Maud's Brother Jake.

lake Muller on a summers day
raked the meadows sweet with
hay. The mule with which he
raked the hay, was muckle dun
with streaks of gray. Jake's
shirt was hickory and his pants
were brown, with patch on the
place where he sits down. Jake
cussed in a way that was hard
to see, for the mule went haw
when he said gee. A bumhlebee's
nest in the stubble lay, where
lake and the mule had to rake
the hay. A tooth ran through
the humble home, and the bees
came out and began to roam in
search of the man that summer
day, who raked the meadows OF
clover hay. The bees swarmed
inside of Muller's shirt and
quickened the mule to a lively
squirt. 1t was tough on the mule
and worse on Jake, and worse
still on the sulky rake, for the
mule turned loose in promis-
cuous way and scattered Jake
and the rake all over the hay.

Coolies of Thrills For the In
habitants = Depot Broken
Into--Two Tickets Swiped.

The village of Conover, even if
it hasn't struck a boom this win
ter like its sister villages State
Line and Rummeles. has put it
oyer these two by having real
2-reel thriller in actual life-and
that when the thermometer was
lowering downwards, and snow
drifts pushing upwards on a par
with the Singer building in New
York city.
But at that, Conover did have
a near-burglarizing stunt pulled
off last Wednesday night. Seems
like two fellows round twenty,
who had been working at Phelps,
quit their job and hiked it to
Conover, arriving at dark.
They played havoc with the
hardwood material which section
crews use to "shim" up the track
occasionally, together with sew
eral spike and nail kegs they rid
OF their contents, their sole aim
being to secure fuel for fire.
Finding that was too cold a
proposition in their exposed po-
sition near the section house,
they later in the night broke into
the depot, so the report goes,
and used up a ton or less of
Agent Young's coal in working
the station stove full blast. Even
at that, one of the fellows had
several toes frozen when collared
the next morning at Eagle River
by the sheriff.
1t is said that these fellows
being on their way home to Mil
waukee, were supposed to have
swiped two first class tickets to
that city OF beer Cor at least it
ulster was anyhow before the
country went drv.) Anyhow
two Milwaukee tickets are short
from that station-and the fell
lows are also shorter, being
somewhere in the tall uncut and
still going.

HE HAS NOTHING TO DO
Sheriff Of Villas County Cam

Locate Amy Booze.

kilograms received by Sheriff
Hanke:
"Send no prisoners here;
Flu in prison. Signed by
the warden at Waupun.
Clean up all liquors in
your territory" Signed by
federal official.
Sheriff Charles Hanke of the
bailiwick of Villas county, is in
hire straits. He dare not send
any of his prisoners to the prison
at Waupun for two reasons:
First is that Flu is raging in the
prison, and second, he has no
prisoners in his hotel. Not a
dadbinged criminal or otherwise.
Then he is told to collect any
and all forbidden stuff" in this
district. There isn't any. Now
wotinell can he do?
Another funny thing on top of
all that. Last Thursday he nab
bed a gentleman from, Milwaukee
who it was thought had broken
into the depot at Conover the
previous night. After Hanke
had him safe, informed the rail
road. Nobody wanted the fell
low and he turned him loose,
sending him down the line.
Same day up comes an official,
wanting this guy bad. Sheriff
didn't have him, and did't know
where he beat it to.
There you are. No prisoners;
no hidden booze; no burglar.
And still they say sheriff's

CENSUS MEMS BIG JOB CoNOvER'S SENSATION
Snowshoes, Mules and Even
Airplanes Used Our Eel
lows Walked.

Everything from airplanes to
snowshoes is being used by the
agents of Uncle Sam in taking
the 1920 census of the United
States. About the only modern
method of transportation either
on, over, or below land or water
that has not been employed in
enumerating Uncle's nieces and
nephews seem to be the subma-
rine.
Airplanes have come in handy
in enumerating the jewellers on
the islands off the coast of Flori-
da; yachts and rowboats have
been used in the harbors of the
country; native canoes have been
in demand among the Hawaiian
Islands; "hivvers' are being used
everywhere; the tried and trusty
mule team has carried the census
takers OUT in the desert regions;
snowshoes have become the trus-
ted aides of the census gatherers
in the northern states and Alas
ka; and the safe but tiresome
method of hiking" has been the
method employed in Villas county
by the census man.
The story is told of how few
days ago an enumeration making
his rounds on snowshoes arrived
at an isolated farm d yelling only
to find that all able-bodied man
was needed more than a census
gatherer, as the man of the fam
lily had been sick in bed for sew
eral days and the farm animals
were suffering for lack OF food
and water. The census man,
like any good neighbor would,
stopped long enough to do the
chores, dig out paths through
the deep snow and put things in
shipshape Older before continu-
ing his journey.

MEET TOMORROW EVE
Question of New High School
to Be Given the Attention
it Deserves.

That the need of new high
school building for this joint dis
trict is imperative. there in no
argument against the speedy
erection of modern and ade.
quate building to properly care
for the increasing attendance of
young men and women seeking
an education.
Just what sort of a building;
it's proper location; and the
amount of money needed. will be
brought to the public's attention
tomorrow evening at the high
school room. This is a public
meeting and every patron and
citizen who is public spirited
should attend and learn just why
we need a school and how it
must be arranged for.
When one learns of the crowd
ed condition, detrimental to not
only the health of the pupils but
to their education. which is now
in evidence, there will certainly
be no opposition in the erection
of building for the high school.

LAST NIGHTS
 RECEPTION ID
 COL. COT'|NALI.S',

There was a large turnout at last Commerce, which was in the nature of
 formal reception in honor of Col
 John w. GOtwals and Major Waugh
 of the Alaska road commission and J.
 M. Myers of the bureau of roads of the department of agriculture, who are the real trail and road builders for the territory
 Between forty and fifty business people were ir attendance. President George c. Hazelet occupied the chair,
 and after extending a welcome to the guests and assuring them of Cordova's cooperation in providing the territory with better trail and road facilities, Colonel Gotwals was called upon and stated that he desired to do all in his power to assist in the development of the resources of Alaska as a road his command.
 Major Waugh dwelt at some length upon the work done by the commis. sion and it's plans for the future. He pointed out that the greatest good could be accomplished by the different commercial bodies of the territory set ting forth their needs and petitioning congress for larger appropriations.
 Mr. Myers felt that as he was a new arrival in the North his work would have to speak for itself ..
 Attorney Arthur Frame of Anchor age was called upon and spoke of the trail needs of all Interior points, and the necessity of the different towns cooperating with the commission if the desired results are to be attained.
 J. M. Elmer, who has extensive mining holdings in the Slate creek section, pointed out the necessity of better transportation facilities as feed CTS to the government trail, if the resources of that country are devel- oped on a large scale, such as his company planned.
 Attorney F. H. Foster called the at- tention of Colonel Gotwals to the ur- gent need of a trail over Sourdough hill, in the Mccarthy district, and made an earnest plea for relief for the miners of the Interior in the freighting of supplies and machinery 1 to their claims. z& ,

The battery for the locals was Chambers and Steel, and they gave a good ac- count of themselves. That there is material here for the organization of a strong nine was clearly demonstrat- ed, and all the boys need is little practice to cope with the teams from any of our neighboring towns.

;~r-ltN; q "a
Despite certain concessions granted
by Premier Lloyd George, nothing
definite has vet come out of the efforts
to bring about truce in the Irish
"war." In response to the request of
Father O'Flanagan, acting head of the
Sim Fein, that he might be permitted
to confer with Arthur Griffith and
Eamonn De Valera regarding a set
Element, the premier said: 1.-THE Irish
governmental authorities will afford
you the necessary facilities for see
ing Mr.. Arthur Griffith, and, as re-
CARDS Mr.. De Valera, the ordinary
methods of communication with
America fully are open to you"
At about the same time it was re-
ported that De Valera was on his way
from America 10 Ireland, and in Lon
don it was understood tacit permission
for his return had been given by
Lloyd George. The dispatches said
he would be met at Liverpool and per-
mitted to go to London for confer
ence or would be given safe conduct
to Ireland, as he preferred.
Meanwhile the rank and file on both
sides seem to be doing their best to
keep the contest going. The worst
happening of the week was the burn
ing of the city hall, library and other
buildings in the business center of
Cork. Presumably this was done by

ambushing of some of their members,
though this was denied by the English
officials. The property damage was
immense and the affair caused such
an outcry that the government or

military authorities and the punish

Arrester of

STATE POLICEMAN WHO AR
RESTED COUGHLIN BABY KID
NAPIER HAD NO CLAIM TO
REWARD

HARRISBURG, Pa.-Major Lynn
G. Adams, Superintendent of the
Pennsylvania State Police Force, to-
day announced the discharge of John
]. Gecelosky, private in Troop Z,
of Pottsville, who arrested August
Pasquale the kidnapper of the Cough
lin baby. Gecelosky was dropped
from the force because he claimed
the $1,000 reward offered by the
Montgomery County Commissioners
for the apprehension of the kid
napper. ,
Major Adams said: "The State
Police never have collected any re-
wards and it is not going to begin
now. Gecelosky was only one of about
1870 troopers who had their hands in
that case and he is no more entitled
to the reward than the other men.
He was simply lucky enough. to be
at the spot along the railroad track
in New Jersey where Pasquale came
out of the bushes to pick up the bundle
thrown from the train.
"All members of the Pennsylvania
State Police are indignant that Gece-
losky has violated the precedent of the
force by claiming the reward, and II
he attempts to collect it by legal pro-
cedure every other man who was on
the case will enter similar claims, and
when the claims have been adjusted
every man, including myself, viii
waive his claim and turn back the
money into the Montgomery County
treasury"
