Not alone is this true, but by having the shop located on the main floor, better light is avail able, as well as making the work handier to do and look after the cus tom trade which comes to the place on the main floor.

Authorities in Search for Forger Over the West Man Sought for Having Forged Two Checks on Henry Wegener of Weeping Water. A search by letter, telegram and radio is being made over this part of the west by Sheriff Bert Reed and Deputy Sheriff oung for a man want ed for forgery at Weeping Water. This man is known at D. W. Dzomla. alias W. S. Norman and from the revelations that have been found by the officers the man must have used a large number of alias in this western country. He came to the vicinity of Weep ing Water some time ago and had been working for Mr. Wegener and when his work was completed made a quick getaway and left in hi3 wake two forged checks that bore the name of Mr. Wegener, one for $43. SO and one for $47.50. The traces of the man seem to in dicate that he must have relatives or friends in Oklahoma as he was in correspondence with a lady supposed to be his wife and it is thought that the man has gone to that part of The country to join his family. The much wanted man was driv ing a Dodge touring car when last een and with which he is supposed to be making his way southward. In an effort to have the man trac ed the Cass county sheriff's office has had his description broadcast from radio stations WOW and KFNF. HAD ROADS AND TAXES Better journey down to the county seat, if you happen to live along the northern or central part of the coun ty, and pay your personal taxes be fore the weather gets bad and makes the roads impassable. If it were pos sible, the Courier would recommend that tax payers refuse to pay their taxes until the commissioners made it possible for them to pay a visit to the court house, driving over roads that were passable at all seasons of the year. But no, you must plod through the muck and mire and pay rour taxes lust the same. You must help to keep the wheels of govorn-J mem turning, uui men we nave nne roads bordering both ends and one side of the county and if you are lucky enough and can get to them, you may enjoy a drive over these scenic highways some time.

From Tuesday's Daily Last night the hardware store of White & Bucknell and the general merchandise store of E. L. McDon ald, at Greenwood were visited by burglars and as the result the stores were looted of merchandise, the exact value of which has not been deter mined by the owners of the two places. The robberies were not discovered until this morning when the stores were opened for business and several hours apparently after the robbery had occurred. In securing entrance to the hard ware store the parties broke out a window in the store and thereby gained access to the interior of the store, but just what tfiey secured could not be determined early this morning when the check of the stock was started 'by the owners of the store. At the McDonald merchandise store the parties gained their en trance by forcing a rear door of the store building and thereby were able to get into the main store room where they took a large amount of goods, largely of wearing apparel. There was no one in the town that had heard any noise of the parties breaking in the stores or any indica tion that the business houses were being looted was found until this morning. While there were no clueB found that might definitely fix the crime on anyone. Marshal George Trunk enboltz was of the opinion that the job looked more like that of local talent rather than some experienced burglar or store robber. Sheriff Reed was at Greenwood this morning, leaving here as soon as the report of the robbery was received and looking over the ground in an effort to find some trace of the party or parties that might have commit ted the crime. SCOUTING AND THE SCHOOL Scouting, while no substitute for school work, provides a program for utilizing some of the unappropriated time of the boy. The boy spends about five hours a day, five days a week, 36 weeks a year in actual school work This is about 1-0 of a boys year that is- spent in school. Then he spend: about 1-3 of his life in sleeping, leav ing the remaining 5-9 of his days un directed and unorganized. It is these hours that Scouting fiilla with attractive, useful, morale and character buildinr activities. It has been a bacic criticism of most school methods thn.t they have largely and so long ignored stuuents inter ests. The test of an educational prograir is not how good it looks on paper but what it does to the boys mind what it teaches him. Scouting reaches the bey it actually works. It there fore is a very valuable addition to the hoys life along with his school and helps prepare him so tftat when the time comes to enter his chosen field he can do so well equipped for. any thing that may be there for him.

Both rich and poor suffered. The grasping avaricious landlords used their power to op press confifciating the property of the poor, and even evicting the wid ows from their homes the Pluocrat3 devoured th humbler classes as "sheep crop the grass." L'nder Hezekiah who attempted to reform the state, conditions became even more hopeless. Men ceased to trust one another. Jerusalem became a hot bed of factions and intrigues. The advisers of the king were divid ed in their policies, some urging an alliance with Egypt against Assyria while others advised submission to Assyria. x A Most Grave Condition. The custodians of the law abused their powers; nobles fleecing the poor; Judges accepting bribes; prop hets flattering the rich; and priests teaching for hire. Lust of wealth ruled on all sides. A most grievous condition prevailed, and it was a very serious time for the nation, as within less than a decade and a half, that the nation of Israel was car ried away into captivity never more to return. Of the two nations Israel and Judah. Israel had been the greatest sinner, and as a consequence she met her doom the first and which was the most drastic. Granted a Stay of Life. Hezekiah was sick unto death, and the prophet Isaiah visited him and with a message from Jehovah, which was that he should die of the sick ness and not live. The message was given by Isaiah, and as the great rrophet was leaving. Hezekirh turn ed his face to the wall and prayed to the great Jehovah, saying "I be seech thee( O Lord, remember now how I have walked before three in truth and with a perfert heart and have done that which is good in thy sight.- Hezekiah wept sore. And as Isaiah was leaving, Jehovah spoke to him, saying. "Go, return" and tell Heze kiah his life shall be lengthened 15 years, and that he shall go up to the house of the Lord, and that the Lord will heal his disease," which was a very loathsome boil. The life of the king was advanced 15 years and as a sign the shadow which had ad vanced in the afternoon was caused to retrace ten degrees. Many good acts did Hezekiah do after that. Micah said unto the people, "You covet fields and sieze them, houses and take them away. To those who had devised evil on their beds, for they did lay awake in the night de vising schemes whereby they could skin someone out of what they had, and the judges who took the bribes, as well as the prophets, uttered pleas ing prophecies for the rich for hire or to gain the favor of the rich, and the priests did also as told by Micah. The Lord saith. -Behold, against this house will I devise an evil. Prom which you shall not rraovw your necks, neither shall ymi walk haught ily. For you shall pay for the sins i i which you harfe committed." Micah's voice was directed toward whom the evil should : which was certain to come riif not mend their ways, they failed j - - . ! to profit by tne wise woros ui me , fearless tronhet. and in the after- years the nation was carried away to j , ua nylon, wnere mey rraam j seventy years.
