Manufacturing company at Pueblo, was
fined 5000 and costs in federal court
by Judge Robert E. Lewis yesterday

turing and selling beer containing in
excess of one-half of l per cent alco-
hol. The Pueblo plant was raided by
federal dry authorities shortly before

Twenty barrels of bottled beer were
confiscated and an additional twenty
barrels were seized on subsequent
date following shipment to Delta,

raigned before the court on a. direct
information.

BOOK THREE
The Payment.
CHAPTER I.

The Lennox home, in the wilderness
of the Umpqua Divide, looked rather
like an emergency hospital for the first
few days after Dams fight with Whis-
perfoot. Its old sounds of laughter
and talk were almost entirely lacking.
Two injured men and girl recovering
from nervous collapse do not tend
toward cheer.
But the natural sturdiness of all
three quickly came to their aid. or
course Lennox had been severely in
iured by the falling log, and many
weeks would pass before he would be
nble to walk again. He could sit up
for short periods. however: had the
partial use of one arm: and could pro-
pei himself-after TIE first few weeks

huiiy had contrived. The great livid

He stopped at the body, and it was

Gibbs eyes grew more intent What

II don't see why need to explain
any Of that to you. What l want to

FARM EQUIPMENT ESSENTIAL
Successful Management of Crops De.
; ponds Greatly Upon Efficiency
Of Implements.

! The successful management of a
modern farm largely depends upon
the efficiency of the equipment with
which the work is performed, special
lists Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture point out.
The equipment of the average farm
can be divided into about three more
or less distinct classes, as follows:
First and most important, are the
buildings fences, implements, machin-
cry, wagons and all appliances used in
the more important farming opera
tions; second, utensils and machinery
used in connection with the dairy, gar
den tools, butchering outfit, and the
numerous small things for general use
about the place; third, the tools, ma
terials, and facilities for keeping the
first two classes of equipment in good
working order.
In order to secure the greatest eff
cheney, all implements and machinery
should be properly housed when not
in actual service, so as to be in good
working condition when required for
use.
