South Side 1
SOUTH SIDE Will
PREDICT RAISE
IN I10GJRICES
Believe That Removal of Em
bargo Will Cause Upward
Trend of Market; Demand
Will Outstrip Supply.
That the removal of the embargo
will mean a gradual and steady in
crease in the price of hogs is the
unanimous opinion among the South
Side commission men.
The unsettled condition incident
to the sudden removal of all re
striction on the buying and selling
of hogs may cause a temporary
slump on the hog market, accord
ing to Gene Melady. This will not
last for more than two weeks at he
utmont. At the end of that time the
demand will far outstrip the sup
ply and the price of all pork prod
ducts will be forced up.
Commission men pointed to the
fact, that from 85 to 90 per cent
of the hog supply in the country has
been exhausted. The section from
which the South Side market ob
tains its hogs is also nearly drained.
The scarcity of hogs in the east is
evidenced by the prices on the east
ern hog markets. Hogs on the east
ern markets sell at from 70 cents
to $1.15 higher per hundred pounds
than they do in Omaha. The Chi
cago price is $18.50 while in In
dianapolis, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and
the surrounding territory hogs are
sold for $19.00 per hundred pounds.
The Omaha market is quoted at
about $17.85.
HomeMade Beer Gets Owner
Fine and Jail Sentence
John Pearson, 51.15 South Twenty
fourth street, in whose cellar was
found 30 quarts and 35 pints of
home-made beer, was fined $100 on
a charge of illegal possession and
sentence to 30 days in jail for il
legal sale of intoxicating liquor.
Pearson's case was continued from
Thursday to Friday morning, when
Police Judge Foster, sitting in the
South Side court, was unable to de
termine whether the brew was in
toxicating. The stuff was analyzed
by chemists and pronounced in
toxicating. South Side Man Fined on
Liquor Charges; to Appeal
C. Lafate, 119 South Sixth street,
was arrested and pleaded not guilty
to the charge of illegal possession
and sale of intoxicating liquor.
State agents who made the arrest
introduced as evidence a quart bot
tle of whisky and a small glass
which he is said to have used in
measuring out drinks to his cus
tomers. The officers stated they had
purchased whisky from Lafate. at
25 cents per glass.
He was fined S100 on each charge.
The cases will be appealed.

"I had to cook for the whole
family," declared Charles Ewers,
14-year-old Muskegon, Mich., boy.
"so I thought I'd come out west and
get a job on a ranch."
Charles, small for his age, and
very forlorn, was brought into the
police station last night. His dark
eyes and ready smile quickly won
the hearts of policemen and Matron
Drummy. .
"My mamma went away from
home when I was only 2 years
old, and I haven't seen her since,"
he continued, a suspicious moisture
gathering in his eyes. "My sisters
had to work so I had to cook. I
though maybe I could get a ;ob
cooking on a ranch some place. I
can even cook pies," he added
proudly.
Charles declared he had saved
money and had ridden all the way
on trains.
Dad didn't seemto care whether
I went or not, so I just left. Dad's
a kind 'a reckless man he's all right
sometimes, though," he adiicd
hastily.
"Every place I went they said I
was too small to get a job, so I
thought I'd try Council Bluffs. A
big copper got me, though, hen I
tried to get across the bridge."
"I used to read Indian stories
and see wild west movie shows," he
went on, his eyes brightening, "and
this country sure looked good to
me. Guess I'd go back home
though if I had a chance. Gee. I
wish mamma was there, though."

hardest encountered by the 89th,

legislature voted any bonus to her
sons overseas?" he asks.
"I don't know what rate of speed
Mrs. Hoagland was going, because
I didn't see her. I was ahead. The
first I knew of her approach was
when her car scraped the back of
my car. I stopped and turned in
my seat to look back, just in time
to see Mrs. Hoagland's car pass
over Mrs. Deeter. I did not see the
Hoagland car strike Mrs. Deeter."

BOY SCOUTS ARE
CRITICISED BY
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Say That Movement Tends to
Keep Youngsters Away
From Church; Proper
Leaders Hard to Get.
The Boy Scout movement came
in for severe criticism at the after
noon session of the County Sunday
school session at the Westminster
Presbyterian church, in connection
with a general discussion of Sunday
school work with boys. Several
speakers attacked the organization
on the ground that scoutmasters
frequently arrange "hikes" and
camping trips that take the boys
away from home over Sunday and
thus keep them out of Sunday
school and church.
Among those who offered this ob
jection were D. V. Sholes, Rev. Mr.
Jensen, and W. H. Kimberly, busi
ness manager of the State Sunday
School association. Mr. Kimberly
declared that the scout organization
has no place in a Sunday school, and
that it should be considered and
maintained purely as a civic institu
tiqn. He believed that the boys
should be organized in classes in
the Sunday schools, that they
should develop through the school
their outside activities, and that
they should be held to strict atten
dance upon the church and Sunday
school sessions.
Proper Leaders Scarce.
Dr. A. A. DeLarme offered the
criticism that very often the proper
leadership and the proper place for
meeting could not be provided. He
stated that without strict discipline
Boy Scouts frequently become
destructive of church property and
create a good deal of expense
through breakage of furniture and
windows. Proper leaders, he said,
are as "scarce as hen's teeth."
The same general criticisms were
offered of the Camp Fire Girls. Rev.
Mr. Liningcr warmly defended the
Scouts, and expressed the belief that
the Scout organization properly be
longs in the Sunday school and
church and that when rightly con
ducted becomes a most helpful in
stitution. The general principles of
the Scout movement were approved
by most of the speakers.
Discuss Work.
The convention session on Friday
included discussions of many phases
of Sunday school work. The morn
ing was given over to the elemen
tary division. In the afternoon the
home department, the secondary di
vision and the adult department
were made the subject of discus
sion. An interesting feature of the after
noon was the children's hour. Hugh
Wallace led about 100 children from
various Sunday schools in the sing
ing of a number of hymns. Fol
lowing this Miss Margaret E.
Brown, state Sunday school secre
tary, told several interesting stories
to the little folks.
