The state bureau of child welfare
has aranged to place Forest Fi:hcr,
eleven-year-old boy, under the care
of a physician for observation and
!.-.:er a surgical operation will be
performed if deemed advisable. The
boy was injured one year ago in an
automobile accident. Since then he
has developed homicidal tendencies.
He lives with, his parents at 903
North Fifteenth. His father is a
truck driver and not able to give the
youth the extra medical or surgical
care which may be necessary. A phy
sician who was consulted said the
tendencies of the I.oy might be due
to masked epilepsy and not to an In
jury inflicted in an automobile acci
dent. The boy has attacked playmates
and nearly choked a younger brother
to death, and at another time tried
to use a butcher knife on members of
the family. He will be carefully
watched and after X-ray photographs
will be taken to determine whether
theer is pressure on the brain or
other trouble that can be relieved by
a surgical operation.

Fiom many places over the country
conies the reports of chickens being
stolen. In fact some of our owu peo
ple have had chickens stolen. On
Fridav night seven ot eight large
thicken coops were stolen from the j
Elm wood Produce company's poultry
house. It is thought that a large
truck drove up to this place and then
made a quick getawy with the coops.
What the parties wanted with the
coops is not known but it is supposed
that they took them in order to help
them get away with stolen chickens.
It is a good idea to keep the poiritry
under lock and key these days or at
least have a watchful eye on them.
On the same evening a large truck
drove into the Watson Jones farm
southeast of town. The "dogv made
quite a fuss and" wakened Mr. and
Mrs. Jones, who made an investiga

On the same night a truck -started
to go into the John Gonzales farm
southwest of town, but John heard
them and whatever plan those in the
truck had in mind was foiled.
On, Monday night aparently an at
tempt was made to steal chickens at
vthe Ilrochman farm just south of
town. A truck is said to have stop
ped at the bridge north of the place
and two men got out and tried to get
to' the lirockman "ouildings but were
discovered and one of the boys took a
shot at them. According as he re
lates it they were not slow in getting
out and proved themselves to be good
runners. After getting into the
truck they made a hasty retreat.

It seems to us that there never lias
been so many and such extensive dis
plays of Christmas and holiday reet
ing cards as we see this season in
almost every store window. The
Christmas can! idea has grown to gi
gantic proportions within the past
few years, has grown until the pur
chase and mailing of the cards and
delivery of tlum accounts for a con
siderable proportion of the expense,
work and posui problems involved in
Christmas obs-rvance.
The exchange of greetings is one
of the most j. easant and laudable
customs of ur modern Christmas.
The interchange ef rood wishes and
the yearly remembrance of almost
forgotten frit ads of other years is
certainly in f;ill accordance with the
Epirit and ide-i of Christmas. More
than expensive presents to a few,
these slight remembrances to the
many whose friendships were, are or
would be valued, make Christmas the
enjoyable season that it is.
