seats behind him at the Scenic. After
the Scenic the young man was stroll
ing on the street, going down to the

who demanded his money. The young
man instead of complying, grappled
with them and succeeding in knock
ing one down, and jerking away from
the other, ne hot-footed it to the Col.

deposited a roll of approximately $40C

ARRESTS MADE IN
DEPOT ROBBERY
u le Drafal and Jack Arnold Arrest.
ed For $1,000 Theft

18th the arrest Saturday night OF
se Drafal, came the solution OF
$1,000 robbery at the Northwestern
y )ot or the night of May 5th.
May 5th two packages each con-
t6iaing $1,000 in bank notes were
1 en- from the First National Bank
Of his city to the express office. The
notes had just been issued, and had
net yet been in circulation. One pack
ag5 was for the bank at st. Lawrence,
the other for the bank at Rec Heights,
The notes intended for the First
State Bank at st. Lawrence was sent
out on the evening train, and were
delivered safely. The other $1,000 in
tended for the First State Bank at Rec
Heights was kept over, because of the
.act there was no night express agent
y. hat Station to receive the money.
The next morning when the west
bound express was being made UP, it
WIS discovered that the money was
missing.
The officials of the American Ex-
press Company and local officers
were Immediately notified. Two de-
tectiyes we're sent out by the Express
company, but after a thorough investi-
CATION, no evidence sufficient to war
rant arrests could be found.
Owing to the lack of clues with
which to work, investigation Jagged,
until it is reported, Sheriff Mohr was
tipped off as to whom the
guilty parties were. An
express company detective, who was
sent for, and together with Sheriff
Mohr and States Attorney Fisher, man
aged to get enough information from
tie informant to warrant the arrest of
Bob Sheriff. as having intimate know
lodge of the affair, his information led
H. the arrest of Estee Drafel, who was
employed at the depot at the time of
the robbery, as the n who had COM
United the actual robbery. This infor-
me ion was sufficient to result in the
a~,ost of Drafel.
tt is reported that a signed state
rlct was made by Drafel, confessing
[ e. he and Jack Arnold had stolen
> c money and hidden it. Later the
money was divided between Drafel and
A mold, Arnold then leaving this sec
ton of the country.
Arnold has been located at Pendle-
ton. Ore, and extradiction papers have
been received from the governor OF
OREGON. Sheriff Mohr left Wednesday
to IKE him into custody.

c ~aination and are put under bonds,

he credit for bringing the guilty
rsgties to Justice is largely due to the
o.3rts of the local authorities, as the
case had been practically dropped by

TALK BY
COUNTY NURSE
The Endorsement of the Modern
Health Crusade

The Modern Health Crusade has
been adopted as a part of the curri.
culum for Public Schools by the De,
partment of Physical Education of the
National Educational Association al
the annual meeting in 1919.
AS effective Health education is es.
sential to the conservation of the child
who is the most important asset of the
lation, some such system as the Mo-
dern Health Crusade should be carried
IN regularly in every school of the
nation.
The Public Health problem is not
the prevention and cure of disease, il
is the development OF health. You can
not talk to a child about the proven
ticn of disease, but you can talk about
good health.
The County Public Health Nurse
wishes to again call the attention OF
the Hand County Teachers to take UP
this work in their schools. 80 per cent
Of the teachers have neglected to send
for supplies. The first tournament OF
the Modern Health Crusade was open
ed the week of October 18th, there
has been very few orders for badges
so far. Until further notice teachers
are requested to send for Squire,
Knight and Knight Bannerette pins
10 the County Superintendent's office.
The teachers who have not taken UP
the first tournament in their schools,
are advised TO open the second tourna-
ment week Of January 9Th, 1920. Send
for supplies to County Superintendent
of Schools.

TO NORMA
IS NEED OF HOUR
Every Citizen Has A Duty To Perform
Today

Reduce your prices and live within
your means is the message now be-
ing sent out to the American people
by the wisest writer's and statesmen
the only and quickest way to get back
to "a normal business basis so terribly
disrupted by a great world war. And
every man, oma and child can help.
The war is over. It's unusual de-
ands for patriotism and emergency
action have passed. The necessity of
buying many commodities has been
greatly curtailed, and the fictitious
prices of war times must be reduced
to again reach a sane and normal bust
ness basis.
This does not mean "tie other fell
low" 1t means you, and me, and our
neighbor. REIMBURSEMENT can not be
realized by one class, or one industry
sacrificing on price. All must bravely
meet the demand.
According to newspaper reports and
markets this is being done by many
localities and many classes Of bust
ness. Whether we will it or not it
must be lone by all localities and all
classes, big and little,
The farmers have already been call
nI imam m HvithGtanl prnlf raHnr3innC
in nearly all their products. Too sud
denly, and too severely, it Seems to us.
But this sacrifice mas come upon them.
like a bolt out of a clear sky, aud
they are nov struggling to readiust
their business to the changed condi-
tons.
The products of the farm are the
basis of life and wealth, and when
these prices tumble below the cost of
production all other business must
feel the effect of IT. Without some
reasonable return above cost the farm
er can not pay the hired man 500 to
$3.50 per month. This condition forces
the farmer to pay less for help or
reduce his production TO his own in
dividual efforts. He and his family
must likewise curtail their expendi-
lures to the merchant, to the mecnan-
ic. to all classes of business life within
their orbit of existence. 1T automau-
cally affects the business of the mer-
chant, the mechanic, the laborer, the
professional man, adversely, and their
prices must come down accordingly.
The United States went through a
like experience after the Civil War
which ended in 1866. The high prices
OF that time reached a low level in
1873, when the country resumed specie
paper money. The people were all
compelled to seriously face their prob
lem of REIMBURSEMENT to lower price
levels, and give UP many ~luxuries and
comforts they had enjoyed. The same
problems again confront the American
citizen, and no class or individual can
escape them. How shall we face this
necessity-complainingly or courage
ously? It's up to each one to decide.
The Press has abundant faith in the
heroism and common sense of the Am
erican people.
