Kidnap Driver and Take
Is Pouches; Make a
Clean Getaway.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Six bandits
today held up a postoffice motor
truck carrying air mail to Check
erboard field for the morning
flight to Omaha, kidnapped the
driver and escaped with the truck
containing 16 pouches of business
mail. The value of the mail has
not been ascertained but postal Of
ficials believe it was not large.
The robbers, armed and in a
touring car, drove off with william
Hogan, the truck driver, prisoner,
while two OF their number made
away with the truck.
Postal inspectors expressed be-
lief that the robbers had intended
te intercept a truck carrying valu-
able mail under heavy guard which
leaves the central postoffice daily
a short time after the air mail truck
departs.
Near Police Station.
The holdup occurred about
three miles from the police head
quarters when the robber car drew
up behind the truck and Hogan
was hailed.
When he turned in his seat he
was looking into the muzzles of
four or five pistols, he told in
spectors, and quickly was dragged
from his seat and thrown into the
bandits automobile.
hour later. he was elected
from the car several miles from
the scene OF the holdup, he said,
and telephoned the postoffice.
The flying field was informed of
the robbery and the mail plane
started for Omaha empty, and 40
minutes behind schedule.
No Registered Mail.
Hogan was unable to give a de-
tailed description of the robbers,
who he said, bundled him into their
car and pushed him down between
the seats.
While the kidnapping was being
carried out, two of the bandits drove
away with the mail truck.
The postoffice announced no reg
istered mail was in the truck. Six
teen pouches, mostly business mail,
and not believed to contain securi-
ties or currency, were taken.

HARDING IS
PLEDGED TO
AID FARMER
Lawrence Tells Why Pres
ident's Speech Mention
ed Rural Problem.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
Washington, D. c., Nov. s22.-
President Harding's purpose in in
serting paragraph about farmer
aid in his message to congress on
ship subsidy has naturally stirred
up good deal Of curiosity. The
special session was called for con-
sideration of the merchant marine
bill only. The regular session be-
gins in December when Mr.. Hard
ing's annual message covering a
variety of subjects will be read.
There was no outward reason why
promises of farmer relief :. need
have been included in the ship sub
sidy address. Why was it done?
The answer, as given in admin
istratfon quarters, is that President
Harding expects to be comforting
in the next ten days with members
of the farm bloc in congress who
are more or less hostile to ship
subsidy. He will be comforting with
them primarily to get their ideas on
the recommendations he should
make to congress during the reg
ular session beginning in Decem-
Der. He will also be discussing
ship subsidy. MIR. Harding wanted
to prevent the impression from
being spread that he was trading
an agricultural credit plan to win
farm support for the ship subsidy.
He deliberately inserted a para
graph in his ship subsidy message
about it 80 that the farming inter-
ests would recognize that he
stands committed to government aid
for the farmer. He wants it under
stood that he is for that plan ire
spective OF the outcome of the ship
subsidy controversy.
Not Political Trade.
His purpose therefore, was to
give q public pledge to the farmers
before he began any conferences
with farm bloc senators about ship
subsidy. It isn't . trade therefore

On Friday next, December %,
school will be dismissed for the
Christmas holidays, to reeonvene on
Tuesday, January 2, 1923, making a
vacation of six school days.
The health survey just completed
by Miss NJ. A. Airth, graduate
nurse employed by the Nevada
State Health Association, revealed
health conditions in our schools
fully up to the standard of the
better schools in the state. Accord
ing to Miss Airth's findings, our
pupils are above the standard in
freedom from physical defects.
Comparatively few cases of defec-
tive sight or hearing were found.
Also, very few case of throat and
nasal trouble were discovered. 1t
was found that as rule the boys
did not care for their teeth as well
as the girls. Much Improvement
can be made in this direction. As
means of effecting such improve
ments the third, fourth, fifth and
sixth grades will, after the Christ
mas vacation, utilize the Modern
Health Crusade system of inculcat-
ing health habits. as Miss Airth
thought that best results with the
system would be secured in those
four grades.
Eighty-fve notices of physical de-
fects, such as underweight, dental
carries, dirty teeth, ETC., have been
sent to parents. Unless parents
notified take steps to remove these
handicaps to their children's health
large part of the benefit of such
survey will be abortive. The cost
in taxes, human happiness, and
efficiency is too great to warrant
neglect of such matters. Pupils
handicapped by i'll health and ply
steal defects fall behind in school
work, become repeaters or retard-
ates, and cost excessively to edu.
cate imperfectly. They become the
drifters, tn ne'er do wells in life.
