Nature thought of everything when
the human body was made. When the
body is about to become ill, nature
planned danger signals to warn us.
Thus, if our children grind their teeth
when they sleep, or lack appetite, or
(suffer from abdominal pains, or itch
about the nose and fingers, we should

believed the
jVare case set a precedent that would
have to be followed in the present
contest.
“There is a slight distinction be-
tween the two cases in that in the
Vare incident we were dealing with
the boss of the machine which, backed
Davis,” he said.
The resolution will be presented as
soon as the committee reports on Sen-
ator Davis’ nomination. He said the
report may be made next Wednesday.
Senator Nye estimated the expendi-
tures in behalf of the Davis ticket in
the primary and general election cam-
paigns totaled $1,200,000.
“There is a challenge to the Sen-
ate,” said the North Dakotan. “We
denied Senator-Elect Vare of Penn-
sylvania a seat. His ticket spent $700,-
000. In the interests of consistency I
feel I must act since no one else ap-
parently intends to.”

GIVEN PONY AS HIGHEST
TOKEN OF HONOR
ON RETIREMENT
their best white friend, tears stream-
ed down the cheeks of many.
PAWHUSKA, Okla., Jan. 9.—J.
George Wright, 71 years old, former
superintendent of the Osage Indian
agency, today was the recipient of
the highest honor token of the In-
dians—a pony.
At a pow-pow here yesterday at-
tended by some 600 brightly-regaled
Osages, Mr. Wright, who saw nearly
half a century of Indian service, was
presented with the pony and an ex-
pensive automdbile in recognition of
what he did during the 16 years he
was superintendent.
The festival was given both as a
farewell honor to Wright and as a
celebration of his seventy-first birth-
day. He retired January 1.
“Mr. Wright has been good to us,”
Chief Bacon Rind, former chief, said
in presenting the pony. “He has ser-
ved us faithfully. I will remember
and love Mr. Wright as long as I
live. He has taught us to live among
the white men. We will not fight the
white man. We 'will continue to live
with him in peace. Chief Bacon Rind
has spoken.”
Principal Chief Fred Lookout pre-
sented the automobile on behalf of
the tribe.
“Mr. Wright has been fair and
honest with us,” Lookout said. “He
has taught us to preserve our money
that we shall not want. We do not
know what will become of us when
he goes. We don’t want him to leave.
He is our friend. Chief Lookout has
spoken.”
When Bacon Rind and Lookout had
finished there were tears in the eyes
of the veteran superintendent.
“If you ever need me, if you are
in trouble, call me,” Wright said. “I
will come to you and help you with
the last ounce of my strength and
energy.”

WIFE FRAMED IN VICE CASE
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—A woman
testified at Friday’s inquiry into mag-
istrates’ court that she was arrested
on a vice charge when she waved
“goodby” to her husband. Despite her
protestations of innocence, Mrs. Rosa
Helen Ricchebuono, 35 years old, re-
lated, she was found guilty by Mag-
istrate Jesse Silbermann and sent to
the workhouse for two days.
The woman, who said two of her
brothers were priests, one of her sis-
ters was a nun and an uncle a bishop
in North Dakota, was described by
Isidor J. Kresel, special counsel in the
inquiry, as a woman of unblemished
reputation and a victim of a “frame
up” by vice squad policemen.
After waving to her husband, she
said she suddenly discovered a man
had entered! her apartment. When she
demanded to know what he wanted
he replied she had called him. She
ordered him from the place, she said,
and he then arrested her.
She picked out Patrolman Walter
B. Ambrose as the man.
Magistrate Silbermann, taking the
stand, declared he fofind the woman
guilty on the testimony of the police-
man.
Plans were being discussed Friday
toward freeing from Bedford reforma-
tory 51 girls illegally sentenced with-
out hearings on their pleas of guilty
of being wayward minors. It was un-
derstood their release would be sought
on writs of habeas corpus or by a
blanket pardon from the governor.
The sentences in the various cases
were imposed by six magistrates now
sitting and one former magistrate.
$100,000,000 LABOR
INSURANCE IS ASKED
used in cooperation with the states in
establishment of Unemployment in-
surance was proposed in a bill in-
troduced Friday by Senator Wagner,
Democrat, of New York.
The New Yorker at the same time
introduced a resolution providing for
a congressional study of unemploy-
ment insurance methods.
The $100,000,000 would be appor-
tioned to the states according to the
number of workers in the territory.
For each federal dollar the expendi-
ture of two dollars on unemployment
insurance by the states would be re-
quired.
FLORIDA CANCELS BUS
PERMIT COVERING LINES
PARALLELING RAILROAD
TALLAHASSE, Fla., Jan. 9.—The
Florida supreme court yesterday
quashed a permit to a motor truck
line paralleling the Seaboard Air Line
Railway on the grounds that the rail-
road was adequately serving the ter-
ritory.
The court advanced the prediction
that if the railroad commission does
not look into the question of whether
the railroads are serving adequately
when motor track lines apply for per-
mits, the time will come when all
passenger and freight, except “heavy”
bulky, low grade, basic commodities
will pass from the railroads, which
own property and pay taxes, to motor
lines which operate over highways
built and maintained by the public for
public use.”
REPORTER AT SWEETWATER
BEGINS JAIL SENTENCE
FOR CONTEMPT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Appro-
priation ojf $100,000,000 annually to be
SWEETWATER, Tex., Jan. 12.—
Gteorge (Plarks, newspaper reporter,
jstarted serving a sentence of three
days in jail Monday, imposed by Judge
Fritz R. Smith for contempt of court.
Publication in Sunday’s Sweetwater
Reporter of a story relative to an in-
dictment returned by the grand jur
of Nolan County against a former
county official moved the court to act
against Parks, who had written it.
“This article conveyed to the public
the secrets of the grand jury, which
ought to be kept sacred,” Judge Par-
ker said. “In view of that I am going
to have to hold you in contempt. I
regret to do it, but I will have to re-
mand you to jail for three days, or
until such time as you purge your-
self in writing.”
The court granted Parks’ request
that he be permitted to return to his
office and clean up his notebook—
write his morning’s news.
The indictment referred to was re-
turned last week against W. L. Rotan
of Dora, whose term as County Com-
missioner of Nolan County expired
January 1. Warrants for his arrest
had been issued but he had not been
arrested. He was charged with forgery
in two counts. Rotan was defeated
for re-election last summer.
DRESSED POLAND CHINA
HOG WEIGHS 630 POUNDS
Smithville, Texas.—E. H. Nite,
Smithville farmer, recently slaughter-
ed a big bone Poland-China sow that
dressed 630 pounds. This sow has been
a money maker for Nite for the last
few years. He began to show her
when she was a gilt and during five
years has won a number of prizes
and ribbons with her.
During five years he raised two
litters of pigs from her each year,*
and he raised ten or better from each
litter, or at $10 each the pigs during
the five years would have amounted
to $1,000. ^
When he brought the backbone to
town to sell it weighed more than 25
pounds. Part of the meat was made
up into sausage and the other will be
kept for lard and home cured meat.
Mrs. J. B. Horne of Lometa was
a guest Sunday in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Smith.
