Booze Brings Trouble
TO Gay Young Trio

The immoral actions of gay
young woman and two lovers would
have gone unnoticed in George
town Wednesday night had it not
been for the hilarity produced by
a bottle of bootleg whiskey, which
was poured out and drunk from
various receptacles including the
soap dish in their room in the st.
James hotel.
Mrs. Margaret Fisher, the prop
rietress. rented q room to young
couple early in the evening, sup
posing them to be man and wife.
Later another young man appeared
on the scene and attempted to
share the room. Mrs. Fisher pro-
tested unless the third party pay
extra. as the price charged was for
only two in the room. The new
conner refused and the fireworks
soon started. Mrs. Fisher at
tempted to eject the entire party
but they refused to go without a
return of their money, whereupon
Mrs Fisher threatened to "take
the law in her own hands, as she
said, and use force even to the ex-
tent of welding "the big stick"
Even this plan failed to dislodge
the young woman from her bed, SO
Mrs. Fisher carried the girls suit
case from the room, but to no
avail. When the sheriff arrived
at ABOUT 10 o'clock, all was quiet
at the ST James, all three revelers
being in bed, and even then they
were unwilling to leave without a
return of their room rent. Sheriff
Straub took them to Jail and on
Thursday they were tried before
Justice Noone on two charges
disturbance and fornication.
They gave their names as Charles
Wilson, Charles Ferguson and
Mrs. Anna Steele.
On the disturbance charge "a fine
of $40 and costs, each. was i'm
posed, amounting in all to $40.
which they managed to pay. On
the fornication charge Wilson was
released and allowed to go his way,
while Ferguson and the young
woman were bound over to the
district court in the sum of $500.
When the Steele woman was on
the stand, before a crowded court
room, she told her story of how
they had had only a half-pint of
booze and didn't realize they were
creating disturbance. Il don't
know how it is in Georgetown,
she said, "but in other towns where
[ have been you are allowed to
make little noise early in the
evening, and this whole thing
happened before 10 o'clock She
admits having husband in Chey-
enne but says she left him a year
ago. She came to Georgetown a
week ago from Denver to be en-
ployed by the Vromann woman,
ostensibly as a housekeeper, and
the young men soon followed her
to her new location.
The Vromann woman's place
will be investigated.
Deputy District Attorney R. G..
Smith prosecuted the case. After
it was all over the Steele woman,
who is really only girl and quite
handsome, told Judge Noone that
he was the incest little judge she
had ever met, and she thot well of
Prosecutor Smith, too.
Mrs. John Morris returned to
her home near Golden last Sunday,
after visiting few days with her
son Paul, who is here taking the
baths and rapidly recovering from
a severe attack of rheumatism.

has been caused by the appearance Of

that the cotton production has suf-
fered seriously, or to the extent Of 81
per cent The whole cotton region
was recently inspected by August
Busck, of the Department of Agricul-
ture in Washington, who found that
only the Laguna district was affected,
and advised the government that the
only effective method which has
given the desired results was not to
plant cotton in the affected district
for at least two years, and if possible
for three years. He stated that he
was sure that the worm had been
imported from Egypt when the last
shipment of seed came from that
country for use in Mexico.
Mr.. Busck also advised that the re-
naming seed either be fumigated or
destroyed to avoid further infection In
other districts, and that for three
years, the soil in the affected dis
trict could be used to planting corn,
wheat and other cereals

Turing the last thirty days there
has been a succession of arrivals at
I"Atlantic ports" of American mill
tary officers and other observers who
have been in France for a month o.
more gathering material for use in
the training of our vast armies now
being prepared for foreign service.
! All of these, when questioned, de-
cline to state any of the things they
hope to teach the American soldiers,
but, practically without an exception,
i all speak of the great and growing
strength of the Britihh military es-
Establishment.
The facts in regard to the strength
Of the British has, indeed, been some
what obscured by the events in Rus.
sia and the Italian campaign, but.
taken in connection with what is
now taking place in America, they
are decisive of the result of the war.
England is aroused as she has not
been aroused since the Napoleonic
wars. and is pouring forth her blood
and treasure with a determination
w1rthy of what that great nation
showed during the twenty years
strife with the Corsican conqueror
In every branch of the service the
English are now superior to the Ger
ans on the western front. Tn the
matter of artillery their strength is
at least as to 2, and, while the Ger
mans are gradually growing weaker,
the English are growing stronger ev-
cry day.
The British soldiers at the front
are more efficient, better fed, better
armed and better led than the Ger
man armies opposite them. The Brit
ish reserves are far more numerous
than those of the Germans. There
can be no doubt of the rebuilt of 4
war that will unite the strength of
Great Britain, France and the United
States for he great forward move

The Strength of The British

of Flanders and Northern France.
Figures in regard to the British
military establishment are based
chiefly upon estimates, but the esti
mates of those best in pohition tc
know conform so closely that they
may be considered as very nearly ac-
curate. According to the best esti
mates the British now have 1900
600 men on the fighting line in
France and Flanders and 100000 ir
reserve in France. 1t is from these
reservoir that troops were selected to
gr to Italy. If it be accepted that
2cC, 900 British soldiers have been
sent to Italy the total fighting
strength of the British army in
France would be 100000 men on
the first fighting line and 100000 in
reserve.
/ This by no means tells the whole
story. The British strategy is to
maintain an army ah large as can be
conveniently used in France and t.
repienish it with troops held in
England as rapidly as called for. II
Great Britain has from 100000 tc
100000 highly trained troops in
France, it is estimated that she has
we'll in excess of 100000 more in
training in Great Britain, and this
does not include the British troops
in Mesopotamia and Saloniki
The numbers here mentioned are
enormous and the quality of the
troops is beyond all praise. English
Irish, Scottish and Welsh, Canadians
Australians and New Zealanders thu
holders Of the British empire are
ready for fight to the finish. Lore

column bi-weekly, published at Waco,

able in it's makeup and editorial work
and packed full of matter 'of timely

Brief items of real news from the

Exhibit Offered by Toledo Commerce

vember meeting of the Wauseon
