There is no black rust in the vest
ern part of the state, according to
these reports. Statements from the
eastern part Of the state indicate thai
black rust has gained much 'headway
in the Red River Valley and the con-
dition has been reflected in an in
crease in wheat prices on the Duluth
market. The rust increase means a
spotted crop in the eastern part of the
state, in some cases fields which were
expected to go 80 bushels an acre will
now yield but one-third, it is said.
The extreme southwestern part of
the state and the northwestern part
promise good yield, the weather
bureau advices say. The heat wave
has badly hurt grain. in eastern

Bowman county and other extreme
southwestern parts of the state good
yield is expected. Crops in the nurth

no hope for pardon under such ver-
dict.

dict was and she was carried into the
court room at $3.50 o'clock.
Limp In Deputy Arms.
The jury was brought in few min
utes later and made official report OF
the verdict. Mrs. Kaber, who was ly-
ing limp in the arms of deputy sher-
if, was asked If she had anything to
say. She merely shock her head, in
dicating that she had not. Judge Ber-
non then pronounced sentence. Mrs.
Kaber was carried back to her cell
in the Jail.
The jury took only three ballots. 1t
was said the first two were nine for
mercy and, three for first degree muir
der without mercy. Before ballotins
the jury had discarded the insanity
plea. Attorney Poulson said he would
not appeal the case, that he was per-
fectly satisfied with the verdict.

daughter, who was with her mother
when she was told of the verdict by
Attorney Poulson said she was well
pleased with the verdict, according to
POulsOn. 5
Shows No Emotion.
When informed by Mr.. Poulson Of
the verdict Mrs. Kaber merely nodded
her head, he said, showing no sign
of emotion.
I Mrs. Kaber is the first woman in
Cuyahoa county to be convicted OF first
degree murder,
Pr. William J. Corrigan, of Mrs. Kaber's
counsel, said he was well satisfied with
the verdict. The same expression was

The Christmas Tree Harvest


The great winter harvest is at
hand. 1t is crop requiring from
five to SO years to ripen. Arriving
late by single day it is worthless,
vet its failure would mean Sadness
and disappointment to all the dwell
ers in childhoodland. It is the Christ
mas tree.
The history of Christmas tree usage
extends far into the mists of anti
quity and its origin is difficult to
trace. Some say it is connected with
the legendary Tree of Time. Ygdra-
sill, the great tree of Morse mythology,
within whose roots and branches
heaven and earth are bound. Some
say the custom may be traced to the
Egyptians who, at the time of winter
solstice, decorated their portals with
branches of the date palm-the symbol
Of life triumphant over death.
An ancient legend of the Scandina-
VANS relates how the Christmas tree
owes it's origin to the Service tree"
which sprang from soil once drench-
ed with the blood of two slain lovers,
and how each night during the Christ
mas season mysterious lights played
among it's branches. To this legend
may perhaps be traced our custom of
illuminating the tree when darkness
comes. Among the Greeks, Christmas
l.; known as the feast of lights.
To people of different localities the
term Christmas tree may mean fir,
spruce, pine, cedar, or even magnolia,
for each region makes use of the most
suitable species found near its mar
kets. In the vicinity of Chicago a
shortneedle pine found in Michigan
and Wisconsin may be used. On the
Pacific coast the white fir finds favor,
while throughout Ohio Norway spruce
Is; largely used. In Maryland and
Virginia the scrub pine finds its way
into many homes, and farther South
cedar and holly.
But the Christmas tree de luxe is
the balsam fir. Of little use for tim
Der, it possesses ideal characteristics
for holiday purDoses-beautiful and
symmetric with long horizontal
branches and deep green foliage, each
tiny leaf and bud of which sends out
