PUT BAN ON
CIGARET SELLING
STATE AND COUNTY OFFICIALS
UNITE TO ENFORCE STATE
Law IN AUDUBON COUNTY

State officials have sent commun-
ications to all county officials that
the sale of cigarettes must be stopped
in all counties of the state, at once.
County Attorney l.. Dee Mallonee
and Sheriff Jorgensen have each been
given their instructions. As long as
the law is on the statute books in
Iowa, officials declare that its pro-
visiofes will be enforced.
This law has been in force for
many years. Before the war pro-
gram was on foot to put ban on the
smoking of the pill. During the war
the law was universally ignored and
1t was then that the minor saw his
opportunity of doing what his "big
brother" was doing. County Attor-
ney Mallonee was interviewed with
reference to the state law and gave
US the following outline:
Dealers who are convicted of SELL
ing or even having on their premises
either cigarettes or cigarette papers,
on conviction for the first offense
shall be fined not less than $25 and
not more than $50, and shall be i'm
prisoned in the county jail until their
fine is paid. Conviction for the Sec
ond offense calls for fine of not less
than 500 and not more than $500 or
Imprisonment in the county jail of
not to exceed six months. In addi-
ton to the penalty imposed on the
dealer he may also be held liable for
the mulct tax of $500 and the owner
of the building in which he does bus
mess may also be required to nay the
Mulct tax to that amount.
The law regarding the use of Gig
arettes by persons under 81 is no less
stringent. 1t is unlawful for such
persons to smoke cigarettes in any
public place, on any public highway
or street or on any other than their
own premises unless accompanied by
their parent or guardian. A fine of
$40 or three days in Jail is provided
for each offense. The testimony OF
but one witness is sufficient ID con-
Yict them. But one of the proisions
of the law against smoking by minors
that makes the law against their sale
easy to enforce is provision in the
latter measure that the sentence i'm
posed on a minor is automatically
suspended IL he will give evidence as
to where he bought the cigarettes
It is this feature that will make it
well nigh impossible for boys to buy
cigarettes when the law is being en-
forced.
The sheriff. constables and city
marshalls are charged by the county
attorney to bring all violations of the
law TO his attention.

CHILDREN ATTEND SCHOOL
Willing Hands at Gray Make 1t Pos
sible for All Pupils to Reach
Their School

The greatest snow storm OF the
year did not serve as a very serious
handicap in the transportation OF
school children to the Gray CONSOLE
dated school, for Monday about %
men from Gray and the country
went out over che route and shovel
ed the snow out>of the road and left
behind them an open highway over
might pass at will.
One of the coneyances made part
of the route Monday morning before
any armstrong work had been done
but the other drivers had more to
contend with in the variation OF the
contour. But by night each route
was open and both drivers made the
trip Tuesday morning and evening.
In cooperation there is strength
and by it work that would have been
utterly impossible single handed was
made matter of only a few hours.
In some cases farmers would join
the shovelers as they came along and
help the rest of the way and in other
places they would entertain the snow
movers while the good work went
ahead.
The bunch which went west had
about ten miles 10 cover and before
that was done there was the flank
lest" kind of feeling with all and
lunch was a word often used. When
the house of Wilson Davis was reach
ed one of the men went in with a
hard-luck story and came back with
twelve egg sandwiches Zone each),
cookies and bucket Of water. The
proverbial golden egg had nothing
on those eggs used in making those
sandwiches. Every one was life
saver" and not one of that bunch Of
snow handlers would ever have the
nerve to eat one of those hens, for
he would consider il the highest act
of murder to kill a hen that could
lay eggs like those.
