The law on the subject is as fol-

ed The law on the subject is as fol-
lows:
at shall be unlawful for any per-
son under the age of twenty-one
years to smoke or use a cigaret or
cigarets on the premises of another,
or on any public road, street, alley,
or park or other land used for public
purposes, or in any public place of
amusement, except when in company
of his parents or guardian.
Amy person found guilty OF vio-
lating the provision hereof shall be
punished by fine not to exceed ten
dollars or Imprisonment in the coun-
ty jail not to exceed three days"
e. While it is just as much against
the law to smoke cigarets on the
street today or tomorrow as it is on
Monday, the officers have fixed the
latter date in order to give all fair
warning.
Another order which will go into
effect at once is that any person
caught on the streets after eleven
O'Clock who cannot give reasonable
excuse for his presence, will be ar
rested under the vagrancy law. The
movement is directed principally at
those VINO have mo apparent means
OF srnDOrt" and is put into effect in
an effort to prevent any robberies
or other crimes. No one having any
legitimate business on the streets
will be molested, but vags will be
picked up without argument, and
lodged in jail.

Thorval Petersen who resides west
of Kimballton, received number OF
painful injuries last Sunday evening
when the automobile he was driving
collided with a team near the Law
renee Axelsen farm, east OF Elk
Horn. Petersen was driving with
out lights and did not notice the APP
preaching team. He was thrown
through the windshield by the force
of the collision, and received a num-
Der of painful cuts, his face and
arms being badly lacerated. One
hand was bruised considerably and
one or more fingers broken.
The team with which the automo-
bile collided was driven by children
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. p Hansen. One
of the horses had both front legs
broken and a bullet put an end to
its sufferings. The children in the
vehicle were uninjured but were
naturally frightened at the uncxpect-
ed event.
Mrs. Thorval Petersen was driv-
ing a car directly behind the car
piloted by her husband and Peter
sen thought that this would afford
an abundance OF light. He Gid not
see the team, however, and the trip
will undoubtedly prove rather ex-
pensive. Mrs. Petersen saw the ac-
cident in time to turn out and pre-
vent a more complicated smash-up.

Farmers Arrested at Harlan.

A couple of farmers from the Elk
/ Horn neighborhood were arrested in
| Harlan Friday evening on a charge
! of bootlegging, and arraigned before
! Justice Dunlavy. The Justice took a
! bond for their appearance, signed by
/ themselves, and let them go home.

hearing when the county attorney

them.
Their arrest followed the discov-
erv Of a bottle OF so-cailed white
mule" in their car, after they had
| marked It on the square. AS they
drove into town, one of the two had
occasion to go into an alley for a
few minutes. An officer saw him
go. became suspicious. and searched
the car, finding the liquid-what-
ever X Is.
I The owner OF the car told the JUS
tice he had not been away from
home for three weeks prior to Tues
day, but had husked corn every day.
Tuesday he went to a duck shoot at
Elk Horn. hoping he might get a
duck for Thanksgiving. After the
shoot. he and a neiehbor drove to
Harlan on bit or business. Both
denied any knowledge of the bottle
did not know II was in the car
didn't even know whether the officer
found 1t in their car. II they were
telling the truth, and the justice
thinks they were. II must be some

BABY Left on Doorstep.

A six-weeks-old baby boy was left
on the porch of Postmaster and Mrs.
c. A. Britch, of Ida Grove, Thurs
day evening, between 8 and 8
o'clock. Mrs. Britch and Mrs. F. c.
Meyers were sitting in the parlor
of the Britch home when the front
door was heard to open and shut.
Mrs. Meyers went to the door and
found a pasteboard box, and called
Mrs. Britch. The latter carried the
box into the sitting room and upon
opening it found the baby boy sound
asleep. Mr.. and Mrs. Britch never
have had any children OF their own
and the little lad who has thus been
thrust into their care, has received
warm welcome, and will be given
the very best possible care. 1t is
thought that whoever left the child
on the postmaster's porch knew
both him and his wife, and the per-
son who deposited him there would
have had time to reach the home
after the arrival of the first east
bound train and then to catch the
flyer.

Land Values Are Doubled.

Farm land values in the two coun-
ties of Adair and Audubon have
more than doubled in the last decade
according to statistics compiled and
just made public by the United
States department Of agriculture.
The figures are almost identical
in each county. In round numbers
the land values in each county ten
years ago totaled $32,000,00O, COM
pared with S73,000,00O for 1920.
The figures include not only the
value of farm land, but the improve
ments as well. The actual figures
as given by the department show the
farm values in Adair county in 1910
to have been S32,897,S29, compared
with $73,94S,995 for 1920, an in
crease of 1872 percent. The 1910
values in Audubon county were
,464, compared with $751;
302,732 in 1920, gain OF 1928
per cent.
The total acreage in Adair county
is given as 346,5S acres, OF which
220,646 acres are listed as improv-
ed. This is divided into 2,112 farms,
on which there are 972 tenants, the
remainder being operated by the
owners. The number of tenants in
1910 was eos, an increase OF but Z
per cent. This refutes the oft-re-
peated remark that the number OF
/ tenants is steadily growing. There
4 has been, however, a decrease of lis
| in the number of farms in Adair
county in the decade covered by the
figures. ......,
The figures for Audubon county
do not vary greatly from those OF
Adair county in so far as percent
ages go. In Audubon county there
are now 1918 farms, as compared
with 1897 ten years ago, decrease
of Az per cent. There are TIA ten
ants on the farms in Audubon coun-
ty now, as compared with 6S5 ten
wears ago, or an increase OF AZ per
cent.
Audubon county has an acreage
of 277,570 acres, Of which 26O,9SZ
acres are listed as improved.

NO PROFITEERING
in COAL Price
Attorney General Directs
District Prosecutors to
Keep Tab on Prices
ONLY 40 CENTS ON
TON PERMITTED

WASHINGTON. April 3. UNITED
Pressl Attorney General Palmer today
notified all district attorneys to watch
coal prices In their localities to halt
proflteering resulting from removal OF
government price regulations April 4.
An average Increase Of 40 cents per
ton may be taken as a maximum reas-
enable Increase likely to result from
the raising OF miners wages 81 per
cent, according TO a letter Palmer sent
district attorneys.
The letter reads:
''Now that government regulations
OF prices has been discontinued there
are indications OF an exc ,ssive in
crease in the price OF biium nous coal.
"Our total annual production rs ap-
proxlmately 5O0,O00,OO0 tons 1t is esti-
mated that the total increase In wages
will be approximately s20O,000,00O per
annum. II this entire amount Is added
by the operators 10 the price, 1t would
make only an Increase Of 40 cents per
ton. II. however, the operators absorb
the "a per cent. increase which became
effective 10 December there viii eb left
only s96.O00,OOO to be passed on to the
consumers. In this event the Increase
OF the price OF coal at the mine would
amount to 20 cents a ton.
Il understand that an exaggerated
estimate OF the demand for export coal
Is affecting the market price, particu-
larly from Illinois east. this demand
having been estimated al as much as
100000 tons But am advised that
our port facilities are only adequate
for the export Of 100000 tons per
annum. that Is TO say only six per cent.
OF our total production"
.'This should mol be taken an as ex-
cuse for raising the prices for home
consumption II Is probable that nor
NAL conditions win shortly be re-
stored and fair prices win follow. In
The meantime please receive and con-
s der complaints OF profieering which
may arise in your district under the
Lever act"
Palmer Is believed to be acting In
line with he statement OF President
Wilson. who in notifying operators Of
the removal OF price regulations, warm
ed that effective measures would be
taken 10 prevent pr0i.eerlng.
