Yeggmen Terror of Small Town Banks
$p hoi p
LINCOLN. NKII. Since last fall no
less than a hundred country banks
In Nebraska, Oklahunm and Nebraska
have been robbed. In each Instance
from $1,000 to J7.000 was takeu, and
practically the same procedure was fol
lowed In each case.
In thu three states nntncil are np
projltnntely L'.HCO banks, 2,000 of them
In Ilttlo towns and villages with prac
tically no police protection. This Is
the usual piogratn In the eases re
ported: Soon after midnight the i cedents
are aroused by two or three explo
sions. Those dating enough to ven
ture on the streets secan, automobile,
standing In front of the bank and two"
men with guns giving orders to stand
back. Inside are their companions,
filling sacks with money from the safo.
.Having gathered all the cash possible
the burglars enter the machine, fire
a few Intimidating shots and go rac
ing out of town.
Then come the gathering of a posse,
the cranking up of cars and n desper
bto attempt to follow and capture the
robbers. In no instance has there
been a capture, and despite offers of
WORLD'S GREATEST
AVIATORS COMING
Hastlngsi, Neb.- When Glenn H.
Curtlss brings his world famed Ab
ators to this city on July IS and lit,
the whole of Central Nebraska's pop"1
latlon will be iuteiestcd In giving
theiji a rousing welcome, for this will
be the Ilrst big aviation meet evel
rich icwatds for thu robbers, dead or
alive, the tolilioiles continue.
The autonitibllo Is blamed for much
of the crime.
"llcfore the coming of the motor
car we could overhaul this class of
criminals," said a police officer who
was discussing tho ctime. "They
went on hoiseback and there was Ilttlo
difficulty in covering the country by
telephone and heading them off.
"Now the country Is alive, with par
tics making cross-state runs and no
moie attention lu paid to a strange car
than to a freight train. With a high
powered car it is easy on the pralrlo
roads to cover 100 miles in throe
hours. Then with a change of outer
clothing to give the appeal anco of
tourists the robbers can motor lols-
uicly through the most populous ciilcs I
and put up at the Hrst i sj I 'tu!s i
without arousing susplclc it.
"It Is practically linpcu'h'e f r the
pursuers to follow them hcniwo th'
loute taken is unknown and tho rapid
progress of the robbers puu them out
of reach."
'While the country bank does not
keep large sums on hand in currency it
always has a few thousand dollars,
and the lobbcrs aro evidently not
looking so much for a large haul as
they are for a safe getaway. In this
they have been so successful for the
last two years that they hnc grown
bold and seem to think they have a
system for making money easily that
cannot bo defeated.

AERIAL EXHIBIT
HERE CERTAIN
INDIANAPOLIS, 1ND. The largo egg
dealers and bhlppjjrs of tho state
now buy eggs "los3 off," and will com
pel tho farmer to soil good eggs or
none at all. This decision wbb reach
ed at a meeting here some time ngo
of tho Indiana Association of Car It
Shippers, which meeting was attended
by nearly 40 of the 100 or moro mem
bers. Resolutions wero adopted as
serting that the dunlerB would buy eggs
only on tho plan of "loss off."
This decision was in line with the
amendment which the last legislature
added to tho puro food law, making it
a violation of tho law to offer a bad
egg for sale. This law applies to the
farmer, the grocer, the huckster, tho
dealer, tho shipper, or to anybody else
who sells eggs. H. E. Tlarnnrd, stato
food and drug commissioner, attended
the meeting and made an address, in
which he told the members his depart
ment would do everything In its pow
er to enforce the now law. Up'to this
time it has been the common prac
tice for the farmer to sell all his eggs
in a lot, regardless of whether tho eggs
were good, bad or otherwise, and ho
received a flat price for them. Tho
result was that tho consumer had to
tnko his chances on getting good eggs
when ho bought eggs nt a grocery.
"It is a crime for any person to of
fer a bad egg for sale," said Mr.
ICUESS THERE NO

Darnard, "and the fact that a person
had a bad egg In Ills possession is
proof he intends to sell It. What we
proposo to do under tho new law is
to prevent tho salo of bad eggs. Wo
propose to piotect the consumer.
"When a consumer goes to a grocery
and buys a dozen cgsrn ho must get
good eggs. Frequently, heretofore,
when a man bought a dozen eggs he
got two or three bad ones. This prac
tice must be stopped. The consumer
must get what ho pays for. Not only
will we insist on the shipper living up
to the law, but we propose also that
every grocery shall guarantee the eggs
It tells. Then the consumer will be
protected."
Some of the members said they had
seen in grocery stores signs that
read: "Wo do not guarantee the egg9
we sell."
"This will not help tho grocers,"
said Mr. namard. "They have got
to guarantee the eggs they sell. They
must deal fairly with their cus
tomers."

TOPKKA, KAN. Hereafter when a
Kansau wants to buy a bottle of
nrellno or a cake of medicated soap
ho will havo to go to a drug store. If
ono wants two sheets of fly paper or
n package of fly poison, he cannot run
around to tho corner grocery and
get It charged on the grocery bill. He
must hiko to tho drug store. The
btate board of pharmacy has ruled
against tho department stores and gro
ceries selling drugs.
No ono has been poisoned or hurt
In buying department or grocery store
drugs, but the business was getting to
bo so big that tho board decldc'd to
stop it beforo tho business ran nway.
The department stores usually shavo
the prico a little, and maybo this en
couruged tho ruling. The pharmacy
law prohibits anyone but a registered
pharmacist selling drugs except In ru
ral districts, where any morchant mny
sell patent medicine It he is Ave miles
from a drug storo and obtains a prop
er license.
Rut department and dry goods stores
liae been building up u big business
selling hydrogen peroxide," asellne,
carbolic acid preparations, fly paper,
iaco powders, tooth paste, witch hazel
and dozcnB of other household articles.
Rut these are drugs. They are sold
as drugs and to bo used as medicines,
Denco they como under tho prohibi
tion of the law and the etato board,
which has charge of enforcing the law,
says that the salo of these things,
and the patent medicines by others
than druggists, must cease.
The stale board Is serving notices
on all department,, dry goods and gro
cery stores that sell fly paper and face
powder that they must cease this
profitable business. Some of the de
partment stores are preparing to fight
the order on tho ground that the stat
has no right to prohibit selling use
ful but harmless preparations.

LONDON. Queen Mary has Issued

she intimated that ladles wearing tho
tightly fitting modern skirt would not

is evident that If tho queen Is unable
to lead the fashion, she Intends to

These orders of tho queen are all

was said of them by a fashionable cyn

fact, apart from their pressing pub

royal couple would bo described by
any member of tbe smart set of tho
Edwardian era as positively humdrum,
Thoy realize this.
"I know people think that we aia
a stuffy couple, but we do not mind
that," the queen Is said to have re
marked a few days ago.
If Queen Mary'a expressed vlewa

ly thero will be a fashion for some
thing much more decorative In the
way of gloves than Is furnished by the
customary range ot fawn and black

Several of the peeresses havo follow

heavier embroidered or delicately
painted gloves, finished with gold or
