ABOUT JURY
SERVICE

The distinction between a grand jury
and a petit jury is not clear to the
minds of all women.
b A grand jury is a body which sits
hears all the available evidence against
in secret, conducting a preliminary in
vestigation into charges Of crime. Il
the defendant, and if it believes he
should be tried in the courts for the
offense charged against him, it re-
ports what is called a 'true bill" which
amounts to command to the courts
to try the case. In other words, it's
business is to decide what criminal
cases should be tried in court and what
ones should not; and its work has end
ed when it has determined this.
A petit jury, on the other hand, is
body of persons which listens to the
evidence after the case has been brot
into court and on the basis of this
evidence decided whether the person
under trial is guilty or not guilty Of
the ofense charged. It does not, how
ever, decide what the penalty should
be in case the defendant is found gull
ty as this is the duty of the judge.

THE WHITE HOUSE:

The White House, the home Of our
presidents while in office, is a two
story building simple and dignifed in
appearance. The main part is ITO by
sc feet in size. The lower floor is Civ
en- up largely to the state dining room
and reception rooms. The presidents
private apartments are On the second
floor.
The celebrated East Room on the
lower floor is so by 40 feet. 1t is the
room in which public receptions are
held Then there is the Blue Room US
ed for diplomatic and social functions.
Several marriages have taken place in
this room. The Red Room and the
Green Room contain portraits Of the
presidents.
The White House is built Of Virgin
ia freestone which is white, and it is
painted white. It was not officially
called the White House until Roose-
velt's time. Previous to that time it
was officially known as the Executive
Mansion.

ATCOlJRT

The evidence is steadily accumulat-
ing to show how mistaken was the old
notion that women are too sympathetic
and sentimental to serve on trial jur-
les or as judges in our courts.
Judge Florence Allen, of the Grim
inal court at Cleveland Ohio, has to
date pronounced the death sentence a
gainst three men convicted of murder
i, the first degree. The first was one
John Azarello. In the jury which con-
victed him was one woman; and she
was one of the most steadfast advo-
Gates of conviction after the evidence
had been heard. The second was Frank
Motto. The foreman Of the trial, or
petit jury, in this case was woman.
The third was an aceomplice of Motto
named Purpers. There We're four wo-
men on the jury which tried this case.
The first woman in the world to be
foreman of a grand Jury is Mrs. Cora
Gross Of the city Of Cleveland. On the
same grand jury are four other women
which constitutes a genuine innovation
in American court practice as there
seems to be no other cases on record
in which women have served on grand
juries.

Children
W()RLI)PROBLEN

Next month there will be held in
Brussels, Belgium an international
conference of a new kind.
1t will be under the auspices of the
Belgian government and it's sole pur-
pose will be to consider child welfare.
a series of questions will be taken, up
dealing with the physical and moral
welfare Of children and the rearing of
infants.
It is a hopeful sign but one that
brings some establishment to see the
government Of the lately devastated
little Belgium leading in a world mcve-
ment of this kind. Yet it can net be
denied that the rearing Of children
properly is a world problem quite as
important as peace, war, or foreign
trade, and one that has had far less
attention in the past.

GUERNSEY
CALVES HERE
Mr.. Guernsey Breeder

Mr. Guernsey Breeder:
Some time ago we made arrange
ments with Mr.. Chas L. Hill of Ros-
endale, Wis, to import fifty purebred
Guernsey heifer calves to supply the
needs of the boys and girls of Wood
County who wished to become mem
bers of the County Calf Club. Some
little time has elapsed since the order
was placed but the calves have final
ly arrived. They landed at New York
or May 10Th, were held in quarantine
for thirty days (this is common with
all imported cattle) and were then
shipped to Marshfield.
We unloaded the calves Saturday
morning, and nicer looking lot would
be hard to find. They run from three
to nine months in age. They're not in
show condition and you wouldn't ex-
pect them to be after such a trip But
they're healthy and willing-and prom
Use to make Guernsey showing at the
Fair this Fall that will be of the best.
We didn't get the fifty, the supply
was limited so they allowed US thirty
two good ones. We want every one of
these calves to become the property of
boy or girl in Wood County that is
interested in Guernseys, and SO we
have made arrangements with the
b,r1xc ~ eyopoo +loo ,,1opoc;+ioy Won
give them your note, they'll do the
rest
A large number Of applications have
already been turned in for the calves
but the number doesn't reach thirty
two, SO if your application is not in
tell us about it at once. Be at the Fair
Grounds at Marshfeld, Thursday, June
30, 1921. The Calves will be there and
We'll help you get one Of them. We
want these calves to show at the Cen
trail Wisconsin State Fair at Marsh
field this fall, and will take the best
ones to the State Fair at Milwaukee
to represent Wood County. Sure, the
boys and girls go with their calves.
If your application is already in,
very fne-be at the Fair Grounds at
Marshfield Thursday, June 30. If it
isn't come anyway, and tell US about
it then. We're going to have a big
day.
Remember this is the largest i'm
portation of Guernseys that has been
made into Wisconsin this year, they
are worth seeing.

As soon as the berries heat the juice
will be drawn out. Let the fruit heat
very slowly. Boil gently for eight
minutes. Fill steriEzed cans full to

jar at time the fruit stays whole
and there is less danger of overlook

while the fruit is boiling hot.

And Sisters.
The Effect Of Fear

4 little girl; Agnes Hughes, of Mil
vile, Pennsylvania, six years old, is a
helpless paralytic, the result of fright
from terrifying stories of MYTHICAL
monsters that Turk in dark rooms. She
can neither talk nor walk.
The child was unusually bright and
early learned to sing and dance. She
had remarkable Use Of words and an
enquiring mind
A few months ago woman told her
there was a "bogey nan" in a room
where she was going. She became
frantic with terror and went into
spasms of hysteria.
She was Gained for the time but
has lived since that time in fear Of
shadows, and her imagination peopled
dark corners with hideous monsters.
After time her constant fear and
terror affected her power Of locomo-
ton and gradually she became unable
to walk. Then she lost her power of
speech, and now she is Utterly helpless.
Her parents have taken her to nerve
specialists but they are unable to do
anything for her.
All children are not SO sensitive to
the emotion Of terrier as this little
girl, but the fear Of the DOGGY man.
IS indirectly responsible for the ills of
Y any children.
The nervous system Of children is
very sensitive and IN the case of this
little girl we have an example Of the
disastrous effects of the emotion OF
fear
The healthy unfolding Of the mind
IF q child is arrested, and the imag-
ination is distorted and perverted.
The child who is habitually frighten-
into obedience is weakened in mind and
body, for the action Of the mind is re-
fected in the body.
1t is a crime to frightan a child to
implant in his mind anything which
will interfere with his healthy grow
tn and development
The mother who rules her children
by fear Of the DOGGY man" or other
objects of terror is cruel and unfeeling
and the ii effects of her weakness are
woeful.

In these days of the rule Of the au-
tomobile, while crossing the street IS
a dangerous move, and lodging cars
is a large part of our daily routine, we
note with satisfaction the intreduc-
tion of organized safety instruction in
our schools.
The safety instruction plan of the
national safety council has been adopt
ed in thirty of our larger cities. A
rnong them are st. Louis, Cleveland,
Milwaukee and Detroit In the latter
city the number Of accidents to school
children dropped after its introduction
from SO in the school year Of 1918-19
70 459 in the following year, and the
number of deaths dropped from 70 to
10. almost so per cent.
Effort is being made to get safety
instruction made a part Of the curricu-
Ium of every school in the country and
every mother should lend her influence
to the movement The auto, although
enc of the most useful of modern inn
elements, is a menace to our school
children. The number Of little lives
stamped out and bodies mutilated and
crippled is appalling, and we know Of
no more necessary line of instruction
for our little ones than that of self
preservation.
If the laws governing the driving Of
automobiles were strictly obeyed, ou1
crossings and corners would not be the
LANCER .zsnes which they are, and oul
mothers should see that-careless driy-
ers are severely punished.
