reform school, A year ago the boy

having stolen some chickens and SELL
ing them. He was committed to the
reform school at that time but his SEN
| tence was suspended during good be-
havior. Lately the boy was caught
dealing in other peoples chickens

tence was released 9by the court It
took the windsand speed of the sheriff
and's his deputy and the Ford car to

Fort Dodge.
Fort Dodge has ITS own Luther Bur-
bank who may eclipse the original in
| one experiment at least. Crossing a
bush with a. bush or q plant. with a
plant to obtain some unheard Of fruit
is a common. occurrence, but the cross
ing Of a plant with bush Is the
achievement Of the Fort Dodge man.
Two years ago George F. Johnston,
| secretary and manager Of the Pyrolin
Products Company, managed to graft
a strawberry plant with small rasp-
berry bush by scraping and binding
the roots together. After many unsuc-
cessful experiments he finally sue
ceeded in obtaining bush about
eighteen inches high with leaves Of
the strawberry plant but with the
| raspberries about the size Of straw
berries. The new fruit is more sour
| in taste than the raspberry.
Fort Dodge.
Failure to investigate her neighbors
caused Mrs Dals Cole. formerly Of
Eagle Grove, to clash with the city au-
| thorities. Had she looked over her
neighbors carefully, she would have
chosen another location and might
possibly have kept out Of police court
| a few days longer at least. Mrs. Cole
and other inmates paid $25 fines. Ms.
Cole was brought before the court on
a charge of disorderly conduct, which
| consisted of running a house Of Ill
fame. She moved into Fort Dodge from
Eagle Grove only two days ago: and
moved next door to Chief of Police
NJ. j. Jordan. When an auto awakened
him at a. m. Wednesday night Jor-
dan noticed that it stopped in front of
the car was still there. Friday night
| ened by another car and the shouts Of
the occupants, who entered the Cole
residence. Jordan called several Of his
! men and raided the place.
Sioux City.
Some Of the milkmen supplying the
city are adding water to the milk which
they peddle on Sunday with the idea
that every little bit helps in adding
to the profits. said w. D. Hayes, city
food and dairy inspector. They do
this because it hasn't been my prac-
tice to work on Sunday" said Mr..
Hayes. II see now that I'll have to
give up going to church and correct
the evils of the milkmen instead. ]
received telephone call from a
woman, who said. don't see why 1t
is, Mr.. Hayes. but the milk get, from
the milkman on Sunday seems thinner
| and furnishes less cream than the
i IlpiiEh ] receive CT week days I told
| the woman would Immediately In
vestigate the case, and / think I will
catch the offender. There Is no ques-
| tion in my mind but what this particu-
lar milkman is increasing his produc-
ton Of milk on Sunday by adding
water, and is doing It because he
knows the city does not inspect milk
on Sunday. OF course this practice is
not at all general, but there are a few
instances where interruptions milk
men Yill never miss an opportunity to
put one over on the public. i hope |
shall be able to catch one of them,
and l will penalize him in a way that
will be a warning to ld-be offend
ers in the FUTURE
