GIRLS 15 YEARS OLD Extreme Youth of Principals in Case Prevented More Severe Penalty From Being Imposed. John and Carl Foster, aged 21 and '19 years respectively, were ach given sentences of two years' im prisonment in McNeil's island pen itentiary in the federal court at Port land yesterday. Doth men were ar rested In Rosehurg recently charged with violation of the Maun white slave act. They were found in com pany with Ruby I.Iunz and Erma Morrow, each 13 years of age, the two couples having made the trip from Modesto. California, to Rose burg, registering at a number of ho tels along the line as married coup les. They were arrested here upon information telegraphed to the Rose- burg police by the father of one of the girls and were turned over to federal authorities. The girls were only 15 years of age, and neither of the boys were of age at the time .they were arrested, and the case has become known as the "kindergarten white slave case." John Foster has a wife and child in California, although ho is separated from his wife, who Is seeking a di vorce, hut who haa not yet been granted a decree. . The girls, It was stated, became In fatuated with the two brothers and accepted a proposal to come north in the automoile belonging to one of the boys. They stated that they ex pected to be married in Oregon, and this fact was used by them In de fense at the hearing before the l S. commissioner here and in the fed eral court In Portland. The government in bringing charges against the two young men, made no claim of commercial vice, as there was no evidence ft show that such was the Intention of the two young men. The federal authorities who exam- ined Into the case, took occasion to censure me parents or me young- sters very severely. The case was purely one of parental neglect, they stated, and grew out of the fact that the girls were not kept under proper control and care and were permitted to pick uj friends of whom Ue par ents had no knowledge. Tbr. ex treme youth of all of the parties concerned, probably prevented a more serious penalty belns Inflicted by Judge Wolverton, who presided In the case. , From Albany Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Weaver of Al bany are In Roseburg and will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Weaver of the Hotel I'mpqua Tor Thanksgiving. Mr. Weaver is man ager or the Hotel Albany at Albany and is a brother of W. J. Weaver of this city. The Weavers expect to re turn to their homo Friday.

Figures compiled by the. chronic statkiti- cian this year Indicate: That if all the turkeys eaten at Thanksgiving dinners today were transformed into one gigantic composite fowl he would tower 110 feet above the torch of the Sta- tue of Liberty and would be 450 feet long. In fact, he would be so big he probably would scorn the axe aa tne tempest scorus w the chain," and there would be many "turkeylms" Thanksgiving dinners. And that If all the mince pies consumed today were, instead, compounded Into one huge piece of pastry the Equitable Huilding could repose on its massive bosom, and it would be 34 feet high. In' fact, an ocean of es- sence of peppermint would be re- quired to neutralize the gastric disturbance it could generate. (By United Press.) TiERLIN Nov. 23. Adam Steger- wald, unable o form a cabinet, hand ed back his rommlxsion to President Ebert today. The social democrats and other parties blocked Stegerwald's ef forts to form a coalition cabinet. Think This Over! Speaking of trading with your home merchant, it might be stated a this time, that trading with your home producer is just as important as getting the buy-at-hoine bug In your cranium. The producer is the real back bone of any community and If the agricul tural Interests of this county are to prosper as they rightfully should, it Is up to the merchants and every other Individual In Roseburg to see that their interests are protect td. Every possible effort should be put forth to establish local mar kets for the fanner nnd not a sin gle purchase should be made from foreign markets when the local producer can supply a liko product. For instunce. a farmer dropped Into this ofiice yesierday and stated he had been unable to find local buy ers for this year's crop of walnuts, that the grocery, stores were all stocked with the California pro duct. This is entirely wrong. Douglas county produces as fine a quality of walnuts aB one could wish for, and they can certainly be purchased just as reasonable as those coming from California. Re member, co-operation does not mean asking those to buy from you, when you ill return discredit their product by purchasing your silpplies from another state.

E.iiVaE.n I ! j " "" ! t ' Line-Up to Include Last Year s Players and New String of Men Who Are Expected . to Make Progress. Py GLENN RADAP.AUGH When the boys on the high school basketball team of last year laid away their suits, It was predicted by many funs that the last hope for the state conference had faded for several years to come. If present "dope1 means anything at all those predictions will be upset this yenr, and the local high school quintet will niuko rapid strides on the state records. Coach 11. E. Uirson. who handled the team last year, will again be at the helm. Mr. Larson has Just finish ed a coaching season in football, and lias started already to form his bas ketball lineup. The coach has had three years of college experience In basketball and wears three stripes from I.itiri'id, one of the strongest i basketball schools In the northwest. lie gives every encouragement, to me belief that vhere Is Just as much chance for the conrerence this year as ever bt fore and says that with proper co operation trom his men and support from the school and city there can be no such thing ns failure. Hill Burr, popular football and bas ketball slar for the paHt two or three years, captains the team this year. Purrs skill on the floor has won him great group of fans, who believe he will contribute largely to the sue - cess of the team tills year. His rec- ord for last season shows him to be , far in the lead or any player In points, Guy Perrin, the righting guard of served at 10:80, and the pep commlt Itist year's team, who made It almost tee will have stunts of all kinds to impossible for his opponents to slip enliven the evening. A large num- ono by mm, will probably fill the: same position this year. Rusty Irwin, Is alsc turning out and will doubtless go down as a member of th first team. With the develop-i ment of a little more speed Irwin will make a splendid h..., .inter. With only one season's experience he was able to p'ay enough time to receive a let ter. Ph'l Singleton will probably show, up for a position. Singleton's whirl-1 wind pbivlnc for ilie Inst two years is rood Indication that he will fill a first position. j A new player w-j Is showing speed 1 and ability Is I-ouls Miles, a Junior, i Miles has had only inter-class experi ence, but his exceptional speed will make a guard position hard for some' one else to get. l.lston Itowden. Ray Jost, Lynn Pecklev. Harold Hemis. Adzo Davis,! Cvril Nichols are among the other players with more or less experience, . who are showing up well. All In all, I the conch will have as good a group, or hoopsters to pick rrom as he hail lust yenr. and will doubtless succeed In producing n winning team. ! Inter-class games are revealing! rood imitorrlnl in nil the classes.! During the past week both hovs' and j pirls' contests have been played, with the series only started. These games; between the classes are serving as a. sobndid method of picking out the' very best talent In the school. Giris' basketball will receive morei , nii.-iiiioii mm Bii,yui i iiim eur man i it has for a number of seasons. Miss Ring, instructor in the domestic arts I departments, is to coach the girls. ! She him h.,,1 .,.nul,l.,r l.lu v .-,.,.... in this work in her xchool work in j the east, and Is already lining up berj team for the season. Changes lu the rule from previous seasons are to be given careful con siderrtion in the Inter class games in order to prevent any bad consequence ill the Inter-scholastic contests. No schedule has yet been made for the year's guinea,-but it Is planned that the local school meet the larger and more representative schools of the state, and with a reasonable amount of good luck, to realize the highest position in the statu basket bull field that of championship. The Coos County All-Stars football team arrived last night from Coos Itay prepared for the big game this afternoon with the Roseburg Elks. The visitors feel very confident of victory, believing that they can re peal the achievement of defeating the locals, as was done recently at North Rend. Because of the rain and wet weather, the delegation ac companying the team from the roast was smaller than had been expected. With a wet field the game to be pluyed this afternoon will probably resolve Itself into a straight, old style, bone-crushing game, with llt- tle resort to aerial tactics or open playing. The Roseburg learn has been materially strengthened and considerable weight has been added, which will doubtless be greatly ill lavur of the local team. ELKS GATHER FOR MIL Elks from all over the county will ! gather tonight for the annual turkey banquet of the order.
