When Alfalfa Bill Murray
speaks at Cadle tabernacle Thurs
day night, turn out to see and hear
him.
No matter what you think of his
presidential pretensions- you
shouldn't pass the opportunity to
see the gaunt, shaggy-haired ex-
ponent of government for the peo-
pie" whose appearance and deliv-
cry bark back to the day of the
pioneer.
Ard above all you must see that
Niagara of mustache cascading
down over a nickel cigar, his most
characteristic mark of identity.
The manner in which he expertlv
brushes back this adornment in his
moments of high flowry oratorv
alone is the trip to Cadle tabernacle
He brings back the days of per-
sonal politics when a candidate ran
for office unencumbered or hamp-
cred by written platforms, but en-
unciated its planks in his speeches.

CRIME INCREASE
AMONG YOUTH
PUZZLES JUDGE
Eight Boys, One Girl in City
Court in One Week,
Sheaffer Declares.

What is happening to the boys
and girls of American"
This question was asked today by
Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer
at a hearing on the case of Fred
Berting, II. Of 720 Grove street,
Technical high school pupil, held
as a bandit suspect in the Apollo
theater robbery attempt early Tues
day.
I can't understand what is hap
pening to the youth of the nation, -
Sheaffer said. Serious charges arc
being placed against boys and girls
IN increasing numbers.
I'm the last week I have had
eight boys and a girl before me OH
serious charges" Sheaffer stated.
one Of the cases, he pointed out,
is that Of Miss Vera Wood, II,
Shortridge high school pupil,
charged with automobile banditry
and robbery after she is alleged to
have held up eleven persons with
a toy pistol Tuesday. She claimed
she was drunk while perpetrating
the alleged robberies.
Several other cases in Sheaffer's
court, involving vehicle thefts and
larency charges against boys, we're
referred to the county grand jury.
Berting, who played hooked from
school the day of the Apollo rob-
berry attempt, was bound over to
the grand jury under $1,000 bond
on a banditry charge.
He and a companion, believed to
have fed from the city, are suspect
ed Of being the bandits who bound
two employees in seats in the movie
house, but who fled when they lost
their nerve.
Berting confessed the robbery at
tempt, police said, but denied he es-
capped from the scene in a stolen
automobile.

lied the inner man, which he re-
vealed to be one Of rare scholarship
charm, and courtesy.
AS a raeonteur of homely tales,
Murray rates with the old masters
and from lapSes into the idiom to
emphasize some point, the Okla
homa Governor climbs the heights
Of philosophy and the history Of
forgotten empires and republics to
bring home the lesson of decaderlce
through lack of leadership, which
was his topic.
His knowledge Of constitutional
law surprised the members of the
bar in the audience and he quoted
the Classics in much the manner Of
the avid student.
Murray is a Snowman, but his
thinking is honest.
He impressed all with his man
ifest sincerity and honest thinking.
He is no shrinking violet, how
ever, when it comes to admitting
that he is good, as he amply DEM
onstrates.
Yet the self-praise is forgotten in
his force of utterance. The type of
political philosophy which he rep
resents is illustrated best by the
following quotation from his Ro-
tary address:
"This nation car not survive half
fed and half-starvedl I can not
endure with magnificent banquets
for one class and soup houses for
the other!"
You should hear Murray.

SNOW-TRAPPED
TOWN is FACING
HUNGER DANGER
SiIverton, CoIo., Marooned
Has Food for Only
Two Weeks Left.
By United Press

By United Press
SILVERTON, Colo, Feb. "a
Desperate efforts will be required
to save this Snow-bound gold min
ing center from hunger and suffer-
ing, E. B. Allen, Silverton bank
cashier, told the United Press to-
day.
The 1,75O residents checked up
their supply of canned foods and
found it would last just two weeks.
But railroad officials estimated it
would take forty-five days to clear
the seventeen miles of track lead
ing in here, and now buried under
a frozen mass of snow, ice, rocks
and trees.
Two weeks ago Snowslides started
roaring down the mountain sides,
crushing everything in their path
and choking the narrow gorges that
form the only access to Silverton.
A great inland iceberg was
formed, more than forty feet deep
in places.
Rotary snowplows have been cut
ting at the mass with giant steel
blades for days, but have made lit
tie progress. No a%ppreciable
amount of food and fuel can be
brought here until the railroad is
cleared.
Men on snowshoes could pack
food in over the snow-hlled, dan
gerous trails, but the fifty-mile
journey from Durango, the nearest
town, is difficult and slow.
1.-THE food situation is becoming
serious" Allen said. ct is doubt
full that the canned foods left here
will last two weeks. We still have
fuel but the supply is dangerously
low"
Rail workers bundled up like
Arctic explorers to withstand the
biting winds of the pass, 10000 feet
above sea level, continued today to
push slowly. through the huge ice
barricade.

PLEAD FOR MOONEY
Mass Meetings Will Appeal
for Pardon.

By Scrtpps-HoDdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Mark-
ing the fifteenth anniversary of the
sentence to death of Tom Mooney,
a series of mass meetings will be
held all over the east today, to urge
MONEYS pardon.
The largest of these meetings will
be in New York'S Bronx coliseum,
which holds 2 5000 persons. Stimuli
taneously, in sixteen other Ameri-
can cities, free Mooney" meetings
will be held. Among the larger of
these will be in Chicago, Detroit
and San Francisco.
At the New York meeting will be
Tom MONEYS mother. Disregard
ing her doctors orders, mother
Mooney set out from San Francisco
at the last minute. Her doctor
warned her that to travel across the
continent and speak at a big pro-
test meeting might cause her death
from heart disease.
She determined, however, on the
eve of Governor Rolph'S anticipated
decision on the worldwide pardon
plea, to risk her own life in the
attempt to free her son.

Spring Is Here

XXTHERE the SHOWS have melted
VVaway from the pastures and
fallow lands, there the hardy early
wayfarer may find the horned larks
If he walks quietly, he will hear
their songs-thin, reedy, sweet little
pipings; not the full-throated war
blings of their later coming and
larger brethren. but all the pleas
anter now for being heard in a
desert season.
The horns that give the little
lark its name really are tufts OF
feathers, one above each ear. They
are S small that normally one can
not see them with the naked eye al
ranges which the bird will permit
one to approach.
But a pair of opera glasses or a
low-power field glass will make
them easily visible. Such optical
aid also will make it possible tc
study the interesting black mark
ings on brow, cheek and throat.
The ground hue of the head, aside
from these black markings, is either
white or yellow; the rest of the
birds body is "sparroW-colored. >
Both male and female have the
horns" and the head markings
immature young lack them and look
a good deal like sparrows.
In some regions the horned larks
hardly stay the winter through.
Where the severity of the storms
does drive them out, they do not 90
far. They are not afraid of snow
and cold, and can pick up a thrifty
living on weed seeds and wild
fruits.
They are strictly ground dwell
ers, ever perching on the bare earth
at night when they sleep. This
keeps them down where they car
do. the most good as destroyers Of

OGDEN HOLDS STOCK
SALT SALES ILLEGAL
Bans Offers of Free Veterinary
Service Made to Farmers.

Bans Offers of Free Veterinary
Service Made to Farmers.
Salt statesmen, who peddle their
product to farmers for livestock
feeding, must cease offering free
veterinary service, Attorney-G General
James M. Ogden ruled today.
The opinion of the attorney-gen-
eral was sought by H. r. Kraybill,
state chemist at Purdue university.
His request set out that a certain
concern selling salt for COWS and
horses is guaranteeing the farmer
free veterinary service and market
price awards if a COW or horse died
during the period the salt is fed
them properly.
Although labeled "This is no live
stock insurance" the so-called
guarantee is just that, the attorney
general held, and this selling prac-
tice must cease, since insurance
must conn under the state insur-
ance regulatory laws"
