The State of New York had
an attack of the filters the other
day. This well-known state un-
dertook to try for burglary a
middle-aged man whose real
name is Laverne Moore. The
court was in Elizabethtown, Es-
sex county.
Fearful, it seems, lest the de-
fendant escape with too mild a
conviction, or with none at all,
the State made a point Of includ-
ing no women in the jury. In
stead. Moore's fate was en-
trusted to IL husky males, sup
posedly proof against any glam-
orous appeal possessed by the
prisoner.
AS everybody knows by this
time, Moore, under the name Of
John Montague, was once an ex-
pert golfer. Because of this fact,
they called him to Hollywood
for a while, where he achieved
q certain notoriety. Handsome?
That's a matter Of opinion. Well
dressed? Wen assume that's
the case.
BOTH EXAGGERATED
My own belief is that the State
Of New York exaggerated both
the fascination Of the man it
wished to convict, and the suS-
ceptibility of women.
Oh, we're susceptible enough,
heaven knows! It isn't only that
we have tremendous wells Of
tenderness where the men we
fall in love with are concerned,
the men we marry, the sons we
bear. But we're soft and easy in
regard to many casual male.
We admit it.
LOOKS AN ASSET
It is firmly believed by many
that a woman who is suf-
ficiently good-looking could not
be convicted by a male jury on
any charge whatever. And we
seem to have heard that all
lawyers have to learn the art
of advising their women clients
as to courtroom dress; and de-
portment-always with the SuS-
capabilities Of a male jury in
view!
On the point Of mems soft
ness Of heart, we women have
no complaint to register. We
adore it in them. At one time
and another, we've all prcfited
by it. And we note with salts
faction that it's a trait that in
creases in them, the older they
grow. I. suspect that women
can't begin to measure up with
them for impressionabiilty.
So that when New YORK
State is afraid to admit women

fendant is a man, we feel that
somehow it must be due to

Yule Cards
Designed in
Big Variety

ll6 IClAS4OuS LAOGC 40 PAO
nounced in the 1887 Christmas
cards which extend their sea-
sonal message this year in a
spirit of sincere friendliness
and appreciation of the deeper
meaning of the day. Even in
the informal designs. there is
evident the feeling of goodwill
toward men," and an increasing
number of cards are of definitely
religious inspiration.
Many of the more formal cards
are adapted to the growing GUS
tom of making the Christmas
card a gift in itself, and are
obviously intended for later
framing. Among them are etch-
ings and engravings of famous
churches and cathedralS of Eu-
rope, done By masters of the
craft; traditional reproductions
of old prints, paintings and sculp-
lures, such as Fra Angelico's Ma
tivity" and the Limoges enamel
plaque Angel new group OF
etchingS depicting the missions
of the Southwest, and designs
lettered in the manner of the
medieval parchmentS, wit h
their exquisitely illuminated col
orings. Other of these gift cards
show actual photographs of
views from the Holy Land.
RICH COLORS
Less formal cards show re.
ligious motifs in delicate color
treatments and in designs which
make effective use of the seasons
color preference for rich, warm
blues with silver. A Madonna
and Child group. for example, is
done on a blue card some six
inches square in soft silver sill
houette on a center panel of
lighter blue, accented richly by
a framing of blue metal foil.
The faces of the group are in
gold repousse. giving richly
sculptured effect. On other
cards, the Three Wise Men and
the Christmas Star are variously
rendered, and vistas of the Holy
Land.
HUMOROUS VEIN
Among the seasons new re-
ligious designs, too, are a num-
ber of lighter mood, which draw
upon Christmas church services
as their motif. One such card,
for example, shows procession
of churchgoers in the garb of
crinoline days while in the back
ground, done in soft tones Of
blue, is a stately Gothic church.
Another, in the manner of con.
temporary art. silhouettes Trim

The Herald Angels and the
Child and the LAMB inspire a
number of cards, many of them
designed to appeal especially to
the young child. There is. for
instance, a booklet in white
dotted all over with silver stars
showing the Child and the
Lamb in a charming pose,
sketched with the effect of a
casual line-drawing from life

and cattle cal probably be run ON
the same range, says N. A. Jacob
sen, extension agent for Custer
and Powder River counties. As an
example he cites the system used
on the SH ranch in Custer county:
Kenneth Mclean is manager OF the
ranch and he has saved his range
for cattle by open herding and bedding
out the sheep, according to Jacobsen.
The $4,000 acre ranch is erased chiefly
with blue joint and western wheat
grass. There is also considerable gram
ms. grass, early bluegrass and some
sagebrush. At present the ranch has
only sheep, although as a rule cattle
are generally run
In operating this ranch, Jacobse eX-
plains that early this summer $500
head of sheep, including 1000 lambs,
were thrown into one band. They were
then drifted about the range in open
formation. The camp was moved WIN
the. sheep so that no n camp ground
or watering place was used twice IN
succession. The sheep were moved often
enough so hat they grazed no longer
than a week on any portion OF the
range.
In checking the range in late summer
after the grasses had matured, Jacob.
sen said that it was hardly possible"
to see where the sheep had grazed
previously during the season. The sheep
seemed to have eaten the leaves of
the gramma grass and other s%ucculent
fine-leafed forages in preference to the
wheatgrass. The seed was left on the
stalk of all varieties.
Grasses that showed no signs of graz
ing were bluejoint On the bench and
bottom lands, and bunchgraSS on the
sleeper slopes. Normally grazed by
cattle. these grasses showed a dense
growth from six to 10 inches high.
although there were no cattle grazed
on this range following the sheep.
there seemed to be an abundance of
feed sufficient to carry the number Of
cattle the range should normally sup
port" Jacobsen said.
Commenting on the possibilities,
Jacobsen says the SH ranch experience
indicates there is some possibility OF
running sheep and cattle advantageous
" on ranches with large holdings. The
experience shows that running both
classes of livestock would bring greater
utilization of the range without dam
age.
He adds that the lambs, all of Ram
bouillet breeding, averaged more than
70 pounds when delivered last fall.

man of their own choosing. And they'd
clean up.
The businessmen imported a runner
record. Grinrod thoroughly respected
him-wasnt keen on racing him. Grim
rods manager, a smart man, moved
into the picture. There was a vacant
lot used for workouts. Stakes marked
the start post and the %100-yard, or
finish line.
The runner from the middle west.

So the runner lined up, took his
crouch and waited for the gun. And
he covered the distance is a little more
than II seconds. His hackers were dis
appointed. The runner was called to
the starting line. His second run was
in about the same time.
The businessmen went into a huddle.
They decided to give their man an
other trial. They also agreed to ask
the athlete certain questions. They
hadn't told him what time he made.
How do you feel?' was n question.
Great" replied the runner. This
rarified atmosphere is ideal for run.

of the businessmen. do you feel that

"Any time you say" was the re-
spouse by the cleated shoe wearer.
And the man from the middle west
ran once more.
The time was about the same, a
shade over II seconds.
And the businessmen were disap-
pointed. That night the middle west
athlete returned to his home. His
hackers agreed that he lacked the
speed necessary to beat a runner Of the
caliber of Dan Grinrod. .
What they didn't know was that
Grinrod's manager had laid out the
stakes. And the distance from the
starting stake to the finish line was
10 yards-not 100.
