way OF most small country papers
during the past four years. During
these four years the cost OF produc.
tion has increased from 200 10 300
per cent. while the income Is prac-
tically the same. This has caused the
suspension or amalgamatIon OF over
200 newspapers In Canada during the
past few years.
The reason the newspaper grave.
yard is so full is shown by an editor
who has been investigating the cause
of tho high mortality. He figures out
that In 1901 wages were ut 100. In
1914 thay had advanced 10 IFS. and
In 1921. the figure was 800. News.

to Superintendent Moran he said,
How long DO you think 1t will

THAT depends, Your Honor. The cat is
very sick. We have been feeding her the
whites of eggs and hope to allay the effect
of the poison. Two veterinarians were
up all night with her and we have sent to
Greenwich for specialist on poison to
treat her. In all probability we will not
know for two or three days"
I'm three days then, Miss Owen, you will
again appear before this Court" said the
Judge. you will make no attempt to
leave town and in the meanwhile please
try to tone down your fiippancy. A care
less smile has no place in this Court, es-
pecially on the face of q person charged
with such a serious offence against de-
cency and humanity"
Miss Owen left the court in iutter Of
mingled emotions. Three days later she
appeared again. wearing the same short
blue skirt, blue silk hat with roll brim,
blue scarf, stockings and slippers as she did
the first hearing.
Superintendent Moran first presented
his testimony.
"Your Honor" he said, "the veterinar-
fans think the cat will live, but there is
NO doubt that their skill alone saved its
life. First We washed the cat and had
the water in which Il was bathed analysed.
We found that Miss Owen had used dyes
containing s per cent arsenic. This had
been somewhat absorbed through the
pores of the skin. But the greater amount
Of 1t was licked from the fur by the kitten
itself in its desire to cleanse itself. 1t
was nearly fatal case Of poisoning"
