portunity In the regular army
Many regiments Of the regular army
are now being divided into thirds. Each
third constitutes the nucleus for new
regiment--the other two-thirds being
supplied from new recruits. These new
recruits learn soldering just as the

COURT AFFrRMs DECISION.
Supreme Court Upholds Judge Willet
in Payette Case.


in Payette Case.
The ruling of Judge Willett, In the
district court. in the case of Payette.
ct al VS. Marshall county, was upheld
and affirmed by ruling handed down
by the supreme court Monday. The case
involved the attempt Of the county to
collect old unpaid fines imposed in
criminal prosecutions in liquor cases.
In 1881 John Payette was convicted
Of selling liquor illegally and was fined
s106 III one case and $50 in the other.
The fines were never paid The county
sought to collect the old fines by levy
ing against property of the estate left
by Payette, who has been dead many
years His heirs sought to restrain the
county securing an execution against
the property by applying for an injunc-
ton against the county. The injunction
was issued on order Of Judge Willett.
The county appealed. The attorneys for
the heirs set up the claim that the COL
lection of the fines was barred by the
statute Of limitations and that the col
lection Of the fines could not be inn
posed after the person fined had died.
Judge Willett took that view Of the
case, which is concurred in by the SUI
preme court.

ESTATE CASES AFFIRMED.
Claims Against Hoyt Estate Fixed BY
Supreme Court.

Two claims growing out of the es-
state of Charles J. Hoyt, amounting
to $3.50, were established in decisions
of the supreme court affirming rulings
Of Judge Willett in the district court.
One of these was the case OF Charles
Hatcher, administrator of the estate OF
Mary L. Bradford vs.. the Hoyt estate.
The claim grew out of Hoyt having
taken title to the land Of the Bradford
estate in his own name which he later
sold. The administrator of the bradford
estate brought suit for the value of tn
land 81 900 and interest. amounting to
$3.50. Judge Willett established the
claim in his ruling and the Hoyt estate
appealed.
The other case was that of Tewks-
bury VS.. the Title. Guaranty and Sure
ty Company. Tewksbury had establish
ed claim of 500 against the Hoyt
estate. TO collect it suit was brought
against he band of the administrative
Mrs Hoyt, the bond having been issued
by the Title Guaranty and Surety
Company. Judge Willett issued judg-
ment against the surety company
which appealed. Both cases were tried
two years ago

Miller Case Affirmed.

Practically the same issues involved
in the Payette case were at stake in
the case Of George Miller VS.. Marshall
county. Judge Cummings decision in
favor of Miller in the latter case was
also affirmed The action in this case
was brought by Miller to quiet title to
property along Fremont street. The
county, backed by the state, sought to
establish a lien against the property
to force payment of a fine Of $1,000
imposed against Miller more than thir-
ty years ago for illegal sales of liquor.
1t was set up for Miller that the fine
was barred by the statute Of limita-
ton and Judge Cummings so held. The
supreme court affirmed the decision
and established the rule that judgments
entered in criminal cases are subject
to the same rule that governs judg-
ments in civil cases.

To witness the decapitation of her
baby daughter, and herself narrowly
miss injury or death, was the sad and
terrible experience that came to Mrs.
Clark Lewis, of Ferguson, late Monday
afternoon, when Wanda, the 3-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis,
was instantly killed west Of the Fer

train on the Chicago. Milwaukee & st.

Mrs. Lewis, who is the wife Of a

company with her little daughter and
baby son Donald. the latter IS months

cause the passenger did not stop at
Ferguson.
The caboose was some distance west
Of the station when the train stopped,
and some boys who were passing
helped Mrs. Lewis by offering to take
her baby to the train. Mrs. Lewis and
little Wanda, the mother holding the
little ones hand, were waiting on the
front platform Of the caboose until the

pitched headlong thru the end Of the
caiboose, and the motion Of the cars
sent six Of them over the little one.
The child's head was cut off. as was
also her left arm. The only thing that
prevented Mrs. Lewis being thrown

PUT UP FRUIT
Housewives Can Combat With High
Cost Of Living by Canning Fruits Now
Sugar Does Not Materially Affect
the Cost Of Putting Up Fruit.


You probably planned on putting
up some fruit this year, do it and put
up lot too, as it is the means of COM
batting with the high cost OF living.
You will find that the cost Of sugar is
not to be considered. Sugar is the prop
er way to can fruits, and when but one
fifth Of the contents of a quart jar of
fruit is added sugar, it has been figured
that the cost this year is but " cents
more per jar than in 1912, when sugar
was unusually cheap.
Lily Wallace IL Right.
Lily Haxworth Wallace, National
President, Associated Clubs of Domestic
Science says that less than one fifth
of the contents of an average quart jar
Of canned fruit, is added sugar
It appears from the official figures
of the United States government, TAX
ing the average Of As of the leading in
dustrial cities of the United States that
ing the last five years, as of March 10,
has been as follows:
1912 "a cents pound.
1913 ga cents a pound.
1014 81 cents pound.
1915 sc cents pound.
1915 IA cents pound.
1917 81 cents a pound.
When you realize that less than one
fifth of the contents of an average
quart Jar Of canned fruit, is added
sugar. it is readily demonstrated that
the increased cost Of preserving, be-
cause of the increased cost of sugar, is
less than IL cents per quart jar more
than five years ago, when sugar was
unusually cheap.
You arrive at this deduction, by TAX
ing the average cost of sugar in 1912
5.4 cents per pound, compared with the
average cost Of sugar today at cents
pound.
When compared with the price of
sugar in 1915, the increased cost per
quart jar Of fruit, because Of the higher
cost Of sugar in 1917, is but six-tenths
Of cent per jar.
Very few housewives have thought
of the above. The figures show that
even high cost on sugar, does not ma
terially affect the cost Of putting up
fruit in jars.-Letts-F4etc Company.
