broken the shell of an egg and tied
an infant chicken to his, Johnson's,

orphaned chick was the only one

Father Baker Is Victim
Of Automobile Thieves

Monday evening Father Baker, of
the local Catholic parish, had the mis-
fortune to have his automobile stolen
from the rear of the church about 10
o'clock. No clue to the parties who
took the car have as yet been found.
The automobile was a Studebaker
six-cylinder roadster and an exception
ally fine machine. There was a large
aluminium plate on the box back Of
the drivers seat which made it quite
noticeable. 1t was the only car of it's
kind in this vicinity. From the fact
that the car was a present from his
congre cation last year makes the own
er feel the loss most keenly. ~..
Whether the car was really stolen
or taken by joy riders is not yet GER
tain. Sheriff Kelly and the city Off.
GERS were notified of the disappear.
ance last night and have been sleuth-
ing to the best of their ability 1t is
hoped the culprits may be landed and
given the extreme penalty of the law.
We know from experience that this
sort of thing is becoming altogether
too common, and an example should
be made of the perpetrators.

May Establish Night
School in This City

Thos. S. Griffing, naturalization ex.
aminer from the St. Paul Office of the
government bureau of naturalization,
made an inspection here Monday in
regard to establishing night school
for foreign-born adults. The course
would allow them to perfect them
selves in English and civics and en-.
able them to become more efficient as
citizens. Bismarck, Fargo and James
town have tried these schools with
good success. The usual procedure is
for the agent to report his findings
and for the schools to be established
under supervision of the commercial
club or some civic club or body. In
most places small tuition is charged,
but that feature is entirely with the
management Of the school.
