 THE FIGHTING STARKLEYs." By Theodore Roberts. Illustrated.
 The Page Company. publishers,
 Boston.
 "rhe Fighting Starkleys or The Test of Courage" Is one of Captain Roberts stirring tales of the Cana dian woods; the mystery, charms and folklore Of the silent dark places, are known to most red-blooded boys. Few authors combine his first-hand, lifelong knowledge of his material, and the strength and sympathy of his presentation.
 in the same setting of the north woods. the author has placed a thrill ing story, unusual of it's kind. Young StarlSley and Hammond. neighbors. join the Twenty-sixth battalion. The contrast between a strong and weak character develops a plot that is replete with dramatic situations, a story that is more pow erful and more pretentieus than any former work by Captain Roberts.
 The patriotism, courage and trust which are so prominent in the char acters of@the Starkley boys in com parison with the baseness of Jim Hammond, deserter and coward, whose regeneration, however, they later accomplish, will surely inspire like Ideals in the hearts of every boy who reads this story.

gressional leaders today that what
ever soldier bonus bill was enacted
should carry with it provision for
ia ising the revenue to finance the
bonus. arious means of obtaining
the money were discussed, but it was
said no conclusions were reached.
1t was agreed at a White House
conference that hte problems of fl
nances should be discussed jointly
by majority members of the house
ways and means committee and the
senate finance committee. Whatever
agreement is reached, it was stated,
would be submitted to the president
with a view to an accord between
the executive and legislative branch
es before the bill is submitted to the
house.
Chairman Fordney, of the house
committee, and Chairman McCumber
of the senate committee, said that
the inter-committee conferences
would be initiated soon, probably
within a day or two after the house
committee closed its hearings on the
bonus measure.
Both Representative Fordney, and
Senator McCumber said that none pt
the many suggested methods of rails
ing the funds, including use fo the
interest on the British debt, had
been eliminated as a result OF the
decision with the chief executive.
Besides Mr.. Fordney, house re.
publicans attending the conference
were Representative Mondell, of Wy
oming, the majority leader; and ReI
resentatives Green, Iowa; Long
worth, Ohio; Copley, Illinois, anc

HOT WATER WELL
TO Be UTILIZED
CAPA RESIDENTS TO DEVELOP A
HEALTH RESORT FROM FROM
FREAK ARTEsIAN WELL

Pierre, Feb. S.-The people locally
about Capa, 40 miles west of here,
have for years taken advantage of
the hot baths from the artesian well
at that place for their curative prop
critics, and the people of the place
itself have used this hot water i'm a
number of ways.
But there has been no particular
movement to call the attention of
the outside world to the conditions
at that place. Now company has
been organized to build a large ho-
tel at Capa and to bring the proper
ties of this well to more public at
tention.
The water from the well possesses
many of the characteristics of the
water at Hot Springs, in the south
ern Black Hills, but it is much warm
er than the flow from any of the
springs at that place.
The waite rcomes from the well at
temperature of 118 and it is hot
enough that when piped into build
ing it takes the place of fuel in keep
ing the structure warm.
The housewives who live near the
well draw upon it for the hot water
required for different culinary, pur-
poses, as 1t requires no heating for
such use.
With the new company organizing
this as a health resort different use
is to be made of it in the future

being T. s. Hansen, r. III. Wilson

MAKES RULING
FREE TUITION
Y. NJ. c. A. WORKERS, UNDER
CERTAIN CONDITIONS, CAN
ENTER STATE SCHOOLS

Pierre, Feb. S.-Persons in the
employ of the Y. M. c. A, If they
were residents of South Dakota and
performed active service in assisting
in the care of soldiers and sailors
at government hospital, field or
camp during the World war, are en-
titled to attend the educational in
stitutions of this state without the
payment of tuition if they are other
wise able to comply with require
ments for admittance, according to
a recent opinion written by Assist
ant Attorney General Sickle at the
request of r. A. Larson, secretary
at State college.
This is the first official explana-
ton of chapter 129 of the 1919 ses-
sion laws, which provides that any
person residing in the state "who
performed active war service, such
as nursing or assisting in the care of
soldiers and sailors in any govern
ment hospital, field or camp as a
member of the Red Cross or any
other similar organization engaged
in war relief work, which shall have
been recognized and approved by the
government of the United States dur
ing any of the periods hereinbefore
mentioned. shall upon complying
with all the other requirements for
admission be entitled to attend and
pursue any course or courses in any
state educational Institution, without
the payment Of charges for tuition. :"
1T is known that the Y. M. C. A.
was an organization engaged in war
relief work, and that it was recogniz-
ed and approved by the government
of the United States," Mr.. Sickle says
in his opinion. "The duty of deter
mining who are entitled to the bene-
fits of this act is imposed upon ae
board of regents, and it is for tnat
board to decide what the facts are"

SOUTH DAKOTA
BANDIT CAUGHT
ALLEGEDFMAIL SACK ROBBER
TAKEN IN MISSOURI.

Sioux Falls, Feb. S.-The arrest
at Joplin, Mo-, of George Heinrich,
alias George Stevens, alias Harry
Butler, for whom the McCook coun-
ty, S. D., authorities had been look
ing for many months, is expected to
solve the mystery in connection with
the theft of registered mail pouch
at Salem, S. D., on March 2, 1921,
and also the later theft at the same
place of $4,000 worth of jewelry
belonging to the travelling repre-
sentative of a wholesale jewelry
house. The prisoner now has been
turned over to the McCook county
authorities and is safely lodged in
the McCook county Jail pending his
preliminary hearing on the charges
against him.

thieves, who had posted a lookout"
in Salem, spotted several sample
trunks belonging to the jewelry
salesman and when they were taken
to a railway depot to be shipped out
the following morning the thieves
looted the depot warehouse.
The lock on the baggage room
door was forced and the trunks
loaded into a waiting automobile.
According to the officials who in
vestigated the robbery and trailed
the robbers, the car was driven
straight thrS6gh to Sioux City. The
bandits then took the stolen trunks
to a schoolhouse near Hawarden, Ia.
where they opened the trunks and
loaded the loot into grain sacks.
Then they burned the schoolhouse
in an effort to destroy the pilfered
trunks.
AS the methods used in the rob-
berry of the trunks and the register
ed mail sack were of much the same
nature. the officials believe the same
men were implicated in both robber-
les.

Expect Land Boom
In Midla a n d

Midland, Feb. S.-Local real es-
tate men are enthusiastic over the
excellent prospects for big business
the coming year. Hundreds of in
quiries are received from tax ridden
farmers and others in eastern states
who wish to come to the west and
settle on land that can be bought
outright for what Is paid in rent
back east. And the best of all is the
fact that with a little work the land
here and In this county can be made
to produce crops almost as good as
eastern land and In some cases bet
ter. The fact that land is cheap in
western s. d., good land being for
sale at from $25 to 500 per acre,
and that prospects for striking oil
are as good as they were in Wyom-
ing ten years ago, has made hum
dreds of people take notice of this

TAYLOR's ASSASSIN
MANY MOVIE ACTRESSES ARE
INVOLVED IN THE CASE.

Los Angeles, Feb. S.-One of the
biggest independent figures in the
movies was questioned in connection
with the murder of William Des-
mond Taylor by the district attorney
today. ! Operatives said he was a
new man in the case. This man, re-
Gently divorced, was said to be mad
in love with an actress who appar-
emily held Taylor in higher regard
than she did the man being ques-
toned. He is reported to have pro-
posed marriage to the actress whose
silken nightgown was found in Tay-
lor's apartments. Still another in
vestigation involved the son of a
multi-millionaire eastern family.
Other operatives were working on
the theory that Taylor was shot by
a hired assassin. They believed the
assassin might have been employed
by Edward r. Sands, who is sought
in connection with the case. Three
men questioned at Elko, Nevada,
yesterday proved not to be Sands.
Mary Miles Minter who professed
great love for Taylor was in state
of collapse and closely guarded at
her home. No one was allowed to
approach. Mable Normand who col
lapsed at Taylor's casket at the fun
eral yesterday was in the care of a
physician. Police today made pub
lie more passionate love letters,
found among Taylor's effects at his
apartments.

the school short time ago and the
county superintendent, who knew
the school was being held, but who
didn't know just what the young
man had accomplished, suggested
just as we were going that everybody

response. Not only had the pupils
been taught to sing this song, but
they had been trained as chorus
