NO CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS OTHER

DO you know that there hasn't
been single complaint fled in this
county for criminal action other than
violation OF the liquor laws since
the county went dry?" said Pros.
n Attorney Moriarty to a reporter
Nor The Diamond Drill one day dur
fing the week. Il think that the rec
ord is certainly worthy OF mention. 1t
is the first time In the history OF this
county that eight months have passed
without some criminal complaint be-
ing filed and most of the time there
have been several complaints Tor
serious crimes filed in the county
each year. We have had no cuttins,
fighting, shooting nothing OF the
order that generally emanated from
the saloons, and / think that the
people ought to know OF this excel
lent showing"
Docket COrroborates Statement.
An inspection OF the criminal dock
et OF the county court corroborates
The statement OF Mr.. Moriarty. Only
one case is found there other than
the numerous cases for liquor law
violations and that is a statutory case
that originated outside Of the coun-
ty.
- There are a lot Of liquor violation
cases but they have been brought TO
the court mainly through the actiyi-
tiessyJfrthe staye constabuliry so that
lie expense to the county in these
cases has not been great.
Taken as whole one may safe
Nv saw that the expenses OF the po-
lice court OF Iron county will not be
+ more than half OF what 1t has been
In the past. and II 1t wasn't for the
fact that there Is SO much activity
in whiskey running the expenses
would be no more than nominal--tus'
upkeep and the sheriff's salary.

He WENT TOO FAR
Baby Elephant Suffered for His
MiSChevouS Prank.
Trick That Was Too Much for Moth
eTs Patience to Endure Reward
ed by the Equivalent to a
Sound Spanking.

In recent exchange it Is stated
that elephants are amazingly like hu.
man beings in the way they discipline
their young. In proof it tells an anus
ing incident seen by French traveller
in an extensive lumber yard in Burma.
While the adult elephants were
faithfully at WORK the youngsters
played about the yard. The elephant
that attracted the travellers particu-
lar attention was hauling, in her chain
harness, huge tree trunks from the
load, a fact that her offspring did not
realize. Bent on playing a prank, he
wound his little trunk around one of
the chain traces and pulled back with
all his strength.
Conscious of the suddenly increased
weight, the mother stopped and looked
around. She saw the youngster and
shook her head solemnly, but, paying
no further heed to his teasing, bent
again to her work. Meanwhile the
little rascal with his mischievous trunk
had loosened the ring that fastened the
traces to the load.
While the mother was straining to
set her burden in motion again, her
rascally son pulled with all his
might against her, and pulled so
sturdily that she was quite unaware
that she had been disconnected from
her load. Then, suddenly, the young
ster let go. Naturally enough, the
mother was thrown to her knees and
her driver hurled in wide circle from
her back.
The culprit sought a huge wood-pile
that seemed to offer him at least
temporary protection. His mother,
with her iron harness changing noisily
behind her, kept close at his heels.
Although the little ones greater
agility gained some space for him at
the corners, his mother eventually
overlook him. The first blow of her
trunk drew from him "A bawl of pain.
At the second he sank. quite humbled,
to his knees; and then he endured
without a murmur, although with
many tears, a sound thrashing. Finally
the mother let him up. With tears
still streaming and with dropping trunk
he took his diSconsolate way out of
the yard.
The little fellow had won the COM
plete sympathy of the observer Con-
sequently he was overjoyed to witness
during the noon hour "A touching rec
onciliation. The mother did all she
could to comfort the penitent little
sinner; she caressed him with her
trunk, cuddled him up against her, and
looked at him as If to say You still
have a mother who loves you.'-Our

DOGS in a Different World.

1t is widely known that fishes and
other lower vertebrates possess numer-
GUS types of sense organs quite un-
like anything in our own bodies, and
it is quite impossible for us to form
any conception of what the world APP
pears like to these animals except in
sofar as their sensory equipment Is
similar to our own.
Even the companionable dog, who
responds so sympathetically and in
telligently to our moods, lives in .
very different world. Recent expert
ments have shown that his sense of
vision is very imperfect, especially for
details of form. and everybody knows
the inconceivabIe delicacy of the
hounds sense of smell. With us vision
is the dominant sense, and our nell
tai imagery is largely in terms of
things seen. Even a blind man will
say, 81 see how 1t is," when he COM
prehends a demonstration.

He explains the game to her as it
progresses by means of II conversa-
tional code.
when l was twelve years old" she
said, "the Giants were winning the
pennant, and my father was tremen-
dOusly excited about it. OF course l
asked him to explain, and he took a
piece of cardboard and drew dia-
mond on 1t, marking the bases. While
he told me about the game | traced
the diagram out with my fingers until
l got the thing visualized In my mind.
Then l went to the games with him
and soon learned to understand them
by means of our code, usually eN-
pressed in monOsyllables, word AT II

ers and, like others present, to get all
wrought up over team work and bril-
liant individual performances"
In this way the blind girl came to
know the stars of the baseball world.

including Benny Kauff, Ross Young

Richest of Nations
In the world. The capital per head Of
the population, according to Professor
Stamp, was, before the war:

All these figures must be consider
ably inflated to obtain the current
years capital and Income, but the in
crease would certainly be biggest in
the case of the United States, which
could boast at least treble its prewar
wealth.
The thrifty habits of the French ma
ton were reflected, said Professor
Stamp, in n capital Of S1,515 per head,
while Italy and Australia had only s640
and S6O5, respectively. He computes
Japan's capital at $4,000, ,OO0, 900, or on
a per capita basis, 1920 capital. and $50

flames got beyond the control Of the
German firemen and the West Pointers
and the doughboys were summoned by

them. The Americans fought the fire
until daylight, when 1t was brought
under control.
The blaze was confined to one block.

far western state.
Miss Nellie Grant Is sponsor for the
movement and has written to Gov. Il.
d. Carey for his assistance in starting
a woman's colony far from the hnunts
of man. In making her unique request,
Miss Grant stated that the party Will
be made up of twenty, of whom ten
are employed in a watch factory, seven
are housekeepers, two are nurses and
one is school teacher.
All are dissatisfied with their lot and
assert that the future holds forth
nothing that Is sufficiently encourag-
Ing to warrant their remaining at
home. They believe that they can
make a success of farming and would
like to obtain a section of land, GAO
acres, in some unsettled region, far
from n railroad and little frequented
by man.

ming executive tract in southwest

Not Responsible.

His most intimate friend was to be
married and insisted that he perform
the ceremony. After much persuasion
the Justice consented and the affair
went on smoothly until the last inter-
rogation, do you take this woman to
be your lawful welded wife?" was
asked in a pathetic tone.
81 do" was the response.
"Then 1 pronounce you man and
wife, but remember, Jack, you asked
me to do this. Don't ever blame me
for IT."

Although Miss Harris was born

with her wherever she goes, for she is
cheerful and optimistic. She is fond
of the outdoors and eXcels in walking.
swimming and dancing. She is an ac-
complished pianist, speaks French flu
emily and during the war was volun-
teer worker for the Y. w. c. A.
Rooter for the Giants.
It may be added that Miss Mildred
this year is betting on the Giants, but
the fact is she has always been a
"rOoter' for, the Giants. More than
once, however, she had lost money on
them. but is hoping that she will be
lucky enough to get some of it back
this year. She feels 1t Sin her bones"
that nothing can head the Giants Off
this year.
The ball game is the one place she
can go where she can throw aside for
mality and do just as she pleases, and
for this reason it is her greatest recre-
alton.
You see" she explains, you don't
have to be subdued and self-repressed
but can holler your head off if you
want to, and nobody pays any atten-
tion. When the game is not going just
right to suit everybody pandemonium
reigns and the whole crowd is in
state of frenzy. 1t certainly Is great
sport"
Miss Harris modestly says she has
been given credit for having converted
many others into fans. She talks base
ball enthusiastically to her friends and
acquaintances and naturally they be
come interested and follow the crowd
to witness the great American game.

THE PASSING THRONG

The editor hereof is unalterably opposed
to Negro segregation either in church, in
political or municipal affairs, and when
ever it is done the final settlement OF the
alleged race problem in this country will
be retarded just that much and for a GER
tain length of time. But few weeks ago,
on the contrary, however, we published an
article herein telling how well colored
community in this city is getting along and
what fine showing it makes, and yet all
such is but vainly endeavoring to erect
black home on white foundation, which
"can't be did, It is utterly impossible for
a white and black race to live without
friction in the same territory, land or
country. For the good Of our institutions
the black folks should be scattered among
the whites. and. if so. they (the blacks)
would sooner adopt the ways and customs
Of the whites and lessen the danger Of
friction between them All cities in the
North. East and West of this country that
have black belts are always in more or
less danger of race riots. It is due to the
fact that the whites and blacks know little
or nothing of each other and each mistrusts
the other and thereby springs up wall Of
color prejudice.
It is an undeniable fact that the fore
most Negroes in the United States even
before and since the emancipation, are
mixed -offsprings of white and
black parents 1t is further fact that
the colored persons of this country who
accomplish the most and who reach the
highest strata in their acquired civilization
are those who come in immediate contact
with the leading white men and women.
Those, if you please. who have as their
neighbors the most influential white men Of
their respective communities. In order for
the colored man to be able to meet the
emergencies of the future. when neither
color nor creed will be considered. he must
do things as do white men. Now when and
where, if ever the amalgamation of the
white and black folks will begin after all
this higher state of civilization has been
attained by the black man is question
for the future to SETTLE
It is difficult for westerners to under
stand the race riots which have occurred
in Washington and Chicago for the reason
that we have no race problem here There
are many colored men living in Seattle to
be sure but the most of them are educated
