CADDoCK TO RETIRE If
DEFEATED1N DIES MONIES

Three times ana out.
That is what defeat in Des
Moines will mean to Earl Gaddock.
And no one realizes it more than the
great Iowa wrestler. The latter in
his talk with Oscar Thorson last
Sunday stated that he was sure he
was as good as he ever had been
and he was once the peer Of them all
and that he would yet defeat
both Joe Stecher and Stranger"
Lewis who beat him recently in sue
cessive matches.
He declared emphatically that he
intended to stay at or near the top
Of the heap and that he knew he
must win in his next trial to main
tain that position. He added that
il another defeat did come that he
would retire to his ranch in. Wyom-
ing and abandon the wrestling
! game.
Caddock admits that he made a
mistake in meeting Joe Stecher be-
fore he had prepared himself prop
erly by a series of hard. matches and
blames an injury he sustained in his
match with Lewis for the latter's
success against him. But he also
attributes both defeats in part to
the fact that he wrestled in New
York where he scracely had a real
| friend.
Prior to this year the Iowan had
wrestled all his big matches in Des
Moines before what might properly
be termed "home folks" for every
one of the thousands who saw him
perform was his friend and rooted
and pulled for him in truly partisan
style. He missed the "home" at
mosphere in New York. He will
have II in his match in Des Moines
next month and expects to profit by
It. Just how much he does not
know. but he is sure 1t will have a
beneficial effect.

CALLS FOR REFORM IN
MILITARY COURTS

In a speech in the house of repre-
Bentatives on the subject of need of
reform in court martial procedure
Tin the army, Representative Green,
Formerly of this city, said that what
was needed in the army was "a
thoroughly democratic system" He
condemned what he termed ''this
caste system that has been establish
ed at West Point and prevails
throughout vail our military train
ing"
Judge Green held that the officer
whose company records we're filed
with court martial proceedings was
a poor officer and sharply disapprov-
ed of excessive sentences.
1.-The old world aristocracy upon
which the West Point caste system
was founded does not exist here, !"
said Judge Green.
ST have no patience with this
snobbery that too often has existed
in our army. Nor have l any pa
4ience with that class of officers
whose records are filed with court
martial proceedings. have had
much experience in dealing with
and controlling men, and an officer
WIN has blC OhlbCu ob11Oo oi
my at his back and is continually in
trouble with his men is utterly in
Ncompetent to hold that position.
'It was a mistake in the last war
TO make Officers principally upon
their knowledge of drill regulations
and with little regard to theirl ca
pacity for leadership, as was often
done. / have known of cases where
a hard boiled" variety Of officer

the time and accomplished nothing
In the way of improvement in that
essential form of discipline which
constitutes willingness and prompt
ness in obeying orders, and after
ahat officer had been superseded by
a man of real sense in few weeks
the detachment was as orderly as

PAY THOSE TAXEs NOW

Now is a suitable time to pay your
taxes. After April list the law pre-
scribes penalty of one percent.
Persons have been coming to the
county treasurer's office the last few
days in an effort to pay taxes before
the penalty goes on.
Usually many wait until the last
day before making settlement at the
court house. This results in much
confusion and extra work and worry
for those in the treasurer's office. 1t
is no more trouble to settle now. 1t
will be appreciated by Treasurer
Hans Albertsen and will incidentally
save the property owner the one per-
cent penalty.

They Will Fill Pullman S
Job Later.

late Maj. Raymond w. Pullman,
former superintendent of police,
will not be made for some time, ac-
cording to Commissioner Louis
Brownlow.

acting for the present.
Brownlow stated Assistant Super
intendent Gessford will continue
to act as superintendent until a
successor Is appointed.
The White House. 1t Is stated. has
been flooded with letters supporting
candidates. Secretary Tumulty an
nounced yesterday the matter was
not one for consideration by Presi-
dent Wilson. who, he said. has con-
fidence in the ability of District
Commissioners to select a man for
the job.
Senator William Calder. New

HOW DOCTORS
treat COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is Brisk
Purgative with Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets That are Nausea
less, Safe and Sane.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and in
fiuenza can be depended upon for
full effectiveness until the liver is
made thoroughly active. That is
why the first step in the treatment
is the new. nausealess calomel
tablet called Calotabs. and which
are free from the sickening and
weakening effect Of the old style
calomel. Doctors also point out the
fact that an active liver may go a
long way towards preventing infiu-
enza and is one OF the most i'm
portant factors In enabling the pa
tient to successfully Withstand an
attack and ward off pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time, with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts. no nausea, nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next
morning your cold has vanished.
your liver is active. your system is
purified. and you are feeling fine.
with a hearty appetite for break
fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only
in original sealed packages, price
thirty-five cents. Your money will
be cheerfully refunded IL you do not
find them delightful.-Adv.

Takes Sisters Role;
Makes Hit on Stage

Some notables OF the stage are
born with good luck, others ac-
cidentally fall in with it and a few
have 1t thrust upon them. The lat
ter happened to Margaret White,
heading the bill at the Gayety Thea
ter this week, when she was in
Buffalo five seasons ago.
Miss Whites sister, Helen White,
playing at a Buffalo theater, be-
came i'll one night just before she
was to go on. Miss White was
asked by the management-large
because Of close resemblance of the
sisters-to take her part.
Today Miss White has few rivals
on the Columbia circuit. Her versa
tile ability is demonstrated by her
vehicle this week, in which she as
sumes many difficult roles.
''The stage Is a reformer and de-
serves praise along with the press
and the pulpit for helping people
enjoy life," Miss White said yes
terday.
AS the woman Of the street" Mis-:
White appears advantageously. This
feature is one of the hits with Joe

Escape and Return Home

Blue Hill. n. D., Feb. 25.-John
lO'Brien, a farmer living near here,
has disposed of a shipment of pigs,
which he believes should have
brought higher than market prices,
because of their unusual intelli-
gence."
A short time ago O'Brien loaded
his wagon and started for Garrison
with his porkers. The wagon over
turned near Garrison and the pigs
scattered.
When O'Brien got home, all of the
pigs were in their pen, he said.
He made a second trip but was
caught in a blizzard. The pigs made
themselves comfortable in another
farmers yard. Finally. O'Brien got
them to Garrison but the cattle
train had left. A pen was provided
and eventually the pigs were dis
posed of.
