FLAPPERS FOUND
 IN POOL ROOMS; ACT AS CADDIES
Bobbed Hair Ruining The Girls, Says New York
 POlicewOman

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-The wonlen's bureau of the New York police depart nient has awakened to several surprising facts.
 One of them is that the bobbed-hair fad is in many cases proving a demoral- izing factor in the life of the flapper. The barber shop, which is now every girls, as well as every mans, is proving to be a recruiting station for many flirtations which, women'S bureau at least, come to no good end. 4
 Not only this, according to Mrs. Mary Hamilton, director Of the bureau. but it develops that the emancipation Of womanbood had been accomplished so extensively that little girls from 10 to 13 years of age are caddying on the golf course, racking the balls in pool parlors and setting up the pins in bowling alleys. Advertisements for such girls are even being carried in the news papers, according to Mrs. Hamilton.
 Plan Halt
 So many complaints have been re- ceived from others and others as to tine disastrous effects of the low contacts established by the embryo flappers in these places, that the bureau is de- termined to put stop to the practice of employing girls of tenderl years in tough places. / :,
 Mrs. Hamilton has just announced establishment of an information head quarters in each borough of Greater New York, where women and girls will be advised about almost anything they want to know. These bureaus will an swer such questions as what to do until the doctor comes. what to do with the
 fo Ui ease. what to do when the iceman gets fresh. how to keep ones daughter on the right path, how to get back on the right path after straying off, and who to call up when the lights go out.
 "We are receiving thousands of com plaints from all parts of tNe city" ex- Dlained Mrs. Hamilton. They seem to be almost wholly about moral Ques- tions. The social evil continues ram pant. It may not have increased, but it is present in much more insldious form. The thing is much more subtitle now.
 Silk Stockings Help
 Girls of 12 and 13 are wearing silk stockings to school. All the high school girls have to have them and even, it seems. many girls in the grammar school. Where do they get them!
 New jobs for girls are being opened all the time. We have learned. since the first few cases were brought to our attention that practice of putting little girls to work in bowling alleys. pool rooms and golf courses is actually quite general. Mothers complain that their girls are going to these places. directly from school instead of coming home.
 Protection of women and girls without publicity is the aim of the bu- reau." Mrs. Hamilton said. Tt is not our business to arrest. There are enough policemen for that. We will aid by social education and help others to fight their battles with sympathetic under standing"

 Justice PooIey uphOldihg the con

 under which Bryant is being
 prosecuted.
 BUFFALO. N. Y., Nov. 7.-Supreme Court Justice Pooley in a decision to- iay upheld the constitutionality of the Walker law passed to curb the actl- yities of the Ku Klux klan in this state. The law requires registration with the secretary of state of membership rolls of incorporated secret fraternal organ izations.
 Cites Functions
 Justice Pooley's decision said in part 1: "It is a matter of common knowledge that this organization functions large ly at night, Its members disguised by hoods and gowns and doing things cal culated to strike terror into the minds of the people. It is claimed that they are organized against certain of the cit izens by reason of race or religion. This, of course, cannot be tolerated under our form of government. If what is claimed of it is true, it strikes at fundamental principles of our government, principles that have been recognized as the foun- dation of liberties. If they are true the state has the power to eradicate them and is not required to await ac- tive violations before enactlng legls- lation.
 "The state is bound to maintain or der within its boundaries, promote the general welfare, protect its citizens Tn their personal and property rights In so doing the legislature frequently has been called upon to enact what IS de- nominated class legislation and has been upheld by the courts
 Roster Exhibited
 Justice Pooley reached the decision after hearing evidence in proceedings brought against the Ku Klux klan in bchalf of Charles Desmond, candidate for the assembly, defeated Tuesday by Henry w. Putt.
 An alleged membership roster of the klan in western New York, turned over to the police by Mayor Frank X. Schwab with the announcement that he had received it from persons un- known to him, was admitted in evi- dence

WITTEN 6...WOOD 4

Last Thursday evening the local
high school teams met the Wlttcn
teams on our own floor. Our boys eX-
peeted to win this game and did put
up a good fight considering the cen
dltiQn of most Of the players, for il
was a debated question the afternoon
OF. the game whether We were to play
the game or call it off, as most OF
the boys had either a cold or were
affected by other ailments. 1t was
however decided to play the game and
do the best under the circumstances
The final score stood four to SIX in
favor Of Wittcn. This game was by
far a better game than the one played
at Wittcn, vet there are a great many
points that should be observed BY the
players, principal OF these is per
sonal contact Of PLAYERS. There was
an unreasonable amount Of charging IN
done at the game, ana when players
insist on playing that kind OF baskc,
ball it is hard for officials to rclcre,
a fair game.
Our girls were quite outclasScd 10y
the Witten girls, the final score ben
81 to in favor Of Wittcn. tn,
Wittcn girls have been able to have
far more practice than our girls, a
they have nice warm place in whici
to play.
1t is hoped that our players will
soon all be in better trim. and also that
they will take enough interest in bas
ket bali practice so as to make a good
showing for Wood high school at Mis-,
sion in the tournament next month.

HOG CHOLERA BREAKS OUT AGAIN

Ed Galbraith has been losing some
of his hogs lately, and he is pretty
sure that it is HOG cholera that is
causing his present loss. The great
est mortality seems to be among his
fall pigs, but he has also lost several
Of his brood sows. Mr.. Galbraith
gave his hogs Il single vaccination of
serum last fall, but hc never did give
his herd a full vaccination for cholera
NJ. NJ. Hutchcns, living on White
Thunder creek south west of town, is
also reported losing some hogs, but
We have not heard whether ii is hog
cholera or some other disease that is
working III his herd.
s. Il. Langley. Of Rosebud Valley
was in town Monday, and he report.
having lost nine head of his herd OF
fine registered Chester Whites Satur-
day and Sunday, and several more
were sick and he expected to lose
several more of his herd. While in
town he called the county agent, who
went out to the Langley farm, that
afternoon, and after examining the
hogs diagnosed the disease as flu or
IA sort Of quincy Mr. Langley vac
cinatcd his herd for cholera last fall
1t is hoped that some way may be
found to check this great mortality
among the hog herds of the county.

VOTE ON COUNTY AGENT
APPROPRIATION MAR. rs

AS you will note by the County
Commissioners proceedings published
in another column, the Commissioners
this year will leave the matter of
an appropriation for the support of
the county agent in this county up
to the voters at the primaries to be
held March 25.
Ever since we have had a county
agent in this county there has been
an element that has opposed the ap-
preparation being made, and another
element that has favored It, The
question has never. before been sub
mitted to the people, but we believe
it is matter that should be decided
by the taxpayers Of the county, and
if possible, by the farmers themselves
If the farmers want n county agent
we believe they should have one, and
if they are opposed to making this
100000 appropriation every. year
the county agent should be eliminated
We believe that the County COmmis
sioners have done the right thing by
giving the voters of the county an op
portunity to vote on the proposition
at the March, primaries.
