Nobody will be governed by their opin-
ions or feel any obligation to adopt
their methods. But all this does not
impair the value OF such gatherings.
They are meant ostimulate interest
in a most admirable occupation, and
to inspire the desire Tor more intel
ligent mastery OF that occupation.
Like every other business, farming
calls for a practical famil arity with its
fundamental principles. But il re-
quires something more-in fact good
deal more--if il is to attain the scope
and dignity OF other wisely managed
and successful occupations. We lay
no claim to successful farm ng, though
we are welded to its joys and SORROWS.
But we do lay claim TO firm convic-
ton that the farm is factory OF very
charging possibilities - possibilities
which most OF us have not begun to
realize and never can real &c without
very much enlarged education in
agricultural pursuits. Why not, then,
embrace every opportunity TO increase
that education? Why not welcome
the coming oi the Institute, and make
point OF being present!

Lewis Found Guilty

Last Friday about noon. the jury
N whose hands the fate OF Irwin Lewis
rested, came ntu Court and declared
the prisoner to be guilty vi murder in
the first degree The jury went up at
d O'Clock thursday evening, alter be-
ing instructed by Judge Ilcmphill that
one oi three vcrdicts could be found
murder ~ the first or second degree or
acquittal on the ground 81 insanity
and alter IS hours dcllbcratlun reached
The above decision
MI thursday morning WAS taken UP
by the Commonwealth cy dcnCc IN
rcbuttal Both the mental experts de-
clarcd that basing their opinion upon
two examinations made OF the prisoner
in the Jail and upon the testimony at
the trial, Lewis was sane when he
committed the murder, presum.ng that
it was he Who killed the child.
DR. Burr, Professor ui Mental - :
eases at University Of Pennsylvania,
said that there was not sufficient evil
dcncc IN the case to determine abso-
lutcly the mental state oi Lewis at the
time al the crime, accepting his con
ics,inu aS true. but they agreed that
he MAS below normal in mental drvc-
lopmcnt and llat i was likely, judg-
ne from ihe evidence, that he was SUI
icring from mental depression Both
doctor. believed that his mind was
not SCI much affected that he did not
know right from wrong They said
that he is sane now.
