GOVERNMENT RESTS IN THE SUGAR IRlAE Defense Begins Offering It's Testimony on
 Monday

New York. March 22,-After ten days oi
 testimony the government rested its cast
 today in the trial of John E. Parsons Washington B. Thomas and other difec- tors of the American Sugar Refining conl- pany, for alleged criminal violation of the Sherman law. This will allow inc
 defense to begin offering testimony Mon day. although the attorneys announced that .heir first move would be to ask q
 dismissal of the indictments.
 Closing of the governments case was
 hastened by an agreement between op-
 posing attorneys in regard to the pro-
 posal of the government to submit eyi- dence proving the sugar trusts" alleged
 policy of monopoly. After Charles R.
 Heike, the convicted former secretary of the company, had testified along this line District Attorney Wise agreed 10
 waive his evidence on condition that the defense should supply statement show
 ing what refneries the trust had shut down.
 The defense today succeeded in having ruled out government evidence intended to prove further conspiracy on the part of the sugar trust to entangle Adolph
 Segal in debt to clinch it's alleged grip on the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining ooni-
 pany. The evidence had to do with loans alleged to have been made. to Segal with
 trust money by Gustave F. kissel subsequent to the s1, ,25o,000 loan. Accord-
 ing to the district attorney, these sub
 sequent loans were made to Segal to kees him in such bad shape financially as to prevent him from paying back the sl,25o, 00O loan thus preventing his refinery from being opened.
 Judge Hand ruled that the evidence did not show such conspiracy, but allowed the prosecutor to show that Kissel made subsequent loans for which he personally received stock of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company

Increase Not Warranted
Wage Bill Passes Committee

London, March 22.-Ihe government 5 minimum wage bill, introduced by Pre- mier Asquith in an endeavor to bring about settlement or che coal strike, passed through the committee stage in the house of commons 1t 1:20 a. m., this morning practically in its original form. Practically all the amendments offered had been withdrawn or defeat
 ed. Whether tie bill will ever reach the statute books is questionable for {. 1t Is not unlikely that a conference of
 miners and operators called by Pre-
 mier Asquith for Monday will result in an agreement rendering the bill un- necessary In this instance the meas fure might be withdrawn.
 Prefer No Legislation It is believed labor leaders, having I Jailed to have the government to de- fine in the bill the minimum rates to ' be paid underground workers, would prefer settlement without legisla- l ton.
 It is clear that the strike movement Is weakening and the men are anx- lous to, return to work. The attitude of the leaders Friday was in strong i contrast to the spirit of defiance pre- viously shown. They appeared to have realizedi the ouselessness of fighting both the coal mine owners and the government while dependent on the rapidly exhausting union treasuries and present indications are that work in the mines will be resumed in few days The situation, however. changes so rapidly that nothing concerning the strike can be predicted. It was con- sicered significant that yesterday Lloyds was ready to accept low rates of insurance against the strike con- tinuing beyond March 3i
 Day of Changes
 Yesterday was a day of kaledo- hcopic changes in the situation. The khouse of commons was addressed by Ilhe miners representatives, who inti- Enated plainly that if the bill were en- kscted in the present form the miners kwould not insist on tye inclusion of ttheir entire schedule and the way
 Iwould be cleared for the speedy pas vsage of the measure ana the settlement Vof the strike.

few feet from the shore, a large black

with one paw in the water waving it
gently to and fro. l watched closely
and saw. just beyond his reach,
large male salmon. so nearly dead
that he could not swim. The bear
was using his paw to create an eddy
which would draw the fish within his

not to brighten his prey. At last the
fish came within reach. Bruin reached

DAIlYNOTTS'

The dairy COW IL the farmers best
insurance against hard times.
The COW that Is offered for sale is
seldom the COW you want to buy.
Feed some ground corn, but do not
make It the sole concentrated ration.
Oats, wheat, bran, oil meal and
shorts should supplement the clover
hay.
Warm skim milk for feeding pur-
poses soon pays the cost of farm
separator.
Good pasturage for the calves
means a saving of milk, finer calves,
and greater dairy profits.
The best dairyman is clean not be-
cause he has to be but because It is
second nature for him to be.
Farm fertilizers are valuable and
Important, but the dairy COW should
not be kept for fertilizer alone.
Where farmer is starting on a new
farm where there are only few acres
broken nothing pays better than cows
and hogs.
BY intelligent breeding and care the
majority OF the dairy herds could be
made to double their present produc-
tive capacity.
Too often the dairy, poultry and
hog work are side lines on the farm.
Make them the main line and they
will lead you to profit.
