was guest at the biggest luncheon the
Rotary club has held this wear.
Daniel d. Hammelbaugh, secretary of

players who played Scotch airs to the
delight of the members. Mr.. Lauder
made speech and sang the song
which he had written especially for
Harrisburg. "I will leave the word s
with you and / would like you to print
them in your song sheets. The music
] will copy and send you in "a few
days"
The luncheon was a great success.
Mr.. Lauder told his stories and sang
his songs as only Lauder can, and i'm
manner past description, but what
most impressed those present was
LADDERS very firm conviction that the

world, that it is becoming more and
more influential in shaping business

It is not what this man Daniels did but what Mary Page did on the night that David Pollock was brutally murdered with which we are concerned. Tho State has proved that this woman, Mary Page, entered the room where David Pollock awaited her. That a shot and a scream came from that room. and 1 that the defendant was found in the room with the dead body. And I ask you gentlemen. as reasonable men.

 ''Dr. Foster. you have told the court

 an attack would the patient be con-
 scious of what went on about herr" Certainly not. No more than a per-
 son in delirium. There are cases of
 insanity where the patient, though in-
 sane. is still conscious of those around,
 and can recognize them: but 'repressed psychosis' is like violent delirium. Not only is the sufferer unconscious of those around her. but carries no mem- ory of her own actions back into her normal state"
 '"Then, if Mary Page was suffering
 from such an attack when David Pol lock was killed. would 1t not have been

 Tt would. If Miss Page had one of her attacks on the night in question she would have been equally uncon- scious of the fact whether she or some one else fired the fatal shot!"

 no fears that the evidence of the alien-

 nevertheless raclxing his brains for

ing enlarged the incipient horror till it became repressed psychosis."
 "Then it was her fathers treatment, rather than his intoxicated condition. that drove her insane?" persisted the prosecutor; but Dr. Foster saw the drift of the question and shook his head emphatically.
 Tt was not It was the sight of his intoxication. and the reek of the whis- key on his breath. The pain of his sight of his fll-treatment of her mother naturally had their effect-but they were not the main causes of her de- lirium."
 How do you know that MT. Page gripped her shoulder brutally? Isn't that merely hearsay evidence?"
 No. The marks of the hand were plainly visible on the shoulder of Miss Page when she was brought to me. These heavy bruises overlay a curious birthmark that came and went, and the nails of MT. Pages hand had dug such furrows into the flesh that the scars still remain
 Abruptly abandoning this line of questioning the prosecutor now caught up folded newspaper that lay on his desk. and, thrusting it towards the witt ness, said harshly:

 Startled by her outburst and her pal- Tor. Langdon went quickly to her side and laid his hand on hers.
 "Of course know" he said reassur- ingly T just wanted you to repeat it to the court. That was all-and-I won't ask any more questions now."

And now 1t was Mary whose name
 was called by the bailiff. and the little quickening stir of interest and sym pathy that never failed to greet her swept through the room and seemed to give her a momentary strength. But her face was so white and her hands so unsteady that the bailif. without waiting for another order from Lang don. hurried after the smelling salts, his exit through the door into the
 prison letting in an incongruous burst of hilarity that brought an angry frown
 to the Judges face.
 He was, however. the only one who | noticed it. for the attention of every l one else was fixed upon Mary. who stood swaying in the witness box, her
 eyes turned appealingly toward Lang
 don. But though he read their mute
 prayer correctly he dared not hesitate
 and the very first question was the one she had been dreading.
 Miss Page, will you try to toll the
 Court as fully as possible exactly what | the banquet and joined David Pollock
 in the Hotel Republic?"
 It swept away all her new found hope and plunged her dizzily down into de- spafr. To her it seemed to prove that even Langdon placed little or no ere- dence upon the words of pr. Foster and she had a feeling of being suddenly solated-alone-in a world of hostile faces. A sob caught in her throat and
 the room grew black before her. and when she spoke her words came slowly -one at time. and sounded strange to her own ears-as though coming from great distance.

 "Ohl MT. Daniels left. did he? When?" "A few minutes after Miss Page had gone. He said he was going to see

TIE cow A STAR BokRDER

1t has always been tia policy Of this
paper TO publish any Aad ali things
upon topics Of value 10 Tire farmers la
this community. AS the farmer pF,r1-
pers, so does the community, and upon
this timely subject Of the mitch ccsy
Ne are recording some facts that
should aid Tie farmer in getting more
pr It's from mis- business.
What we weCld think OF 4 man who,
Instead Of epltiyating his land, would
sell q few acres Of IL each year for his
living, would not be q compliment TO
him as farmer He Is In tire same
Class With the man who plugs up tie

crops, by taking from 1t its strength
IN crops each year and putting none
BACK Into Is in the form OF fertilizer.
However, many farmers In this con.
munity are handling their mich cows
W much tlle same way, 80 far rs get
ting any profit from this department
Of farming by NOT putting their cows
on q permanent paying basis. They
have allowed them 10 become, in real.
ity, high-priced boardt J that never
pay back In milk, cream and butter for
what they take In feed, care and shel.
ter.
Costs OF farming are going mp.
Horses and cattle are both worth
more on the market. Feed OF all
kinds is higher In price, With higher
values and costs, we must figure out
better ways Of getting more profits
from our present farm equipment.
AZ - 10 4 fea IL. -
Animal Husbandry, sets forth impor-
tant facts upon where some OF the
farmers profits could be increased.
The Bulletin states from the results
OF Investigations, that extended over
a period of time that one-fourth OF the
mileh cows In this country do not pay
for their keep. 10 shows records OF
where one man made $50 for every
dollars worth OF feed, while his neigh.
Dor made only sl0o and another lost
b cents on every dollars worth Of
feed that he gave 10 his herd. All
had the same soil and the same mar
ket, with the same priced feed.
Thirty.eight per cent of the patrons
OF creameries actually keep cows at
Q dead loss
Now, good average cow Will yield
5000 pounds OF milk 4 year. Allowing
six weeks ofFthe year for her t. be dry,
she gives. u en-, an average Of l0s pounds
Of milk for the forty-six weeks, or the
balance Of the year. by using cream
separator for separating, y gain Of
fully one pound OF butter Is made
from every 100 pounds OF milk.
Say a farmer has three cows. His
total amount Of milk for the week will
be 32+ pounds. He thereby gains a
pounds Of b litter week. This amount
at - cents pound for forty-six weeks
makes total Of <j1,31---a return OF
over 80 per cent on the money In
vested In the cream separator. There
are, as you will admit, mighty few
investments which will return divi-
bends as large ard rs soon as this.
Another great point In favor OF
changing TIE cow from star hoarder
TO star proht maker on the farms in
this community, Is that when dairying
becomes fSture on q farm, Il at farm
begins To improve. A herd o; dairy
