STILL DISCOVERED NEAR '
MERIDIAN BY SHERIFF.

A still large enough to manufact-
ure 1O-gallons of moonshine daily
was discovered Sunday night near
Meridian by Sheriff Pfost, says the
Capital News. Frank Rosso was
placed under arrest, charging him
with violating the state prohibition
law and is now in jail in default of
$1,000 bond. The man is an Ital-
ian.
Sheriff Pfost arrived in Boise with
his prisoner Monday afternoon at 4
O'Clock, having taken him while on a
hunt for stolen automobile, which
he failed to locate.
The sheriff believes the owner of
the still intended going into business
on an extensive scale as 500 gallons
OF mash in the state of fermentation
were discovered on the place, which
is known as the Ross Wilbur tract,
now owned by Joe Lund, / mile east
and one mile south of Meridian. The
still was in two parts, one of which
was found in cabin and the other
under straw stack and like others
found by the sheriff, is said to have
been operated under filthy conditions.

A POOR WEEK FOR NEWS
AROUND MERIDIAN.

This has been a poor week for news.
One fellow who was to have been OPP
Grated on has postponed the job, so
we cannot mention his demise, if such
a thing should happen. We have heard
pretty good clue to the Meridian
post-office robbery but can't say any
thing about it for fear of ''spilling the
beans" A small child was nearly run
over by an auto. but it wasn't---so an
inch is as good as mile. A woman
was threshed by her husband and he
has hardly been around home for a
week--but we dare not tell his name.
We had prepared long article about
the rain--but the sun is out this morn
ing and IL would sound foolish. Yes,
this has been a poor week for news.

THE NEED OF HOT
SCHOOL LUNCHES

Since the hot lunches were adopted
in Meridian there has been inquiry as
to the purpose and reason for this
move. The Times has gathered some
authentic data which it presents here
with. Our only purpose is to help to
fit the Meridian boy and girl so they
will have an equal show with others
in the battle that will come later in
life.
According to government statistics
there are six million children, or
one out of every four, who are suffer
ing from under nourishment. More
than $4,000 children die every year
from poor or insufficient food. Not
from lack of food, understand.
One way to help the malnourished
child is a hot lunch at school, either a
hot dish to supplement the lunch
brought from home or the entire
| lunch served at the school, The great
est need is found in the rural school
| like we have at Meridian. Many child
rem leave their homes at 1870 or 500
O'Clock in the morning and do not re-
turn again until 5 or $50 in the eV'
ening. They snatch a hurried break
! fast in the morning, make long triL
| by wagon, or horseback, or auto, OF
perhaps walk; have a cold lunch al
noon and make the return trip al
night, having only cold lunch thai
/ ornH in n hurry
Children grow and develop rapidly
in the years from the first to tht
eighth grade but they cannot pro
gress mentally or physically without
good food. You know how often
growing child likes to eat. A cole
lunch now and then is not bad, bu
five DAYS in a week for the princlpa
meal Counting the hours) Mint
months in the wear grows monoto
nous.
How would you like to study on
cold day with no warm food inside o
you? Good buildings and teachers ar
not enough. Teachers say the children
appear to be in better condition 10
study when they have hot dish a
noon and the discipline is better.Al
think the children do better work i
the afternoon.
Another point, is that when the no
lunch is served in Meridian it is not
iced that it helps to improve the man
, ners of many little tot when h
comes in contact with the other child
! rem at the lunch hour. 1t enables htr
to learn also, what food he shout
eat to make his little body health
, and strong. This is a cooperativ
work with his mother at home, and
designed as a help, not substitute.

"UP IN MABEL'S ROOM"
AT PINNEY, BOISE

At the Pinney Theater on Friday
and Saturday Dec. 17-1sth, A. H.
Woods will present for an engage
ment of two days, matinee Saturday
the brilliant New York farce success,
up In Mable's Room" which was
one of the conspicuous metropolitan
successes of last season.
up In Mable's Room has been
described as a face deluex and de-
looks. 1t consists of three acts and
is the work of Wilson Collison& Otto
Harbach 1t may be briefly described
complications.
Garry gave an article to Mable as a
gift, in a moment of sentimental
scribed in bold, big letters "Mable
from Garry"
Then Garry fell in love with and
married sweet but painfully unso-
phisticated little girl and went to
spend his honeymoon at the country
home of a friend. Who should turn
| up as one of the guests, but Mable?
1t must be confessed that Mable was
wee bit catty. At any rate, Mable
let Garry know that she had the pres
ent and that she intended to display
it in a way that might prove detri'
mental to Garry's welfare. OF course
she didn't really mean it, but Garry
though: she did, so he tried to steal
the present. 1t was not easy, and the
fun that ensued kept New York roar
ing with laughter for months. Not
the least of the charms Of up In
Mables Room" is it's elaborate ant
beautiful display of lingerie. The
company is one of the best and in
cludes many Broadway favorites.

WERE CRIMES, COMMITTED
BY LOCAL PEOPLE?

Sheriff Pfost and County Attorney
Delana were down Saturday to in
vestigate the assault on Lloyd Adams
and find out if motive for the crime
could be found. The man stepped to
the door one day last week and was
hit on the head by an unknown indi-
vidual. Adams was unconcious for
several hours. No clue has been found
but some seem to think that both the
assault and the postoffice robbery
were committed by local people. A
clue has been found and develop
ments are expected.
The postoffice robbery is also being
investigated by the United States
marshal at Boise, and it is the reputa,
ton of the government to usually &C
to quite bit of trouble in finding
the perpetrator of even a small rob.
berry of government property.
The principal reason for believing
the robbery was the work of am
ateurs was the fact that only the in
experienced would touch government
property.

McDERIOTT LINE DOES
NOT PAY EXPENSES

1t is possible that the McDermott
stub of the Idaho Traction company
will be abandoned in the near future.
The company has presented figures
to the utilities commission to show
that the passenger and freight bust
ness furnished by the patrons of the
line will not pay for the expense OF
running it. Passenger business runs
as low as a few cents a day during
the summer season.
The auto has had an appreciable
effect on the business of the line, and
only during the winter season when
the roads are muddy will the loss be
severely felt by the people of the Vic
tory and McDermott neighborhoods.
In reply to the argument that the
people along the line were promised
a permanent service, the company
answers that they should not be com.
PEELED to keep up the running of cars
when the passengers use other means
to get to market
In case the line is abandoned, which
will probably be early in the spring
people residing south of the McDer,
mott stub will be served by the mair
line of the Interurban, which runs
parallel, two miles south. Thus tC
some the change will not be hard
ship. To others, residing in the
Fairview neighborhood, the discon
tinuance of the line win be inconven
lent.
1t will not be damage to Meridian
trade, and some residing In thu

come strangers to our town, vii

OWN YOUR OWN HOME.

There is a nomadic streak in the
American character and being foot
loose has certain advantages; but just
now people are paying the piper.
Out of the 4 million Americans who
drive their own automobiles, it is
reasonable guess that not half own
their homes. Surplus money has been
used to buy the means to move from
state To state on holiday jaunts In
stead Of to buy the right to remain
in one spot.

Dollars Value
Greatest When
Buying Bicycle

In buying the bicycle. says Lloyd
Ramsden. who has the Salem agency
for the Dayton bicycles. the dollar
is considerably larger when spent for
bicycle than for most anything else
as the advance in the cost of bicycles
during the past five years has been
about 81 percent less than the in
crease in the cost of living. Also
modern bicycle can be bought for
about one half the cost Of the safety
wheel" of 80 years ago.
This. says MIR. Ramsden. makes it
more true now than ever that the BIZ
cycle is the cheapest means of trans
portation known to man. Several hun
dred more bicycles were sold in Sa-
lem last year than during the pre-
vious twelve months and the manu-
facturers of these bicycles have In

Improvement of.
Willamette Law
School Planned

In connection with the plans to en-
large the plans OF Willamette univer-
slty and to increase enrolment, the
Willamette law school has not been
forgotten. and will receive particular
attention. as the policy of the j.
versity is 60 make the law school. al
ready recognized as the best in me
state. even stronger than It has been.
On account of the burning Of Waller
hail and the resultant crowding thru
out the university. the quarters allot-
ted to the law school have been re-
duced to a point where IL. was diff
cult to carry on the work as II was
pIenned.
Next year. however. the university
officials say. ample quarters will be
provided for the law school. and ef-
forts viii be made to improve the
conditions along other lines. 1t is de-
sired that the law school be separate
~ endowed. and a campaign for this
purpose may be inaugurated as soon
as the present needs are met. II is
also planned 10 increase the class per-
loAs 80 as 10 hltnudIuilt TIE htnOoi.
Instead of the present situation in
Science hall. with It's poor heating ar
rsngements and unsatisfactory sur
roundings, il is planned that proyid-
iag Waller hall is completed. as seems
certain now the law school viii be
given the use Of several rooms on the
ground floor OF that building. which
will be fitted up to suit the needs OF
the classes. Instead Of sharing these
rooms with the other departments of
the university, they viii be devoted
exclusively to the law classes
It is the hope Of the administra-
tion that the law department, which
has turned out many of Willamette's
most famous graduates. should be
built up to the highest possible stand
ard, and at the same time be more
closely united to the other depart
ments OF the university, feeling that
in this way much can be gained all
round Last winter the liberal arts
students signed a resolution deciar-
ing their desire TO cooperate to the
fullest extent with the law school In
securing better accommodations, and
It seems that the plans then formed
can be realized next year
