LONG CHASE AT AN END
Alleged Passer of Bad Check Is
Caught i'm S. Dakota.

Hugh Larimer, Shawnee county
undersheriff, as the pursuer and Thea
NJ. Dice, an alleged passer of a bad
check, as the pursued, ended today
at Canton, South Dakota, according
to a telegram received today from
Canton by Larimer. Dice lived at Te-
cumseh.
The local sheriff's office holds
warrant, drawn under the new "over-
draft" law of 1915, which charges
Dice with drawing a check payable
to Charles Renshaw and on the
Farmers National bank for $1,000
when there were no funds in the bank
to meet the paper. The alleged bad
check was drawn in the latter part of
September. Dice was traced to Con-
cordia, Kan, then to Nebraska and
out to Colorado. The next thing
heard of him was to the effect that
he was in South Dakota. He was
traced to that state by addresses on
letters written to him. He has waived
requisition, according to the telegram.
Hugh Larimer, undersheriff, will
leave this evening for Canton to get
his man.

CITY VS.. COUNTRY.

The long accepted theory that the
country as a place of residence is far
superior to the city in healthfulness
and almost everything that tends to
long life and happiness, is given a Sc
we're jolt by Professor Thomas d.
Wood in school and Society,"" He
writes:
about half of the 100000 school
children in the United States are at
tending the rural schools. Country
children attending the rural schools
are less healthy and are handicapped
by more physical defects than the
children of the cities (including all
the children of the slums). And this
is true, in general, of all parts of the
United States.
zone of the conditions which helps to
explain this astonishing inferiority OF
the country child is the environment.
The country home and the country
school are, on the average, less sani-
tary and healthful than the city home
and the city school. 1t has been as
sumed that because the country child
has all the features of the country, he
is of course surrounded by fortunate
and wholesome conditions But the
possession of all outdoors is far from
enough. The farmers home is, as a
rule, insanitary in many respects. 1t
is often terribly unventilated and the
jewellers in the house are fed many
hours a day with bad air. Country
water and food are less wholesome
than water and food in the city. The
standards of living on the American
farm, when tested by the accepted
principles of sanitation and hygiene,
are alarmingly defective. The rural
school, from the standpoint of health
and general fitness for its important
use, is the worst type of building in
the whole country, including not only
all types of buildings used for human
beings, but also those used for live
stock and all domestic animals. Rural
schools are, on the average, less ade-
quate for their use than prisons, asy-
lums, almshouses, stables, dairy-barns,
pig-pens, chicken-houses, dog-kennels
are for their uses"

VICTIMS OF GREED.

Recent investigation of the causes
leading to the garment makers strike
in Chicago furnish much food for
thought to those who feel an interest
in their fellow man.
Pathetic stories of the lives of girls
who dwell in tenements and gain
precarious livelihood in the garment
trade were unfolded.
The normal earnings of the girls,
testimony showed, were SIS week,
and only supreme efforts, working
from daylight to dark without lunch,
would bring in So.
One girl testified that she worked
from $50 a. m. to p. m. right
through the noon hour. Another girl
said that she had earned as low as IS
cents a week. 1t was brought out
that 800 girls used the same roller
towel. Under conditions like these is
it any wonder that the dance halls and
the river levy a heavy toll?
There are many societies organized
for the rescue and uplift of unfor-
tunate women, but none of them
seems to get at the root of the matter.
1t is just one more case where an
ounce of prevention would be worth
more than a pound of cure.
States where such action is much
less necessary have fixed by law a
minimum wage scale and enforced
sanitary measures in factories and
stores. What is the matter with Illi-
nois? Why are such conditions per-
mitted to exist? Human greed has
seldom been exhibited in more hideous
form than in the sweat shops of Chi

The while amounting copiously

the esteemed Pemberville Leader, that
the Illinois editor who has with profit
made a life study of the mosquito is n
public benefactor and when he dies
the people of this country ought to
erect a monument to the honor of his
memory. He has discovered a new
way to get rid of mosquitoes. He tells
YOU simply to rub alum on your race
and hands. When the mosquito takes
a bite it FUCKERS its gazoopie SO it
can't sting Then it sits down in a
damp place, tries to dig the quicker
loose, catches its death of cold and
dies of pneumonia.
