Show TOBACCO LAW BREAKERS PROSECUTED AT FERRON Judge E. D. Sorenson of the juvenile court for this judicial district, accompanied accom-panied by Levi N. Harmon, district probation officer, spent the middle of the week in the county looking up different dif-ferent matters connected with juvenile work. Among other business attended to while here was the prosecution of Jai. L. Stevens of Ferron for furnishing minors with tobacco a serious offense under the tobacco laws passed at the last session of the legislature. Stevens was fined $25 and it is hoped that this one prosecution will be enough to convince all dealers in the county that the law and those commissioned with the enforcement of the same are not to be trifled with. It is bad enough for a youngster to be addicted to the use of the weed, but it is shamefully disgraceful when a dealer, deal-er, who should know better, thus contributes con-tributes to the delinquency of theyqjith of the community; and it is the policy of the juvenile officers to give the greatest publicity to all convictions secured se-cured under the law in the hope that others who may be guilty may know what is coming to them if they persist in disobeying the statute. |
