Chicago, Nov. 13.—Statistics show ing that complaints of cruelty to wives and children have increased 23S per cent since prohibition became ef fective and more rapidly in the last six months than during the Ant halt of the year were given in the annual report of Albert E. Webster, Super intendent of the Juvenile Protective Association, made public today. "Men who formerly drank heavily," the report reads, "have undergone a reaction which expresses itself in sur« liness or abuse of the family." Other classes of complaints also are shown'to have increased. Juvenile de« linquency has increased 40 per cent, complaints against disorderly house* 80 per cent, or about 700 per cent over the war period, and complaints con cerning runaway and immoral girls nearly 100 per cent, or 80 per cent more than during the war period. On the other hand, it was shown that complaints of adult contribution to child delinquency on account of liquor have decreased 74 per cent since the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect, prosecutions for non-support have decreased 20 per cent, disorderly conduct charges have been cut in half and insanity complaints reduced 60 per cent. UNEMPLOYED NOT ANXIOUS FOR JOBS You could no more stop this fall^ in prices, wages and cost of production than you could stop Niagara Falls. There is no getting away from the fact that we are going back to the econom ic scale of 1914. We will not stop un til we get there, and the rest of the country had better get onto the band wagon before it is too late." It was one of Henry Ford's chief lieutenants in Detroit who uttered this verdict last week. He said that 75,000 men had been laid off in Detroit. Supposedly they were out of work. The Board of Trade and Mayor James Couzens placed the figure at 60,000. Normally Detroit has an unemployed and transient working population of 10,000. Yet, with 75,000 unemployed in his city, Mayor Couzens, in an effort to "ration" jobs to the jobless, was un able to find a thousand men who were willing to clean streets and do other city labor at $6 a day. The Mayor was obliged to abandon his effort to find work for the city's unemployed. Detroit newspapers jumped to the conclusion that laborers, after three or four years of almost fabulous wages in the automobile factories, were too proud to do routine public service labor, even at $6 or more a day. "Of 265 jobs at street cleaning, pay ing $6 a day, and garbage collecting, paying $6.50, offered, only eight were accepted," explained the Mayor. "The unemployed apparently don't want jobs they want positions." That is the situation in Detroit— credit tightening, factories closing down, thousands enemployed, prices slowly breaking and business prepar ing to retrench until normal condi tions are reached. In Cleveland a Sim ilar condition prevailed, with esti mates of the unemployed ranging from 50,000 to 100,000. CROW, FRIEND AND NUISANCE That the crow's character is not so black as it is usually painted is dis closed by investigations made by the bureau of biological survey of the United States department of agricul ture. In fact, the department's "bird men" say that much of the work the crow does is of direct assistance to the farmer, for "Mister Crow" wages warfare all summer long on insect pests. In fact, insects supply about one-fifth of its food and those which he prefers in his diet are the worst insect pests the farmer has to con tend with—grasshoppers, caterpillars, and white, grubs and their parents, May beetles. On the other hand, the crow raids the cornfield and the poultry yard, and kills small wild birds and de stroys their nests. From the evi dence at hand the crow's merits and shortcomings appear about equally di vided. While it would not be well to give it absolute protection and thus afford the fanner no recourse when the bird is doing damage, the bureau of biological survey believes that to adopt the policy of killing every crow that comes within gunshot would be equally unwise. Order to Show Cause in Lowe Case McGee & Goss, attorneys for John C. ,Lowe, secured orders from the Su preme Court issued to compel Judge Leighton of the District Court to show cause why he did not violate his discretion in designating Ramsey county as the place wherein the case is to be tried. The order is return able Nov. 23, and there is a stay in all proceedings in the meantime. Plenty of Teachers for Ward County Schools A. M. Waller, county superintendent of schools, states that there is only one vacancy in the schools of the county, that being in Linton town ship. There are 319 rural school teachers in the county who receive an average of $107.00 per month, their wages running from $90.00 to $135.00 per month. The higher wages offer ed has relieved the shortage. Sheriff's Sale at Surrey Notice is hereby given that the fol lowing described articles will be sold at public auction at Surrey, Nov. 23, at 2 p.
