SOLDIERS il|I|!''


At meeting of returned officers
soldiers and sailors held at the city
hall here last Saturday evening, tenn.
porary organization of the American
Legion was formed. The meeting was
attended by between thirty and thirty
five men. A. HI. Vernon, chairman OF
q committee appointed by the Board
of Commerce to get the boys together
called the meeting to order. He ex
planned the purpose of such an organi
cation, to render assistance TO the boys
as they come home; to have an organi
cation so that when they are called up
on to take part in any public affair
there will be means Of getting tc
them; to perpetuate the comradeshiI
formed in army life.
Mr.. Vernon was chosen chairman OF
the new organization by unanimous
vote and Ernest J. Carlson was elected
secretary. The former was q lieuten'
ant in the service and is now captain
in the reserve corps, and the latter was
an enlisted man in the air service. -
Loren B. Roberts Of Minneapolis,
who is taking an active part in the or
ganization Of the American Legion in
that city, was at this meeting and he
explained whatgthe organization there
has done, is doing and proposes to Go.
Chairman Vernon was authorized to
appoint such committees as he deems
advisable and the officers were author
lied to issue calls for the men to turn
out in uniforms on special occasions.
The proposed state bonus for return
ed soldiers was discussed and the or
ganization went on record as opposing
any form of bonus that would discrim-
mate against men who saw service only
in this state. It further went on rec
ord as favoring bonus based on length
of service, regardless Of where time was
spent.
It was decided to call the local or
ganization at least for the present The
Morrison County American Legion. A
national convention is to be held at st.
Louis, Mo-, May 8, 9 and 10 and after
that time something more definite will

It is the plan of the county organiza
Tion to send delegate to the st. Louis
caucus if possible and Otto Lauermann,
Archie Blake, Earl V. Wetzel, Emil
Klingberg and Louis McNairy were ap.
pointed as committee to take steps
to provide some form of entertainment
to raise funds with which to pay the
expense of sending delegate down:

ANOTHER CALIFORNIA HoLD-UP

c. 7. Lynch sends a very interest
ing clipping from a Long Beach. Calf,
paper and says thai the G. p. Cunning
ham referred to in the article is a
brother of Guy Cunningham that form
erly lived in White. The question is,
is California a safe place for South
Dakotans:
"A man who gave his name as J. j.
Brown, but who Is said TO be none
other than Henry ("Hank') Myers,
known in police circles throughout
the country. was arrested Saturday at
Third street and Locust avenue by
Detectives Mitchell and Cervantes,
who had been watching him for some
time.
"He is charged with having used
the mails in an attempt to defraud
and a story became known after his
arrest of how a bank saved $11, 500
through inadvertently failing to follow
directions and written to Long Beacn
instead of Santa Ana.
The Home National Bank of Del
Rapids, S. d., and the name of G. p.
Cunningham, a tourist from that city,
were used by Brown in his scheme.
About the first of January. it IS
said. Brown met Mr.. Cunningham on
the Pike, and proceeded to cultivate
the tourists acquaintance; that the
tourist finally became confidential and
told his new-found friend that he was
one of the solid citizens of Dell Rapids,
had credit at the bank, sold his wheat
for $500 a bushel, and was of high
standing financially In the South Da-
kota community. 1t is said that dur
ing an afternoon spent on the sands
and at a motion picture show, the con-
versation was so turned that Mr.. Gun
ningham showed Brown how he signed
his name.
1t is said that Blown then secured
stationery from a n%eighboring hotel
and wrote on it a letter, purporting to
be from Mr.. Cunniv cham, to the Dell
Rapids bank, ~inclosing a note for SILL
500, asking that the bank officials cash
it right away, as he proposed purchas.
ing an orange ranch in Southern Cali
fornia.
1.-THE letter and the note were Ie-
ceived in due course of time by the
South Dakota bank, 1t is said, but a
reply was written, advising that Mr.,
Cunningham make three notes instead
of the one large one. Blank notes
were inclosed for him to sign, and it
was stated that with this arrangement
there would be no trouble in getting
the money for him.
"In the original letter, Brown, it If
said, had advised that the answer
should be sent to Santa Ana, but the
bank officials, it seems, forgot this in
struction and sen the reply to Mr..
~Cunningham's address at Long Beach.
When Mr.. Cunningham got the letter
from the Dell Rapids bank, he was
shocked. He had drawn no notes, nor
had he planned to invest in an orange
grove. While he was considering the
situation, he received a telegram from
the bank to the effect that it had sue
ceeded in placing the original note
and that he should draw upon the bank
for 1900 through a named Long
Beach bank.
"By this time, it is said, Mr.. Gun
ningham reviewed his list of acQuaint-
ances in Long Beach, and took steps
to have Brown placed in custody.
Later a complaint was drawn by AS
sistant United States District Attor-
ney Moody, and the transfer of Brown
to the county jail followed"

Teutons in History.

The term Teuton is of Latin origin. ln ancient times the part of Europe now siAbraced in Germany was called Germania, and one of the principal tribes of the country was called by the civilized Romans Teutons, just as we speak of the Apache Indian. Being g nerce and warlike people they gave the Romans great deal of trouble, and ss they were the dominant tribe of that region the name of Teutons gradually came to be applied to all the people ocr eupylng what was called Germania.

A FAT0Nlc$$
 E FOR YOUR ACID.STOMACH )Y
DELMQUENCE OFTEN
 IS DESIGNATION OF
 FEEBLE M|NDEDNESS

A great stumbling block in the way of proper care of juvenile delinquents in some localities is the lack of ade- auate provision made by the state for the mentally deficient, according to an opinion expressed in a report or Children Before the Court in Connec- ticut, recently issued by the children's bureau, department of labor.
 The report points out that the more scientifically juvenile delinquency is studied the more evident it becomes that in a large proportion of the so. called delinquents there is a pro- nounced accompaniment of lof men, tality. "The child is backward al school, fails of promotion, gets dis couraged, loses interest in the work of the. classroom, and falls into habits of idleness, The same causes which make him fall behind in his school work render it hard for him to get, or keep, job. Unemployment gives him an opportunity to spend his time or the street and to form had associa. tions. This finally results in his ap. pearance before the court on a charge of idleness, theft, or some kindred of. fense."
 It is recommended that one of the first duties of the court should be tc roder mental examination of child whose school work is unsatisfactory Investigation discloses that only sev, en probation officers in the state in, vestigated report that an examina, ton has been made by an expert, be. fore the trial, to determine whether the child is mentally normal. Many rhildren are brought repeatedly be. fore the court before it is finally de, termined as result of mental ex. animation, that they are not respon. sible for their actions.
 The idea that probation officers arc able to keep such abnormal children out of future trouble is pronounced erroneous. Cases are turned over tt them in which it is hopeless to ex, pect improvements; and the proba- tion service in the state is lowered by the constant loading up of officers with cases of children who, on ac count of mental deficiencies, should be provided with institutional care and training. Until these unfortun. ates can be properly cared for, both the officers and institutions will con. tinue to be heavily handicapped.
 In the Connecticut Training Schoo for Predetermined, it is stated, there arc many juveniles who had been treated as criminals and sent to penal institutions before it was discovered that they were so subnormal mentally that they were not responsible for their actions. Also there are many in the state reformatory who are un- doubtedly Predetermined, and who are there simply because the state has failed to make adequate provision fol them.

COUNSEL CALLS
 COOK "C0WARD"
 AND 'HYP0CR|TE'
Asst. State Attorney Fin
 ishes Opening Argument.
EXPECT JURY TO
 GET CASE TODAY
Attorney Says, "He Is Willing To Give Scandal Mongers' Sus.
 picfon To Save Hide..

Chicago, March 6.-The fate of J. Norman Cook, on trial charged with the murder of William E. Bradway, daughter, Norma. r years old, will be placed in the hands of the jury some time tomorrow.
 Assistant States Attorney James c. O'Brien, completed his opening argu- ment to the jury today. The defend- ant, after finishing his testimony sat through the verbal dissection of him. self by the assistant prosecutor, who, although not definitely demanding the death penalty, laid emphasis on 1t ill reading the law pertaining to murder and reminded the jury that the gal lows was one of the means of punish ment they had right to inflict upon Cook should they find him guilty.
 Reyiles Witness.
 Cook heard himself called coward and "hypocrite" and Mir. O'Brien de- clared:
 There is nothing in the testimony against the character of Miss Norma Cook except that which came from the mouth of this defendant"
 It was not direct, but all insinua- tion. the prosecutor said, against the daughter Cook professed to love and wished to protect. He referred to Cooks testimony that he had received an anonymous telephone message that Norma had been seen to enter Rradways home with Bradway late at night In his testimony, however, Cook said he found nothing to con- firm the information.
 "He is willing to give scandal mon- gers suspicion to save his own hide' was the way O'Brien characterized the defendant.
 You will be asked to show sym pathy for this kind of man." continued Mfr. OBrien. "A man who brands his own daughter as a perjurer. You should not be swayed by any maudlin sympathy"
 Had No Aims.
 In completing His testimony today, Cook declared he had not armed him self in seeking Bradway on the night of the fatal encounter, August 2, 1918. when he previously testified, he- had gone to confront Bradway with let ters the latter had written to Norma, whose interest in Bradway, and his in her, Cook asserted, he was deter mined to end. The defendant explain ed that his pocket knife contained a spring, pressure on which would in- stantly open the blade By that means he said he was able to defend himself quickly when Bradway, as he contended, assaulted him and struck the first blow.
 Attorney Everett Jennings will argue in Cooks behalf tomorrow and the closing arguments are expected to be concluded in time for Judge Kersten to instruct the jury.
