YOUTHFUL HOUSE
BREAKER SENT TO
INDUSTRIAL HOME

Stanley Doran, aged IA, Montfort
youth, was committed to the Milwau-
kee Industrial School for boys after
a hearing before Judge Goodsell We'd
nesday. The youth has record of
petty offenses and his latest escapade
was the entrance of a home during
the owners absence. He took various
small articles including cash and
some food. Other boys in court testi-
fed that they went along at SANKEY'S
behest and that each had cookies
and a rabbit leg" Stanley was taken
to the school by Deputy Bert Morse
Friday morning. He will remain
there until q unless his conduct JUS
titles a parole. A sentence of this
kind is a serious matter and inflicted
with reluctance by the juvenile court.
When boy seems to be a hopeless
incorrigible there is nothing else to
do especially where he has been ex
PEELED from school and is running
wild, leading other boys astray.

THEIR Sill YER FOX
FARM ASSURED OF
GOODLY INCREASE

The silver fox ranch on the John
Thier farm in Ellenboro is coming
ing along fine and the brothers feel
buoyant over the prospects from their
relatively large investment. Last fail
they each bought a pair OF silver foxes
at cost of $1,000 per pair. The next
move was to build a suitable pen and
this was made of inner and outer
fence at a cost of $500 The fox run
way is about 80 feet square. Things
have gone well and prospects are for
a good litter about the middle of
April. The pups run all the way from
one to ten for each mother and the
breeder supplying the valuable ami
mails guarantees reproduction or will
replace barren animals with new ones
at no cost to owner. The fur of a
black silver tip or Alaska fox is
among the most valuable known. 1t
varies from silver tip on each hair
to a shade of brown further down the
strand by another shade of silver
again, making a rich tint not to be
initiated Such furs run in value
from $500 to $500 and the demand is
constant from people able to wear and
afford such costly luxuries. While
visitors are welcome on the farm af-
ter the pups are born the owners now
keep a close watch to protect the
wary and highly organized little ami
mails from excitement of all kinds.
Heavy penalties exist for the punish
ment of people whose greed or wan
ton malice moves them to infringe or
injure the heavy investment of owners
in an enterprise of this kind.
