from year to year. Every farmer has
a desire to be a better farmer, and
grow better crops, better hogs, horses
and cattle year after year. Since
dairying is an essential part Of his
business, and Is that part which for
many years supplies him with the
money necessary to keep the other
parts going, why should he not seek
to milk a better COW next year than
he MIXED this year? Aside from the
incentive toward improvement for
improvements sake, there is the add
ed advantage Of greater profit each
time the COW is MIXED, which is twice
per day for 10 or IL months Of the
year. Cow improvement will come,
first, through better housing and bet.
ter feeding. The capacity of the cow
ear then be measured. If she does
not reach a standard Of profit under
good treatment in housing and feed
ing, the improvement must then come
through the breeding Of a better COW.

The Tanoo In Church.

Mother, like countless other moth
ers, had been doing much tangoing
and hesitating of late. She had taken
dancing lessons. She practiced the
various steps at home with father. Lit
tie Frances had heard much of the
lingo that goes with the tango, and the
hesitation. She knew all of the
phrases.
A few days ago Frances went to
church with her mother. Frances had
not learned all of the ceremonials OF
this church for, after the mother knelt
outside the pew, Frances looked up al
her and whispered:
Mother, what did you do the dip
for?"-Indianapolis News.

Keep Hous Healthy.

Anyone who has had experience in
growing swine and who has tried to
treat them when sick has noticed how
extremely difficult 1t is. 1t is not so
difficult as long as the swine will eat.
Medicine may be put into the food, but
swine that are very i'll will not eat.
Take, for instance, pneumonia; for
treatment, when in severe cases heart
failure is feared, it is recommended
that digitalis shall be administered
In occasional doses. but how is it to
be administered to a hog sc sick that
he is In danger Of heart failure? The
better plan by far is to try to keep
the swine so comfortable that they
will not be threatened with heart fail.

it at an angle of 80 degrees, while DR..
Morse was caught turning in the center
of the block The two first named ap-
peared this morning at o clock before
the police judge and took "a hours in
which to plead. They will appear ar
$3.50 o clock Monday morning to plead.
There are a number of puzzling ques-
tiOns brought up by the motor vehicle
ordinance that will be threshed out in
the courts. G. S. Hamilton AYERS that
the officers had no right to arrest him
for crossing into an alley from the
street as the juncture Of an alley and
street was just as much an intersee-
tiOn as the juncture of two main streets.
He pointed out that it would be tle
height of foOlishness to be required to
go to the intersection, turn, and come
back on the other side of the street in
order to enter an alley.
In regard to this Chief of Police
Shedeck said this morning that he haG
asked the opinion of the city attorney
who had told MIN that entering an al
ley by crossing the center of the street
was violation of the ordinance. He
therefore instructed his men to make
arrests accordingly.

CARROLL DECLARED
GUILTY OF MURDER
Jury Glasses 1t AS 4uurder in Second
Degree-Tried the Third Time for
the Killing of Gervais City Marshal.

The jury in the Carroll case returned
a verdict of guilty of murder in the
second degree at little before 8
O'clOck last night after celebrating
about 5 hours.
Carroll was accused of the murder of
John Collar, city marshal of Gervais on
December of last year. The verdict
came as a surprise to many Of the
spectators of the court room who have
watched the case from the first trial
during the April term of court. Most
Of those familiar with the case expected
Carroll to be acquitted or given at
most verdict of manslaughter.
Carroll kept up bold front during
the deliberations of the jury but when
the jury came in appeared to be de-
cidedly nervous. When the verdict was
read he turned pale and relaxed in his
chair but gave no other signs of
emotion.
In Jail Since December.
Carroll has been in the county iail
since December 5 the day after the
shooting when he wandered into the
police station in this city seeking medi.
cal aid for bullet wound in his
shoulder. lie was dressed as hobo
but appeared to be a working man. He
is 20 years of age and during his con-
finement in the county Jail has lost his
coat of tan acquired in working out in
the open. He has been reticent con
corning his family throughout the trial
other than stating that he was born
at Lawrenceburg, Missouri, where his
father still lives He has steadfastly
refused to discuss the matter further
and his attitude lends credence to the
belief that he comes from a good fam
lily and has but recently adopted the
ways of wanderer.
Witnesses stated that two men were
seen running from the scene after the
shooting and Carroll claims that his
companion did the shooting which re
suited in the marshal S death.
