Silence That Terrlfies.

Some years ago Mr.. Cation, the IA
nous anthropologist, invented and
constructed whistle which, by means
of an adjustable plug, could be rem
dered so shrill that presently it ceased
to be heard by human ears. But
here is the curious part of it-after the
sound of the whistle had ceased to be
audible to any human ear, dog was
still able to hear it, and came readily
when it was blown.

To Quote Wisely and Well.

One must be wise reader to quote
wisely and well. And then what serv-
ice is rendered his reader by adver-
Using him where the good things are,
besides the modesty of the practice.
An author should esteem himself hon

is published the more widely, as the
volume circulates and is read. Let
wit celebrate wit with its own ever
flowing hospitality.-A- Bronson Al

Recommend Majority
Verdict to Convict

Tallahassee. Fla, Oct. 9.-Recom-
mendation that the stated legal code
be amended so that ma ority" YER
diets in both criminal and civil cases
would suffice, was contained in the
report of circuit judges VINO met
here at the call of Governor Cary
A. Hardee, to formulate proposed
revision to the Legislature at it's next
session.
The Judges recommended that in
cases where a jury of - men is re-
CURED, the verdict of eleven be ac-
cepted while in panels of six raen,
the opinion of five should prevail
Under the present state law, all ex-
cept capital cases are tried by juries
of six men.
Another ton deals With
present procedure. under which
judge is automatically disqualified
in a case where two electors sign
atfidavits that he is prejudced The
judges suggested that the presiding
judge be allowed to sit in judgment
of himself in determining whether he
would be preiudiced if the allegations
set forth in the two affidavitS were
true. AS an effort to thwart the
freeing of law violators on technical
tiles, the judges conference proposed
that the state be given the right of
appeal from the judgment of lower
courts where cases are dismissed on
demurrer. quashed indictments, or
the like.
The provision in the code that
counsel for the defendant shall have
the last argument before the jury
when the defendant does not take the
stand would lie eliminated in the
proposed changes. The conference
also adopted Governor Hardees sug-
sestion that the jury selection method
be stabilized by establishment in each
county Of jury commission who
would draw up for prospective jury
service the names of not less than
290 nor more than 500 qualified male"
persons. This. with view to i'm
proving the personnel Of iuries.
No provision has been made in this
women.
The present law also would be
amended to allow the removal for
trial to another county Of criminals
when, in the opinion of the governor,
circuit Judge or sheriff fair trial
| would not be accorded in the I'M
mediate community.

Weekly Crop Notes
Statisticians' ONCE

Wakefield. Mass. Oct. :. 1922.
But little rain fell the past week
over New England until near the emo
of the week. Conditions in North
ern sections especially had become
quite dry and rain was much needed.
The acute lack of rain since middle
September caused rapid decline IN
condition. of pastures generally over
New England, and increased the dan
ger of forest fires. 1t became neces-
sarv to close the hunting season in
Maine to lessen the fire hazard. The
dry weather, however. in other re
spects was beneficial in allowing
farm work to go forward and in re-
tarding rot of potatoes.
Corn generally made small gain
during September, but remains a
poor average crop and uneven.
Potato digging progressed rapidly
in Aroostook, Maine, but elsewhere is
only beginning and is being delayed.
Aroostook reports but little rot-very
little more than usual-and stock,
though running much to small size. is
well matured, sound and Of excellent
table quality, demand not very ac-
tive. Other sections of Maine and
New England report much rot and
net yields will he further reduced
Cranberry harvesting is progress
ing satisfactorily, Early Blacks be-
ing about finished and Late Howes
are about ready. Damage by Sep
TENDER frost not over oeo or 3Ge, and
yields running somewhat above
earlier estimates. Berries of good
quality.
Apple picking is now under way:
fruit has ripened somewhat earlier
than usual and has begun to drop so
that high winds would cause heavy
loss. In Massachusetts the crop has
turned out better than earlier ex-
pected, but elsewhere is a light yield
The market and prices for winter ap-
pies have not yet been established.
The peach crop is about cleaned up.

nal through the courtesy Of J. A.
Carnage & Co., Of Augusta and Water
ville.)
Washington, Oct. 9-The volume of
all business transacted in the United
States in September increased per
cent in comparison with August and
was 1877 per cent greater than in
| September. 1921, according to an
analysis Of official reports to the Fed
eral Reserve Board.
The Federal Reserve Board reports
are based on debts TO individual
account or clearings throughout the
twelve districts of the system.
The September business volume in
comparison with August increased
in ten districts and declined in two.
The New York district showed an
increase Of 10 per cent in the 80 day
period, the highest gain reported.
The Cleveland district was second
with gain OF IT per cent Gains
in other districts were as follows
eight per cent in Philadelphia and
St. Louis: seven per cent in Dallas
and San Francisco: five per cent in
Boston and Chicago; three per cent
in Kansas City; two per cent in
Minneapolis.
Declines in the total volume of
business were reported by the Rich
mond district which lost FIVE per cent
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-10-10

and by the Atlanta district-one
per cent.
All districts showed a gain In
September compared with the same
month Of 1921.
The total of debts to individual
account throughout the entire Fed
eral Reserve system was s33 ,276, 0O0,-
900 in September compared with
$50, 459 100000 in August and with
s29,564, 100000 in September a year
ago.
The big average gain throughout
the nation in September shows how
swiftly business is recovering from
the coal and rail strikes, officials
explain. But despite the handicap
imposed by the double barreled walk
out, the volume of business is clearly
far ahead of 1921, 1t is emphasized,
showing that economic recovery is
progressing in virtually all sections
of the country.
September brought increasing pro-
duction in virtually all lines of manu-
featuring and especially in textiles
and steel. Mining advanced largely
in the output of nonferrous metals
as well as in the production of fuel.
Oil production showed an increase.
Employment showed rig gains.
Wage increases are being reported
from practically all sections of the
country.

Several prominent commission
houses were persistent sellers in the

ticular being attacked, but the market
failed to respond tC this prssur.
Corn derived strength from general
expectance that the government report
would prove more bullish than turned
out to be the case. There was also a
falling off in the visible supply total.
Oats were influenced by the action Of

Pearl said she did not know
whether Mrs. Schneider referred to
the murder trial. or divorce suit
between the Schneiders which now
is pending.
Mrs. Schneider also visited her on
the same day, she said. and asked to
be taken to the spot where the bodies
