Charges of drawing and uttering a false bank check were preferred against Wallerich by George Carey of Tipton, after a $150 check given by the former was not honored, it was reported. The Keota man had purchased a load of oats in Tipton and was heading for his home when he crashed with the Muscatine truck, damaging his machine and losing a portion of the oats. When the hearing was held at Tipton, though, Justice E.

C. Gillam was inclined to be lenient in view of Wallerich's ill fortune and released him after he had paid the costs of the action and made good the check.

The investigators for the state department of registration and education arrested 12 men and a woman Tuesday on warrants charging violation of the state medical practice act. One investigator reported his protended ailment was diagnosed as neuritis and was manual manipulation.

The hum of a machine was used to "soothe" the patient's nerves. Another investigator said he was strapped by the ankles and head to a table. The treatment consisted of stretching the patient by means of a crank arrangement. One of those under arrest was said to have prescribed "concentrated food" in the form of 14- grain tablets for treatment of neuritis, another to have used a wooden paddle and rubber mallet Although Boost farmers in Muscatine county have been, balked by wet weather tin's month in jetting under way with their spring: work in the fields.

Nicholson from State Auditor C. 'W. Storms. Bills have both the state house and senate to extend the delinquent tax date three'months, from April 1 to July 1, 1937, the state auditor said, and it is expected that Gov. Nels G.

Kraschel will sign the measure within a few days. "We believe it would be perfectly safe for county treasurers to suspend collection of penalties on delinquent general taxes upon the receipt of this letter," Storms wrote. The act, however, does not affect penalties on special assessments, it was pointed out, and refers only to personal and real property taxes. Penalties have been collected; by the county treasurer up until this time on assessments not paid by April 1. The law provides that any penalty- paid prior to taking effect of the act shall be Charms Displayed by Babes Fail to Halt Death Edict A litter of seven cub captured on the Floyd Davis farm in Fruitland- township, was being'-proudly displayed Tuesday afternoon'by three Muscatine county youths at the court house where claims for $2.
