GET TWO YEARS
Boys Picked Up By Officers
Here Sentenced in Federal
Court at Portland.
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. ,

NEW YOKK. Nov. ;9. 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.

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. HKLP

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.

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,

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

During the past week both hovs' and j

Changes lu the rule from previous
seasons are to be given careful con

order to prevent any bad consequence

No schedule has yet been made for

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

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.
