The device consists of delicate tun-
ing fork and miniature telephone.
The full musical note is divided into
ffty-two parts, and by means of the
telephone the director Of the depart
ment can ascertain just how suscepti-
BILE the pupil is to minute graduations
of sound. The test does not require the
singing of a note, or the use of any
musical instrument, but 1t makes pos

NAY RECOVER FOR DAMAGE

The old question of the recovery
for damages to crops by animals run
ming over unfenced land is the sub
ject of an opinion written by Attor-
ney General Frank W. Clancy for
Solomon Gernal. justice of the peace
at Maxwell, Colfax county. After
stating that Chapter 20 of the Laws
of 1909 provides that an owner of
land damaged by livestock cannot re-
cover unless he has his land and crops
ENCLOSED by legal fence, Mr.. Clancy
says:
Notwithstanding this statute, am
of opinion, based upon a decision of
the supreme court of the UnitedStates
that under some circumstances "A per-
son so injured, might recover his dam
ages. That decision of the supreme
court was in case from Colorado
where there was similar fence law
to ours and the court declared that
fence laws do not authorize wanton
and wilful trespass, nor do they af-
ford immunity to those who, in dis
regard for Tsoperty rights. turn loose
their cattle under circumstances show
ing that they were intended to Craze
upon the lands of another, and that
such laws are not intended TO condone
trespasses by straying cattle and have
no application TO cases where cattle
are driven upon unfenced land in or
der that they may feed there"

BUSINESS PICKING Up

The movement of cantaloupes from
California to the Eastern market is
proving heavier than expected and
is making business lively for the Rock
Island and the Dalhart Ice q Electric
Co., which has the contract for iceing
the cars. Ninety-six cars were iced
one day this week and the other days
have not been far behind. Tuesday
the record of the ice company's Office
showed that l,l6l 400 pounds of ice
had been used during the seven days
preceding.
II was estimated few days ago
that the Imperial Valley cantaloupe
crop would not amount to over 1900
cars, experts declaring that continued
rains had caused the vines to sucker
out and not put on fruit On account
of this information the local ice COM
pany quit storing ice and as a result
will be forced to ship in ice to handle
the 1900 car crop which is now eX-
pected. The plants loss during the
stoppage was over 600 tons. Dalhart
