One of the hsndiest things about

who still stack all hay outside need
one more. But there are many other
uses for one, such as covering loads

California article.
Cabbage and other plants can be
protected from cutworms by erect
a two-inch-high paper fence around
each stem. Lap the paper ends and
push the fence" an inch into the
soil to hold it in place. The paper
should not come nearer to the stem
than about one and one-half inches.

The Comic Side Of Crime.


1t is 4 generally accepted fact that

is perhaps rather queer story. but it
is worth quoting il only to emphasize
the futility of choosing juries in the
haphazard way still followed in Eng
land:

sfstible Ito any body but jury" for a
most terrible murder. He had slain
his father and mother ON testimony so
clear that there could be no shadow OF
doubt as to his guilt
The jury brought in q verdict OF not
guilty.

NOTES OF ART

A large and appreciative audience
listened to the lecture on Paintings:
How to Judge and Appreciate Them,
given last evening in the Pythian
Temple by Mr.. Ralph Clarkson. the
celebrated artist Of Chicago. He was
introduced by Mr.. Cleveland K.
Chase of Earlham College, who spoke
briefly of the interest manifested in
painting and the steps now being TAX
en- to establish gallery in the new
high school building. Mr.. Clarkson
showed in very interesting manner
how the American people are lacking
in art. In part he said that we are
not good observers. The daily scenes
of beauty are passed by unnoticed.
Many well known pictures were
thrown on the screen to illustrate the
different points brought out by the
lecture.
The affair was very successful,
about two hundred persons being in
attendance.
