Following the arrest Saturday of two
Edgerton girls at the roadhouse known
as the Northwestern at South James
vile, Dist. Atty. Dunwiddie Tuesday
morning swore out two warrants against
Frank Williams, the proprietor. Will
liams was arraigned before Judge H.
l.. Maxfeld Monday but no date was
set forrhis examination of the disor-
derby house charge nor was date set
for his trial in the liquor law violation
sale.
The matter was up in the municipal
court again Tuesday and considerable
testimony was taken concerning the
home conduct of Henrietta Lempke and
Myrtle Bienash. BY narrow margin
the girls escaped being sent to the
state institution for delinquents.
Both received sentences but were
permitted to escape the stigma through
leniency on the part of the court and
the district attorney and were paroled.
The Lempke girl will be given in
charge of sister who stated that she
would send the girl to Milwaukee where
a brother resides. She remains under
the supervision of the court for per-
of three months
The Bienash girl was paroled to Sup
erintendent Cash Whipple at the Rock
county farm for thirty days.

IN New York, going to MeSllia Park,
New Mexico, at the opening Of the uni
versity where Mr.. Hitchcock is engaged
as professor of engineering.
High temperatures have prevailed
well into the fourth week, with ther-
mometers crowding the 100 mark at
midday most of the time. The oldest
inhabitant can scarcely recall so long a
heated term. The scorching hot sun
has prematurely ripened some of the
small grain, and on light soils has
shortened the corn and tobacco crops
and gardens and lawns have suffered
greatly from the long hot, dry spell.
"A notice of hearing before the
railway commission, published else
where in this paper, indicates the in
tention of the city of Stoughton to
purchase the water power at Stebbins-
vile, to be used as an auxiliary plant
for power and lighting in that city.
This power at Stebbinsville which has
laid idle for some years has a sufficient
head to develop considerable electric
current when the river is at normal
stage, but cannot be depended upon at
low water because of the small reser-
voir impounded by the dam. But when
connected with the water powers al

At The Liberty Theatre
THE FLYING TORPEDO"

Probably one of the most realistic
bits of imagination yet placed on the
screen is The Flying Torpedo" the
Fine Triangle story which will
be at the Liberty Theatre next Tues
day and Wednesday. 1t tells how an
eccentric detective story writer sue
ceeded in foiling, the enemies of this
country and made possible the use
of novel means of defense which
saved the nation. The story really is
an imaginary invasion of this country
in 1921. A board of defense offers
ST 100000 for the most useful inven-
ton for defense purposes. The &c
centric author suggests to friend
that an aerial torpedo governed by
wireless be perfected. The flying tor
pedo is finally perfected, meets every
test, but a band of crooks who have
been watching the tests steal the tor
pedo from the shop. The inventor
sets to work to make another torpedo,
but again the crooks foil him. He
gets killed while using the telephone.
The inventors friend then sets to
work to find the stolen torpedo. He
succeeds, and after the country has
been invaded the government manu-
features many of the aerial torpedoes
which are discharged with deadly ac-
curacy and control, and the enemy is
completely overwhelmed. The story
is full of thrills and action. John
Emerson and Spottiswoode Aitken,
both we'll known actors, have the
leading parts.

During the past few months the
United States reclamation service has
disposed of about $4,000 worth of
construction material which at one
time was used on the Boise project
There is still quantity to be sold
and bargains await those who are in
need of such material. This material
sold was used in the construction of
the Arrow Rock dam, and the pro-
ceeds of the sales have been credited
to the Boise project. Some of the ma
terial was shipped as far away as Al

A GREAT DEMAND FOR STENo-
GRAPHERS AND BOOK
KEEPERS.

Never in the eleven years history
of this school have we received SO
many calls for yong men and young
women office workers as since the
first of the year, with the result that
we are already losing many excel
lent positions because of having no
one to send.
Because of the smaller attendance
during the summer months, the short
age in the advance classes will grow
greater rather than less, and, frankly,
judging from conditions as they are
now, and the number of young men
and women we may reasonably expect
to have ready for places in the fall,
there will be two places for every ap-
plicant at that time.
We have been wondering if our let
tiers and literature have been as plain
in this regard as they should have
been. Surely there are enough young
women in Boise and Idaho who could
attend school this spring and summer
if they we're sure of good position
in the fall.
We will not trouble you with details
here, but if interested, we wish you
would call and let us talk the matter
over with you, for we are extremely
anxious to supply the demands for Of
flee help, and to do this, we should
interest at least fifty earnest young
men and women this spring.

Found Simple Remedy
That Relieved Child
Mild Laxative Compound Cor
rects Stubborn Case of
Constipation.

An important duty that devolves on
parents is the regulation of their chill
dren's bowels. Health in later life
depends in large measure on early
training and a child should be taught
from infancy to regular habits.
When from any cause the bowel be-
comes congested with stomach waste
a mild laxative should be employed to
open up the passage gently and carry
off the congested mass. A most effect
tive remedy for this purpose is the
combination of simple laxative herbs
known as DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Mrs. w. D. Bulls, of Reed, Okla, used
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin for her
baby boy, Harley Buren, Bulls, and
says TT did him more good than any
thing we have given him. His bowels
are very stubborn about acting. but
they act easily every time l give him
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin."
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin contains
no opiate or narcotic drug and is a
splendid remedy for children and older
people as we'll. 1t has been on the
market for more than twenty-five
years and is the family standby in thou
