Carroll, Ia, July 25.-(Specia1.) }
Exciting things do happen in Carroll.
A night or so ago Bernard Tanter,
a gay village Lothario, chose to take
his maiden fair riding in his car.
They were tusily discuss n 6
Froid's theory of psyche analysis or
the moon or some other interesting
subject when a lone and heavily
armed bandit interrupted them.
He stepped from a nearby corn
field and, being original, ordered
them to "Stick 'em up"
Bernard might have stopped the
car, engaged the bandit in mortal
combat and have won smile from
the maiden fair. But he didn't. He
stepped on the gas" to use the vul-
gar expression, and burned up the
road" toward home.
Sheriff in Pajarnas.
His first stop was the home of
Sheriff H. V. Jansen. Sheriff
Jansen, in his pajamas, listened to
Bernard's tale of the thrilling en-
counter and escape. He summoned
Deputy Sheriffs Langfeld, Glen
Weeks and,Tony Manneman. Armed
to the eyebrows they started out in
Bernard's car to find the bandit.
Bring on all your bandits, we'll
show 'em," boasted member of the
party as they rolled slowly on.
Into the Cornheld.
At this moment stepped forth the
bandit, his rife leveled. One of the
deputies opened fire. The bandit re-
piled with a single shot, dropped his
gun and disappeared again in the
cornheld.
The sheriff and his deputies were
all eager to follow the bold high
wayman, of course, but Bernard, who
was at the wheel, accidentally
stepped on her again" and a few
minutes later the party roared back
into Carroll.
But the efficient sheriff was TN
daunted. He telegraphed to Water
loo for bloodhound, and blocked
off the road that the bandits scent
might not be lost.
Wool, Wool, Bays Hound.
The bloodhound arrived, and with
a deep bay started the chase. The
sheriff and deputies, carrying large
quantities of ammunition, followed.
Strange to say the bloodhound led
them directly into Carroll. Stranger
still, he led them directly to the door
OF Earl Brown, an honest and re-
spected assistant to the village
smithy.

Problems That Perplex
Answered by
BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Don't Misjudge.

Don't Misjudge.
Dear Miss Fairfax: This summer
l met a young man who learned to
love me. he says, and has asked me
to marry him. | am fond of him.
but doubt the sincerity Of his dec
laration of love for this reason: I
am a young lady with a profession
and this young man. not being in
any position to marry ME and offer
me as much as l now enjoy of the
good things of life. has told me to
so my way and IL l can find anyone
who can offer me in marriage more
than he can, | must not consider
him or his feelings IL I part with
him. Can he. Miss Fairfax. i'm
plore you. really and truly, love me
and let me slip out of his life with
out even a thought of conquest
against the someone, who can offer
me more. or may his love be so un-
selfish as to give me up willingly to
someone who can provide more
amply for me than he.
PERPLEXED.
The solution of this attitude seems
to lie in the mans pride. his un-
self1shness and a certain weakness.
| OF course you'd admire him more
were he-to fight for the love he
wants and to struggle to get ahead
in the world so as to deserve it, But
you must not misjudge his unselfish-
| ness and his wish to see you have
| more than he can give. Perhaps he
, feels that If you really care, you will
wait. Perhaps he has masculine
! jealousy of your success. Be large
minded about the thing and try not
to Judge entirely from your side of
| the question.
Better Wait.
Dear Miss Fairfax: l am soon to
! be IS, and feel a great affection for
a certain girl, two years younger
than l. In fact, we love each other.
Now. I am a graduate from a high
school and wish to work my way
through a five or six-year course in
college. My friend Is especially
talented for music, and she desires
that we both pursue our own fields
for the next five or six years, after
which time we should get married.
Now, do not try to hide this friend
ship from my parents. who object
very strongly. This girl is slightly
lame, due to an accident In her early
life, and is not a very strong girl
I've tried to see II I could dislike
her. but / couldn't. Besides, my
parents say that if I wish to go
through a six-year college course 1
must forget about any girl, other
wise time and money will be wasted,
for l shall not be able to complete
the course. PERPLEXED.
My dear lad, you are child and
the girl you talk of marrying Is far
too young to be choosing her life's
partner If only you had been two
sensible young things and hadn't
talked Of romance and lived ro-
nance, you might manage to be
friends and enjoy each others COM
pany now and then. But in six
years you may develop along lines
altogether different from those of
her growth and you may have little
or nothing in common. Don't in
dulge in any heart breaking fare
wells" and don't bind each other
with pledges, but try to bring things
down to less hectic basis.

In Memory of
Our Sailor Dead

A feature Of the observance of Me-
mortal Day on Monday was that large
hydreplane from the Great Lakes Naval
Training Station circled over Keno
sha harbor and flew southwark to
Eichelman Park where a wreath of
flowers and shower of roses were
dropped into the lake in memory of
Kenosha sailors whose bodies lie bur-
led somewhere at sea. The big plane
was in charge of Ensign P. ]. Keane,
who had taken it to Racine for SINH
lar service and upon his return paid
tribute to Kenosha's sailor dead. He
offered his services to the Kenosha
Post of the American Legion to per-
form this bit Of tribute to the sailors
who gave their lives for their coun-
try. The episode proved one of the
most touching tributes paid to "those
who came not back" during the entire
day.

CALLS kENOSHA
TO AID STARVING
Meeting Called to Organize
to Aid the Chinese
Famine Sufferers.
APPEAL IS PERSONAL

An appeal to Kenosha to do her part
in aiding the starving Chinese was
made today when A. E. Buckmaster
called a meeting to be held this even
ing at eight o'clock at the Elks' club
to formulate plans for staging cam
paign in Kenosha for the cause. The
movement was started in Kenosha sew
eral weeks ago when the late DR..
Charles Mccarthy, then on his death
bed, wrote to Mr.. Buckmaster asking
that steps be taken to organize Chinese
relief funds in this city The death
of DR.. Mccarthy delayed the going on
with the plans and consequently while
the remainder Of the state has ans
wered the appeal, Kenosha in large
part has given but little.
Kenosha's Niece Appeals.
The appeal to Kenosha to aid is
made more personal one by reason
of the fact that niece Of Mr.. Buck
master, who is now a teacher in the
American College at Tientsin, has sent
the following description of conditions
in the famine stricken country:
"We are having famine here, the
worst of its kind the country has ever
known. Some parts of the country are
simply bare. l told you what we saw
north of Picking and Shantung Prov
ince and Honan, and the south part is
much worse The figures are put at
80 900, 900 and 100000 for the peo-
pie in the famine stricken districts
The stories they tell are awful. The
people are selling their land for song
just to keep from starving. They are
eating leaves and bark from trees, etc
Here in Tienasin we have now at least
$4,000 (refugees) with more coming
all the time. Sunday morning we went
over to see their camp, 1t was terrible
They are in huts about half under
ground. Think of human beings liv-
ing like that"
State Leaders Urge Action.
A recent letter from the Wisconsin
Headquarters of the Chinese Relief
Fund also urges that Kenosha do some
thing at once. ''No words can fully de-
scribe the sufferings which the people
of certain provinces of China are en-
during" declares this bulletin. MANY
thousands Of lives are being sacrificed
dut to starvation and there will be ne
relief except from outside for some
weeks until the first crop is harvested
America is doing much but not enough
A responsibility rests with US all anc
Kenosha should meet it quickly"
1t is believed that large number
of Kenoshans will answer the call this
evening and attend the meeting to or
ganize the work.

BLAINE VETOES
MATHESON BILL
Governor Sent Prohibition
Bill Back With Disap-

ASKS FOR new BILL
By a Special Correspondent

Madison, Because the Mathe-
son dry bill in his opinion is weak.
indefinite and uncertain; because if
conflicts with the Volstead act and
vitiates the constitution and law of the
United States, Governor John J. Blaine
on Monday night vetoed the bill and
asked the legislature to pass new
measure that will be reasonable and
certain in its terms"
incidentally Governor Blaine points
out that a ''pernicious" lobby at the
capitol is to be blamed for the incou-
gruous Matheson amendment and saws
there is plenty of time to enact a gooJ
strong enforcement measure if the
legislature can free Itself from the
sinister influences of the pernicious
lobby"
The bill is unnecessarily long and
involved, and for its enforcement red
tape is given more consideration than
there is means afforded for effective
enforcement" says Governor Blaine.
THE Matheson bill makes no penalty
for drunkenness. 1t leaves stalls.
booths and curtains in permit places
"a condition conducive to illicit sale
and consumption of liquor and other
immoral practices"
Asks for New Bill.
Governor Blaine said that a proper
bill should suppress the illicit sale of
"moonshine" and indicates that the
Matheson bill is weak in this partic
ular Neither is there anything in
this bill to prevent the illicit sale of
flavoring extracts, for beverage
purposes.
Governor Blaine calls upon the leg
islature to pass plain and definite.
and easily understood enforcement
law"
in some essential features this bill
conflicts with the Volstead act" de
clares Governor Blaine He says the
federal government has one law and
the state another. There should be
uniformity in the federal and state
acts, he says.
