News of Surrounding Towns

New York, March 15. Even the mother of Prank Yockel of 806 Westchester avenue admits that he Is a queer boy. She says that he has the most amusing preference for sleeping under a bed to sleeping on it, and that he often exhibited his ears stuck full of pins, declaring that it didn't hurt at all. But that he would become a near bandit, take refuge in a cave and with bludgeon, revolver and keen-bladed knife defy a cop and forty laborers she never suspected he would do such a thing. He did, however. First on Monday evening he possessed himself of her pocketbook containing more than $20. By a secret yodling call he brought a trusty band about him. When he had bought them ice cream sodas and had vaguely hinted that he would purchase more, they swore that they would never leave him. He led the way then to the secret lair. It lay unsuspected upon the

rocky heights of St. John avenue and Pox street. There huge, Jagged chunks of stone that some builder will use one day had been so piled that among them a boy wriggling through a narrow crevice may find wthin a roomy compartment. Here was stored a library of the tales of great bandits, stolen fruit cake, fifty mashles, a rusty rifle and a life-size lithograph of the immortal James J. Jeffries. Arriving at the cave. Chief Prank announced that he meant to live there. He invited the desperate band to live there with him. They did until about 10 p. m. First one and then another developed a toothache and had to go home, until their gallant chief was left alone. But night had no terrors for him, and when dawn broke, with a sardonic smile he watched the milkmen on their rounds. About 9 o'clock his mother, who hadn't slept a wink, discovered through a traitorous member of the band where he was. She sent for his Uncle Philip, who got a cop William Brown and the . two attacked the cave. : At the first sally they fell back in dismay. Puffs of smoke spat through the crevices of the rock. It took them some time to learn that Chief Frank was using blank cartridges. The attacking force consulted. Nearby was a big force of laborers. Policeman Brown had a short talk with the foreman, with the result that forty men attacked the defiant chief's fortress with crowbars. Great stones were hurled aside. One of the nlen lassoed the chief with a rope as he stood rigidly and with white face blazing away at them with his blank cartridges. Caught by the rope, with his trusty knife he severed his bonds and laughed hoarsely.

But when finally ten big stones had been removed and what had been a mere slit of a crevice became a hole big enough to admit six men abreast,

he flung, down his revolver and holding up hands that never trembled he

cried: . "I surrender!"

Now Chief Frank is with the Gerry

society. His mother and the family

doctor say he really belongs in a sanitarium.

Balthiz had worked for years with the father of the girl, and the father had proposed the marriage. The girl balked and declared that she would not marry Balthiz, Arrangements for the marriage had been made, and when Balthiz went to get the license, the girl slipped away with George Eriokl, and came to Kenosha, where she remained in hiding until found by Balthiz on Saturday. This morning the two rivals met and the girl was with them. She declared that she would not marry Balthiz, and the two men at once began to discuss a bargain which would make her free.

YOUR- BACK YARD

With the price of meat mounting higher and higher, with pork already out of sight, the question of how to supply the needed meat for the proper upkeep of the body becomes a serious one. Many people have found, and more are finding the answer to this problem to be in keeping '

The modern way of raising poultry is to confine them to small spaces. Many people have actually found that they can make a- living for an entire family from the products of raising chickens in the back yard. But the old way of raising chickens by a hen mother must -be discarded. It is too slow and uncertain. The Banta Dncubafor will solve the problem of starting the chickens in life. With its automatic heat control, its air tight egg chamber, its perfect construction and insulation, its superior heating system either hot water or hot air; its adaptability to any size poultry yard, it sets a standard which no other incubator has reached. Prices range from $1 1 for the 50-egg size up to $57 for the 720 egg size.

Everything For The Chicken Yard The Banta Indoor Brooder; the Outdoor Brooder, the Heatless Brooder, the Colony House, the Metal Feeding Boxes and Automatic Drinking Fount are among the things that we can supply you for your poultry plant.

With all groceries higher than ever before, with vegetables promising to be still higher, any means which will enable these bills to be cut down will prove a most valuable help for the wage-earner. If you have some space in your back yard you can cut these bills down.

Ih airdeou Even if it's only a few feet square, a little garden properly cared for will yield big results. Fresh vegetables which you know are good will make up for many things that one can not afford to buy. Yet no matter how well tended your garden is, you can not be successful if you do not start with the right kind of seeds.

Our Reliable
