The city council ordered that this be
done, and refund warrants were or

Before they could be delivered 20
the two applicants, objection was
made by w. II. Eye, who had just
completed his term as mayor OF Cen

involving the return of unused saloon
license money where saloons have

The case decided by Judge Trip

OF Centerville in voting TO refund TO
two saloon men the unused portion OF
license money which they had paid

COARSE JOKES
PROFESSIONAL NURSES CALLED
OUT IN DEAD OF NIGHT TO
FIND NONE SICK.

Sioux City, Feb. 12.-Fake night
and day calls are being sent to sew
eral nurses in Sioux City as often as
two and three times a week. In each
instance, the person making the call
Is a man. He has not yet made his
appearance before any one of them.
The latest false summons was sent
10 a nurse living ON Nebraska street,
late yesterday afternoon.

a man at the other end of the line
when the young nurse answered the
phone. "The case is n that will
need immediate attention. Best take
a taxi"
The address penciled on a note tab,
the nurse called a taxi, packed her
professional case and gave the chauf-
feur instructions to make haste TO a
west side house.
When she arrived at the number
given. no one was in the place and
the doors were locked.
This nurse and several others, who
are registered private nurses, have
been called from their homes at late
hours in the last two or three weeks.
One young woman rode thirty
blocks at 100 o'clock in the morning
to find that there was no call for hel
services and not the slightest trace OF
illness in the family to whose number
she had been directed.
Drug stores publicly registering
nurses for calls, nave taken the mat

made of the numerous requests e

Nursing has not been as remuner

New York, Feb. 12.-Special: Ger

TO treat as warships, after February
% all armed merchantmen of u
tries at war with the Teutonic allies.
Berlin already has issued a memo
randum to the neutral governments
to this effect, and Austria-Hungary
will Immediately DO likewise.
Neutral nations are informed of the
new order of things i'm the German
memorandum that they may warn
their citizens against further entrust-
ing their persons or property to arm
ed merchantmen belonging to powers
at war with the German empire"
Alleged secret instructions by the
British admiralty for merchant ships
to fire on submarines is made the
basis for Germany's putting armed
merchantmen in the category of war
craft.
There has been no |dimunition in
the severe fighting between French
and Germans i'm the Artois region of
France. Northwest OF Vimy, accord
ing to Berlin, a large section of
French trenches has been captured by
the Germans, while mean Melville
c|raters that had been previously lost
to the French were retaken. A few
prisoners and twenty-five machine
guns also fell into the hands of the
Teutons.
Paris asserts that in the district
around La Folie, to the southwest of
Vimy. the Germans were forced out
Of communicating trenches they had
occupied, and also that two strong
attacks by the Germans against the
French between Melville and LaFOlie
were repulsed, the Germans being
able to hold only one mine crater.
Berlin admits hat the French
south Of the Somme river entered a
section of the German first line
trenches. There have been lombard
ments on the remainder of the front.
In Volhynia and on the East Ga
licia frontier the Russians are strong
liz on the offensive. Northwest OF
Tarnopol the Russians succeeded in
penetrating Austrian trenches, but
later were elected, while on the Bess-
arabian frontier the Russians Were
driven from an advanced position to
their main position. I'm Nolhynia re
cent fighting resulted in the Rus
slams defeat.
In small engagements by infantry
at several points of the Austrian
Italian fronts, Rome reports that the
Italians were victorious.
Premier Skouloudis, of Greece, has
informed the Greek parliament that
his policy to avoid trouble for Greece
has the approval OF a majority Of the
people. and that it would be contin-
ued, Notwithstanding pressure. H.
added that forces OF the government
would be kept intact and used in the

RATHER CARELESS
FARMERS INSTITUTE MEETINGS
IN COUNTY TOWNS ON
THE SAME DATE.

Wentworth Enterprise: 1t appears
to the Enterprise that the dating OF
the farmers meetings in Lake county
have been made in a rather careless
manner. 1t is found that Madison,
which is the county seat and only
eight miles from Wentworth, is to
have a four days short course, dur
ing which time Wentworth will have
a two days meeting. Can it help but
lessen the attendance at both places
when meetings are held on the same
days and within eight miles of one
another? Besides, the short course is
supposed TO carry a better and larger
program with bigger premiums i'm the
larger towns than the small town
against the small town meetings?
The Enterprise is, however, quite OPP
tomistic over the two days meeting
which Wentworth will have on Febru-
airy 81 and %. Speakers on the i'm
stitute course who have appeared i'm
Wentworth before have always com
plimented us on the attendance had
and the interest shown, and We be-
lieve that neither will be lacking
again this time. There are many Of
our farmers who usually attend both
the short course held at Madison and
the meetings held in Wentworth,
making exhibits at each. This year
they will find it impossible to do SO
owing to the conflicting dates.
