lence.
The jury also attacked destruction OF
property and unlawful entry of dry

Only lack of evidence against agents
has prevented indictments, the jurors
asserted
The jury also intimated that the big
bootleggers are being missed In the
campaign against minor offenders.
Prohibition administrators also were
advised to devote more OF their atten-
ton to the detection of the more i'm
portant violations instead OF "frittering
away their energy in the uncovering OF
trivial violations"
Judge William c. Coleman received
the report and said he believed the
views well taken"
Copies of the report were ordered
sent to John F. j. Herbert, prohibition
administrator for the Observation-Disclosures

PLANNING YOUR LEE

How do we plan our lives? Usual
ly we don't. Living a wisely planned
life is our main job, and yet most
people leave life to luck. This is q
sorry mistake and it is also com
mon one. Now is the time to prepare
and make plans for our future. In a
few months We will graduate and be
on the threshold of life. This will be
the commencement of a new life and
work for us. Some of us will con-
tihue with our Quotations; others
will seek work.
In order to make the most of ones
life he should canvass the possibili-
ties of his life; then he can easily
select plan and work accordingly
Il One decides Ito enter college, it is
wise to make schedule of the SUBJ
iects which he intends to study and
see how they will help him to earn
livelihood
However, earning livelihood is
not all that matters. One must also
take into consideration social, relig-
iouls, economic and esthetic values
il one desires ito have a well-rounded
life. If one is truly social he will
wish to play too and thus find that
relaxation without which ife be-
comes so boresome. A life which
does not include some form of re-
ligaon or aspiration is apt to fail
in some respects. The Importance of
the economic is so obvious as to need
little emphasis here. A properly
trained financial sense insures hap
piness later in life. The esthetic value
of our lives is very often neglected.
Appreciation of beauty and desire
to have it in our homes and work
ing places will be chief source of
pleasure.
Why not make budget of our
lives, taking all these things into
consideration.

trial Montana and the man for whom
the town of Winnett in Petroleum
county was named, has forsaken his
dream of wealth to be gained by
founding a beaver farm. Last year
Mr.. Winnett was given license to
trap beaver to start fur farm by
the state fish and game department.
Now he has abandoned the project
because beaver in captivity fight
each other savagely and it is impos-
sible to keep them from exterminat-
ing each other. James Blair, who
has a beaver farm in Beaverhead
county, had an experiment similar to
that Of Mr.. Winnett when he started
his project, according to Robert Hill,
state game warden. His farm has
been in successful operation for three
years in spite Of the fact that the
beavers fought each other when first
taken into captivity.
