swindling of the chief of police of
Mason City and of the preacher at
Muscatine proves this.
Some Of Mrs. Mohr's larger deals
some of her plunges into the business
world proper--are not without inter-
esting details. Her biggest haul was
that of stealing a hotel in Clinton sew

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question is asked every day.
A cold is really fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat By enriching the blood
and SO render the system better
able to Withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
SCOTS Emulsion should always be
taken for colds, and it does more

SCOTS Emulsion contains Natures
rare strength building fats, so skillfully
blended that the blood profits from
every drop. 1t is free from harmful
drugs or alcohol. Sold at drug stores

MANY PHASES OF cHEckERED

ARRESTED At MUsCATlNE.

BIG ASSET TO WOMAN
Served Five Years in Anamosa Prison
Because Of Efforts to Gain Possess
sion Of Clinton HoteI-operated in
Mason City, Muscatine and Other
Towns-Preacher Latest Victim.

Muscatine, Dec THAT fact is
stronger than fiction is once more
demonstrated in the strange case OF
Mrs. Adam Mohr, an aged Burlington
woman who is now awaiting action BY
the Muscatine county grand jury on
charges of having fleeced local
clergyman of SIZES.
To see her, one might think she was
the specific person to whom the un-
known jester referred when he said
That woman looks like she hasn',
had an idea since Grant died.; to know
her is to believe that she is one of the
cleverest women swindlers within the
far-reaching borders Of the country
at least SO say the authorities whG
have dealt with her and who have in
vestigated her past life.
The objective person is Mrs. Adam
Mohr. of Burlington, who is now be-
hind the bars of the Musca tine county
bastile, held to the grand jury for
fleeing a Muscatines minister, and in
cidentally awaiting trial at Mason City,
where she has been indicted for
swindling the chief of police and a
number of the other residents Of the
Cerro Gordo metropolis. = ~,
BY what circumstance she came to
Burlington no one knows--no one but
she. She has never told. Keeping
things to herself seems To have been
stock IN trade with Mrs. Mohr. and
the only peculiar thing about her es-
capades, since she has shown herself
capable of getting away with some OF
them, Is the fact that she Is in the
tolls. A woman who has proved her
self as criminally clever as she should
not have much trouble eNading arrest,
but it was the one fatal misstep-that
Of being caught the first time-that
proved her undoing. Had she not been
marked by previous prison record, It
is gold to copper that she never would
have been traced to Burlington and
apprehended. saa

Resolutions.

Whereas, we the undersigned
committee having been appoint
ed to express the sentiment Of
our worthy colleagues, and doing
this in an unbiased manner, have
adopted the following resolu-
tions:
We, the teachers Of Emmons
County Teachers Institute, do
hereby extend thanks in appre-
citation Of the excellent work Of
Mr.: and Mrs. Hollis and of @he
pains they have taken to do us
the most good in the short time
allotted them. We highly APP
preciate the timely suggestions
/ of Mr.. Hollis along the agricul-
tural lines, and Mrs. Hollis pains
taking work in domestic science,
drawing, sewing, paper-cutting
and weaving.
The personality of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hollis was such that every
one present warmed UP more
and more as time passed by, and.
now at the close Of the institute
| we part only with hopes of meet
ling again these able conductors.
Many Of the teachers will 60
back to their work refreshed with
a new spirit, with a happier
heart and when the inevitable
sad moments" will appear, there
will loom before them the kindly
faces Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hollis with
one or more Of the divers sug-
gestions that will act as a balm
and new enthusiasm will be in
Estiiled for the continuation of
their work.
MIR. Hollis illustrated lecture
on the subject Of Rural Schools
was instructive and will do a
great deal to keep the boy and
girl on the farm. The Lyceum
Course goes hand and hand with
Consolidation of Schools and the
different subjects of the course
should receive the attention of

Week Proves Of Great Value
to County School System.

Our teachers institute held
last week, at which there was an
enrolment of 124, was most ably
conducted by Mr.. and Mrs. Hol.
lis, of Fargo. Prof. Hollis is Col.
lege Extension Lecturer, North
Dakota Agricultural College, and
devotes most Of his time to lee
ture work. He is a popular and
capable institute conductor. He
is an easy speaker and a worker
and before the first period was
over had all the teachers with
him. While a strict disciplinarian,
his teachers gave him a cordial
attention that must be most graf
flying and showed their pleasure
and appreciation by prompt at
tendance, there being no mex
cusable hardness, and by remain
ing each period until the close Of
the session.
Mrs. Hollis, a charming wo-
man, is a graduate of Stout Insti-
tute, Menominee, Wis, a former
domestic science teacher, and has
been giving demonstration lee
lures before teachers Institutes,
directors meetings and women's
clubs for some time. She pre-
sents her work in clear and
forceful manner, explaining de-
tails in a few words and making
her methods clear without YER
bosity. Her suggestions are prac-
teal and we hope and expectthat
the results Of her work will be
felt in every part of our county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hollis do excel.
lent team work, each aiding. and
abethng the other, but either one
is entirely competent in his own
line without assistance.
The interest, good will and con-
duct Of our teachers was most
gratifying to the superintendent
and the fact that nearly all were
present the full five days, showed
fine professionalspirit. We wish
travelling was easier in this coun-
ty so that the teachers could get
together oftener. Such gather
ings dignity our profession and
increase our aspirations.
