Commander Eva Booth, OF the Saliva
ton Army, concerning the effect OF pro-
hioltion says: Why try to tell the Sal
Walton Army that the park benches are
crowded with drunken men as they were
before prohibition, when we used to
gather them in OH Thanksgiving Day for
example, and fight to salvage them?
They are gone. The benches still remain.
but the occupants are not drunk any
more, but are climbing upward to better
things, while the public rushes by all un-
needing. Why try to tell us that work
lngmen spend their wages before their
families can get the money for food and
that men beat their wives and children
as in the old days? 1t simply is not the
case"

Employment on the city streets for
DRINKS unable to pay their fines was adj
vocated at meeting of the city council
OF Morris recently. We hope such
measure will pass the council, but with
the provision that all DRINKS, whether
able to pay or not shall work out their
fine. Then we hope the city council will

drunkard to work out by his side upon
the streets twice as large a fine as that
assessed against the DRINKS.

Monster Sturgeon Caught
In White Earth Lake,

!, Last Thursday May IL, 1926,
q sturgeon weighing 175 pounds
and measuring seven feet and one
inch in length, and thirty.eight
inches around the body was cap
tured and taken from White
Earth Lake by Frank LeQuier
and Stephen Caswell. The big fish
was evidently spawning as it was
hear the shore and was sighted by
the parties who captured it. 1t
was seen to be moving slowly
about in the water its tail and fms
appearing at intervals out of the
water. Many of the older people
of this village have often stated
that Sturgeon inhabited this lake,
And a number have always claimed
10 have seen Sturgeon at times.
i However most of these stories
we're regarded as Fish Tales
but now that real fish has been
captured and seen by most every
one in the village, it will no longe r
be doubted that White Earth Lake
contains Sturgeon.
! The big fish was taken to De.

STRIKE CRACKING.

Britain's million miner coal strike
seemed on the verge of collapse last
week as the number Of miners who
have repudiated their leaders and re
turned to work sWeIled to 200, 600.
Significant developments:
Parliament convened for a short special
session to extend the Emergency Power
Act which has heen kept in force during
the entire % weeks Of the strike.
Premier Baldwin declared before the
Commons that his Government had come
virtually to the end of its powers Of med
iation in the strike. He Indicted that if
the miners would return to work on a
regional agreement basis the Govern
ment would untertake to set up a nation
al wage arbitration board.
Chancellor of the E%xchequer Winston
Churchill appeared still piQued at the
mine owners refusal to accept the plan
for settling the coal strike "on principles
nationally laid down." which be evolved

ton. Said the Chancellor testify, almost

The creatures were captured on the is

Ego by William Douglas Burden, a trustee
Rof the American Museum of Natural
History. who fitted out an expedition
consisting of himself, his wife and Prof.
Il. r, Dunn, of Smith College.
Burden first learned of the existence of
the animals by reading a brochure in

Zoo pounds, have been placed on exhibit

, two specimens captured by Burdens
party are the first to be exhibited any
where alive. 1t is said that the lizards
were first seen on KomOdo by Alan Cob

from his plane as he flew over the island.

were astonished to find the heads Of
pigs and small deer in the stomach Of the
first specimens they killed,

who regard the lizards as the most i'm

that they are the direct descendants Of a
species of "dragon'' which once inhabit-
