STATE PAYS HIGH TO
 FIND VALUE OF DOG

OwQsso, April 4.-What is the value of a three-legged dog? A jury is try ing to decide, and it is costing the county s1OO a day to have them do it.
 Can three-1egged dog chase rab- bits just as we'll as one with standard equipment?
 Arthur Brown claims the loss of a leg hampered his dog in hunting and has brought suit for s10O against George Akin, whom he accuses of having shot a leg off his prize hunt ing dog when it came on the Aiken farm.
 Counsel for Aiken claims a dog can run just as fast on three legs.

Washington, April 3-The political pot in Iowa has been boiling hard ever since William Squire Kenyon stepped out of the United States Sen ate and onto the Federal bench
 Just now the old-line Republican politicians of the state are sitting up nights as they try to figure how to prevent another Kenyon from being
 They are being "egged' on by Sen ator Albert Baird Cummins and oth- CTS at Washington who reflect the administrators pronounced disincli- nation to have another Kenyon stir ring up tr oubIe for it at the Capitol.
 For another Kenyon is looming large on the Iowa political horizon in Smith Brookhart. who, aside from enjoying the distinction of being a farmer, a. lawyer and an ex-service man all rolled into one, is noted for the independence of his views and actions.
 Brookhart Looms Up.
 Brookhart stands so well with the that Senator Cumrrins only beat him for the Senate day 1s,OOO in 1920, and Cum1nins had 'the Republican na- ational orga anization to help prevent Brookhart from winning out.
 Even at that Brookhart carried Cummins' own city of Des Moines and own county of Polk and gave Cummins and his friends a bad scare before all of the votes were counted
 BrookharS bobbed up again as Senatorial possibility soon after Ken yon accepted President Harding's appointment to the Eighth United States Circuit Court of Appeals and retired from the Senate amid signs of relief from the "O1d Guard" Re publicans, whom he had Iw1tted and criticized and opposed
 Kenyon admires Brookhart greatly. The two men are not only close per sonaG friends. but their ideas as to national government run pretty much along the same general and in- lines. Even if Kenyon's judicial position prevents him from campaigning activity for Brookhart it is considered not unlikely. that he will pass the word among his Iowa friends to turn in for Brookhart-

WOMEN IN COURT.

In New York the other day a woman was
acquitted of all blame for killing man with
whom she had lived and who had left her and
refused to return to her.
In New York the other day. girl, young
girl, was found guilty and was given an indeter-
inmate sentence of from three to twenty years
because she did not tell the truth in the trial of
her sweetheart, the father of her child that is
yet to be born, when he was facing the court
for killing another man.
In New York woman so It would seem,
may kill and go free; but if she does not
tell the truth, if she lies to protect the who
is more to her than any other man in the world,
she must go to prison for at least three years.
The Judge in the first case said to the jury
You have performed a great duty"
The Judge in the second case said: i want
to compliment you on your verdict, which is
courageous and just one. Few iuries in this
country have courage to bring in a verdict of
guilty against woman
The truth may be that the greater the crime
the less likelihood of Furnishing the woman in
the case; and the smaller the crime the more
likely is the guilty to suffer. 1t IS diff
ficult to convict woman of murder; but it does
not seem to be so hard to convict her of perjury
