AVAIL JEALOUSY CAUSE
(Fennimore Timasl

Boscobel, Wis, Oct. 29.-Wilii2na
Elliott, q barber is recovering from the
effects Of a dose of poison taken Sun
day evening, with suicidal intent. He
had come ON from Chicago three
weeks ago and had been working at
the Guernsey shop. 1t is thought that
Elliott took the poison in fit of exas-
peration or jealousy over the fact that
a young lady whom he had been pay
ing attention to had turned him down
on a Sunday evening appointment for
the reason, it is alleged, that he had
been imbiding other fluid than acid.
Elliott formerly lived in Richland

There's wreath of green at the windowpane For it's Christmas time again. And the church bells echo the glad refrain For it's Christmas time again.

.ENRICHING THE

February tenth, 1915. Mr.. Wilson
sent his strict accountability" note
to Berlin. February twelfth, 1917, he
made known his purpose to hold no
parley with the Wilhelmstrasse "un-
less and until the German govern
ment makes good on its pledge given
after the sinking of the Sussex. 1t is
evident that, whatever else may hap
pen, the European war and its COM
plications will enrich the American
vocabulary; because, in between the
dates mentioned, there have been nu-
merous other contributions to the
language, such as the too proud to
fight" phrase, and the sparks falling
everywhere" warning, and others
which will readily come to mind.

AN ESSENTIAL OF
PREPAREDNESS

Further proof of the sound economy
involved in raising the salaries of
government employees to keep pace
with the action of private concerns is
given by Senator William E. Borah
of Idaho. He attributes the great
fighting qualities of the Germans to
the fact that for the last forty years
their government has seen to it that
there were no paupers in the country
and that every man received proper
nourishment. When the call to arms
came it was answered by vigorous
men eager to meet the enemy. Eng
land, on the other hand, found that
the stamina of her fighting men had
been so undermined by long years of
poverty that the standards for enlist
ment had to be reduced.
You cannot fit a man." declares
Senator Borah, for the duties and
responsibilities of citizenship in a
great republic like this upon IN in

THE GRAND JURY REPORT

The final report Of tae grand jury
filed in the District Court Friday
evening. is. to say the least, rather
an Unusual document. The local pub
lie was awaiting its advent, perhaps
for the reason that the membership
of the grand jury. for the first time
in the history Of the county. was about
equally divided between women and
men.
The fnquisitorial body did not minee
words in stating facts that have been
patent to the ordinary citizen for the
past several months. During the pres

up with undesirable characters. This
influx has been due, in a large meas

from these communities have found
asylum in Winnemuoca and Reno,
with the result that these two cities
have had more than their usual allot-

Since the days, about the middle Of
the last century, when Charles Dick
ems wrote his fascinating novel, Lit
tie Dorritt," one of the chief func-
tons of peace officers seems to have
been to keep the undesirables "moy-
ing on" And this system is no doubt
responsible for the horde Of tramps

this is done, there will be no lasting
