Wrongly Blamed
for Dire Violation

J. G. Neff was hailed into police
court Tuesday morning, charged with
selling intoxicating liquor to some
youths. in the shape of over-ripe
cider. 1t is alleged that the boys
went to the Neff ranch with a jug
and asked for sweet cider; that after
drinking the liquor that was put in
to the jug they became inordinately
jolly and attracted so much attention
as to lead bystanders to assume that
they were "stewed."
Mr.. Neff plead not guilty to the
charge. stating that he did have some
hard cider. from which he proposed
to make vinegar for his trade: that
he had sent his young son to the
cellar to show the boys where to get
the sweet cider. and that If they did
tap the wrong barrel II was through
no intention of his. After hearing
the evidence the Judge imposed a
fine of SO and costs, which were
promptly paid by the defendant.

Tuesday afternoon. The Loesch
Brothers farm shows conclusively that
1t pays to handle the very best dairy
stock. These young men bought un
improved land on Franklin mesa some
four years ago and have brought the
same up to high state OF productive
ness through grain and hay farming
and feeding OF all their products on
the place. They bought 10 head OF
pure bred Holstein cows In Wisconsin
In 1914. They claim that sale of the
bull calves has paid 10 per cent on
the investment. and that the cows
have maintained the herd from the
sale OF milk and that the heifer calves
are a net profit.
They should have had now more
than 30 head had they kept all OF the
increase. but It has been their policy
to sell Off the hun calves and the do
mand has exceeded the supply. These

Washington. May 24.-The state
department has ben advised that Gen
eral Obregon is sending force of
10000 Mexican troops into northern
Mexico. This is 10000 more soldiers
than the war minister of the de facto
government of the southern republic
promised General Scott he would
send to quell all disturbances by the
bandits there, and much speculation
is rife over this action of Obregon. as
1t is reported here that a strong force
was not necessary. Some artillery is
carried by the army
Altho Washington officials decline

that this move is regarded as threat

The offerings of sheep and lambs

steady to strong. and in some case
traders quoted deals as much as 10c
higher. Some choice handy clipped
lambs brought s10.90. a new record.
