PRICES INCREASED

The Diamond Drill takes this means
OF notifying its customers in the job
department the prices on all classes Of
stationery have been advanced so
sents per thousand This increase is
pecessltated by the increase in the
price OF material As an example Of
the increase we might call attention to
the fact that standard bonds that we
purchase a few years ago al l2-cents
per pound are now ruling at 26-cents
per pound.
II has been the policy OF The Dia-
mond Drill to operate It's job depart
ment ON one price 10 all and as low
basis as consistent with good bust
ness methods For that reason we
found II necessary 20 make a horizon
tai increase IN prices Of all our pro
duets that have heretofore been sold az
fixed prices.

IRON RIVER BANDITS
Two Young Men OF Good Families
Bring Disgrace lpon Parents

Two young men Of Iron River were.
brought home from Menomnee hand
cufied together. by the county officials
last Wednesday and lodged In Jail
for robbery They were both boys
who had grown up in Iron River, one
a son of Frank Smart and the other
a VanWagner boy Both had borne
regulations that were not at all good
but IL was not dreamed that they
would go to the extreme OF lawless-
ness that they did go TO.
They started their career of crime
by attempting TO rob the safe at the
81, Paul station The fortunate ar
rival OF a train crew scared them away
so they stole car from the garage
OF Lindwall & Lindstrom and then
broke into the Standard OH station
and filled up with gasoline and oil
and started off on a career OF crime
At Florence they broke into a gar
age and replenished their stock OF
gasoline. OH and tires and away they
went headed for Chicago, to join the
auto bandits
BY the time they got we'll along to-
wards Powers the officers were wise
10 what was happening and the wires
were kept hot, advising officers of
Menomiuee and other counties thru
which they must pass, of what was
doing Tile Mcnominee sheriff took
no chances and in a short time had
dozen men along the road 20 intercept
them He succeeded in bringing
them TO brook and lodged them in Jail
10 await the arrival OF the Iron county
officials
The two boys were brought home
haudcuned together and large crowd
was assembled at tile station 10 wit
ness their arrival
The young men seemed to think
that they had done a great thing and
laughed and tested over their escap~
ade
Universal sympathy is expressed
for the parents and other relatives
of these two boys for they are respect
ed citizens Of Iron River The boys
We're both wayward and had been
looked upon as black sheep for many
years
il Is thought at Iron River that the
auto bandit escapade will explain
many of the robberies that have oc-
CURED at that place lately
