JUDGE BUSINESSES
PIPER GAS CASE
De Worse Did Not Use Mis-
representations in Charg-
ing Gasoline.
PIPER MAY PAY

Fred De Worse was discharged by
Judge Slater in the municipal court
late Friday afternoon and the case
against him in which he was charged
with securing gasoline on false mis-
representation by using the name of
Howard Piper, was dismissed. The
young man had been brought here
from Milwaukee on the charge and in
Jail for ten days waiting his hearing,
and his release came as victory for
the contention of his counsel, Stewart
and Vaudreuil, that no intent to mis-
represent had been shown.
New Witness Testifies.
The dismissal of the case occurred
when R. C. Wilton, driver for the
Standard Oil company, testified Friday
afternoon that De Worse had not asked
him to charge thirty gallons of gaso-
line to Piper's account.
81 did charge it to Piper but De
worse didn't ask me to do So" said
Wilton. Il placed the charge against
Piper because the gasoline was de-
livered to his farm and placed in his,
Piper's tank, and in such cases it is
customary to charge the gasoline to
the account of the man who owns the
farm"
Attorney Vaudreuil, who represent
ed De Worse in court and who declared
that the district attorney was operat-
ing as a collection agency" and that
the criminal law was being used for
the collection of a private debt,
again moved for dismissal of the
case.
81 see no intent to misrepresent on
this testimony" agreed Judge Slater,
ordering a dismissal of the case and
the discharging of the defendant.
Attorney Vaudreuif then asked the
court that Piper, the complaining wit
ness, be required to pay the costs of
the case.
81 will talke this matter up with
the district attorney" replied the
judge.

EVERYONE MUST
LOOK TO HEALTH
To Safeguard Health Com
munity Should Take
ScrupulOus Care.
GET DOCTORS ADVICE
Rv DR.. C. ROBINSON.

Fellow American College of Surgeons
The day will soon come when the
health of a community will. be safe
guarded just as carefully and in fact
more so than is our social and civic
safety by the police. and other agen-
cies, whether it be city, town or coun-
try.
To the foregoing must be added the
habits and actions of the individual
himself of acquiring and practicing
those rules which build for health and
prosperity. Not for himself alone but
for the good Of all.
What then is a health examination
Who gives them? Where, when and
how?
Purpose of Examination.
A health examination is putting
yourself into the hands of a compe-
tent physician for a complete exam
ination and to find out just what you
are and where you stand in the matter
of bodily health.
The government has given health
examinations for many years that
are very rigid. You must be physic-
ally fit or you cannot be employed by
Uncle Sam in any<of~h great depart
ments, or enter his army or navy.
Lessons Mortality.
Many of the states hold health ex-
aminations for all boys and girls who
desire to go to work before they are
16 years of age. Insurance compan-
les are taking up this work and it has
been found that policy holders may
add years to their lives by submitting
to health examination from year &c
year and accepting sound advice as to
their habits.
Many unions too are requiring an
annual health examination. They
know it is paying investment in les
SEEMING the cost Of sick benefits. The
examinations or physical tests are
given by government or company doc
tors at certain stated periods. The
dates of which may be ascertained by
writing to any of the parties con-
cerned.
1t might be well to have the doc
tor for supper once in while in or
der to check up little and talk over
the health affairs of the family and
the community. Let him divide up

ailments

Dance Hall Law
Raises Problems
(By United Press)

Madison, Wis.-The new dance hall
law, recurring all dance halls to pay
license fee and forbidding minors
from attending dances, is raising a
number of questions concerning its
administration.
BY ruling of the attorney generals
office given out today this law is held
to apply to all dances to which the
public is admitted upon payment OF an
entrance fee. 1t makes no difference
if private individuals or private or
CARNATIONS give the dances If admis-

public dances.
The decision was rendered on re-
quest of Deputy Attorney General

Bay. If private individuals or organi-
cations give dances with limited
number invited the dance does not

Great as was the shock to all who
dwelt under the American flag and to
peoples in many lands for Harding by
virtue of his Office his kindly and his
lovable personality had become a
world figure, the great shock came to
his wife reading by his side but she
did not collapse.
"She was shocked, of course, and at
first unable to realize that she had lost
the husband who had made up all the
interest in her life for so many proud
and happy years." said General Saw
yer later. "'But there was no collapse,
no hysteria, Just brave rally to face
her sorrows and the duties devolving
upon her at this hour"
Widow Stands Shock Well.
Mrs. Harding was standing the shock
we'll early today but whether she could
stand up under the grief that bore
down upon her as the sad journey back
to Washington is made was another
question. Those who know her best
say that she will.
When dawn crept over the mountains
and lighted UP the golden gate this
morning almost all of the arrange
ments for this trip-the saddest trans
continental journey in the history of
the nation had been made. The trip
will be started about z o'clock this eve
ming and should end in Washington
Tuesday morning. From that point the
arrangements have not been definitely
made but it rs expected that the body
will lie in state in the rotunda of the
capitol where a Borrowing people have
often times before paid their last re-
spects to their leaders and the heroes
they have loved.
Burial at Old Home.
The burial will be at Marion, Ohio,
the small Ohio city which Warren G.
Harding made known around the world
because there, from poor and humble
surroundings, he struggled upward un-
til the American people awarded him
the highest gift and paid him the
greatest honor within their power ia
bestow. President Harding was a man
who loved "the home folks" and if he
had had time to leave a parting word
last night it undoubtedly would have
contained instructions that he be bur
led in the town that knew him as
Warren" and where he called most
every one by their first names.
The trip across the continent will
be made on the same train that car
red the chief executive, a well happy
and hopeful man to the Pacific coast
It's route will take 1t through Reno
Ogden, Cheyenne, Omaha, Chicago ant
thence to Washington. 1t will make
no stops except to change engines anc
for other operating purposes.
The body of the president will bt

borne in>the same car that carried him
to the west. 1t will be accompanied
by the same party that accompanied
the executive when he left Washing
ton June 20, with the addition of At
torney-General Daugherty, General
Pershing and Mr.. and Mrs. Remsberg
family of Santa Anna, Calf, Mrs,
Remsberg being sister of Mr.. Hard
ing.
Naval and military honors will be
paid the dead commander by the army
and navy throughout the whole trip
Two soldiers and two sailors members
of the guard of honor of sixteen en-
listed men and two officers, will stand
at attention beside the casket. The
car bearing the body will be lighted at
night and the whole train probably
will be draped in black.
The body of the president lay today
in the room in which he suffered and
died. 1t will remain there before be-
ing taken to the train, and just before
that is done, the very simplest pri-
vate services will be held.

SILVER MINES HAVE FUTURE.

One of the strongest influences to keep up silver prices in the
market at present is probably the smaller imports from Mexico
Normal shipments from that center are about 100000 ounces
monthly but in April they were down to 100000 ounces. Total
silver now being used by the Mexican government for coinage
purposes is estimated around $1,000 900 ounces monthly.
India is realizing on a bumper wheat crop and cotton move
ments at Bombay are also larger despite the June rainy season.
Rainfall in India has been exceptionally general and some
what early, having started around May 18. The temporary adj
vance of the monsoon in the southeast bay has been actually in
creased since that date.
An approach to a settlement of the European situation is
bound to have considerable influence on the price of silver. Any
weakness in silver during the past several years has been due to
the melting down of the silver currencies of the various countries
there, amounting to from 350,0 900 to 40Oy0 00. 900 ounces.
Silver holdings of the principal banks of Europe are about
$685. 900 against pre- war holdings of more than $780, OOO,O 900.
Most of these banks, however, have been increasing their silver
reserves during the past two years.

THE WEATHER MAN.

This June is similar to the Junes remembered by Old timers
and the stories of which are heard by the tenderfeet with that
bored, tolerant air with which the erstwhHe fisherman is greeted
when he regales his friends with the story OF the FISH that got
away.
Formerly it was wont to rain every day in June and especially
on the days when a baseball game was planned. We reIterate the
truth of this story and possibly some of the baseball fans can see
the similarity of this June with those of 1907 and 1908.
If we remember correctly the latter was the year when Belt
creek went on a rampage and turned a goody portion of the flat
into a lake. incidentally it took IL houses intending to dump them
into the Gulf of Mexico but bridges got in the way and the houses
had to be dynamited to prevent the bridges from joining the pro-
cession. The Finnish Lutheran church's one foundation was re-
moved by the sefsame high water and the church stood on its
head in the place where the foundation had been. But forgetting
the damage and losses of those floods, those were the years when
the crops grew luxuriant on every bench and bottom in the Belt
Valley and the farmers lot was a pleasant one. We hope that this
June is a precursor of a succession of bountiful years and ball
pame O II no ball game, we are thankful when it rains.

FARM TAXES.

Figures made public by the department of agriculture on in
creases in farm land taxation give proof of the trend of bureau
cracy. A canvass shows the average amount of state, county and
local taxes paid by farmers throughout the country in 1922 to have
been TOO cents per acre, compared with 314 cents in 1914. This
is an increase of 126 per cent-some increase. What has the
farmer received for it?
To get down to particulars, Colorado farmers paid in 1914 an
average of 20 cents an acre. In 1922 it had gone UP to GO cents.
Wyoming rose from 19 cents to 80 cents, despite the growing re-
turns from oil from state lands, which under proper economy
ought to make Wyoming a "taxless state" New Mexico rose from
10 cents to 33 cents; Montana from T to Is cents.
The figures do not include federal taxes, which have risen
even higher than the local and state taxes in the period given and
for which there is the war to be blamed.
