the state.
Another interesting feature of the
occasion, to an on-looker, was the fact
that altho it was a day given over to
sports and good time. there was not
seen anywhere in the big crowd one
who was drunk and there was not even
the slightest controversy anywhere or
any ugliness, either in the day or at
night The crowd was orderly and
sober and there was not an arrest nor
a threat of one.

Finds Dream 4 Reality.

Finds Dream 4 Reality.

Grinnell, June 2S.-Mayor A. c. Nor
ris had dream that was not all
dream" in the early hours Of Saturday
morning When he retired the night
before he took all the treasures out Of
his pockets and laid them on a chif-
fonier close by the head OF his bed In
his dream, burglars were in his house
and he chased one so actively that he
just missed a grasp of his ankle as 1t
slid out over the window sill. Awaken
ing from this violent dream exercise,
he got up and refreshed himself with
a drink of water but, thinking OF 1t
only as a dream, he made no investi-
cation of conditions in the house. 1t
took him an hour or more to get to
sleep again, it being o'clock when he
stopped dreaming. On getting up at
the usual hour in the morning he found
his watch and purse gone and the
kitchen window open. On the kitchen
stove he found his empty purse. The
thief had taken off the window screen
and used it for a ladder to climb in
thro the window. The marks of his
stocking feet were on the screen frame
and on the side of the house. The
watch and chain are worth $50, the
chain having been Christmas gift
from Mrs. Norris.
Two other homes within couple Of
blocks of the mayors home were en-
tered the same night-one Mr.. Har-
ris's, clerk in McMurray's store. and
the other the Kirkpatrick home. Moth
ing Of great value is reported as lost
in either case. A written paper OF
some Sort from the Harris home, was
found by Mr.. Norris in the morning as
he came down Third avenue to his
place of business, this being the only
clue to the direction taken by the thief
as he went away with his booty.
