JIMMY HOPPER WAS NOT
RAISED TO BE SOLDIER

The application of James Hopper,
The wcll-known magaziue writer, for
aid from San Francisco authorities to
save him from enforced service in the
French army, has a tinge of local in
terest inasmuch as he was stationed
in Reno during the football season OF
1900. being engaged as coach for the
university team. Hopper was released
at the end Of the season, considerable
dissatisfaction with his work having
been expressed on the part of players
and manager.
1t appears that Hopper was born in
Paris and came to the United States
with his mother when ,he was an in
FAINT. His mother was French and his
father was English. Hopper's conten-
tlon is that because his father was II
British subject he is an English citizen
and, therefore, not subject to oonscrip-
ton, because he is married.-Gazette

A CHANCE FOR REFLECTION,

Sales for Sears. Roebuck 4 Co. for
the year 1918 totaled $112, 665, 725, an
increase Of $l4,544,O71, or 11.441 per
cent over 1914, and set a new high
record for the concern, according to
figures made public the first of the
year. In other words the people of
various communities in various Sec
tions of the country contributed to this
mail order house millions upon mil
lions Of dollars which should have re.
NAMED at home to aid in establishing
local prosperity. This tendency to
patronize mail order houses is a study
in itself and should be given closer
attention.

MCKeHna Gets
Heavy Fine

James McKenna was found
guilty Saturday by a jury in the
United States District court at
Occur d'Alene of shipping liquor
into this state, without having it
properly labeled, contrary to law.
Judge Dietrich sentenced him to
pay fine of five hundred dollars
and be confined in the county Jail
lat COeur d'Alene for thirty days.
McKenna has already been con
fined in the Jail at Coeur d'Alene
for about three months awaiting
his trial. He was arrested in
this city charged with shipping
liquor. A trunk filled with liquor
was checked in Spokane for this
city. When it arrived here the
officers became suspicious and
when McKenna called for it he
was put under arrest. At his
preliminary hearing he denied
having checked the trunk and
stated that he called for it at the
request Of another party.
His trial in Occur d'Alene fol-
lowed his Indictment by the Fed
eral grand jury in the earlier part
of the week. McKenna has no
money and if he is required to
work out his fine in Jail after
serving his Jail sentence it will
mean about ten months i'm addi-
ton to the time he was confined
while waiting trial. or over a year
i'm all.
