.H|CKERS HELD AS
GERMAN SPIES

State Center people will rememb-
passed Through here, walking from
Chicago to California, having with
them small baby, nicely done up
in furs and being taken overland in
a little cart. 1t seems from reports
received in this city and also from
stories appearing in the Omaha pa
pers that this couple is in serious
trouble and both are being held. in
Omaha, where they have been lock-
ed up by the federaI authorities.
The couple had a cart with them,
in which the babe was riding. 1t
seems that this cart had false
bottom and between the two bot
TOMS were hidden prints and picture
of bridges taken EN- route, also the
location of wagon roads leading to
each bridge.
When examined ait Omaha the
OFFICERS found these prints and pict-
ures and have confiscated them and
are holding the travellers prisoners.
The people spent a might in this
city, leaving early the next morning
for the west. They were supposed
to, travel on an average seventeen
miles per day, but they were six
days coming here from LeGrand and
Boone people saw them in Ogden
the might after they left that city.
having travelled only nine miles
When ONE of the men asked the
woman why they had not gone farth
er, she didn't reply promptly and
gave some lame excuse. The man
who questioned her now suggests
that probably they spent much time
getting information and data about
bridges in that vicinity.

AN EX-EX|RA PREACHER
IN A DILEMMA

He takes the wrong stachel and
secures pint of old rye.
An amusing incident occurred at
the passenger depot not many even
ings ago, at @ station.
An Adams county preacher, wife
and children got off of No. 2 to-
wait for No. IL as the former
passenger train did not stop at their
town. ........
Desiring to go up town they
sought to leave their grips in the
ticket office and had obtained per-
mission when the wife happend to
think that the children might want
something to eat and so said, "John
get some lunch out of the grip,
for the children may become hungry
before we can get them (the grips)
out. ...... ;.
John opened one of the grips i'm
mediately and shut it with Slam,
but not so quick but what a
party standing by had seen a flask
of whisky lying on top of the com
tents of the grip.
With look of surprise the
husband said, MARY this is not our
satchel' ......
why John can it be that you
/! have made mistake"
Yes" said John, s'for there is
bottle of whisky in this one"
! "Oh John, what shall we doy?''
exclaimed the bewildered' wife.
| The mi9ister then explained the
situation to a railroad official who
telegraphed the conductor of No. 2
| to secure the grip on the train
and ascertain to whom the grip here
should be sent.
t In a short time the dispatch
came that the grip would be returnla
and that the satchel here should
be sent to Reverand Creston
Iowa. 1t was sent and all are happy
now in the possession of their owl
property.

ANOTHER WORD ABOUT
UTILIZING HIGHWAYS

With ALL possible speed plant thosa
things that can withstand frosty
nights for we will probably have a
few more of them, not many how
ever for the season is getting late.
But whether more or less keep
an eye open for that little plat of
ground on which to grow some
vegetables If the plat should happen
to be along a highway, see the
SUPERINTENDENT of the district, and
get his consent to plow it up and
plant it to potatoes or something
some family cam eat next winter w
have a shortage of food and need
every pound of life-giving grain
and vegetables that can be raised
by anybody who has time to dIo so
You remember that nice strip Of
ground that was growing such big
you saw as you were coming hom
from Browns the other evening
There was probably about an acre or
two in the piece. Well that is not
far out and if you will get permls-
sion as we before suggested it will
he ali easy matter to get it plowed
and narrowed and providence will
help you secure the seed. You can
cut them up if potatoes, one eye
to piece before school in few
mornings and after school you can
borrow somebody's wheel barrow
and with line and hoe the
plat can soon be planted. You can
cultivate an acre with hoe dur
ing the summer in your leisure time
Then imagine yourself next fall
with hundred and fifty bushels
OF potatoes, enough for the use of
three or four large families for a
year ahead and yourself with a
hundred dollars to the good while
other school boys have been idle.
Try it boys. The war is on. You
must either go to- the army OR raise
something for your school mate or
your neighbor to eat who has gone.

Joe. 1 didn't meant to do it Five
years ago ran a nail in my foot and
bought a bottle of bichloride of mer-
curry tablets as a disinfectant wash.
The tablets left over I had forgotten
all about, but my wife must have
put them in the medicine closet.
a'The baby had been crying day
and night, and 1 know she was on
the verge of a nervous breakdown.
She must have taken the tablets
while temporarily insane. About fif-
teen minutes after she did il she must
have realized what she had done, for
she went next door and told Mrs.
Elliott Murray. Mustard and hot
water were given her. There was
no milk in either house and in the
excitement no one thought to send
out for some, so ! understand. When
