Mrs. +. G.. Shafer has received the
following letter from her son, Cliff
Baker. The letter is dated January
5:
! got your nice long letter and it
sure looked good, for when fellow
is so far from home and among peo-
pie he can't understand it looks good
to see American language written out.

beer or wine, and | don't like wine
and beer is so cheap that one can
take a bath in it. So we are not very
bad off. But don't think that all

beer, for we were not brought clear

Communication
Parents and Guardians:

To Parents and Guardians:
We, the undersigned dealers in to
bacco and managers of pool halls II
the City of Emmett, take this mean
of communicating with the genera
public, and especially with the parents
and guardians of boys. In doing so
we hope to bring about a better un
derstanding as to the enforcement o.
the law relative to sales of tobacco
to minors, and relative to the ex
clusion of minors from pool halls.
We respectfully call attention tc
the difficulty we are frequently re-
quired to meet because of the inabili.
ty to tell the ages of boys who pre-
sent themselves as customers. The
boys themselves, we regret to say
will frequently misrepresent their
ages. Then, too, appearance is some
times deceptive test as to age. Boys
under 20 will sometimes appear to be
of full age; and, again boys of full
age will often appear much younger.
Owing to these facts, mistakes can
not always be avoided; and the law
will, therefore, sometimes be violated
while we have the most earnest in
tention to comply with it.
We believe that parents and guard
ians can do much to aid us in avoid
ing many mistakes. We urgently re-
quest their suggestions and co-opera-
ton. If they will but give the name
and age at our respective places of
business of any boy whose homage
is not apparent, we can give full as
surance that he will not henceforth
be received as a customer. Better
still, we suggest that the parent or
guardian call with the boy, or point
out the boy, so that he henceforth can
be identified by us.
We request your help and cooper
alton to the end that all friction may
be avoided; and your suggestions and
counsel will be greatly appreciated.
Yours very respectfully,
E. l.. HOLVERSON
FRANK KNOX.

SERVED 46 YEARS ON POLICE FORCE
William s. Doty is One of the Vster- ans of the Department.

William S. Doty, who was retired from active police duty by vote of the common council of Monday night, is Che of the veterans of the local police department. On the third of January this year he completed 46 years in the department, having served under five police chiefs and during the terms of II mayors.
 For the last year or two he has been having trouble with the large toe on his right foot and this finally be- came so serious that he took the ad- vice of his physician and presented the request for retirement upon the ground of physical disability.
 He was first appointed to the force in 1872 when Charles Whaley was chief and James Lloyd Greene was mayor. Since then his service has been continuous except for two years when democratic police committee retired him and seven other police men with known republican affilia- tions.
 At the time of his first appointment the police force consisted of clever men. He was given a night beat or the West Side which was one of the spots that called for plenty of police attention. Here he served for three years, following this with day duty for six years. and then for a short time he had an assignment that gave hin nine hours of duty from the middle of the afternoon to midnight. Q Fol IS years he had the night beat or Franklin square and Franklin street and another long term of service has been on the Broadway beat for ten ol dozen years. which was his nos recent service. In all he has made z singular record for fidelity and goot service that made him a dependable officer for whatever duty he might bt called upon to do.
 MT. Doty has been resident of thi; city since 1866. coming here after the Civil war in which he saw service ii a cavalry regiment. He was born ir the Cape Cod section of Massachu. sets, and followed the trade of ma. chinist before joining the police force
