Fremont, Neb., April 4. (Special) Three stylishly dressed young couples, giving their addresses as Page, E. H. Monroe, R. L. Thacker, Bess Brown, Lucile Fox and Grace Smith, were arrested here in a local rooming house. After furnishing cash bonds of $15 each, the men were released. The girls were not held. A partv of 'three votine couoles claiming residences in Omalia, gave the Fremont police names which do not check up, according to investi cations made yesterday mornincr. The names given were: H. E. Wge. E. H. Monroe, R. L. TJiacker. Jiess Brown, Lucille l ox and Grace smith. The young people were ar rested in separate rooms in a Fre- )iont rooming house.- 1 he men fur nished bonds of $15each and the women were released. Denies Visit to Fremont. The only "Bess Brown" iiv the city directory Jives at 427 North Thirty-eighth street. She stated Omaha and their names as N. E. that she had not been in Fremont; and is of the opinion that some body used her name for conven ience. She added that she did not know Lucille Fox nor Grace Smith. "E. H. Monroe" is shown in the directory as a resident at 2210 South . Tenth street. Inquiry at that num ber indicated that Mr. Monroe was at home last night. He was em phatic in his denial. It is believed all of the names given by the parties arrested at Fre mont were fictitious. The directory does not show "R L. Thacker." but "Ralph Thacker" declared that he was not one of the party. little Journeys in the Garden The home garden is profitable, for one reason, because it saves the cost of vegetables that otherwise would be bought. It is a healthful enter prise. It furnishes excellent outdoor ' exercise. It provides vegetables that are fresher, more palatable and bet ter than many to be had in the mar ket. The home-garden vegetables are always available, to be had not only without expense, but without incon venience. Therefore, they are likely to be used more freely than if a trip to -market or even a telephone call were necessary. But there is still another particu lar in which the home garden con fers a great benefit. The boy or girl who is given a part in cultivating a home garden, who is charged with some of the responsibilities and put to solve some of the problems of cultivation, acquires in the process a spirit of self-reliance, a knack of making the means at hand serve the end desired, that will be valu able throughout the rest of that boy's or girl's life in any kind of . service that may be required. Tl.us the home garden is a training school in personal efficiency. 9 Edward Craren, former telegraph er of the Western Union, returned to Omaha Thursday from military vscrvice on me racinc coast, nc enlisted in tne coast arnnery iu months ago, and was stationed at Fort Scott, Cal.
