guilty. The federal judge decided to
send them to the National Training School
for Boys at Washington.
This is in the way of court procedure
with which all are more or less familiar
But an epic was enacted before the judge
sentenced these boys and it is thus related
in the common parlance of an ordinary
news item:
After explaining the school he (the
judge) said he thought two years and
six months would be about enough for
each of them. Then it was that the
youngest Of them made an objection
and, very respectfully addressing the
court, requested that the sentence be
made three years. He said he wanted
the benefit of the training.
This was such strange request that
the court inquired more fully into the
case and questioned the boy closer. The
youngster stuck to it and urged that the
time be made three years. 1t was so
ordered.
The boys spiritual canniness puzzled
the judge because the judge was prudent
and wise, but it was this very quality in
honest-minded youth which caused him
who knew all hearts to declare: "Thou
hast hid these things from the wise and
the prudent and hast revealed them unto
Babes"
What rebuke was that boys stand to
the niggardliness of the sums which men
give to the training of the young. Men
love their young and they slave for them,
but they do not see clearly as that freck-
le-faced boy did. A golden opportunity
stared him in the face. He sensed it, real
lied it and wanted it wholly and in it's en-
tirety.
He saw education. He grasped what it
stood for. It meant chance to be a real
man equipped with the weapons that
man must have if he would carve a career.
He visualized conquest through knowl-
edge. He wanted the limit, the ultimate
of the ability to achieve.
That boy glimpsed the Importance of
education as unerringly as hound scents
the odor of his masters boots. The scene
and what he said to that judge would have
been master-stroke in the cause of edu-
cation had a motion picture machine been
there to reproduce the panorama and a
penman to perpetuate the words
It was boyhood asking manhood and
womanhood to open the door of oppor-
tlmity through education Though he
was to attain his chance as culprit he
wanted the education that the school
would supply to the limit of the sentence.
It was very simple. The child's mind
grasped but the one thought. Uncle Sam
was offering him school. The Judge had
told him and his companions what this
school was and of the trades that were
taught there; the modes of earning a re-
spectacle livelihood that it presented.
Forgotten the postoffice burglary For
gotten the judge and the jury. Forgotten
that the school term was the sentence of
the law for crime. Forgotten all except
the rainbow of knowledge that stretched
athwart the horizon of his future.

lege asks that we Make it a Million"
let's remember this little Florida boy 1t
will make us think and act straight and
that will render us generous. "And lit

HATRED FOR US. LEADS ALIENS
 ROB BANK
lnv rntcrnnttnnnl New. servIccl


 CHUGWATER. Wyo, Oct. 3l.-The hatred of two German sympathizes for America is believed by county off ciaIs here to have been the motive of an unsuccessful attempt to rob the Chugwater State Bank by Adolph Pfnder and Herman J Kusel
 The two men drew up to the bank in an automobile during the noon hour, rushed to he bank counter and ordered Cashier Robert Rollins to throw up his hands. Ducking beneath the counter Rollins grabbed a gun and opened fire on the bandits, serious ly wounding Kusel.
 Pfinder escaped but was captured two days later in Bushnell, Neb., llO miles from the scene of the holdup. after being trailed by a posse of dep uty sheriffs.
 In a confession to authorities here Prinder declared that the attempt to rob the bank was the first step in a declaration of war" that Kusel and himself had made upon the United States
 According to the alleged confession Kusel who was German born and was in this country when the World war broke out, conspired with Pfinder. Swiss by birth. to come to America and help in securing information that might aid Germany in the war. Pfinder was prevented, however, from leaving German dye factory where he was employed and did not reach the United States until a few months ago when he joined Kusel in opening clothing store in Bushnell, Neb.
 Their mutual hatred for this coun- ntry according to the confession of the pair to devise new ways of vent ing their fostering spleen, and the warped reasoning of fanatiCism even tually resulted in an alleged decision to combine revenge with profit by striking at what they conceived to be America's pocketbook. This they de cided. might best be accomplished by the robbery of banks, the pair beliey- ing that all banks were owned by the government. according to their con fession.
 Kusel was interncd at Fort Doug las, Utah. from March 12, 1918. until several months after the signing of the armistice, according to federad of ficiCials. He was arrested at Sterling Col, where he was conducting a sec ond.hand store. According to the re- port made to the department of justice at that time, the arresting agents found large quantity of spit fire" much dynamite and dozens of rifles, revolvers and boxes of ammunition in the store.
 "Spitfre" was preparation said to have been employed by enemy alien agents in setting fire to munition fac tories and bridges.

 In other circles number of con tributing factors to the rise in prices are pointed out
 l In the matter of Pennsylvania crude productions has continued to be restricted and sales made only when the producer has been forced to it by 1 business reasons. Consequently, it has become considerable of a task to find supplies of this grade of oil to meet the demand.
 l Significant of the situation in other fields is the announcement by the Cumberland Pipe Line Company that on and after October pipeline facili- ties have been pro rated among the companys patrons. This, 1t is stated by wcll-versed oil men, has been made necessary by the fact that oil in stor age in the Somerset CKentucky) fields has virtually reached the limit of the nnmnanN,s facilities
