ports the first hay crop Of this year

ditions has always supplied its own
needs and to spare are this season
so short in grass that cattle find III
tie nutrition. The grass blades are so
short that the cattle, in gnawing so
close 10 the hard soil. become affict-
ed with sore and bleeding lips. Now
the hay harvest has begun. and at
the same time heavy rains have un-
fortunately set in, spelling. at leas,
in quality. what little there was OF

The prices paid for hay AT the pre-

lislon with the latter's automobile, was

case seemingly on the assumption that
only one OF tho witnesses could tell tho
truth. that one being Mr.. Robinson. Mr..
Taft further said that while he did not
wish to question the veracity OF Mr..
Robinson he would not be at all surprised
to learn that some of his ancestors were
named Ananias. Mr.. Taft said il had
been brought out In the course Of the
trial that injuries were actually received
ana that the automobile and the carriage
actually came together.
The jury. after being instructed re-
tired at ten o'clock and reported for the
plaintiff at II 40. A verdict was brought
in for damages In the sum of $50 and
costs. The suit was originally brought
