said. Babies eyes are spoiled by
white dresses and white carriages.
Neutral and dark tints should be
used. The dress, carriage and walls

brown or a green gray. This applies

Certain 1t is that there will be no corn
husking season in this part of the
country, not a real husking season.
Many farmers do not purpose putting
an ear into their cribs. There are
many silos in this section, however,
and a good sized herd of shoats on
nearly every farm. One farmer whose
corn Is much better than the average
expects to hire two men to husk his
crop and throw it into the driveway
in his crib. While this is being done
he will sort it by hand, throwing the
best in the crib on one side and the
remainder on the other.

HE ROBBED BANK
SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY OF BANK
BY RAILROAD BRAKEMAN.

Ainsworth, Neb., Oct. 2S.-In the
case OF the state VS.. Pearl c. Phillips.
a Northwestern passenger brakeman,
for robbing the Brown County bank
at Long Pine of $4,000, Phillips en-
tered a plea of guilty in each of the
seven counts. On each OF the seven
counts the law provides for an indie
terminate sentence of from one to ten
years. and this sentence was pro-
nounced by Judge Dickson. In addi-
tion to the sentence, the Judge read
a lecture to the prisoner. He then
ordered the prisoner to take off the
Masonic button he was wearing and
to never again wear such an emblem.
In the early part of 1913 Pearl G.
Phillips was given the place of assist
ant cashier in the Brown County
bank. He remained In the employ of
the bank some time, but IL was OBJ
served that he did not measure up to
the recommendations and his services
terminated. In the meantime. how
ever. he had procured a key TO the
back door of the bank.
In November following the bank
began to miss money. 1t was the
habit of the bank officials to go out
to lunch and leave the money out of
the safe during that time. At that
time of the day Phillips made his
visits. The bank officials suspected
him, but IL was o until October lS
that Zeb Cox, a Long Pine constable,
caught him in the act. He made no
denial and gave as an excuse that his
pay as brakeman would not allow
him to live at the top of the social
swim" In Long Pine and he had TO
steal in order to keep his head
above water"

SEEK TO STOP GAMBLING
IN "WAR ORDER" STOCKS.
Conservative Element In Wall Street
Alarmed by Speculative Value.

Conservative Wall street, by which il
mean that element In the New York
financial district which has not gone
insane owe the so called war babies
and cannot subscribe to the prevailing
belief that every Industrial stock OF
the list of the exchange will sell for at
least 500. is attempting to check specu-
lation In these issues. To this end
some Of the banks have notified Gus
toners hat heavier margins would
have to be provided on loans I'm which
such industrials figure as collateral.
On their part conservative houses
warned customers to go slow and by
way OF making their warning effective
called for heavier margins.
These acts. together with some profit
taking. have had the effect Of checking
the advance, though trading In war
babies at times is on the same wild
scale.
Conditions In speculative Wall street
are unlike anything In the memory OF
the oldest members OF the exchange.
Precedents that I'm other markets could
hAa'C btNh nNPNAhNu aPVh as suh0NS
prove useless, for there never was quite
such a condition before.
The result Is that spectators who
have run the traditional shoestring into
a Limousine are plunging with their
winnings. thus building up a bull &C
count that because Of its size Is ex-
tremely vulnerable to any adverse de
velopment. The pyramid first and last
has contributed to more trouble In Wall
street than any other one thing, and
brokers are afraid Of the immense thing
now building.
Ordinarily Wall street spectators
think well Of a trade that yields FIVE
points profit IA week. Now brokers
have difficulty In interesting customers
In anything that does not move that
many points In a session and give
promise Of FIVE times ive points ad-
vance.
