SAYS JUDGE CAVERLY
ILL In A HOSPITAL
Chicago Paper Declares Loeb-Leopold
Judge Has Suffered Nervous
Breakdown.

Chicago, III. - Judge John R. Cav
erly who sentenced Nathan Leopold,
Jr., and Richard loeb, confessed kid
napers-slayers of Robert Franks to
life Imprisonment, has been closely
guarded patient in hospital here
since the close of the case, Gays to-
days Chicago Tribune.
Although Mrs. Caverly, lis wife, de-
MES the Judge is II, and says she has
been going to the, hospital to visit
friends, the newspaper says he is be-
lieYed to be suffering from, a nervous
breakdown, the aftermath of the weari-
some weeks of the hearing in which
his was the sole responsibility of de-
Gliding the fate of the slayers.
The avalanche of letters and tele-
phone calls directed to him during the
trial in efforts to influence his de-
cision are thought to have had a dis
astrous effect on his health, the Trib-
une says. Strictest precautions are
taken to prevent any interference with
his rest.
It is recalled that on September 10
after he had imposed sentence Judge
Caverly said:
II want no one, not even newspaper
men to follow me when leave this
courtroom. Any one will be arrested
who does so. Even more serious con-
sequences may be the result. | shall
leave town late today for destina-
tion / do not want to make public.

I'll go some where else"
Mrs. Caverly at the hotel where they
reside says she returned ahead Of her
husband, who probably will be back

Announce Plans Erection of Thirty Apartment Building Her
Dragon Head Gun
Is Found In RiUer
By WilneOt Man

An old time dragon-head fintlock
gun was brought up on, clam-drag
by George B. Dowell of Wilmot recent
ly while, engaged in dragging for
clans on the Fox river, Just north of
the Wilmot bridge. This gym may have
been lost from the canoe of some
early explorer or fur trader toward
the end of the 18th century. While
there is possibility that it was a
trade gun, supplied by the early fur
traders to the Indian in exchange for
pelts, its fine workmanship would seem
to indicate that when new it was far
finer weapon than the cheap guns used
in the fur trade.
The following is an accurate de-
scription:
Only the lock and barrel remain, the
stock having been decayed by a cen
fury and quarter of immersion.
These parts are still in good condition,
however
The lock is of the dragon-head type,
6 inches in length, and bears the
makers name, stamp, and date of manu-
facture. Name-I. B. Braewetts; Stamp
"A bear in an arched frame; Date
1898.
The other side is ornamented with
solid silver dragon. The hammer
still contains the flint, which on being
forced against the steel striker, threw
shower of sparks into the pan of
powder below, which exploded the
main charge in the barrel. Joseph Hig-
gins, former champion rifle shot and
noted gun collector, saw the gun while
in Wilmot, and pronounced this flint to
be the finest of any he had ever seen
remaining in the hammer of flint
lock gun.
The barrel is A feet long, indicating
that, including the stock, the gun
must have been nearly feet in length
when lost. Its bore corresponds to that
of modern 12-guage shot gun. The
front sight is located three inches
back from the muzzle.
Mr.. Dowell says that when the end
of the barrel first came to the sur
face, he thought he had hooked wa
ter-soaked broomstick. it, was by the
merest chance that the lock was re-
covered at all, as it was hanging
loosely on a bolt protruding from the
barrel.

GREEK CABINET
RESIGNS TODAY
Leaders Out of Touch with Political
Situation Submit
Resignation.

Athens - The Greek cabinet headed
by M. Sophoulis has resigned.
The reason for the resignation has
not been made known, but unofficially
it is said to have been due to the
withdrawal of the party leaders con-
fidence.
The political situation in Greece has
been growing worse for some time,
owing to the inability of the party
leaders to pull together and form
strong government which could pave
the way for general elections as pro-
posed by former Premier Kafandaris.
The cabinet of Premier Sophoulis
has been in office only a little more
than three months. 1t was organized
upon the resignation of the ministry
headed by M. Papanastasion which fell
after a hard struggle for existence
lasting four months.

SIS and Costs and Also
Sent to Jail.
HAD BEEN TO WEDDING
Defendant Pleads Guilty but
Tells Court He Had Secured
Drinks at a Wedding.

John Krasowski, 900 Park street,
has entered a plea of guilty before
Judge Slater in the municipal court
to the charge of driving an automobile
while intoxicated. Krasowski was ar
rested by Police officer Delos Rey-
holds when driving all over the
street.
Krasowski told the court that he
was coming home from a wedding
where wine had been served. He said
that he was driving along the street
at 2:30 a. M, and admitted that he
was intoxicated at the time. Z
''Don't you know" asked Judge
Slater, shat every one convicted of
driving while intoxicated has to serve
Jail sentence?"
Krasowski said he didn't know much
about it.
"You heard that somebody was kill
ed on Milwaukee avenue about two
weeks ago, didn't you?"
The man admitted that he had.
Sand that this was caused by some
enc driving a car while intoxicated %
Krasowski admitted that he knew
this also.
= 81 announced before that" continu-
ed the judge" that / would send ev-
cry man to Jail who was guilty of
driving a...cas. while intoxicated. This
is one of the most dangerous things
man can do. He does not care for
his own life or the lives of others. 1t is
worse for man to be driving after
he has had few drinks than, if he is
dead runk. If he is dead drunk he
cannot drive at all.
'sYou will pay a fine Of $75 and
costs or serve 40 days in the common

OPTIMISTIC NOTE ON
FARM CONDITIONS
cad of the Farm Bureau Sees Future
for Farmers is More
Encouraging.

Milwaukee, Wis. An optimistic
note in American farming operation
was sounded here by j. R. Howard,
former president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation speaking to dairy
farmers at the national dairy show,
when the speaker declared that for the
first time in several years the farm
outlook is very encouraging.
Mr.. Howard said the situation was
accountable principally to the fact that
under-production Of grain here and
abroad this year will give the consump-
ton an opportunity to catch up on
production and surplus, this indicating
at least several years of farm pros
perity.
For four years, Mr.. Howard said,
there has been over-production of farm
products, an aftermath of the war.
This, he asserted caused reduced buy
ing ability. This year, however, near
ly every wheat raising country of the
world is short in crop. He estimated the
world production this year at 300,-
100000 bushels less than a year ago.
The export demand is normally $780,
100000 bushels, he added.
+ Secretary of Commerce H. Hoov-
er arrived shortly after noon from
Washington and was scheduled to adj
dress dairymen late this afternoon.
While judging was being carried on
in various parts of the exposition
grounds today, meeting was being
held 2by members of the Mississippi
delegation, headed by Governor Henry
L. Whitefeld, with Wisconsin state of
fcials for the purpose of effecting a
system of dairy reciprocity whereby
Wisconsin is to aid Mississippi in
colonizing and supplying dairy cattle
to portions Of the black prairie belt of
the last named state, calculated to
change that district from cotton pro-
ducing area to dairy country.
The result of the meeting is being
eagerly awaited by governors and dele
cations from other southern states.

CARAVAN is OFF
ON DAYS TRIP
Kenosha Boosters Armed to
the Teeth With Adver-
Using Propaganda.
OUT FOR A GOOD TIME

Loaded down with enough bags of
advertising pamphlets, samples, and
every known kind of noise-maker to
make a desert caravan look like an
advance party for a circus, members
of the Kenosha Retailers association
are out in the county today boosting
Kenosha. Thirty carloads of men and
luggage and a bus-full of Since band
music left Kenosha at nine o'clock
this morning to show the folks out in
the county that they can buy every
thing they need right here in Kenosha
at prices that will make postage
stamp and a letter to Chicago look
like a wildcat investment The Boost
er trip is an annual affair and this
years visit already promises to be
the biggest and best since the trips
were started under the auspices of
the Kenosha Retailers association.
In spite of the brisk air the caravan
was welcomed all along the line of
their itinerary by almost the entire
populations of the various towns Wis
tied. Stops were made in many Of
the larger towns of from ten to TWEEN
ty minutes in each, and here the bust
ness men were given dH opportunity
to get out of their autos and stretch
and shout and boost and make them
selves happy generally.
By the time that noon came around
each one of the men who went along
wished that they had made reserva-
tions for two instead of for one at
Wilmot where dinner was served. Two
hours was taken off the days schedule
for lunch and the party then went on
to Bassetts and Twin Lakes.
1t is planned to make the last stop
on the trip at Somers finishing the
days campaign at six o'clock this
evening, in time for the men to come
back to Kenosha to their own hearths
to tell the folks here what real in
SEPARATION it is to get out into the
county and meet the folks out there
once in a while.
The value of such a trip has long
been recognized as one of the biggest
ways Of cementing a firm relationship
between the city merchants and the
county consumers. The affair is made
one of the outstanding ones in the cal
endar of the Retailers association
each year, ranking only next to Dollar
Day as a red-letter day.

Guinea Quite Valuable
Fowl to Have on Farm

So far, guineas occupy back place
In the poultry industry. Yet they are
q valuable fowl
When they are known they will come
into their own with honor.
They are among the very best "bug
rustlers" we have, living almost en-
tirely on insects, doing very little dam
age to growing crops.
AS for eating purposes, the guineas
are claimed by some people to sur
pass the chicken in flavor and Juici-
ness. Although having dark flesh, the
young fowls are tender. The meat of
the grown fowls is not as dry, when
baked, as that of chicken or turkey.
The guinea hens are always known
by their plaintive "potrack, potraek,
potrack," while the rooster, when dis.
turbed by a hawk or strange dog, lets
forth such a shrill chatter that 1t puts
ones nerves on edge.
Guineas begin laying the first Of
May and lay all through the summer,
the eggs selling on the market for as
much as hen eggs.

Green Feed for Layers
Needed During Winter

Green feed for hens in the winter
will make them lay better, besides be-
ing one of the cheapest foods for the
poultryman to use.
II possible, get some mangel beets.
Cut them into pieces and put on a
stick which is driven in the ground, or
set up ON the floor OF the poultry
house. This will give the chickens a
chance to pick of the beet One or
two mangels, depending on the size,
should be allowed every 20 birds. Man
gels can be stored easily, so that they
win keep throughout the entire winter.
Sprouted oats also supply green food
which is very satisfactory. The one
thing to remember is not to let the oats
sprout too long. Best results have
been found with young sprouts that
are green and tender. Care must be
taken not to let it become moldy, as
this poisons chickens. If mold per
sists 1t can be overcome by sprinkling
with the sprouting water ten drops of
formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is not
injurious to the chickens in this guam
tity.
Soaked oats win help out If the
trouble Of sprouting is too great. Al
falfa leaves which have been dried and
then covered with boiling water to
green" them. are also good and palat-
able.
The use of these succulent feeds will
increase the egg production and will
reduce the feeding costs.

Sour Skim Milk Given as
Cause of High Production

Some time ago the Missouri College
OF Agriculture through the depart
ment of poultry husbandry started an
experiment to determine the cause OF
the high production secured from lay
ing hens that were given an album
dance of sour skim milk. A study of
the analysis of sour skim milk showed
It to contain 90.77 per cent water, O.1O
per cent fat, 3.93 per cent milk sugar
(lactose). O.56 per cent Tactic acid, 8.65
per cent protein and 0.79 per cent
milk ash or salts. It was assumed
that water alone was not the stimulat-
ing factor. The fat content seemed
too low, and the distribution of
carbohydrates did not point to milk
sugar as a possible source of the
problem. A comparison was made of
ratiOns containing Tactic acid, milk
salts, protein-free sour skim milk
and sour skim milk. The results
showed conclusively that that Tactic
acid In the same solution as in sour
skim milk is valueless for egg pro-
duction. Besides both milk salts and
ash entirely failed to stimulate in
creased egg production. The results
all seem to indicate that 1t is the pro-
teins or milk curd that is the valuable
part Of sour skim milk. For two
years the protein-free sour skim milk
has not given as satisfactory produc-
ton as the sour skim milk.
