Attorney Roche innediateIx con

Attorney Roche immediately conn nenced his argument for the defence, and bore strongly on the lack of di- rect evidence against the accused and the Himsy nature of circumstantial evidence. He argued that the story of Mellow was absolutely true. and that the state had failed to change the story in any essential particular.
 At 4.30, Assistant District Attorney Branch commenced his argument for the state, and stated he would only ask for a fair verdict. one which the evidence shows and for the jury to do what is right in the enforcement of the law. The question is has Mel low proven that he actually killed William Rhodes in self defense? If satisfied that he has, the attorney ad- vised verdict of not guilty: but if not convinced. he did not want the jurors to be chicken hearted and fail to do their duty.
 Mir. Branch then commenced the dis section of the story told by Mellow, and was in the midst of it when court adjourned at 4.50 until 930 Saturday morning.

Boston, March 3.-Agricultural de- velopment in New England is spread ing, in the opinion of speakers at the annual meeting of the New England federation for rural progress today.

GOOD MARKET SQUADS
Best Breeding Stock Is an Es-
sentiaI to Success.
Runt Pigeon Is One Of Largest, But
Not as Prolific or as Good Breeder
or Feeder as Hor7cr-carncaux
Is Popular.

Prolific pigeons producing large
squads are commonly Kept confined n
pens, which involves proper housing
and a fiyway, or outside yard, GOV.
cred with wire. Common pigeons, al
lowed their freedom. are less prolific
and produce smaller squads. A study
of New York squad quotations shows
that the price per dozen for dressed
squads fails rapidly as the weight
goes down and the other departs from
white. While prime white weighing
ten pounds to the dozen brought S3.75
per dozen in March, last year. in New
York. six-pound squads were not
quoted above 50 per dozen, while $3.50
was the high price per dozen for dark
squads. and culls brought only Ave or
six cents apiece.

British Authorities Suspicious When
Travelling Man Sent Message That
They Did Not Understand.

How an American salesman with
a German name, selling -four with a
contraband brand in the Dutch East
Indies. landed in a British jail at
Singapore under suspicion of being
a German agent, was related by Paul
T. Carroll, who returned recently
from a six months tour of the ORR
ent, states the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
"In Java / met Chester Fritz,
salesman for a flour mill, who was
selling a brand known as 'Big Gun"
with a huge cannon on each sack to
attract the native eye" he said.
"Fritz booked an order for 1000
sacks at Batavia. When he got to
Singapore he cabled his firm as fol-
lows:
"'Ship 1000 Big Guns to Bata-
via
"Fritz was arrested by the British
about ten seconds after filing that
cable, and was put in Jail on suspi-
cion of being a German agent.
"After two days of arguing and
protesting, he persuaded the authori-
ties to give him a chance to prove
his innocence, which he did by find
ing a merchant who had some of the
-four in stock. Fritz was released
but he changed his cable to read
sacks of -four instead Of Big
Guns"

variety. The habit of this bird OF
returning home il allowed freedom
makes it necessary to confne pigeons
purchased from other lofts. The
Carneaux pigeon has recently become
popular as a squad producer This
variety is somewhat larger than the
Homer and it is stated is about as
prolific. Several other varieties Of
pigeons larger than the Homer are
used on q small scale in squad raising,
especially in crossing with the Homer
and Carneaux to increase the size OF
squads. The Runt is one of the largest
but is not as prolific or as good c
breeder or feeder as the Homer.
Some of the other varieties reported
used as squad breeders are the Ora.
COON, White Maltese or hen pigeon.
the White King and common pigeon.
Good breeding stock is an essential
of success in squad raising, but as it is
difficult to tell the age and sex OF
pigeons, and age is very important,
it is necessary to buy from reliable
breeders and preferably those who
guarantee their product. Variety
alone does not insure successful SQUAD
production. The birds differ indi
vidually and they should be selected
for their productive power and vitality,
Cor quality and size of their squads
and their ability to feed and rear
offspring. Dark-colored skins, legs or
beak indicate poor quality of flesh,
bringing lower prices on markets.
Care should be taken to select breed
ing birds which have white or pinkish
white skin and light-colored legs.
Pigeons are most valuable as SQUAD
producers when from two to six years
of age, although many will breed un-
til they are about eight years old. The
small varieties mate and breed at five
to six months, and the large varieties
at eight TO nine months. 1t is adyis-
able, therefore, to buy mated pigeons
from two to three years old, or to Sc
cure young birds six to eight weeks
old and tame them at the proper age.
All squads which are to be saved for
breeding should be banded before they
leave the nest and careful record
kept of their breeding. Squads Matched

THE HARVARD REGIMENT.

The tramp of a thousand men
marching in the Harvard regiment
answered many a challenge. Have
college students, more and more ia
vored by circumstance, become so
lost IN seeking personal comfort and
private success that they have no
time for unssffish service? The reg

hours devoted to drill in the midst
of busy weeks in winter and spring.
From the day of their enlistment to
their final review the men have
worked conscientiously 10 serve not
themselves but their country. Has
Harvard's tradition of restraint,
which makes other colleges wonder
sometimes at what they call Har-
ward Indifference, not only curbed
but also broken the university spirit
The regiment silenced such ques-
tons. Its manly bearing mel the
test of Maj. Gen. Leonard Woods
searching eye; the mems vigorous
step and resolute faces gave weak
ness the lie and secuted Indifference.

SORE AT WASTE OF MONEY
Old Skinflint Felt He Had Kick Com

Being economical is an excellent

came when they moved into new
house. When old Skiafirt vas out,
his wife thought size woull repaper

to make it look attractive and pretty.
But when Skinfint saw it he nearly
had fit.
