Is it better for jurors to disregard

This IS the burning question that
has excited and divided the commun-
ity. ever since the jury found Mrs.
Nitt guilty OF holding her husbands
head while her lover beat his brains
out with hammer, for which she is
now sentenced to swing.
When the foreman of the jury re-
turned home, his wife. Mrs. Murtaugh,
notified him that if Mrs. Nitti was
hung, she would leave him and vehem-
emily protested against the hanging of
any woman, no matter how guilty

lowing for which we ask careful per-
usal by our many readers. Il Mrs,

z Among the lower animals this same

4Fifty-three years ago while riding
through Kansas and portions of Col
orado. we encountered large herds OF
buffalo that thoughtless men would
FIRE into from the train. Instantly, on
the first sign Of danger, the big
bulls with their thick, shaggy names,
formed a Gordon on the outside four
or hve tiers deep, with the cows and
calves in the center.
Throughout all history, men, both
savage and civilized, have fought
bloody battles, but always kept the
women and children behind the firing

There was nothing strange about
the conduct Of the men on the Titanic
in saving the females and going to the
bottom Of the sea themselves, nor was
it due to the civilizing influences OF
art, science, and religion, but to the
primitive instinct manifested through
out all life which impels the male to

ones and increases the loss sustained
by the producer. This loss is esti-
mated at from 8 to 16 per cent of the
total value of the eggs sold. For
the state Of South Dakota the loss
would undoubtedly approach the
higher figure, owing to the consider
able distance from the large markets,
and the irregularity Of shipment in
many parts of the state.
There are various methods of find
ing an outlet where quality of the
eggs will be given consideration. 1t
may be done by direct sales to con-
sumers, by special arrangement with
q local dealer, by shipmnt through
a reliable commission house or to
a jobber, CF by cooperative arrange
ment whereby a number of producers
build up a market for a special quail
ity brand of eggs. This latter plan
requires careful planning, more or
less time to de"elop a demand, and
may require more or less consistent
advertising. AS a rule, the plan that
results in the most direct dealing
between the producer and consumer
is the best, provided it can be ar
ranged without requiring too much
time and effort on the part of the
producer. Under the South Dakota
conditions it is usually necessary to
deal through n or more middlemen.

Keeping Vegetables and Fruits The
department of agriculture offers these
suggestions to housewives for keep
Ing vegetables and fruits for winter
use:
Potatoes should be placed in a cool,
dry and dark bin and sprouts should
not be allowed to grow. Such roots
as turnips, carrots and parsnips re-
main plump and fresh IL placed in
earth or sand filled boxes on the Gel
lar floor. Sweet potatoes may be kept
until January IL cleaned, dried and
packed In chaff so they will not touch
each other.
Pumpkins and squash must be tho
roly ripe and mature to keep we'll.
They should be dried off from time
to time with a cloth and kept, not on
the cellar floor, but on a shelf, and
well separated from each other. Cab
bages, kept in barrels and packed
with roots uppermost, will remain
fresh a long time. Celery should not
be trimmed or washed, but packed
with head UP in long, deep boxes,
which should then be filled with dry
earth.
Tomatoes may be kept until Janu-
airy, IL gathered just before the frost,
wiped dry, and placed on straw GOV
cred racks in the cellar. They should
be firm and we'll grown, not yet be-
ginning to turn. AS they ripen they
must be taken out tor table use, and
any soft ones removed.
Apples for autumn S may be
stored in barrels, but if they are to
be kept until late winter or spring
they must be of a long keeping vari-
city and without a blemish. Wipe
them dry. place with little %crowding
on cellar shelves; a further precau-
ton is to wrap them in soft paper.
Pears also may be kept this way for
a limited time. Lemons and lines
may be kept in brine or packed in
salt; both lemons and oranges will
keep well in a cold but not freezing
temperature. Cranberries should be
carefully picked over and all soft
berries removed. Place in crock,
cover with water and keep weighted.
Change the water once each month.

EGG PRICES SHOULD
DEPEND UPON QUALITY

Bookings, S. d.. Sept. 27.-Prog-
~ressive poultrymen in South Dakota
should endeavor to locate an outlet
for their eggs where payment will
be made for their product in proper
ton to the quality, suggests the farm
economics department at State Col
|lege.
In toe many cases dealers, espec-
tally in this state, have n o been in
the habit u buying eggs on the basis
of quality, but instead have bought
by count, paying the same price for
all eggs bought whether good or poor
i'm quality. This has resulted in the
penalization of the producer of first
class eggs and overpayment of the
producer of poor quality eggs Losses
resus4ing from poor quality Or badly
handled eggs reflect back in lower
prices &c the producer, and n policy
OF paying the same price for ali eggs
encourages the production Of inferior

sion reached by farmers and high
school students in agriculture who
participated in a farm management
tour OF the northern half of Lincoln
county recently. Stops were made at
the farms operated by l.. L. Zbornik,
Robert Shebal and C.. r. Roberts. The
business organization Of each farm
was studied and compared with that
OF the other farms visited. At each
farm the owner gave the important
facts about his business and answer
ed questions that were asked. The

the disease germs which may have
lived over in the potato bins before

The bins should be thoroughly swept
and then sprayed or swathed. A
painting or washing of all inside
parts with a solution of one pint of

is very efficient. Clean, dry potatoes,

PANAMA FEARS
EXPLOITATION
BY GROUP
Formal Protest Made by Board
OF Commerce to Proposed
Plan of U. s. Interests.
By JOHN T. LAMBERT,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

The formal protest Of the Panama
Board of Commerce against the al
legged scheme to sell or lease the
American concessions in the Canal
Zone to g. syndicate Of American
business interests headed by Charles
r. Strotz is made public here today.
Contrary to the denials made by
Strotz and by Governor Morrow Of
the zone, the merchants of Panama
declare that this proposed sale to a
private monopoly OF the concessions
now operated by the United States
Government would render the Is, 900
American citizens there helpless and
might ultimately destroy the local
merchants.
It is understood the protest has
been delivered to both the State and
War departments.
Scope Of Concessions.
The concessions there include
wholesale and retail food stores,
laundries, ship stores, ice, soap and
sausage factories, refrigerators and
packing houses, cooperage and
blacksmith shops. baggage trans
fers, stables and garages.
In it's protest, the Board OF Com
merce of the city Of Colon says in
part:
'"This acquisition Is Intended to
grant to q private corporation
monopolistic rights and special priv
ileges which are decidedly in re-
straint OF trade.
such q transfer OF monopoIistic
rights to a private corporation would
~ kFaxa -
viduals already in business OF the
opportunity to continue to make q
livelihood or support their families.
As neither American nor Pana-
manian customs duties win be levied
on any goods destined for the afore-
said monopoly, the proposed trans
fer to a private monopoly would
give to such private corporation ex-
elusive rights to import merchan-
disc free, absolutely controlling the
importation Of the necessities Of life
for many thousands OF people.
Sec Treaty Violation.
such proposal il apparently d
distinct violation OF the treaty obi
cations of the United States toward
the Republic of Panama.
eff such nonopolies must exist,
only a government itself should pos
sess such broad powers to control
the entire commerce Of a com
munity.
'The Board of Commerce of the
city Of Colon views with alarm this
threatened encroachment into the
Canal Zone Of private monopoly
with special privileges.
1T is the consensus of opinion
Of the board that the best interests
Of the public would not be SERVED
by the proposed transfer, but on
the contrary great distress, hard
ship and suffering would be imposed
because Of the disastrous effects the
monopoly would entail.
THE board does hereby protest
most vigorously the granting by the
United States Government Of any
monopolies or exclusive special priv
ileges to one corporation or OF any
rights that may not be allowed to
or acquired by ALL"

STORAGE URGED
|. To CONSUMER
Of GOAL
Commission in Report to Cool
idge Advocates It As His
Only Protection.

Systematic storage Of bitumi-
nous coal on a large scale by con-
sumers during the seasons Of low
consumption is the public's largest
opportunity and responsibility in
solving the coal problem, the
United States Coal Commission
today informed President Coolidge
in a supplementary report.
Cost Is Indefinite.
Storage of coal by consumers is
the aIl-important balance wheel be-
tween fluctuating consumption and
variable production" the commits
sion said. cit is the consumers
insurance against temporary fail
ures of transportation and 1t IL
the only protection yet devised for
the consumer against protracted
general stoppage Of coal mining or
of railroad deliveries"
The commission pointed out that
in anticipation Of the general strike
Of soft coal miners on April /,
1922, the country bought and stored
more than 100000 tons of BIZ
luminous coal. This huge stock pile,
largely depleted during the five
five months strike, has been nearly
rebuilt In the past spring and sum-
mer. more than 50,000,OO0 tons be.
ing on hand on September last, it
was stated.
This fact shows that storage has
been and can at any time be I'M
dertaken on q large scale In this
country" the report stated.
Much Less BY Year.
The cost of storage is an indefi.
mite figure, according to the re-
port. Considering interest and
maintenance of extra mechanical
equipment, interest, cost, including
freight. and deterioration and
shrinkage, the costs range from so
cents to IS cents for large storages
OF so 900 ton or more, to 81 to 81 so
per ton for small storages up to
1000 tons.
Spread over the total tonnage
used in a year and figured as cost
per ton for all coal used, the fig
ure is much less" the report said.
Anthracite coal will cost resi-.
dents Of Washington about 81 more
coal dealers here stated, as a result
Of the increase Of the price Of the
product ranging from eighty.five
cents to a dollar ton at the
