AT THE A.MUsE.U.

Herbert Brenon, one of the fore most Universal directors, returned from Europe some two months ago. fresh from unusual triumph with his supeYb dramas. such as "Ivanhoe" and "Absinthe," and chuck full of originSe ideas for plots and unique effects to be used in staging. "The Price of Sacrilege" was his first big play on returning, and into it has thrown his wonderful skill, the fresh ideas imbibed while away. It is the story of Americas Little Italy, un- like anything ever attempted by the Universal. It's many settings are gorgeous in the realism; hundreds of Italians have been used in many of the scenes. The play undoubtedly strikes a new note in screen trage- dies. William Shay, Leah Baird and William Welch enact the important roles.
 "The Price of sacrilege," will be presented in three reels at the A. Muse-U today.

MRS. BUFFUM IS FOUND GUILTY Verdict Rendered by Jury
 Is Guilty in the First
 Degree"
JURY OUT FIVE HOURS.
Verdict Was Complete Surprise to Mrs. Buffum and Attorneys, Who
 Expected Acquittal.

Little Valley, New York, Feb. 27.- Mrs. Cynthia Buffum was found guilty tonight.
 The verdict not only stunned the woman and her counsel, but caused demonstration of astonishment in the little courtroom which had been packed with people from her neigh borhood from early morning until the Hateful moment.
 In view of the charge delivered by Justice Brown, the blow of doom was unexpected by even astute attorneys.
 The jury was out five hours and twenty minutes. Mrs. Buffum was confident, even smiling at the end of powerful plea to the jury. Judge Brown had charged that if the jury found improper methods had been us ed to obtain the confession from Mrs. Buffum in which she said that she had slowly poisoned her husband to death with arsenic mixture, they should not consider the confession. She had said that the death of the young daughter, Laura, who was poisoned as was her father, must be considered only as a test of the symptoms of arsenical poisoning.
 The attorneys for the defendant were frankly confident almost jubi- lant. The throng in the courtroom waited only to witness the dramas end. That it would be happy end for the defendant none seemed to doubt. When juror Gere asked grave ly if a verdict less severe than that of first degree eenurder seonld be con- sidered. Mrs Bnffom smiled. When the jury came in at 1O.3O with the an- nouncement: F. s5S
 Guilty in the first degree" Mrs. Buffum's heavy features relaxed. She turned dismally to her attorney. She seemed ready to collapse. Her at- torney looked strengthening to her. but she almost fell into her chair after rising to her feet.

For the amuse. ment of his parishioners, and for the purpose of bringing to light any undis- covered genius which might be lying dormant among them, he instituted competition in wood carving, selecting such subjects as man on horseback, walking, blowing and performing sim pie and common actions. The results were startling. In practically every instance they bore striking resemb. lance to the efforts of our ancient ard prehistoric forebears.

A PROGRESSIVE FAIR

There is no community too small
to hold fair of the kind advocated
by Professor Ell. l.. Blanchard, and no
community where such fair would
not be of greater educational value
than some of the large and we'll
known fairs. At recent gathering
of progressive farmers in small
community it was proposed to hold a
fair to show what they are producing.
1t was their ambition to secure a
large exhibit of livestock from out
side breeders and put on fair that
would compare in size with some of
the established agricultural shows.
Professor Blanchard, however, point
ed out that this would require too
heavy an expenditure and advised
them to make their fair a local ex-
hibit, presented in such way as to
have some educational value.
600 out and get the best COWS in
your community. Bring them in
with their milk records and their
butterfat tests. Tell how they we're
fed and when they gave better than
the average flow of milk. Secure
some competent man to judge this
lot of COWS and tell you Of the dairy
type and show you how you may be
better able to select your stock. Get
out a representative exhibit of your
local products, livestock, vegetables,
fruits and grains and then study
them. Learn where they may be i'm
proved.
A fair of this kind would be worth
while for any community.

During the meeting of the last leg
islature the citizens of Bellevue had
prepared bill for the purpose of or
ganizing improvement districts out
side of incorporated cities for the
purpose of ornamenting and beautify-
ing the public road and highways.
The bill was introduced by Mr..
Kennedy but did not become a law.
They are anxious that it shall become
a law at the next meeting of the leg
islature and desire the assistance OF
the people who are interested in mat
tiers of this kind. The law provides
that any body of citizens along a
public highway can form an improve
ment district for the purpose Of
planting and caring for shade trees,
keeping the weeds cut and beautify
ing the roads in any manner. A
board of com issioners is elected at
a special meeting to have charge of
this work and tax not to exceed
one mill can be voted. The passage
of such a law and its enforcement
should add greatly to the beauty OF
the public roadways of Washington.
We hope to see the law enacted.

Puyallup, under the auspices OF the
State College, is doing good work in
preparing teachers for giving agricul-
tural instruction in the public
schools. The schools have too long
followed a course that directs the
pupil away from the farm, when it
would have been just as easy TO pro-
vide instruction that would interest
him in agricultural pursuits. Public
school teachers who are interested in
agricultural subjects and who are
capable of arousing the same interest
in their pupils will do much toward
making the coming generation better

A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT

The increase in profits which fol
lows improvement of stock and equip
ment is shown by the record of
farm in an Easten state. The owners
OF this farm, which was managed in
the fashioned way, kept 16 COWS
and sold their butter in the local
markets for 27 to 80 cents a pound.
The herd consisted of ordinary COWS
of mixed breeding which were allow
ed to run most of the year, but we're
tied up in the 'overshoot'' at milk
ing time. In 1911, becoming dis
satisfied with results, the owners de-
cided to ship cream to nearby city.
This was found to be more profitable,
as they received As to so cents a
visit of the inspector the buildings
were pronounced unsanitary. The
cellar of the dwelling house was used
as dairy house; the barn was an old
time general-purpose barn; there was
no silo on the place. The water sup
ply, which was pumped by wind
mill from the neighboring creek, was
considered unfit for washing dairy
utensils.
The owner built new barn, dairy
house and new siIo at a cost OF
81, 789. The new barn is a one story
building large enough for 30 cows but
so constructed that the COWS can be
kept clean with the least amount of
labor. The old barn was retained for
storage purposes. Record sheets and
scales for weighing milk we're obtain
ed and daily weighings of milk were
made.
At, the present time the herd has
been increased to 80 head of as good
cows of mixed breeds as could be
purchased, but it is doubtful if they
are as good as those in the original
herd. A purebred Holstein bull has
been placed at the head of the herd.
Four purebred animals of the same
breed have recently been added.
Following the advice of the dairy ex-
pert, better methods of feeding in
creased the yield of milk. The herd
records show that during the year
ending September 30, 1913, the aver
age yield of milk per COW was SOP
pounds more than during the previ-
Gus year. Because of the improved
condition of the buildings a better
price is received for the milk, so
with the increased yield combined
with tie higher value of the product
the average profit from each COW was
increased to the extent of $24 70 per
annum.
Purebred stock of high producing
families, with modern time and labor
saving machinery, are profitable in
vestments for the dairyman here in
the West as we'll as in the East.
