ed around and warned them to be on
the lookout for Ceaser. A garage
man in. Winstad recognized Ceaser
from the description and accused him
of being the man wanted. Ceaser took

1t seems that Winstad is not as ad.
equately provided with a city holstry

lock Ceaser up in an empty room over
the pool hall.
When the authorities went to look
at their captive he was gone Sheriff

Other than the regular business
which came before the meeing wss
the address by Senator Amsden, who
had just returned from the session OF
the legislature at Pierre. Senator
Amsden gave review Of the impor-
tant bills and measures which came
before that body and a general talk
regarding the session. The Important
events of the session are the highway
law, the bonus measure, both of which
were passed, the censorship bill and
the repeal of the Sunday baseball and
moving picture laws which are on the
statutes at the present time, both Of
which fell by the way side. The leg
islature was flooded with petitions.
letters and kilograms from persons
interested in any of the bills request
ing that certain measures be referred
to the people for vote were intro
duced Chief amono them was tho
bill fostered by Richards, which hsA
been the target for great amount OF
rldicule all over the state. The pro-
posed bill was so clearly unconstitu-
tional that the senate refused 10 al
low it to 60 before the people and
consequently it will not be on the bal
lot in, 1922. The measures which will
be voted upon are the state bank, the
hydro-electric plant, the moving OF
the state. university, the abolishment
OF the Office Of state sheriff and the
repeal Of the Sunday Blue laws.
One Of the important measures
which passed is in connection with the
future Of the highways of the state.
Heretofore the federal, state and
county. governments have worked to-
gether to build the federal, state md
county roads. In 1919 the staka an
propriated $6,O00,000 for hieiways.
at this session s22, 100000 was appro-
priated. A measure to 60 into effect
in 1923 was passed which increases
the auto license tax. and the funds
so collected shall be paid to the state
highway fund to be used for the build
ing of highways.
The amount of the license will ba
made according to the weight, power
make and other details of the car.
ranging from s13 for cheap car to
S75 for the largest and biggest cars.
The state will take 70 per cent. Of the
fund so collected, 27 per cent. will 90
to the county and 3 per cent to the
state department fol administration
purposes.
During the past years, the appro-
prlations for the operation of the
state office has been more than
enough and the funds left over have
been turned back to the counties ac-
cording to the pro rata of the auto
license issued from that county. In
1919 the funds so distributed amount
ed to $4,000 and this year it amount
ed to $4,000 of which Grant county
will receive 1900. This amount can
be used for the maintainence Of roads.

Child WELFARE PROGRAM
PROPOSED AS remedy
MASS MEETING DISCUSSES MORAL DE-
LlNOUENCY OF CITY; PLANS MADE.

At a public meeting of the men of
the city at the High school auditorium
last Sunday afternoon Prof. Orr, the
principal of the High school, on be-
half of the teachers stated that while
the teachers were honestly endeavor-
ing to fulfill their duties while the
pupils were under their care, it should
-. not be asking too much of the parents
to have such supervision of their chill
dren while at home that the pupi!
could come to school in fit condition
to do the best work. This could not
be done if the child lacked the proper
amount of sleep, the night before, or
had indulged in unwarranted excite
ment. The parents ought to know
where their boys and girls are when
not at school, and that they were at
home at proper time in the evening,
and had full nights rest. This was
necessary if the child was to do the
best work in school.
DR.. Flett on behalf of the board of
education reviewed the work the
school is trying to do, and asked for
the cooperation of the home. He cited
some of the things that We're distract
ing the pupils from their work and in
juring the morale of the young life
OF the COMMUNICATIVE love sickening
movie-the public dance, and the
booze peddlers. The doctor called at
tention to the different attractions
that now appealed to the young life
from which former generations were
free, and asked for a closer supervi-
sion of home life on the part of par
entS.
Mr. Hunter thought that if a svS-
tenn of athletic training could be add
ed to the school it would help to give
fuller play to the young life and de-
tract from the evil outside influences.
Mr.. Phil Saunders stated that in
other communities, where similar con-
ditions existed, and these conditions
were pretty universal, it had been
found helpful to engage woman po-
iiceman to supervise public morals,
make recommendations and assist in
their enforcement, and stated that
the local red cross would be willing to
assist in securing such supervision it
it was deemed advisable.
Among other speakers who believed
that some action should be taken for
protection of the boys and girls of
the city, were Dr.. Lowthan and
Messrs. o. J. Coons, C. B. Bailey an,i
Frank Schadd, the latter as one Of the
students, suggested the holding Of
social dances in the school building
for the pupils only. Revs. Gaines,
Bast and Ray of the local churches
also voiced their desire to see the
moral condition of the city made as
helpful as possible for the young peo-
pie of the city.
Before the meeting adjourned, on
motion of DR.. Flett, the chairman,
Superintendent Souder, appointed the
following committee to consult with
the city council and board of educa-
ton, and formulate plans for the bet
ter moral protection Of the young peo-
pie of the city: Phil C. Saunders, G..
w. Martens, 0. ]. Coons, C. B. Bailey,
J.. C. Cahill.
