Braconi will not come back, for if he does he likely will be fined anyway, as when he was appre- hended, Wednesday night, by Automobile Inspector Ralph C. Young. he was driv- ing a big heavily loaded motor truck that was equipped with only one head light.
 Incidentally, Braconi had no car regis traitor with him and was without driv- CTS license. The owner of the big ve- hicle was a passenger upon 1t With Braconi and the pair were not at all pleased about being held up for violating the state motor vehicle law pertaining to headlights, and asserted that they had been all over the country with the truck without getting arrested.
 When Braconi was asked where the other headlight of the car was he promptly responded right here-and fish ed out lantern from somewhere about the big vehicle. He at least seemed surprised when Inspector Young told him that lantern did not answer the law. Asked for his registration, Braconi fash ed piece of paper at the inspector, who looked it over and found that it was a receipt for five pounds of crackers. 1n- spector Young found that the brakes on the truck were in poor condition and would not hold the vehicle on a grade.
 Braconi was apprehended on Reynolds street, near the Ennis home, and had to be talked to rather strenuously. before he would consent to turn around the big vehicle and take it back to Danielson. as directed by the automobile official.

CAPTURE PIG 1T SEA
HEADED FOR EUROPE
Swimming Porker ExpIodes Old
Theory About Cutting Threats
{ With Feet.

A small white pig was found swim
ming across the Atlantic by two Stat
en- Island fishermen, says the New
York World. The pig, name and ad-
dress unknown, was In perfect health,
thus disslpating an age-old theory that
a swimming swine will cut it's own
throat with its feet.
Charles and Frederick Petersen,
prominent citizens of Tottenville, S.
L., went fishing three miles off shore
from Keyport, N. J. They were drift
ing in their mot0rboat when Charles
.glimpsed something swimming near
by. The brothers agreed it was a sea
turtle and decided to capture it.
One Of the brothers boarded the
dinghy, overlook the swimmer and
brought him aboard. 1t was a nice
young shoat, weight thirty pounds.
They carried him back to Tottenville
and intend to make a hog Of the
derelict.
Frederick Petersen is chiefly inter
ested in the blasted scientific theory.
1t is thought the shoat fell from a
steamer.

PAVING WORK
MOVES SLOWLY
Contractors Work i n g
Hard To Finish Job
By Winter

Paving of Devils Lakes streets is
progressing at a rapid rate, but the
question is raised in many quarters
as to whether the job which covers
over forty blocks of work and two
square blocks of alleyways will be
completed before winter sets in. The
contracting firm, Haggert & Sons,
have stated, however, that they will
exert every possible effort to at least
have as much of the work done as is
possible under existing conditinos of
supply markets.
The laying of concrete bases and
curbing is we'll under way and before
another week ends, it is believed top
dressings will be applied to the first
sections of base already laid. This
will include part of Harrington avenue
and part Of Fourth street.
Plans being followed, include COM
pletion of operations on streets sur.
rounding Kelly avenue to make way
for traffic while the city's main thoro.
fare is being paved.

damages have resulted from rust,
drought and hot weather.
The early wheat too far along to be
seriously damaged by the drought, but
the hot weather has caused it to rip
en- too fast, resulting in a slightly
shrunken kernel. The development of
rust in some sections Of the country
where the late wheat had a heavy
stand earlier in the season, material
ly decreased the yield. Oats, flax and
other crops have been affected by
drought, to what extent will depend
on precipitation in the ear future.
Potato and corn crops have not
been damaged by the drought to any
material extent, but the dry, hot
weather soon will begin to tell on
these crops.

Emigration is exceeding immigration
in the United States for the first time
since 1907, figures compiled by the i'm
migration bureau show.
In July, August, September, Octo-
Der and November immigrants to
America numbered 1925, while the
emigrants totaled $4,000. The same
tendency existed in November, incom-
plete figures show. During the five
months 1,O60 Greeks landed in Amer

turned to the old world. Emigration
to Italy is also heavy.

Is question of vital concern to every
patriotic citizen declared Mr.. Tnstir
The need has become imperative and its
creation and careful development should
be undertaken by all Of our large cities.
In the past our best authorities have
agreed that social injustice is responsible
for the creation of more radical enemies
to our government than any other cause.
The mayor of one of our largest cities,
who has had great experie nee, has stated
within few weeks that trifing misundcr-
standings concerning municipal a nd social
injustice is responsible for 90 per cent
OF the extreme radicalism in the country.
immigration in the future will come
largely from Eastern European countries
and the opportunity for imposition and
unlawful practices will be much Increased.
Despite the excellent arguments adj
vanced we believe that legal aid should
bemade municipal JUNCTION, rather than
connected with the administration OF our
courts. The tendency in many com
munities to impose extra judicial duties
upon o,r judges has not only resulted in
distinct lowering of the judicial dignity,
but also in many cases has interfercd

We expect the same rule OF penalty to
fit every case. Instead Of producing So
called equal and exact justice, it often
produces just the contrary results. There
are many cases of conduct or acts OF indi-
vidlals that might be defined as crime
that can be handled much better IN a
chancery procedure to do justice than IN
criminal procedure to impose punish
ment.
1--WE have in Colorado as to certain
crimes extended chancery procedure to
adults 1t is the first state SO lar as know
to make such an innovation.
Zone secret of the success of these IN
formal courts, to my mind, IS the fact
that in the very great majority of these
cases, the whole purpose is to under
stand the people-to help them and not
to hurt them-and by kindly appeal to
point out the mistakes of all and the good
in ALL
