LOVE DREAMS NOT EVIDENCE.
Chicagoan Expressed His Admiration fo'
Stcnographcr While He Slept.

Chicago, Feb. 20.--Dreams and dream
outbursts have no standing in the Circuit
Court, Judge Rush decided yesterday,
when Mrs. Annie Vallas, in separate main-
tcnance suit, quoted the soft mutterings
OF her husband concerning tho charms Of
Mrs. Earl Knecht, his stenogapher
''He tcld his lofe for her in his sleep and
called her Sis, the name she was known
by in the office"
What person may say while dreaming
may be the opposite Of what that person
would say when conscious, therefore
dream testimony is improper, said tho
Court. Mrs. knecht, q years old ard
attractive, testified that she did not know
she had inspired any dreams, for all was
conventional between herself and Vailas.

Farming operations of 1919 produced
crops that had . value at the farm that
