TRYING LILLIENDAHL
CASE BEFORE MILLION
HEADED JURY

Continued From Page One)
County lays down an excellent rule
of conduct: I'VE do not believe in
making known to the public the
nature of the clues discovered by
our operatives. They are for the
scrutiny of the jury alone. No pos
sible good can be obtained by max
ing known to the public these
facts"
But the Chief Prosecutor of At
lantlc County announces that the
diary of the murdered man has
been found and that it will count
"heavily" in the States case.
Whereupon the attorney for the de-
Tense makes light" of the incident,
and argues that one of the accused
had ample opportunity to destroy
the diary if the document contained
ANYTHING really discriminating.
Except for the fact that witness
90 and Jury are not under OATH
this is the trial already under way.
Vet when it comes to the selection
of the official jury lawyers on both
sides will be astonished and hurt
TO find that talesmen have read
about the case and formed an opin-
ion.
Trial in the newspapers used 10
mean the creation of public sentl-
ment when a case was already IN
court. 1t now means preliminary
trial with indictment, testimony,
eross-examination. Formerly 1t was
the public's impression that a pros
ecuting officer with a damaging Dit
of evidence in his possession. a
lawyer for the defense with a Dig
card up his sleeve, would do just
that-keep the winning cards up
their sleeves.
Now all is open and aboveboard.
That would be commendable If the
result were not an official jury
which has done more than read
about the case. 1t has already been
compelled to listen to arguments
pro and con. And sometimes the
impression is irresistible that the
motive is not prosecution and de-
Tense, but an itch for publicity,

1. J. STRAWBERRY
is NAMED Indy

New Variety Perfected by Bridgeton
Grower After 7-Year Effort
Bridgeton has a new strawberry.
Its Lindbergh strawberry which
has been perfected by w. H.
Hustled, South avenue, after seven
years of effort.
1t promises to be strong riva!
to the famous Lupton berry which
is known in all of the eastern
markets.
The new strawberry is named
after Lindbergh and was introduced
to the New York trade when
Indy" arrived home from Europe.
The berry is about the size and
contour of the Lupton, but it has
a red center and possesses tart
sweetness which makes it more
desirable for table use.
Many of the we'll known plants
were utilized and intelligently inter-
mixed and their progeny afforded
similar intermixtures until the
present berry arrived.

April or May.-Dr. M. A. JUL U. 8.
Department of Agriculture.
The largest crop yields are pos

the use of manure or fertilizers
are practiced together Crop rota-
ton increases the returns from
farm manure and fertilizers; and
manure, fertilizers, and lime in
crease the returns from rotation.
Immediately after the COW calves,
give her a warm mash made by
pouring hot water over either bran
alone or bran and ground oats. A
little old-process oil meal in the
mash is thought by some to improve
it. Large quantities of the oil meals,
corn meal, middlings, or similar
heavy feeds. Give her warm water
to drink. If she calves in the sum-
mer time there is probably no al
vantage in warming either her feed
or water.
Turkey Time
To fatten turkeys for the market,
begin about the first of November.
Feed just enough at time so the
birds will go away a little hungry,
gradually increasing the quantity
until they are given all they will
clean up three times day during
the week before marketing. 1t is a
good plan to feed equal parts OF
wheat and oats during the frs:
part of the fattening season,
gradually changing to corn as the
weather becomes cooler. Old corn
is much better for turkeys than
new corn, but it must be- free from
mustiness. Heavy feeding of new
corn often results in scours.

SICK GIFTS
ConvenienCes for III Friends
Better Than Flowers, Fruit.

Everybody sends sick folks flowers
or fruit. Why not be different? For
flowers fade quickly in hospital at
mosphere. And fruit often cannot
be eaten. Try other gifts that may
be more acceptable and bring
greater pleasure.
First of all, there is the daily, in
teresting. picture post card that may
be mailed the patient. Their arrival
will break the day and they will be
much pleasanter than a long letter
of copdolence.
II visiting, take bottle OF
cologne. 1t soothes a fevered head
and brings relief from the heart of
the pillow. Or take a small baby's
pillow that will fit into the small of
the back or under the side and make
for comfort.
Water Glass Welcome
Conveniences that bring a note Of
color while they serve should receive
consideration. These include a col
ored glass for water, with a pretty
painted saucer and matching cover;
bright colored handkerchiefs that
show up easily when lost amid white
sheets; inexpensive, colored vases; a
gayly decorated tin bowl for fruit;
package containing a cake of OK
quisite toilet soap or an orange,
green or red wash rag.
When the patient is better there is
the little bookmark-a grotesque fig
ured one that will amuse; an mex
pensive writing case with notepaper,
or Adozen postcards, stamped.
Gifts for Women
For women there are innumerable
pretties. A bed jacket. a bright wrist
band to hold the handkerchief; a COW
erlet or shoulder throw of knitted,
warm wool; mules and kimonos, any
favorite toilet article.
Bedside clocks, easy chairs, pretty
lamps, pictures that rest the eyes
and hundreds of other luXuries are
acceptable to the convalescent. But
lack of funds needs not keep the
willing friend from delighting the
sick For with little thought and
very little money. quantities of at
tractive and welcome articles can be
found.
