sUNp1A1. TELLS STANDARD TIME.

There is set up at Eagle Camp. South
Hero, a Vermont invention that attracts
a great deal OF attention. Sundiais, since
the invention OF clocks and watches. have
served more as ornaments in gardens than
as real time-pieces, as they were often
several minutes fast or slow Of the mean
time that was kept before standard time
was introduced. From the standard time
they differed more or less according to
their location, oftentimes being more than
a half hour fast or slow. 1t certainly
would seem to be impossible to make a
sundial tell the standard time with exact
ness, when that Is an artificial time. But
Mr.. Hartness. the ingenious inventor Of
this State, has accomplished this difficult
task The one at Eagle Camp was set up
the latter part Of June. and has told the
true standard time every day since. OF
course the instrument has to be set up
with the most perfect exactness. and q
dial showing the days Of tho month has
TO be turned every morning.

Left Handed Watches is Latest.

Are left-handed people inconven- fenced by the right-handed move ment of clocks and watches? One Kalamazoo jeweler thinks so. His daughter complained that left handed people were not considered by the right-handed majority, so he made her a watch in which the movement of the hands is the re- verse of the ordinary. Other peo- pie of like orientation were so pleased with this concession to their peculiarity that they demanded watches of like construction. Now the Kalamazoo man is thinking of going into the business of making watches and clocks that travel backward on a scale to supply all the left-handed people in the coun-

KANSAS SUPREME COURT
 GUSTS LIQUOR CONCERNS

Topeka, Kan. Dec. 4.-Ouster and seizure of the property of nali a dozen brewing and wholesale liquor concerns doing bushes in Kansas, Gin violation and evasion of the Kansas prohibitory liquor law" was ordered by the state SUI preme court yesterday.
 The orders grew out of proceed nigs brought by s. M. Brewster state attorney general, and as a result Missouri trucks, which are alleged to have been distributing liquor in Kansas City, Kan, Atchi' son and Leavenworth, have discon. tinued service.
 The seizure order was based Up. on a contempt order issued by the supreme court yesterday, which, il turn, was based on a decision o1 the court in 1907, declaring that the distribution of liquor from trucks which had come over the state line from Missouri and into Kansas was unlawful.

CARAWAY WILL AID
 ARKANSAS SCHOOLS

Memphis, Dec. 4.-Congressman sentative from the first district, will introduce timber reserve bill at the approaching session of con- gress, which calls for the setting aside of 50 per cent of all revenues realized from forest reserves in his state for agricultural extension purposes.
 The congressman outlined the bill as he sat in the lobby of the Pea body hotel last night, shortly be- fore he boarded the Memphis spe- cial for Washington.
 If the bill is passed Arkansas l will receive for it's five agricultur- al schools annually $125,0O0 of the money received for the sale of tim Der from government lands. There are about 1,500,000 acres in the forest reserve in Arkansas. The state is now receiving 25 per cent 1 Of the timber revenues Wnlcn IS appropriated to the county schools within the timber territory. The state at large receives none of this revenue.
 By my plan," said Congressman Caraway, "the state of Arkansas will be enabled to enlarge the scope of it's agricultural work and to help the farmers. Arkansas is ar agricultural state, and can never be any other kind. It behooves us to do our utmost for the farmer boys.
 At the present time more thar quarter of million dollars i! realized annually from the timber cut from the forest reserves The county schools adjoining the re serves get a portion of this, it is true, but the larger part of it goes

out of the state. This is what am objecting to.

II am objecting to.
 "We have four agricultural schools, which we are struggling to maintain by appropriations and we have an agricultural branch at the state university. Each of these schools needs more money for it's maintenance. We must have the money if we are going to broaden according to our needs.
 T propose that 50 per cent of this $250,000 be divided equally among the five agricultural schools for the promotion of the agricul- tural work strictly, and that with part of this money farms adjoin- ing the schools be bought and maintained With this additional fund within few years our schools will be self-sustaining.
 The congressman commented at length on the work the farm de- velopment bureau is doing in Ar kansas.
 Do you know that within the last year or so our whole system of agriculture has been changed" he said. II attribute this remarka- ble fact to the five great schools we have instituted and it is being greatly aided by the work of your own farm development bureau. I find that in Arkansas farmers have an entirely new conception of farming. They are diversifying to the fullest extent"
 AS to national preparedness Mir. Caraway is not prepared to accept all of the administration plans.
 For my part" he asid, 'I would vote for larger navy and I would vote for larger military school system, but not for larger stand ing army such as we now have.
 At the present time the army is in such a condition that very few decent men wish to enlist A place in the standing army offers nothing to a man of education and ambition. 1 am in favor of endow- ing military schools and in favor of a citizen army, most assuredly."

New York, Dec. 3.-The jury il
 the United States district cour last night returned verdict O guilty against four officials of tn,
 Hamburg line. They were charged with conspir lacy to deceive and defraud the Unit ed States by obtaining clearance
 early in the war for relief ship: sailing from American ports to sup iply German cruisers in the Atlanti,
 with coal and other supplies.
 It was lawful, Judge Howe charg
 ed the jury, for the defendants tt send supplies to the German fleet with this important condition at
 tached: That in doing so the,
 make no intentional attempt to de
 ceive port collectors and truly stat, the nature of the cargo and it's des tination.
 There are three things yor must decide" Judge Howe charged Did the defendants enter into z conspiracy to defraud the United States, as alleged? Did they have la criminal intetion? Did at leas, one of them do any act to affect
 the object of the conspiracy"
 One or more of four frauds must
 have been intended, the court
 charged, to find the defendants guilty.
 First, it would constitute g fraud against the United States te
 procure a clearance from a collec tor of customs at port of the United States by Intentionally mak ing a false manifest regarding the kind or quantity of cargo shipped Or the destination of such cargo whether it was foreign port or {
 place on the high seas where for eign warships were to be met fol the purpose of delivering such car goes.'
 The second fraud outlined by Judge Howe was the procurance O. a clearance by falsely stating tht destination of a vessel about to pro ceed to sea; the third, to cause { collector to make a false record and the fourth, to cause collector to make false report to his su periors by having procured clear ance on transformation. It would be impossible, Judg' Howe told the jury, to bring in {; verdict of guilty for less than tw' of the defendants, as one man alon,
 could not conspire.
 | Prior to Judge Howe's charg, | the days session was devoted t' summing up.
