RETAIN BANDITS CASH.
Court To Make Final Disposition Of
Money Found On Members of Bur-
zstte oans-About $1,000 Taken From
outlaws--Mrs. Burxette May Not
Recover.

Sioux City, July 26.-Money, taken
by the police from Jim Davis and Tex
Maynard. wounded members of the
Burzette gang OF gunner, will be re-
tanned by Police Commissioner Mann
until the district court takes some ac-
ton as to It's disposition. Approx
mately ss.4oo was found on the two
men.
Only few dollars was found on
the body of Red" Burzette, leader Of
tire outlaws.
Mr.. Mann said in his opinion Mrs.
BurZette would be unable to recover
any Of the money by the proceedings
which she started Tuesday night in
probate court in which she alleged
less than $1,000" belonged to her hus-
band
He said he believed Frank West,
farmer of Window, Mimi, from whom
the outlaws stole 100 cases of whisky
a month ago, could recover the money
by law suit.
1--WE know that the whisky was sold
for approximately $4,000, each member
of the gang getting about $780," said
Mr.. Mann.
IF Mr.. West goes into court l be-.
lieve he can get the money that was
found on Davis and Maynard. With
out a doubt 1t was obtained from the
sale Of the whisky. I understand he
will make an attempt to recover at
least a part of lit. Mrs. Burzette has
no chance to get any of the money, as
none of it was found on her dead
husbands body.
Mr.. Mann said police had nothing
to do with the search of Burzette's
clothes.
1--WE feel certain that Maynard for
some reason had Burzette's roll %
money" the commissioner said. "Po-
lice found two rolls Of money~on his
person when they searched him at the
hospital. In one there was little
more than s1,1O0. and in the other
about $3.50. 1 think the large roll be-
longed to Burzette. Davis had about
$500. This was just a little less thar
his share of the split on the profits of
the West whisky"

"Y" Conducts Sea Coast Resort.

correspondence Associated Press.1
London, July 1-Americans who find
the cost of vacations so high that they
cannot afford this year to go to the
mountains or seashore will be inter
ested in the way in which the Young
Mems Christian Association is at
tempting to solve the problem in Eng
land.
Sea side profiteers have made the
vacations so expensive for the average
English family that thousands who be-
fore the war sought recreation on the
east coast of England were unable to
do so this year. The hotels have
jumped their prices to unheard Of fig
ures.
The Y. NJ. c. A. is offering these
coast resorts a; s4.20 week for each
person and 1t proposes to furnish
nurses and Accommodations for chill
dren so that mothers can have a real
holi day.
To accomplish this the association
rented hotel at Felixtown and an
other at Southbend and established a
tent camp at Herene Bay, equipping
them with such furniture as 1t was
able to obtain quickly. All valuables
must be left at home and only old
clothes can be worn.
No charge is being made for chill
dren less than one year old and re-
duced prices are quoted for those OF
less than eight years. This permits
a family in ordinary circumstances to
enjoy the holiday season at much the
same price as prevailed before the
war
Y. N. C. A. leaders are planning to
extend their vacation Accommodations to
other shore resorts and to use for the
purpose two military camps.

Aid In Self.Mastery.

1t Is a good practice for people to
make practice ot doing something
every day for their development. that
they don't want to do, and then to
deny themselves every day something
they want. This should not be for
day, a week or year. but life work.
In no other way can a man become
master of himself.-Dr. ]. ii. Telden.

MAY BUY ARMY FOOD.
Offer Of Mayor Thompson TO Purchase
Government Surplus Discussed by
Waterloo Citizens - Retail Dealer
Questions Price Benefit.

Waterloo, July 26-That Waterloo
should take advantage in some manner
Of the governments offer to sell sur
plus army foodstuffs, was the opinion
Of several prominent men today in
reference to an article in the quoting
letters to Mayor R. c. Thompson and
the Waterloo Commercial club.
In the face of the high cost and
scarcity of all sorts of food the people
should be given the benefit of these
surplus stores, by all means" Is the
way one citizen expressed it. at is al
so a patriotic duty" he said, for the
cities to take hold of the distribution
in order that the food will be absorb
ed thruout the country without dis
turbing conditions by dumping it in
too great quantities anywhere. 1t will
be a national scandal if any part Of it
is spoiled or wasted.
Undoubtedly there are hundreds of
families in this city who have not had
a piece Of bacon in the house for more
than a year. II the government has
millions Of pounds Of good bacon on
hand which can be sold for "a cents,
these people surely ought to have the
opportunity Of buying it." he conclud-
ed.
A retail dealer was not So sanguine
of benefit to the consumer thru the
governments plan OF disposing OF
these surplus supplies. He pointed out
that the quotations in carload lots was
little or no less than the same articles
can be purchased wholesale now, and
some of them are higher than retail
prices at the present time. Whether
the city handles the distribution or a
business organization reasonable
amount must be added for freight,
clerks, and handling. With this added
cost the price to consumers would not
be anything like the bargain" neces-
sary to move the stuffsquickly.
Another merchant stated that while
it was unquestionably desirable that
the products be consumed by the CT
william population, there was but one
method of handling the project sue
cessfully. He suggests that the pur-
chase be financed by the guarantee OF
a number of citizens and that when
the goods arrive every dealer Of food
products be invited to take SO much Of
the shipment as he thought his trade
would absorb. a certain per cent to Dc
added to the cost to cover handling,
and a small margin might be fixed ty
a committee, all prices to be uniform.

low 80 cents this season. Strawberry

Farmers are elated. Many Of Thorn

The packers, when the strawberry
season was over, sent their employees

Chicago, July 2s.-Corn-Final prices
showed a slight loss for July, fractional
gains for September and December.
Trade was light and mainly in the way
of evening up operations over the week
end holiday. Some rains fell in the
Canadian and American northwest but
the big corn belt was still hot and dry.
Local showers and cooler weather are
predicted, however, In the next TWEEN
ty-four hours, but the trade in general
was disposed to go slow pending def
mite results in this direction. The
weekly weather forecast indicated gen.
eral local showers in the early part Of
next week. with fair weather and prac-
tically seasonable temperatures there
after.
Oats-Oats were unsettled, the near
by delivery being inclined to sag,
while December maintained stubborn
undertone and gained little ground.
The bulk Of the business is apparently
going into the later months on account
of uncertainty over the Immediate
movement. Threshing returns are
little better than expected in some Sec
tons but the grain is testing somewhat
light in weight.
Provisions - Provisions were duh

Where Is TSschen7

This is the latest breakfast-table
problem. Although the town has fig.
ured prominently in European history
at various times for over a century.
Lloyd George had to confess, when 1t
was mentioned at the peace confer
ence, that he did not know exactly
where it was situated.
Nor was he alone in his lack Of
knowledge. 1t Is doubtful If one per-
son In fifty would be able to give you
any information about the town.
And yet 1t was once the scene Of a
great peace conference.-the Of ITO,
when Vergennes, the foreign minister
Of France, arranged the peace of
Teschen, thereby avoiding a great Eu-
rOpean war, and also, In all probabll.
Ity, securing the independence Of the
United States.

For Success In Business.

Wealth is, after all, only what is
produced by us, either by mental or
physical labor. It stands to reason,
therefore, that If a man would become
rich in this worlds goods, or In knowl.
edge of things or men, he must work
hard and long to acquire such knowl-
edge and skill. And he will be reward
ed In proportion to his work. Despite
n lucky stroke occasionally here and
there in a mans life, am firm be-
lever In the motto that nothing really
comes by chance to a man which Is of
much value beyond the ordinary.
Success has usually been prepared
for, striven for. helped onward by his
own innate ability, work, or tact in
ways the exterior world often failed
to recognize. Hard work is the best
friend any man ever embraced.
would say to all youthful beginners
in business that business Is like the
land-the more you put into 1t the
more you will get out. If you put
nothing in, you will get precious little
out; If you tend 1t In desultory fash
lon, you can only expect an Indifferent
harvest, If any at ALL Exchange.

GIVES CAT PALM OF WISDOM
Writer In California Newspaper Gomez
Forward With Loud Praise
Of Household Pet.

1t Is often a subject for discussion
as to which is the wisest animal.
Some say 1t Is the dog and some are
In favor of the horse, while scientists
appear to think it is the elephant.
We beg to differ with all these
views. We do not even agree to the
movement In certain quarters to give
the palm for wisdom to the fox. To
our mind the wisest animal that lives
Is the cat. And, If 1t goes to that, we
are willing to have 1t further known
that of all animals we like the cat
the best.
A cat is so wise that 1t succeeds in
not letting US know how wise 1t really
Is. If you will be friendly with cats
and that's an easy thing to dO-you
will be astounded at their wisdom. And
you could not imagine how afrectionate
a cat can also be.
There is an old yellow cat up in the
VerdugO hills that we wouldn't trade
for all the dogs and horses and ele-
plants outside of Barnum's circus.
When the last of his nine lives de-
parts from the earth those mountains
will be very lonely place for us.--Los

HORSES IN ANCIENT BATTLE
Seem to Have Been Little Used Except
to Carry the infantry Into
the Fight.

In the old days when the Romans
and Greeks fought furious battles, the
charioteers drove their cars in all
directions. hurled their javelins, and
by the din and clatter of horses
and wheels commonly threw the
ranks Of the enemy into disorder,
and, making their way among the
squadrOns of the enemy's cavalry,
leaped down from their charIots and
fought on foot. The charloteers then
withdrew. little by little, from the fight,
and placed their chariots in such way
that II they were hard pressed
they could readily retreat to their own
side. Thus in battle they afforded the
mobility Of cavalry with the steadE
ness of infantry. Daily practice en-.
abled them to pull up their horses at
full speed when on a steep slope, or
to run out on the pole and stand on
the yoke, and to get nimbly back into
the chariot.
With the Introduction of cavalry
in the later iron age came larger
horses, but their use for this pur-
pose seems to have been restricted
to isolated areas. There is no doubt
that the west German tribes, as
late as the campaign of Caesar In
Gaul, used only the shaggy pony. 1t
is said in cavalry actions they held It
disgraceful and slothful to use any
kind of saddle, and instead of charg.
Ing In squadrons they dismounted and
fought on foot. AS far as England Is
concerned, the art Of riding seems to
have been introduced by the Normans.
The Saxons appear to have been but
Indifferent horsemen.
