Jimtown moonshine and warm

Pete Daley and Hubert Gallagher

Jimtown is' ON Scots Run, near Nor

here looking for work. Fearing
that In their over ambitious state

night in the city hotel and have a
chat with the Mayor this morning.
Pete told the Mayor that he had
spent over, $3.50 for booze in the
Just recent past and that he made
good money when he was working
Mayor Conway told him he should
have guardian and advised s5
fine on general principles. Pete's
Jimtown friend also got IS SEN

Pete seems to have a good credit
record with the police. He was dis
missed on condition he would send
in the money by Saturday. His pal

Wren
Upsets Plans
ofdFamily.

There will be one less awning
shaded porch in Quincy street
this summer for a few weeks
at least and the reason is that
Mrs. Jenny Wren and her mate
discovered the folds OF the old
torn awning to be a most ap-
propriate and convenient place
in which to build nest and
raise their young. They had
progressed so far before their
house keeping plans were dis
covered that no one had the
heart to play the cruei landlord
and turn them out, SO It was
decided to let the awning go for
the present. Now the family
gits with faces turned away from
the sun while they wonder Just
how long it takes a wren to
hatch and rear her young.

.CONEESS!0N SURPRISE
Defendant In Bigamy
Trial Gets Three Years
At Moundsville

~
A most sensational denouement
materialized yesterday afternoon in
Criminal court when Earl NJ. Taylor
alias Merle M. Dasco, charged with
bigamy, took the witness stand. AZ
the conclusion of his trial Taylor
was sentenced TO three years in the
penltentiary for his crime. Two
women, May Taylor Of Toledo, o,
and Martha Taylor Of clarksburg,
W Va. both former wives Of the
defendant met for the first time IN
the court room. Each thught she
was the first wife.
Taylor sat very quietly beside his
lawyer and just before he took the
stand he remarked in a whisper "1'm
going to tell the truth and It's go:
ing to startle those women"
A moment later he took the stand
and told.of a third women, ,tthe first

Of which both wives were ignorant

wide open. The other seemed ut

They rallied to the situation how.
ever anod later talked to one an.
other along with fair tiendllness
Before the incident they chatted
continually and seemed the best o.
friends on short notice.
Taylor had been told by his at.
torney previous to yesterday that Il
he cared to prove his first marriage
he could not be charged with big.

as the blgamy would be against this
first wife and his. case would, as Q
result, probably be dismissed,
"No, I'm going to tell the truth
without any more bother" replied
Taylor. -.
Following the testimony Judge
Showalter directed the jury to re
turn a verdict of guilty which they
did. A sentence Of three years re

iost oil Production, which means
procuring the raw material from

means converting the products Of

for human use-and finally the
cost OF Distribution, which means
transporting the material in its

Rtate from the man who has 1t to
the man who can use II.
That Is to say. what you pay in

ucei Il to Your home. That Is the

And that per package wage cost

II low suppose the manufacturer
lN buys machinery. Say he
i spends a huge sum of money
for electrical equipment which en-
abIes that same hundred men to
produce ten thousand packages in
The same time that they could pro.

surely that's clear,
simply means that the. cost Of
