The Juvenile courts, not alone of this district, but In many parts of the country, are being worked overtime. The reformatories of the state that are meant lor the correction of the delinquent youth are filled to capa city, yet the judges who preside over cases of delinquency' are met with the problem of meting out adequate Justice.. Many of the boys who are brought before the. Juvenile courts are not wilfully wicked. They have often been led astray by evil associa tions or by a mistaken idea of where fun ends and where mischief begins. It can not be disputed, however, that there is locally a rather large con tingent of boys who have become perverted, and with whom pretty drastic action must be taken if they are to be rescued from their own evil tendencies. With them the rights of others have ceased to be a considera tion. They sear their consciences with petty pilfering till they gradu ate naturally into the class of major offenders. Action by the courts will, j therefore, be less in the light of pun ishment than of correction, but cor rection there must be. Violations of the rights of others are often winked at by layman and official till lads believe they are privileged, and the present large number of cases being brought to the attention of the court have resutied from the Indignation of a long-suffering public. The soon er these youthful transgressors are made to realize that their offenses are not to be condoned, the better it will be for their future welfare and for the public peace of mind. SUGAR BEETS DO THEY PAY? "That the sugar beet la a profitable crop for the farmer to grow Is proved by the rapid Increase in sugar. beet production. ' "In 1890 there were less than 6,000 acres of sugar beets grown In the United States, while in, 1915 there were over 600,000 acres of sugar beets harvested. "To bring this nearer home. Six years ago our neighboring town of Scottsbluff was promised a sugar fac tory if contracts could be secured for 6.000 acres of beets. The boosters canvassed the Platte valley from Fort Laramie to Bridgeport, and to make up the 6,000 acres they had to stuff the ballot box, pad the returns, and then draw on their Imaginations. "A few weeks ago, In this same community, a day was set for signing beet contracts for 1916. The farm- ers rushed in, signed 31,000 acres, and almost mobbed the entire office force because they would not let them sign as much more. , "Ask the farmers of the Platte val ley if sugar beets Is a paying, crop."

ASTORIA IN BATTLE WITH RAILROADS Astoria, Mar. 22 The city of Astoria today rolled up her sleeves and prepared to do mortal battle with ' railroad companies which have de manded a rehearing of the Interstate commerce commission's order placing Inland frieght rates to Astoria, and Puget Sound on a par. The first thing the city did was The Original HsWsismBjpjssx . oi mmmm ' Williams Saratoga Chips Fresh KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY ' Quality First to order the construction of two river steamers at a cost of $70,000 each. These boats will ply between Astoria and inland empire points on the Col umbia and Snake rivers. They will carry wheat and other products to the export wharves at Astoria. Special attorneys have been em ployed to fight the rehearing of the rate case. LIQUID FiRE WINS FOR THE RAISER London, Mar. 22. Liquid fire played its most successful role since the war began when it enabled Ger man troops to, make an advance at a point 10 miles northeast of Verdun. Reports received in London say that German artillery showered shrapnel and high explosives on French positions in the Avocourt woods without success.' But Jets of liquid flame and billows of smoke drove the French from several hun dred yards of trenches southeast of Malancourt. This new success menaced several square miles of French positions northwest of Verdun. Latest Paris dispatches, however, insist that the shifting German attack is a confes sion of failure. Russian victories have convinced Paris critics that the Verdun offen sive soon will be abandoned. By their gain at Avocourt the Ger mans arrived within seven miles of the St. Menehould railroad, over which supplies are carried for most of the French positions around Ver dun. If the Germans fail to squeeze the French out from their north western positions, they may suddenly change front and smash southward In an attempt to seize this railroad. CONTINUE TO ROAR Paris, Mar. 22. Although German cannons kept up a constant uproar during the night northwest of Ver dun, there was no attempt at infan try operations, the war office com munique said today. The bombardment was especially heavy around Malancourt and Hau court hill. Shells poured into the village of EsnesbesneB, on the Mouse bank. Cannonading continued be tween Vauz and Damloup. DIVORCE IN EGYPT. Ninety Out of Every Hundred Matins There End Disastrously. There Is one country tn the world, at least, where divorce la more fre quent than In the United States. In Egypt 00 per cent of marriages end In divorce, says Elizabeth Cooper In ber book, "The Ilnrim and tbe Purdah." and it has been observed that two peo ple who live to old sjfe together with out one of them having been divorced are rarely found. , Divorce can be had for lucompnia blllty by mutual consent, Mrs. Cooper says, without recourse to the courts, but If tbe wife wishes to be free and tbe bnsbnnd will not penult It (lie wo man may go before a judge and state ber case, and If her chnrttoH are proved she will be grunted her pclltlou. Often a woman will return ber dower or agree to forfeit the part nut yet paid, and in many tuxes the wife makes a money payment to the ovarii Ions hus band In return for her liberty. Divorce Is easier for the Egyptian hiiMbauil than for tho wife, according to Mrs. Cooper, uud following u (11 vorco the woman Is commanded to re main single three nimuhs, while the man may rerniirry immediately.

An earnest advocate of tho "Swiss sys tern" for his own republic, he be lieves tho system should be modified if introduced In the United States. I asked him how the Swiss mili tary system would hare helped Amer ica In the Mexican troubles. It would not have prevented Villa's raid on Columbus, he said.

"Yes, the border troops would meet the brunt of battle first," was the reply, "but it would be the duty of your government to see that troops already here were rushed to the scene to reinforce' them and relieve the border contingents." "But suppose the New Yorkers and citizen soldiers of Illinois felt that the Texans should take care ot them selves and did not want to go?" "There is no unwillingness In a real army," said Colonel Sprecher, "but the question you ralBe naturally grows out of the Immensity of the United States.. The Swiss feel that what happens In one part of the country concerns all. The Swiss sys tem, if introduced in America, needs a hundred changes, but the first thing is to get military training start ed. Other questions can be settled as you go along. In America you will always need a large standing army to guard your coasts and bor ders. To this you must add a navy stronger than Japan's to keep you safe. , "You ought to have Immense mili tary supplios along your coasts and borders, but not closo enough to al low an enemy landing forces to cap ture them.

United States flags were dusted oft and once mors unfurled in the sun when Colonel Dodd's cavalrymen galloped Into Caaas Grandea, saving Amerlran Mor- mons there from the Vtlltsta menace, according to stories told by arrivals from that district today. The rescue was dramatic. For days settlers had lived In hourly ter- ror of a Vllllsta raid. Mexicans at rasas Grandea shouldered them away. When news of the expedition enter- Ing arrived, tliolr fears were tncreas- ed. They believed It would take days for the troops to cross Chlhua-.The jhua desert, and In the meantime, j more bandit outrages were expected, Rut Dodd's cavalrymen made re- ;cord speed across the wilderness. Two days from the minute they cros- sod tho border, sot tiers looked to-. iwnrd the northern horizon to see a, ' (cloud of dust. Panic reigned. Theyj The cheering of men who had gone out ready to fight brought to women, In their hiding places, the first In timation that Americans, and not Villlstas, were approaching under that dust cloud. Then the stars and Mormons produced hay and forage for the horses that made tho march Funston called "splendid." Mexicans sullenly watched the demonstration. Marlon, John and Bob Vance, whose father had been reported exe cuted, arrived at Casas Grandea, tell ing of a perilous journey from their home In Colonla Chlhucupa.

"I expoct to visit New York It I can get permis sion. But I have not much hope of ever seeing the place again If I am sent to tbe front. I have been very lucky up to the present, but luck can't last forever." This la part of a letter received today by A. R. Slaymaker, newspaper artist, from J. J. Casey, an American artist with the Foreign Legion in France. Casey formerly lived in San Francisco. "Yes, I was wounded at . Cham pagne," says the letter, "and am thankful it was not worse, as a raft of the boys fell and stayed." The letter was written February 27, from La Volbonne, France. ' His 6eret Oiti With Him.
