PLEAD GUILTY To
BURGLARY CHARGE
MEN ARRESTED HERE TO SERVE
PENITENTIARY TERM FOR
ASOTIN BURGLARY.

Dan Sullivan and James Mcdonald
two men arrested in Moscow, March
IL, on a yagrancy charge, and taken
last Thursday to Asotin to answer a
charge there of burglary, both
pleaded guilty to the charge placed
against them when arraigned before
the superior court there is morning,
according to telephone message
received by the Latah county sheriff S
office just before the noon hour to-
day.
According to the Washington state
laws, conviction on charge of first
degree burglary carries with it a sem
tence Of five years in the state peni-
tentiary, and it is quite probably that
the men will receive maximum
sentence at the hands of the AsOtin
court, for both men are alleged to
have been implicated in several other
robberies and safe-cracking jobs in
this part of the country, and have
both been given Jail sentences in the
state of Washington on previous occa-
sions.
Burglarized Clothing Store
The two men were charged with the
burglary of the j. B. Pollard cloth
ing store at Asotin, which occurred
there during the past winter. Mr..
Pollard identified several articles of
clothing worn by the men as part of
the loot taken from his establishment,
and finger prints Of the men tailed
with those found on the safe and show
cases of the store.
They were arrested in Moscow,
March 12, after they were seen hiding
quantity of nitro glycerine under
the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany's warehouse by two small boys,
Alvin Hall and Frank Estes, who
procured the explosive and turned
it over to the county authorities.
Both men were found to be dangerous
criminals, their records, as obtained
from the federal bureau of criminal
Identification at Fort Leavenworth,
showing that they had served various
terms in both federal and state pri-
sons for burglary and robbery. 1t is
thought that when apprehended here
they were planning to pull off local
g job" nipped in the bud by the lucky
discovery of the two Moscow youths.

SEEKS ANNULLMENT OF
MARRIAGE TO CARDWELL

Violet Cecil Cardwell this morning
instituted an action in the district
court against Bud Clifford Cardwell
for the annulment of marriage decree,
which, according to the complaint
filed by the plaintiff, took place at
Weippe, Idaho, on March IA, 1928.
The plaintiff alleges in her COM
plant that her consent to marry
Cardwell was obtained through a
fraud practiced upon her, and that her
consent would not have been given
unless the specified fraud had not
been used by the defendant. She is
alleged to be without funds for the
payment of counsel in the case and
for the securing of witnesses to prove
the alleged act of fraud on the part
of the defendant.
The case is one which will un-
4doubtedly attract considerable atten-
ton when it is brought up in the
district court, and is one which con-
tains some startling accusations.
Both the parties involved are resi-
dents of Weippe, a small town up the
Clearwater river.

How long have you been burning woco Pep? Upon your answer to this question much depends, for if you were buying Woco Pep on March 15 five years ago. something pleas ant may be In store for you.
 Motorists who remark that they have been using Woco for years and years will do well to turn back over the five years that span the distri- button of Woco Pep in Birmingham. for it is hard to realize that such an organization has been perfected in this short time.
 On March 15, 1918, Wofford oil company began to market blended motor fuel under the name of Woco Pep, marking the beginning of what was destined to be one of the fore most industries of the Magic City, and it is the folks who bought this new motor fuel on this day for whom the Wofford Oil company is seeking. Think back and see if you were one of those early purchasers on the day of this first sale of Woco Pep. Mail your name and address to the com pany and perhaps, unlike Caesar, the Ides of March will be lucky day for you. Who knows?

Chicago Utility Companies Set Out to Americanize Their Employes-Sys-
 tematic Method Used

CHICAGO, March 3.-As a result of Americanization work among em- ployes of the six public utility com panies under the direction of Sam uel Insull of this city, 99.T9 per cent of the employees of these companies are either American citizens or have signified their intention of becoming such by taking out naturalization papers, according to the report of the joint committee on Americaniza- ton of the companies which has just completed a survey.
 This record Is regarded as unique among the industries of the country when it Is considered that these pub lie service companies have a total Of 24,214 employees and their operations extend over fifteen states and all classes of workmen are employed.
 This result was brought about by intensive Americanization effort cov- ering a period of eighteen months among the employees of the Peoples Gas Light and Coke company, the Commonwealth Edison company, Chi cago Elevated Railroads. Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad. Middle West Utilities company and the Public Service Company of North ern Illinois.
 The report just made tO MT. Insull by the committee shows that on Jan uary 1, 22,27e or 91.s7 per cent of the employees of tho six companies were American citizens.
 Those who were in possession of their first papers and who will gain the full rights of citizenship within the next few months. numbered 1893, or 7.S2 per cent
 Take Up Citizenship.
 Only 51, or 21-10o Cf per cent were not citizens or had not taken out first papers; Some Of those who had not yet declared their intentions of becoming citizens expected to do so within a few weeks.
 The Peoples Gas Light and Coke company, 1f Chicago. which was the first of the Insull companies to take up the matter of citizenship, received first honors in Americanization work. every one of its employees being eith- CT a citizen or in possession of first naturalization papers.
 The other companies under MT. In- sull's management. operating in Chi- cago, have a citizenship record al- most as perfect. Only two employees of the Chicago Elevated railroads were not full-fledged voters or were without their first papers on the first of the year, and they were plan ming to take the first step toward becoming citizens in the near future.
 The most difficult of the situations encountered in this Americanization program fell to the lot of the Chi cago, North Shore and Milwaukee railroad. Workmen employed by that company were all aliens. Altogether, Is nationalities were represented, with Creations and Italians predom- mating.
 The first step was Grders from Britton I. Budd, president of the com pany, discontinuing the practice of keeping labor in boarding camps

Do you know why insurance com panies refuse to insure great many men because they are under weight? Simply because to be under weight often proves low fighting-power in the body. It often means you are minus nerve-power, minus red-cells in your blood, minus health, minus energy, minus vitality. It is serious to be minus, but the moment you increase the number of your red blood-cells, yeu begin to become plus.

The commits sary was improved, baths were pro vided, close attention given to clean Illness about the camp. and finally Y. M. c. A. secretary was employed to look after their recreation.
 Systematic Educafion.
 After further study of the situa- tion 1t was decided that a systematic course of education should be estab- lished to assist these foreign born employees in becoming citizens The first survey showed over 30 per cent of them could not speak English; 75 per cent could not read it ,and 25 per cent could net read or write their own language.
 The company engaged an experi- enced instructor to direct the work and he was assisted by men in the organization. Schools were fitted up in buildings belonging to the com- pany at various locations along the line. Classes were held on specified evenings.
 The first step was instruction in EHSllSn. Later EnBllSn was supple mented with simple courses of study in grammar, arithmetic and govern ment.
 After several months of this inten- sive educational work certain day was set as first paper day" upon which all foreign employees who had not yet declared their intentions of becoming American citizens could do so. Arrangements were made to re- ceive the applicants at the court house in Waukegan, Ill, and Ken osha, Racine and Milwaukee, Wis, and the day was made gala oc- ca sion. As result of this, the mem- Der of employees among the trackmen who were not citizens dropped from 90 per cent to 27 per cent.
 The educational work proved such 3 success that it is being continued.

CHANNEL ISLANDS ARE ASKED ID A|D PURSE IF ENGLAND
Jersey and Guernsey, of Cat tie Fame, Receive Benefits From Great Britain
 Without Cost

LONDON, March 3.-The Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey may well be called the happy isles. Not only does nature favor them with an ideal climate. but they enjoy also most of the advantages of being vitally parts of the United Kingdom with little of the burdens of mem- bership in that political body. AL though only a few miles from the coast of France the islands are British dependencies. and while hay ing the privileges of British citizen ship and the protection of the Brit ish navy and army in case of need. are In matters of government and finance practically independent. At tracted by the low rate of taxation, many retired English people have been migrating to the islands since the war. Finance tends to come to a level, however, because this influx of prospective residents has brought up the prices of house property in the islands so much that what is gained through low taxation is nearly cancelled by high rents and house prices.
 The Home Secretary has now ad- dressed letters to the "Bailiffs and States" which Is the title of the governing bodies of the two islands, asking them to make an annual con- tribution to the imperial exchequer.
