MAKES IMPORTANT RULING
When Last Day for Appeal is
Sunday, File SATURDAY.

When the last DAY for an appeal
falls on Sunday in legal procedure in
the United States courts. the appeal
can not be entered on the following
Monday. on the ground that Sunday
was a holiday. This decision was
handed down yesterday in the United
States circuit court of appeals IN the
case of George Won L. Meyer against
the Hot Springs Improvement COM
paBy.
Judgment was taken by the improve
ment company against Meyer. who
failed to file his appeal until one dav
after the time specified by law
Meyer offered as his defense that fhe
last day in which he was allowed to
nle the appeal fell on Sunday, and that
IN view of such fact that he had right
TO file the appeal the following day.
The court OF appeals admitted that
this was n practice in lower state
court proceedings. but there was no
precedent for such procedure in the
United States courts.

in conjunction with George Robertson
of the chamber of commerce and sew

work of distributing literature through

handle California raisins.
RAISINS IN MEXICO
H. j. Snyder of the Mexican Central
wrote the Fresno chamber of commerce
yesterday that the national lines of
Mexico would not only put raisins on
the tables of their dining cars. but they
would distribute all the literature that
was sent them On the subject.
An innovation in the baking line is
raisin bread. 1t is claimed that bread
in which raisins are mixed is more
wholesome than ordinary wheat bread,
and it is urged also that it is less ex-
pensive. for bread In which raisins
have been put can be eaten without
butter, as it is richer and more nutri-
tious. Bakers are urged to keep on
sale raisin bread for use in the homes
and in public eating houses.
This week Fred Shoup will address
Fresno county on the raisin problem,
and his activity has made the farmers
come forward literally. and they are
offering to tax themselves so much per
acre to help on the work.
1t is estimated that. at least. $4,000
will be necessary TO complete the work

Governor Haskelrs attorneys began

also was charged that the grand jury

Outings With PlethOric
Sketch Portfolios
By Margaret Marshall Doyle

William Keith, the famous landscape
artist whose exhibition was to have
marked the opening of Vickery, At
kins & Torrey's new quarters, has de-
cided not to have his work on view
until later in the season. In spite of
a slight attack of illness, he has been
painting steadily during the summer
and he Will have some remarkably
striking canvases to display this fall.
About two dozen of his latest pro-
ductions We're bought two weeks ago
by the Macbeth galleries and will be
exhibited in New York this month.
Keiths paintings are almost as well
known in New York as they are here.
They have always won their own place,
for their faithfulness TO nature. their
poetic execution and their richness and
trueness of touch.
Three of his attractive recent can
vases have been purchased by Mrs.
Francis Carolan, for the adornment Of
her new home at Mountain View, and
two of his paintings, just completed,
