his Persian fisherman to the coast

NEVER WE'D PRETTY
WOMAN, MAN SAYS
AS DEATH NEARS

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-"Never marry a
pretty woman and never fall in love
with your wife," That is not a bright
line from the latest musical comedy.
Those words formed the dramatic eli
max at a murder trial and formed the
basis for the main argument of the
public prosecutor for demanding that
young and pretty woman be sent to
the gallows.
The trial was that Of Mitzi Lem
per, at Budapest. Her husband, for
merly a dashing Hungarian army Of
ficer, has already been sentenced TO
death by court-martial for numbering
and robbing a rich Budapest manufac-
turer. He uttered the above warning
to a friend after being sentenced.
The prosecutor took the words as
the main basis of his accusation that
the slayer's wife instigated the murder
and drove her husband to it.

important fact that should not be
overlooked is that at the Junior Col

facts about a crop that has never Suf-

And speaking of crops, few people

on in the sea instead of on land.
The government has well organized
force under experienced men that
plant oyster beds throughout the en-

EXPECT STRANGE TALES.
In certain districts the oyster is
scooped up in large dredges and then
taken to the beds where they are
shoveled overheard and planted. Also
oysters under certain size have to
be "weeded out" and thrown back
while in the fields" They then have
an opportunity for further develop
