Boys Plead Guilty
Before Judge Eldred

Three boys, whose ages range from
IL to II years. entered a plea OF
guilty to Juvenile delinquency before
Judge Kent L. Eldred in the juvenile
division of the county court at 10
o'clock this morning and were given
suspended sentence during good be.
havior.
The charge on which the boys were
ararigned before Judge Eidred was
theft. and 1t was only because the eyi-
dence against them was SO over
whelming that the district attorney
permitted the matter to be taken into
court. The parents of all the boys
reside here and are highly estimable
people. The boys themselves had
borne a good reputation until the oc
currence OF the incident which got
them into trouble.
According to the testimony submit
ted to the district attorney Saturday
evening. April 26, the three boys I'm
question visited the premises OF
James E. Mcclure at S13 River street.
and each stole chicken from the hen
house, which they carried away with
them. Early the following Monday
morning they took the chickens to the
Hoosier Market at 621 Main street,
where they sold them and put the
money In their pockets. ~
The theft of the chickens was re-
ported to the police by Mr. Mcclure
and the missing fowls were shortly
afterwards found and Identified by
the owner. Mr.. Mcclure was able
to make his identification positive for
the reason that he had a few days pre-.
vious to the theft cut off the tails of
two of the chickens in controversy for
the purpose OF meeting Just such q
| contingency as that which confronted
him. ~
On description furnished the offi-
GERS by the Hoosier Market employees
1t was an easy matter TO find the boys.
They were taken into custody and ar
raigned before the district attorney
at. the city hall, where the matter was
talked over. As a result Of an agree
ment reached at that time the boys
voluntarily presented themselves be
fore Judge Eldred this morning.

Starting in the
Cattle Business

1T requires considerable time and
money to get start, iwth large
herd, and it is not business in which
the novice should engage on large
scale without knowledge or expert
ence," says Charles !. Bray of the
Colorado Agricultural Co lege. "A
man with little capital may begin by
taking cattle to Craze in the summer.
selling them in the fall as grass fat
stun. The advantage is that no money
is tied up in breeding stock no winter
feed has to be provided and no money
has to be expended in buildings, feed
yards or equipment.
Another way to begin is to take
cattle on shares. some cattleman pro-
viding the herd and the beginner fur.
nishing the land and labor for a share
OF the increase.
"a man who is not fsIiiiiar with
the western cattle business should
work for year with some expert,
enced cattle company to learn the
business. In this way the best me-h-
DDS are learned without the losses
which result from inexperience. At
the same time money Is being OBJ
tanned which can be used in stock.

THE farmer can also stock up with
a few cows to the extent of his avail
able capital and build up his herd
gradually from this foundation by the
use OF good bulls

Pennsylvania Rubber
Co. Builds Model Town
for Use Of Employees

In common with hundreds of large
manufacturing concerns throughout
the country the Pennsylvania Rub
Der Company has, for the past two
years, faced serious shortage Of
housing facilities for its workmen.
The remarkable growth of the
makers of Vacuum Cup tires has
brought a steadily increasing army
of expert workmen to the town, with
the result that houses were soon at
a premium The rubber company
was quick to realize that it would
be necessary to take upon them
selves the necessity of furnishing
suitable homes. Accordingly they
purchased approximately l20 acres
Immediately south of the plant, upon
which they are erecting modern
homes. These homes are not of the
type commonly known as factory
houses" but are modern, commo-
dious residences of stucco and brick.
and are sold to the workmen on
such extremely liberal terms that
they are being snapped up eagerly
as soon as erected. Twelve have
already been completed and are now
occupied. Thirty-three more are in
the course of construction, and will

BIG HARVEST TO
CAUSE SERIOUS
TROUBLE TO HAUL
Huge Crop Too Large for
Railroad Facilities to
Handle; Truck to
the Rescue.

In the next few weeks the prob
lem of transportation is likely to as
sumo a very serious aspect. The
harvest, which promises to be the
largest on record, is now at hand
and the railroads will be taxed be-
yond their capacity to handle it.
The country IS getting on peace
basis that is as strenuous as at any
time during the war. The demand
for merchandise and material of all
descriptions is without parallel.
With the present deplorable situa-
ton of the railroads, through no
fault of their own, there is only one
solution possible, and that is the
use of the motor truck on an even
larger scale than during the war.
Volume of motor transportation
is the only relief available,' says R.
S. Odell of the Odell-Hamilton Co.,
distributors of Mack trucks. THE
demand for motor trucks is already
so great that the only way it will
be possible to meet it is for operat-
ors to buy the largest trucks they
can consistently operate in their
business. because one large unit will
do the work of several small ones.
Business men and manufacturers
must anticipate their transportation
needs now and act at once if they
do,~not want to suffer great losses
through Transportation DELAYS"
