watch under the sideboard in the din
ing room.
In opening the defense Attorney Clair
stated that the price for which KICK
worked was not satisfactory to Kick and
that Kick had left the Lewis house with
the intention of returning Kick had
denied taking the watch and chain.
Paul Kiok, the defendant, who is a
Russian Slav, then gave testimony
which was interpreted. He testified that
the price of 60 per day for his work at
the Lewis farm was unsatisfactory to
him and he had left the farm, but with
the intention of returning. He had taken
Mr. Lewis shirt by mistake and had
left his own, but he had not taken the
watch and chain. The knife, he testi-
fed, was his own.
The case was argued briefly by County
Attorney Fisher and by Attorney Clair,
who had been appointed by the court TO
look after the respondents interests.
And Judge Beane then gave the charge
to the jury.
1t took the jury just about 10 minutes
to reach its secision. bringing in the
verdict of guilty.
Judge Beane imposed sentence uron
Kick of six months in Jail.

HOSPITAL BUILDS
HOME FOR NURSES
ERECTING STRUCTURE EST
MATED TO COST $4,000 NEAR
MAIN BUILDING.
PLAN LATER TO BUILD
HOME FOR SUPERINTENDENT
Nurses Home 3ox6o Feet Being Erected
in Rear of Dwelling Now Used for
Nurses Cottage at 206 East Church
Street-Contains Rooms for Nurses,
Lecture Hall and Library.

At an estimated cost OF $4,000 the
Evangelical Deaconess Hospital Asso-
citation is building in the rear of the
lot at 306 East Church street dorm-
tory for nurses. The building, which
will be Of brick, will be three stories and
basement and will contain thirty rooms.
1t Is expected to be finished and fur
nished by Sept. 1. When completed the
nurses now occupying the cottage at
3O6 East Church street will move into
it
The building has ground dimension
Of 30x60 feet. All Of the interior will
be divided into dormitories for the
nurses, except the first floor, which will
be partitioned to provide a lecture
room for classes and a library. Each of
the rooms will be furnished complete.
The general contract has been let to
c. F. Reimer & Co.
Additional improvements on the hos
pital property, which are to be made
later include the removal Of the cot
tage now used by the nurses, when
they vacate it, and the erection on the
Church street end of the lot a head
quarters building and home for the
superintendent. It is quite probable
that this building will not be built
until next year.

In these days of war economy when
one must get along with fewer frocks
and less expensive ones, but at the
only one thing to specialize in--style.
Every woman who has a style sense
will have ample opportunity to de-
velop it this year and next. She may
not be able to execute 1t in the most
costly material she certainly will not
be able to rely upon all kinds Of trim
ming and so she must get style with
the least possible material, the cheap
est possible material, and the most
lasting material.
Pictured is very cleverly designed
frock for every occasion after the early
morning hours. 1t is extremely simple
and at the same time unusual and
charming enough to please the most
fastidious. Black satin forms the
undertakes. And here it must be noted
that every woman should have an
underslip Of some sort in her wardrobe.
They have become as indispensable as
the separate skirt. The long tunic is
Of heavy lace with a broad border and
a small flower design. The sleeves are
of lace with no lining and the collar
is formed by an odd shaped band OF
the black satin. The most startling
thing about the whole gown is the use
of the very wide fringe on the bottom
Of the lace tunic. Fringe is one of the
most notable features OF the later
models for summer wear. The girdle
is Of let satin.

Results In County Association Three.
Year-OIds Good Record.
The average production of the ten
high cows Of the Marshall County Cow
Testing Association for the month of
May. was 1,5H.. pounds Of milk and
$3.50 pounds of fat Thirty-eight cows
produced over 40 pounds of butter fat
during this record. This county still
holds third Mace in the amount nf
milk produced per month as compared
to other cow testing associations in
the state. The Tripoli- Sumner and
Cerro Progressive Associations rank
first and second and the former asso
citation has the high record for the
month. 1913 pounds Of butterfat in

than 80 pounds Of butterfat per month.
| The herd Of Jerseys owned by Ira
Cook. of Clemens, still retains the lead
in producing milk Of the highest
average percentage Of butterfat, 81
per cent. The present association is
handicapped to some extent because Of
the great distance that the members
live apart from each other, which
makes 1t difficult to hold regular
monthly meetings Quite number Of
dairy men have made requests to join
a new COW test association which is
to be formed IN July. One COW test
association is to be formed in the west
part of the county and the other one
in the eastern part.
The use Of the Babcock tester and a
pair of scales is the only accurate
method by which to detect the profit
able COW from the boarder. One poor
COW may consume the profit made by
two other good cows. The present
war time conditions demands the most
accurate check upon each individual
cow because of the high cost Of food.
Too many good cows are disposed of
before their time Of usefulness is over.
One COW owned by o. J. Olson, of Dun
bar. is producing over 81 pounds OF
butterfat per month at the present
time, at 10 years Of age and she will
be an economical producer for some
time yet.
