Drowning at Koshkonong.

The daily papers have carried the
story Of the drowning in Lake Koshko-
nong last Sunday Of Clayton Murdoch,
prosperous farmer from Jordan Prai-
RE near Brodhead. The deceased was
one of hunting party of five who Sun
day morning in small boat propelled
by an Evenrud motor and trailing be-
hind it small duck boat carrying the
men, started out for game. The lake
was calm when the party started out.
On their return the water was some
what rough The duck boat started to
fill with water and Murdoch and his
companions attempted to get into the
other boat. The extra weight caused
also this boat to fill and the men were
thrown into the water, the weight of
the motor causing the rear end of the
boat to sink. For more than two hours
the men cried for help. But people on
shore are so used to hearing all sorts of
calls from men on the lake that they
did not pay much attention to it. FL
nally VIM. Williams, another hunter at
Charley Bluff summer place, got into
a boat. A mile and a half from Char
ley Bluff he found and with great eff
fort succeeded in rescuing four Of the
party, now almost stiff with exposure
and struggle to hang on to the upturn-
ed boat. Murdoch had gone down. He
attempted to swim to shore. Realizing
that this would be beyond his strength
he returned, but went down a few feet
before reaching his comrades. The
body was recovered, a pulmotor brought
from GAINESVILLE and doctors called At
tempts at resuscitation were made but
without success. The other men were
cared for at the camp and made as
comfortable as circumstances would
permit. The drowned man leaves a
wife and two children besides other
relatives. The body was taken to
Brodhead for burial This is the first
serious accident on the lake this year.

Kiwanis Naval Day.

At the Kiwanis luncheon Tuesday,
Lawrence Curran was present and at
the request of the program committee
gave talk on the Naval academy at
Annapolis. In his modest way he told
how the naval school gets its students,
said that in olden times the appoint
ment went to the favorites of the sena-
tors and congressman from the different
states; now, however, any, boy may
succeed in entering as the candidates
must pass an entrance examination
after being appointed. A bright boy
with good high school preparation
stands good chance of passing the
academic test. The physical examina-
ton is conducted at the school. He de-
scribed the school life, both class work,
drill, and the social phases of the big
institution. The young men are under
strict discipline, but the training is ex-
cellent. The cadets themselves see
to it that any student who has a sur
plus of conceit is quickly dispossessed
of it. The school year is divided up
into eight months academic training,
three months practical training on
board ship during the annual cruise,
and one month vacation. Arrange
ments have been made to take care of
any surplus of graduates from the
academy not needed in the navy by
| comforting upon them the degree of B.
S. at graduation, giving them an equal
chance with graduates from regular
colleges in civil life.
Mr.. Curran was asked if he had ever
sscrossed the line." He stated that he
had not, but he knew that DR.. South
worth had. The men at once demand
ed that Dr. Sonthworth tell what hap
pens to man in the navy who for the
first time crosses the equator. The
doctor was equal to the occasion, and
told in his own droll way of his exper-
fence. Officers and men are initiated
without mercy and without distinction.
His Royal Majesty Neptune and his
retinue of courtiers take charge of the
ship, and the ceremonies which the
novice has to submit to are of nature
to make him remember that he has
crossed the line. 1t is fun to every
body except the person initiated. He
is manhandled by Neptune's royal crew
from the barber, the dentist, doctor
and attendants to the seabears who
duck him without mercy in a tank of
sea water. Having passed through the
ordeal a certificate is handed to him,
and he at once becomes veteran of
the tropics.

MAY AMEND IDAHO
DELINQUENCY LAW

Boise-At the request of the state
department of education Attorney
General Roy L. Black is preparing an
amendment to the child delinquency
law of this state, which, if approved
by the next legislature, will make
parents or guardians of a child par
ties to the action taken against the
minor.
Under the present law neither the
parent nor the guardian are made
parties to the action with the result
that under habeas corpus proceedings
after child is committed to the
state reformatory they are able to
bring action in the district courts or
before the supreme court.
Hardly any other state proceeds
against Juvenile delinquency as does
Idaho. But it is held that the failure
to make the parents or guardians par
ties to an action against the child is
clearly a defect in the law. Provision
is also made in the proposed amend
ment. to give probate judges power
to end parental control of the child
after commitment. The amendment
empowers the probate judge to en-
ter an order terminating their con-
troll if in his judgment he thinks that
is the proper thing to do.

LITERARY SHYLOCkS
PLY NEFARIOUS TRADE

Famous Womans Home journal .
magazine subscription agents are ne
fariously plying a buncum . trade
over the country, according to litera-
ture being sent out over the country
by ~ Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World which warn everyone to
be on the lookout for these literary
Shylocks.
The claim is made that the solici-
tors are making a house to house can
vass, placing the magazine on the
plea that they are earning funds to
continue their college education or
for some other good cause. These
agents exhibit fake credentials and
are apparently having some success
In separating people from their hard
earned money
The " Woman's Home Journal" it
is further alleged by the Advertising
clubs is an unfair trade on the re-
putation of two well-known publica-
tions, The Woman's Home Com
panion and "The Ladies' Home
Journal
Information received at the Star
Mirror office indicates that such a
campaign has evidently been waged
in this district where several persons
allege they have paid the subscription
price but that they have never re7I
ceived a copy of the periodical.

Community YOUNGSTERS
ENJOY CHRISTMAS TREAT

Approximately 1000 Moscow kiddies
marched around the big Elks' Christ
mas tree at the corner of Main and
Third streets Sunday evening, and
we're made happy with packages OF
nuts and candies handed out by
Santa Claus. While the little people
were the only ones to receive treats,
hundreds of grown-ups were on hand
to look after the children and to see
what was going on, the entire square
being blocked with people.
The snow had practically all dis
appeared and Santa Claus and Kris
IKringle were unable to get down
Main street with their sleigh and
reindeer, making making it necessary
for them to come to the Christmas
tree on a truck, on which the hund-
reds of packages were hauled. Ex-
allied Ruler y. S. Heckathorn, of the
Elks, introduced Santa Claus, who
made short talk, wishing everybody
merry Christmas, and then, with
his helpers, commenced to hand out
the gifts.
The tree was\ brilliantly lighted,
and with the hundreds of children
crowding around it, made a pretty
sight.
