WON'T QUIT JOB
 AT POMONA JAIL

POMONA, Nov. 12.-When John Schwartz was fired he refused to
 quit, and when lie was turned out of jail he went back, stood at the dcor, claimed to be a prisoner in waiting and purloined the food of bona fide prisoner, so he was locked up today and slated for 8 1 hearing in Justice Court.
 Schwartz came to this city week ago to wash dishes in a cafeteria He is said to have been too slow
 and he was dismissed after he had ! worked one day. At that stage of the game he wanted the cafeteria proprietor to sign a statement for presentation to Los Angeles em- ployment agency stating that he ! had not employed Schwartz upon his arrival at this city, so that Schwartz could get back the money he had paid for the job. The pro prietor refused to sign.
 One word led to another, and fin, ally the chief of police was called to arrest Schwartz Saturday morn ing the police judge heard his case
 and turned him loose. Sunday night Schwartz grew hungry. He went to the jailyard and stood at the
 gate. When Uncle John Arnett, who
 feeds the prisoners and beds them down for the night, arrived with two suppers for two prisoners, Schwartz claimed to be prisoner
 who was waiting for an officer to
 come and lock him in, and he | forked one supper out of the bas
 ket, so one prisoner went hungry. i When Officer Pleasant learned
 that Schwartz was self-confessed
 prisoner and supper moocher be-
 sides, he jugged him again, and
 the cafeteria man swore to com plaint against him.

have many little Injuries that she
had never allowed herself. Their
interest in her simple trousseau was
unbounded and kindly, and when they
finally waved her good bye after the
ceremony at her aunt's house, not one
of them, least Of all Anna herself,
suspected that she was lacking the
most essential preparation of all.
The prospect of baby brought
only happiness to Anna, and she set
about making the little outfit with
all young mothers delight. The
materials she purchased were dainty
and expensive, but not one practical
or useful article was to be found
when the layette was finished. The
baby came, fat and well-nourished.
She tried nursing him, but it was
painful, and ignorant of the proper
care of herself and of the danger to
her baby, she weaned him after a
couple of weeks. The new food,
adopted at the suggestion of inter-
ested neighbors, did not agree with
the baby; she changed to another,
then another, and in desperation to
still another. Gradually the baby lost
weight, grew paler and weaker, and
finally fell dangerously i'll. A physi-
clan was called, and when, instead of
medicine, he prescribed only a wet
nurse, Annals one cry was, Nothing
would have made me wean my baby,
if I'd known how dangerous it was.
Why was | never taught?" Why
wasn't she?
Criminal Ignorance
No wonder your baby doesn't re-
tain her food, or sleep, or gain in
weight: you wouldn't either if you
were bounced and jiggled, as you
bounce and jiggle her" And the
nurse proceeded to instruct Bessie
Turnbull in the simple fact that bah
les, even more than kittens and pup
pies, must not be handled, but al
lowed to sleep and eat with perfect
regularity. But nobody had told
Bessie this, and in hopes of making
her smart" the baby was played
with and talked to continually, and
Weakened and shown to admiring rel
atives and friends, until her delicate
nerves were all a-quiver, and she be-
came a very sick baby indeed. There
are thousands of Bessie Turnbulls in
the country, and for the sake of
themselves, their children, the citi-
Zens of tomorrow, and Society, they
must be educated in motherhood be-
fore motherhood catches them un-
awares and unprepared.

An adjourned special school meet

this village on Tuesday evening to
further consider the question Of erect

dance was not large, owing doubtless
to the fact that the action of the

the informal expression of the former
meeting. After calling to order, the
Moderator, l.. Fl. Stone, appointed M.
+. Durkee to act with the Director,
II. II. Gooding, in collecting and
counting the ballots. The meeting
then proceeded to ballot upon the
question of building new school
house, which resulted 20 for and three
against. The house is to be wood,
yeneered with brick, and its cost
about $4,000. A resolution unanimous
ly prevailed to submit to the voters
of the district, at an adjourned meet
ing which is to be held on Tuesday
evening, May rs, the question of bor-

building and having it ready to use
