2 BOYS RUN AWAY
FROM THEIR HOMES
Are Caught at Minot-One Is Allow
ed to Enter Navy and the Other
Will Come Home.

On Tuesday night of last week two
adventurous boys of the south bench,
sons of Ed Roberts and Webb Gait, de-
cided that Nashua was not large
enough for them to partake of their
worldly desires, so departed from their
homes with no particular end to their
journey. When the facts BECAME
known to the parents they Immediately
set about to bring them back to the
family fireside. The chief of police
in towns of any size were notified to
arrest and hold them.
On Wednesday morning of this week
a message was received here that they
had been found at Minot. The son of
Web Gait had enlisted in the navy and
had been allowed to depart for Jeffer-
son barracks. The Roberts boy is
still held and will be returned to his
home south of Nashua.
1t has developed since their depar-
ture that a plan was on foot among
a number of the younger generation
in this locality to form a party and
head in the direction of South Ameri.
ca, but at the last minute it seems
that nerve failed the remainder o.
the boys and they decided to remain
at home, where they secure thret
square meals a day at Dads table,
Nashua Independent.

SHOES FOR ~ERMENTRUDE.

We had thought Sam Rugg, around
at The Hub, was always on the job,
and could fill anybody's wants for
apparel, but he got "~stumped" to-
day, all right. That great big Tank
Sergeant Appleby handed Sam a pos:
err when he wanted to buy a "set" of
"shoes" for Ermentrude. Sans con-
slant grin expanded when he learned
that a "set" of shoes mean 80 pairs,
into money, he scented a corking good
sale. However, as "tankF shoes" are
made of malleable steel, and each shoe
weighs At pounds, Sam had to turn
down the order, with the somewhat
ungraceful remark that such a mon.
strous foot was "unladylike" and not.
withstanding all that has been said
about "Ermie," he for n would no,
admit she is a perfect lady.

ALCOHOLIC LIQUOR
BARRED IN

Helena, Feb. 16.-Patients cannot

Distribution of alcoholic liquors of

General Ford today.
All sheriffs and other peace officers
of Montana have been notified of this
construction of the Montana statutes
which is effective in spite of the fed
eral rulings and the broader provisions
of the federal law, Ford says.
"In addition, all physicians or drug
gists who handle such prescriptions
will be held as accessories to the
crime" Mr.. Ford warns, sand the

Blizzard Is Raging.

wireless Special to the Co~urier)
According to a wireless dispatch re-
ceived at the local wireless station by
Operator Wharton this morning, Jor-
dan and the surrounding country are
in the grip of winter again. A ter
rible blizzard is raging there and all
the roads are again closed, the tenn
perature being 81 below this morning
at 6 a.. m. 1t will be impossible for
anyone to travel until the storm SUBJ
sides.
The sheep men are hard hit as the
few days Of warm spring weather
tempted some of them to stray too
far away from home and on accoup5
of the blizzard have been showed in
away from their sheep camps.
The mail carrier is showed in at
Haxby and as the drifts are too diff
cult for a team to negotiate, Jordan's
only method of communication with
the outside world for a few days will
be by wireless.
No new cases of the "flu" have been
reported in the vicinity of Jordan
within the last 48 hours.
The wireless report from Miles City
indicates a light snow falling with a
heavy wind.
The Courier sent a wireless this
morning to the editor of the Miles City
Star extending the sympathy Of Glas-
gowites in their late bad weather mis-
fortune and extending an invitation
to come up to Glasgow for the week
end to help pick our first crop of
Strawberries.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Teach your little boy to hate shams
they are walking the highways of this
life Gin ghostly affectation' of great
ness. Teach him to be content with
nothing less than genuine success; for
along life's pathways will be found
much wreckage of men who were al
most successful-just a little more
faith, a little more courage, a little
more character, and all would have
been we'll. Teach him to be in love
with some great truth, tenderly to woo
it, bravely to marry it, and then faith
fully to guard it. Teach him to be
nothing but true, to fear nothing but
God.
