TO MAKE NEW SURVEY
Selectmen May Change Route for
New Road to Stark Neigh
bOrhOOd,

The public service commission
gave a hearing at the Center last
Friday to the people of that section
who wanted to be further heard be-
fore an order was issued for the eli
mination of the Bacon and Bowker
crossings. The main opposition was
by the people of the k"neighbor-
hood and some of them thought that
some changes in the route as sur
veyed would be desirable. The sur
vey will be made and the selectmen
report to the commission before any
order regarding the changing of the
road will be issued.

FIRE IN wHEELoCK
House and Barn of s. A. Buck and
Considerable Livestock Burned.

House and Barn of $. A. Buck and
Considerable Livestock Burned.
But for the discovery by neighbors
that the home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A.
Buck in Wheelock Village was burn
ing over their heads and the warn
ing given them from outside their
bedroom window, it is probable Mr..
and Mrs. Buck would have perished
in the ; flames on Monday
night. They were unable to
save any clothing and only got the
creamery books and cat out of the
burning house. The fire spread to
the barn and two heifers, a pair of
steers, IL hogs and 40 hens were
burned with it. The loss is estima-
ted at from $500 to $4,000 and
there is insurance of $4,000 on the
property.
1t was only by the hardest fighting
by the volunteering neighbors that
the creamery was saved and gen.
eral confagation in the village pre-
vented. Mr.. and Mrs. Buck were
taken to the home of d. M. Mclean
where clothes were provided. 1t is
supposed the fire caught around the
chimney.

AT YANkTON
Special Committee Formulating Pre-
liminary Details-City Hopes
for Results.

Yankton, March 25.-There is a
well defined feeling among the bust
ness interests of Yankton that the
present agitation for a bridge across
the Missouri will bring action and re-
suits. Residents of Knox and Cedar
counties, in Nebraska. are urging the
project and giving assurance of finan-
cial assistance.
Charles Smith, secretary of the
bridge committee, has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Owing TO the great amount of
work that will first have to be done,
profiting from the past experience in
such matters. it has been decided
that before such a public meeting is
held, all matters pertaining to every
phase of the proposition be looked
into and the committee be thoroughly
posted so that no mistakes be made
and delays incurred. For that rea-
son the public will kindly be patient
until this information is collected.
1T is the desire of the committee
that this bridge be builded along the
broadcast lines possible; that it shall
be the pride of every man. woman
and child in Yankton county,
bridge built, owned and operated by
citizens of this county, SO that any
benefits derived from it shall be our
and our immediate n%eighbors.
"a great deal of time and energy
will be put into getting facts and
data covering every single angle OF
the proposition so that when it is
put up to the people. everything will
be plain and clear cut, so that every
body knows just what is to be done,
and how We are going to do it.
1T will be SO arranged that not a
dollar goes into anything but bridge
There will be no promoters rake off
because we are going TO do the job
ourselves. When we say we il
means every la and woman In

neighbors in Cedar and Knox coun.

mother who thinks, and which has
the mother who does not care.
UNIFORMED, u~nthinking, as these
little girls are, we can see through
them in the b%riefest space of time,
where a sensible woman's heart and
brain is striving TO keep them for the
best: or where the careless mothers
heart is permitting them TO drift to-
ward mental and physical ruin. In
my w personal experience with
thousands of young girls during the
last thirty years, | have had, in many
cases, but ten minutes contact with
each of them before knowing in my
own heart whether there was a moth
er at home who understood her girl,
or a mother who, through ~selfishness
or for some other reason, refused to
think.
Girls, in themselves, are not nat
urally any more immoral than boys.
Like the boy, who cannot yet discrim-
mate or reason, they are young ami
mails, joyous in the freedom of the
sunshine and air, wondering at ev-
erything they see.
But the human world back of them
is ages upon ages old. In all the past
generations men and women have
sinned: have made the grossest kind
of blunders for passion or worse.
This cumulative power of wrong
doing" as DR.. Francis Parker was
wont to define it. has just as much
influence for maintaining wrongdo-
ing as the cumulative power of all
the good acts of humanity. One neg
alive force is set against n positive
force. Whichever is in the prepon-
derance wins the victory.
The young girl. whether she be 6
years of age or 16. is usually on the
negative side of what | have stated,
and this Is almost wholly due to the
fact that her mother neither under
stands her, nor makes any effort TO
do so. Instead of the mother learn
ing all about the physical nature of
her daughter, all the varying inn
pulses of her mental nature, she alb
serbs herself with something else,
and the girl is permitted to drift.
She meets some girl, older than her
self perhaps, who is informed OF

city of members of the state board of
regents of education, by invitation of
President Heston a reception was
held at Normal gym last evening in

Of normal schools.
Among the speakers were Presi-
dent Dwight of the state board of re-
gents, of Sioux Falls, Regent Ander-

The legislators of Moody and Mime
haha counties present rendered val
liable service in securing special leg
islation for the Madison State Nor
nal school at the late session of the
legislature and in other ways show
ing their friendliness toward the
school. This "a fully appreciated
by the school and commented upon
at the reception last evening.
Features of entertainment for the
benefit of the visitors were a very
pretty drill by students OF Miss Tut
ties department. music numbers by
students of Miss Toohey's depart
ment, and a reading by Miss DAILY.

THE GIRLS MOTHER
The Bad Boy Becomes Good-What
About the Girls?

BY Mrs. David G. Prentiss, Kinder
gartner of the Public School System:
For years and years society at large
has worried about the bad or deca-
dent boy. But to a large extent, he
seems to have disappeared and to
have been replaced by the boy who
can work, who is willing and eager to
work.
W. now face, through a shifting in
social and moral conditions, the prob
lem of the decadent girl. l have read
the entire report of the investigators
OF the Wisconsin state board of
health. and there Is not n word in
it that l could criticize, except, pos
sibly, the recommendation Of segre-
cation of the sexes in school work.
/ am not an authority in the matter,
but / believe that girls and boys.
like men and women, should freely
work together in whatever they are
doing-work without shame, looking
fearlessly and wholesomely into each
others eyes.
Such a condition, however, cannot
be brought about. in my opinion, UNI
til we have produced the mother, the
woman who bears girls. and who can
intelligently understand and work
with her own offspring. In my kin
~dergarent work l receive all sorts of
little girls. Some are Polish, some
German, some American, some Ital-
ian, some French. They are not un-
der our control for an hour, before

CHICKEN THIEF
Two Wives i'm Luxury and
Was Model Husband.

Kansas City, Mo. March 25.-A.
F. Poole used to be pointed out by
NAM women to their husbands as a
model man. He neither smoked,
chewed. used profane language nor
drank. and he worshiped his wife,
provided her with diamonds, motor
cars, music and every comfort that
a prosperous business man could af-
ford.
But ii was a mighty big surprise to
mis- neighbors in two fashionable
south side neighborhoods, and a still
greater surprise TO his wife in each
of them, when the two women, each
known as Mrs. A. f. Poole, sitting
near each other in the criminal court
room, without a hint of each others
identity. saw Poole plead guilty to
chicken stealing and receive a four
year sentence in the penitentiary. 1t
was when each tearfully sought to
solace Poole that they discovered the
fact that Poole had divided his at
tentions and maintained two homes.
That wasn't their only tragedy, how
ever, for, of necessity, two elegant
south side homes had quickly to be
vacated and two Mrs. Pooles" had
20 seek more unobtrusive quarters.
incidentally. it developed that
Poole had made chicken stealing an
art. Already he had served terms in
the Kansas penitentiary and the
Jackson county Jail for the same Of
Tense, and these little slips had
taught him caution and that he must
use fnesse. Posing as the agent for
a Wichita. Kan, commission house,
Poole made nightly raids in Wyan.
