Captain Matlack
Knows No Fear
Battling Owls Make
Kansas Streets Unsafe

Republic, Kan.-The streets
of this town are unsafe for
pedestrians after dark on ac-
count of the nightly battles be-
tween large fiocks of owls. Re-
naming in the trees during the
day, they swarm about like To-
Gusts at night and have become
so numerous and vicious that
they attack human beings. 1t Is
unsafe for women and children
to venture out after dark.
In several instances persons
have been struck on the head
and rendered unconscious. One
woman was painfully hurt by a
direct attack from an owl which
she had tried to ward off with
an umbrella.
Steps are being taken by the
authorities to rid the city of its
strange pests. Such q condition,
1t Is said, was never known here
before, although owls have al
ways been numerous In this sec
ton of the state.

Learns at 70 Two Can't
Live Cheaper Than One

Santa Rosa.-"You can't beat
this high cost of living nohow,"
says John Boroquez, seventy
years old, who on September q
married Adeline Young, aged
sixty-four, keeper of boarding
house, on the theory that two
could live cheaper than one.
They agreed to divide the pro-
ceeds from the boarding house.
Boroquez asked for his share
of the profits. The thrifty bride
refused and started for the bank
to deposit the coin. BOroquez
went to the newspapers and had
inserted a notice that he had left
his bride and would not be re-
sponsible for any debts contract
ed by her.

Drawn by National Committee
for 1920 Drive Against High
Living Costs.
MAKE aBUDGET, COMES FIRST
Keep Tab on Expenditures Have

mandments.

ST. Iouis.-Ten commandments Tor
the guidance of a mans financial life
have been drawn up by a national
committee of bankers and others to
aid In the great drive of 1920 against
the cohorts of high cost of living.
This decalogue for the frugal man
to stifren his morale in battle to save
something from the profiteers and rent
raisers is part of the program for the
National Thrift week, to begin Janu-
airy II next.
Plans for rallying the armies or
money savers for the 1920 drive oy
holding this Thrift week were ap-
proved by the American Bank
ers' association in its recent conven-
ton in this city. The idea already

The ten commandments as recon-

section of the American Bankers as

/. Make a budget.

3. Have q bank account.
4. Carry life insurance.
5. Make q will.
@. Own your home eventually.
7. Pay sour bills promptly.
s. Invest in War Savings stamps
and other government securities.
o. Spend less than you earn.
10. Share with others. Thrift with
out benevolence is doubtful blessing.
The eight days of the National
Thrift week have been named after
some points of the financial creed, as
follows:
Saturday. January 17-"Bank day"
or "National Thrift day." to empha-
size the need for individual thrift and
the service a bank renders a COM
munity.
Sunday, January 1S-"Thrift Sun
day." with sermons In all American
pulpits on the relation of economic
life to religious well-being and the
need of sharing with others.
Monday. January EDUCATIONAL In

protecting ones family.
Tuesday, January 20-"Own Your

own home.
Wednesday, January 21-"Make a

Thursday, January 22-"Thrift in

Daring Cavalry Leader Is Terror
to Bandits on Mexican
Border.
ANSWERS THREAT With SHOT
Ability for Coping With Banditry Led
to Speedy Promotion From Ser
aeant to Captain During
Four Years.

San Antonio, Tex.-Capt. Leonard
J. Matlack, commander of Company
X, Eighth United States cavalry, is to-
day the most feared American that
Mexican bandits have encountered on
the Texas border. He is feared more
than the Texas rangers, who for years
were the only official guardians of the
peace in that remote country. His
men are Of the fighting, daring type,
but Captain Matlack's desire to go 1t
alone when handling difficult situa-
tons has struck terror to the hearts
of Mexican evildoers who are learning
not to commit offenses in country
where he is known to be stationed.
When Captain Matlack went to
Candalarla, Tex, four years ago, he
was a sergeant. Ee took station with
has company at small, isolated COM
munity on the banks Of the Rio
Grande. They soon found themselves
In a hotbed of banditry, which Mat
lack determined must be cleared.
Matlack Clever and Daring.
Matlack found that the leader of the
bandit crew In San Antonio was Chico
Cano, a former captain In the Carran-
"a army. Matlack visited San Antonio
alone at different times and met Cano,
informing him that unless he ceased

sudden death. 1t was not long after
that Cano attempted a raid and got
several hundred cattle. Matlack took
up the trail, recovered the cattle, killed
Cano and drove the cattle back into
Texas.
In like manner he met and killed a
brother of Jesus Renterias, the BAN
dit leader who held the aviators, Davis
and Peterson, in captivity, pending the
payment of ransom money. 1t was
Matlack who outwitted the Mexican
bandits when he went alone TO rescue
Peterson and Davis and escaped with
half the ransom money, inviting death
for himself and the avlators.
The courier-index., 1919-11-21
Takes Long Chances

On one occasion Matlack and his men
were surrounded by an overwhelming
force of Mexicans. Instead OF maxi
ing stand to fight, as the bandits ex-
pected, Matlack ordered a charge, rode
down the Mexicans and killed 35 of
their number. Matlack's men suffered
one slight casualty.
Not long after this a cattle ranch
near Candalaria was raided. Matlack
and his men pursued and killed the
Mexicans and recovered the cattle.
Later Matlack went back to look for
more cattle. While he was riding
around the town shot was fired from
an adobe house. The bullet went Wild.
Matlack boldly kicked in the door Of
the house and killed the Mexican who
had fired Mt him. In virtually every en-.
counter with Mexicans Matlack has
taken long chances. but he has always
gotten his man.
