damage was done, but no money was
gotten. During the fall of 1915 an
other good haul was made and now
the robbery of Fred Days store, of

plain, however, that while the thieves
were caught near Eagle Lake and

live in Eagle Lake, nor ever did, but
reside on a farm about mile and a
half from the village, and that the
family drifted in fro msemewhere a

the organization Of a non-portizan
Dryden club.
Members of all parties were present
last night and made suggestions as
to the manner in which Miss Dryden s
campaign should be conducted. 1t was
urged, among other suggestions, that
the office of state superintendent
should be taken out of politics, in
spite of the fact that the superinten-
dent is a member of the state land
board and therefore one of the direc-
tors of the policy of the administration
and that because of the otherwise non
partizan nature of the office, Moscow
people could with impunity give their
support to Miss Dryden regardless of
party affiliations.
