GRATED ON jURY'S FEELINGS.
Lawyers oratoricaI Flight Well

Help His Client.

According to an Indiana lawyer, the
verdict of the jury in a case tried in
that state was distinctly influenced by
an unfortunate break made by a
youthful attorney in his closing ad.
dress
The defense put forward had been
that the defendant was an imbecile,
and consequently was unable to dis
tinguish between right and wrong. In
his summing up the young lawyer
made clever use of this point; but,
when about to close, expressed him
self in this extraordinary manner:
Gentlemen of the jury, gaze upon
this unfortunate defendant. Regard.
gentlemen, that reeeding forehead,
the significant angle OF those ears,
the lack-luster expression of those

Of the jury that these are unmistak-
able evidences of Natures deprivation
of the power to distinguish right from
wrong? Ignorant Of this distinction
between right and wrong, gentlemen
of the jury, how can this poor i'm

brought against him? Why, gentle

no way can he render himself a
greater service than by getting out
his pencil and note book on the ev-
ening of April the fourteenth next
and making up a statement of his
farm property. The questions to be
asked concerning farm property are
as follows:
l. Total value of farm, with all
buildings and improvements.
2 Value of buildings.
3. Value of all improvements and
machinery. including tools, wagons.
carriages, harness, etc, and all ap
pliances and apparatus used in farm
ing operations.
l. Number and value of domestic
animals, classified as follows:
Cattle:

Cows and heifers kept for milk
Cows and heifers not kept for
milk
Steers and bulls kept for work.
Steers and bulls not kept for

e. Number and value OF swarms OF
bees.
The census viii not ask the value
of household goods, nor that OF hay,
grain, or other farm crops on hand
on April fifteenth These items
should be included. however, by all
desiring a complete inventory of their
farm property,
The value given 10 the farm
should be, as nearly as can be judg-
ed, the amount that could be OBJ
tanned for it if offered for sale under
normal conditions Current market
prices should be carefully considered
in estimating the value of live stock
Although the census merely re-
quires a statement of total value of
all implements and machinery, it is
believed that classification of these
items under the following four heads
will be found valuable:
L. Vehicles: This class comprises
automobiles, wagons, carriages and
sleighs. and equipment used in con
nection with them. as harness. blank
cts, whips, etc.
> Heavy farm Implements; COM
prising all implements and machin-
cry operated by any power other
than hand power. as plows. harrows,
rollers, reapers, movers, hay-load-
ers. feed grinders. etc, etc.
,. Hand machinery and tools; in
Guiding all such minor equipment as
kettles, pals, barrels, baskets, lad
ders. ropes. chains. etc, not includ-
ed in the first three classes
Many farmers greatly underes-
innate the total value of their pos
sessions of this character when con
sidering them in the aggregate, and
it is only by preparing an itemized
list as suggested that an accurate
estimate of their worth can be made.
The value assigned this class of prop
erty in the inventory should be the
estimated amOuLt it would bring at
public auction under favorable COS
ditiOns.
No special blank or forms are
necessary for preparing an inventory.

number of acres OF pasture land ir-
rigated, and the total irrigated ac-
reage.
This outline covers every i'm
pOrtant question that will be asked
concerning the farm products of
1909. American agriculture is so
diversified and so highly specialized
in many of its branches. that any
schedule designed to secure a fairly
complex exhibit Of its resources and
operations must necessarily contain
q large number of inquiries The
average farm operator viii not be
called upon TO answer One-seVenth
of the printed questions, hence the
somewhat formidable appearance of
the schedule should occasion no
slarm.
More than four months remain
in which to review the results
of the year Iyv9 and prepare for the
visit of the enumerator But pre-
parati0n of a written record should
be commenced at once No one
should attempt to complete it in one
evening, but the work should be di-
vided as indicated in the above out
line. one evening being given up to

Printers Lose

What proved one Of the best games
of the season was the ball game be-
tween the printers and the BARRIERS
pulled off last Friday night on the
local field. The first six innings aft.
orded the spectators as pretty ball
playing as has been witnessed for many
day, the score standing 2 to 2 and
both sides playing the game. But
the last three innings the disciples of
Ben Franklin became little care
less and the butchers and BARRIERS
piled up six more scores making the
score read 8 to 3 in favor of the
BARRIERS. 1t is conceded by all that
the game was simply thrown away
and there are those who claim the
printers are merely batting on the
chin scrappers.
However another game has been
arranged and will occur tomorrow at
o'clock p. m. when lost honors will
be retrieved.

Over Thirty-Five Years.

In 1872 there was great deal Of
diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
and Diarrhoea Remedy was first
brought into use. 1t proved more
successful than any other remedy or
treatment, and has for thirty-fve
years maintained that record. From
the small beginning its sale and use
has extended to every part Of the
United States and to many foreign
countries. Nine druggists out Of ten
will recommend it when their opinion
is asked, although they have other
medicines that pay them a greater
profit. 1t can always be depended
upon, even in the most severe and
dangerous cases. For sale by J. J.
