MASON CITY POLICE ADOPT NEW
TACTICS IN ANTl-eooT-
Logging CRUSADE.
RAID RAILROAD DEPoTs
WITH SEARCH WARRANTS
Fifty. One Casks Of Beer and Three
Gallons Of Whisky Seized ~ Liquor
Alleged to 30 Consigned to Bootleg
sins Houses at Cement Plants
Railroads to Make No Defense.

Mason City, Aug. 12.-Ths answer
of the police department to recently
adopted tactics of men who have in
toxicating liquors consigned to houses
alleged to be Bookkeeping establish
ments, whereby they have obtained
writs Of replevin for liquor held up by
the police came straight from the
shoulder yesterday.
Armed with search warrants issued
by Police Judge w. H. Hayes, author
izing the seizure Of liquor intended
for houses where the police claim
bootlegging is carried on, Chief Cor
man, Inspector Mason and Patrolman
Johnson visited the Rock Island and
Great Western freight houses and the
lls-Fargo express office. and seized
a total Of fifty casks Of beer, and
three gallons of whisky.
All of this liquor. the police say, is
intended either for men themselves
known to be bootleggers-some Of
whom are now at liberty on bond
pending trial, and some of whom have
paid fines ently-or for men living
at houses where there is evidence that
beotlegging is carried on.
Loquir for men, foreigners and Amer
leans alike; who have q cean record
with the police, was not molested
Some Of the liquor seized was billed
to American names.
One cask of beer among those seized
was consigned by the Hamm Brewing
Company's Ottumwa branch to Nick
Skarles Cottage 9. Skarles was held
to the grand jury Wednesday by Judge
Hayes on direct evidence that sales
had been made by him personally.
Misaddressed Beer.
That the brewing companies in some
instances are either adopting subter-
fuge, or else are ignorant of require
ments. is indicated by the manner in
which the shipments Of one brewery
to men living at the Northwestern ce-
ment plant cottages are addressed. So
heavy is the brewerys business with
these people that they have had
rubber stamp made for the address,
which requires. only the writing in of
the cottage number; S. 3.;
However, theys overlook one bet.

TAMA cHAuTAuouA OPENS.
Senator Kenyon Unable to Fill Engage
nent on Opening Day.

H'eTt OF SPeHIn9 Jay
Special to Times Republican.
Tama. Aug. 12.-The annual session
of the Central Iowa Chautauqua opened
here Wednesday before a large audi
ence. Senator Kenyon was booked fot
the opening address but owing to the
important matters before the senate al
this time he was compelled to cancel
all OF his chautauqua dates. The COM
mittee were fortunate in securing LATE
Young, as substitute. who delighted
the audience with a review of his ex
perlences as war correspondent in the
present great war. The White Hus-
sars, who gave the prelude in the af-
te-noon and full concert in the even
ing were received with more favor than
any musical company that has ap-
peared here for long time. The Hus-
sars are nine college boys from eight
different states, one of them being Mr..
Carney, of Gilman. and a graduate sof
Grlnnell. The snap, vivacity and or
isinality of their part of the program
made a great hit.
The Central Iowa Chautauqua is the
only one in the state leaving the ad-
mission fee for the full fourteen en-
tertainments at ST. The association
owns its own large pavilion, built in
a beautiful oak park half way between
Tama and Toledo, and is out of debt.
Ut operates as an independent chau-
tauqua and buys the best talent OBJ
tairable from all sources. That it is
able to furnish the best talent for seven
days for only 81 is a surprise to other
chautauqua arrangements but the liber-
al patronage Of both Tama and Toledo
people besides many from the coun-
try and smaller towns makes this pos
sible.

Inspires Crime Of Girl.
Sioux City. Aug. l2.-One Of the
things that a 15-year- Sioux City
girl learned when she attended the
eighth grade last year was the proper
way in which to write out and endorse
a check
This same little girl, who today is in
the custody of the Sioux City police,
has a younger brother who was run
down and seriously injured by an auto
mobile about two weeks ago. The
youths injuries We're such that he was
taken to a hospital.
Last week the mother thought that
a few flowers would tend to brighten
the room which her young son oc-
cupied at the hospital She gave the
little girl S. bill and instructed her
to buy Is cents worth of flowers. The
girl left her home and started up town.
Along the way she lost the bill. Fear
ing to return home and confess the
loss to her mother, who is a washer
woman, she went to the home Of a
relative to tell her Of her loss. The
relative was away. The little girl was
at loss to know what to do. Sud-
denly she realized that a check would
make the loss good, and going into the
Midwest Bank she procured one. She
wrote check for 1915 and then went
to Fourth street flower store. She
purchased the flowers and took them
to the hospital to her injured brother
That was the beginning. Seeing
many pretty things in the shop win
dow that girls of her own age were
wearing, she resolved to get some for
herself The lessons taught her in the
eighth grade stood her we'll in hand.
She wrote five checks. the police say,
all for small amounts, ranging from
50 to $3.75.

MULE AND COTTON PATCH.

Peter Dockweiler a farmer of the
Listonia district, who was here last
Saturday with five bales of cotton to
sell, has set an example in the plan
he has followed in marketing his crop
that ought to be worth while to those
who stay two to three sf1rt-tail lengths
ahead of the sheriff.
A week prior Dockweiler came in
with five bales. There are five more
at home and the total fifteen were sold
from the 1914 crop when the war sent
a blue streak through all the earth.
If he could have been pushed into
selling like nearly all the other farm.
ers were by pressing debt, he would
have gotten about six cents Now
he is getting over twelve cents That's
what his staying little ahead of the
sheriff meant to him.
This is but one of the many, many
instances of the value of simple, every
day thrift, the kind that any one can
practice. Dockweiler is not a plain
Georgia Cracker" He is out of the
northwest but he is an ordinary hui
man being, for we saw him. He put
himself ahead with a Georgia mule
and a cotton patch But he works
hard, makes good yields, and saves
same Of the money He stays out of
bad trades, does not care much about
new sleek mule every season and ex-
ercises great care in his expenditures
for fertilizers.
There is power, independence, self
respect and joy in living for the man
who win stay just a little ahead.
