So many distilleries at Peoria, Illinois, were dumping waste products in adjacent rivers that 1t was necessary to put a ban on this stream pollution. And by doing this the authorities did the distilleries a good turn. Forced to get rid of the resi-. due some other way they experimented around until they found that 98 per cent of all waste could be converted to stock feeds for cattle. Prices range from $10 to as high as SAP per ton for this type of food, which Is just like money found to the distillers.

Selected Poem
NOVEMBER Della Adams Leitner fin the Christian Science Monitor)

Della Adams Leitner in the Christian
 Science Monitor) With boisterous laughter that his reign B here The cold north wind sweeps down with Btinging
 blasts
 And low to earth October's beauty casts. Bare bougfs in silhouette, A1 stark and Berc, Accentuate with gloom the landscape drear. The hibernating furry folk, whose lasts Are winter long now sink ln sleep that lasts Till warmth of spring calls verdure to appear. But at the hearttsidc there Is magic lure, closeness and c coziness that brings Home hearts in unison with faith that sings Of happiness and trust and love secure. Fitting that thankfulness should be expressed When chill November proves how we are blessed.

Honduras and Nicaragua have entered Q controversy over post. age stamp issued 3i years ago and which concerns the boundary line which divides the countries. The controversy dates back to 1908 when the king of Spain, acting aS arbiter, defined the imaginary line separating the two republics. Tho finding was accepted by Honduras, but Nicaragua did not agree. A postage stamp was then issued which appeared to make the de. clSion legal and acceptable to both countries.
 Only recently In protest against the stlcker, Honduran troops were being mohilised near the border and only when this action was taken, did Nicaragua seek for fur. ther mediation.

THE SHIFTING SEASONS tChrlStlan Science Monltor.)

A recent pronouncoinent by the secretary of the Royal Metoorologs ical Society in Britain accorded sci. entific recognition to the fact that the seasons are moving with the times, and that each of them iS making It's appearance c little later in tho year. This tendency of Nc. ture to break her dates D, to tho layman, most unexpected; for he imagined that, after having two or three times flung her bonnet over the windmill, or ct least her lcescap over the haunts of men she had really settled down to 6 steady routine. Gilbert, 1t was thought, had eflus fnerated oil her possible changes, when he wrote;
 Tho moon in her phases H found,
 The times and tho wind and the
 weather,
 The months in succession come
 round,
 And you don't find two Mons
 days together.
 Although thoro Is no prospect Of our happening on c covey Of Mons days, it now appears not improbable that we may find several suinfnery days together at the beginning Of November, which is c phenomenon nearly as extraordinary.
 It b perhaps tho poets who have most reason to complain that Na. ture has not kept faith with them, Future ages, unless they be well up in climatic history, will regard ehakespeare's daffodils that take the winds of March with beauty as pure freaks; and Brownings aspi- ration,
 Oh, to be in England
 Now that April's there, will become another of thcs3 ob- scurities fov which he Is famous. The average Englishman, however will not take the matter to3 much to heart: he k inclined b think that there have been times il the past when summer has been twelve months overdue

Deputy inter- Il revenue collectors

vending machines where violations

violations have been noted In Wa

The federal law requires that
packages of cigarettes shall be so
placed in vending machines that the
federal tax stamp is plainly visible
from the face of the apparatus. A
survey here has shown some ma
chimes showing the stamps and
some reversed and, therefore, not

The drive is also directed against

To County Jail.
For Six Months
Second Offender Given
Mandatory Sentence;
Drops Plan to Appeal

After a series of technical
ity claims which started in
the court of common pleas
court Tuesday afternoon,
William Knight, colored, of
this city was taken to New
Haven county jail this morn
ing to begin a sentence of six
months imposed by Judge
Miles F. McNiff, on a charge
of driving under the influ-
ence Of liquor.
Knight is a second offender and
the sentence was mandatory. Costs
of $42 ere included with the sem
tence.
Knight was arrested on this Sec
ond charge on Christmas eve fol-
lowing a collision on Cherry street.
When arraigned in city court he was
sentenced to six months in Jail but
appealed to the common pleas court.
but the court failed to recognize his
plea OF not guilty. His first convic-
ton on the similar charge was on
August "A, 1888.
Attorney A. Henry Weisman, VINO
represented the accused entered &
motion to quash the information
claiming prosecutor had failed TO
officially notify either him or llls
client of the fact that he would
accuse him as q second offender.
His plea for the man involved deep
consideration of several opinion.
of law in matters similar to this CASE.
Prosecutor Larkin argued 1t was not
necessary to so notify him. nor il
he had the court might possibly have
been prejudiced. Attorney Weisman
had indicated that he would appeal
the case to the supreme court, but
measures to that extent were
dropped today. The sentence was
passed yesterday but Judge McNiff

sandwich, with mustard, only to
again be told that the ice box
had been padlocked for the rest
of the night.
Rodgers then became allegedly
abusive and was asked to leave
but being Of the independent sort
preferred to remain and have his
say, so he turned to Mr.. Jones
and asked who, if anyone would
or could eject him from the prem
ises.
I'm that case, said Jones, II
guess that 1t will have to be me-"
and he proceeded to give Rodgers
the well known rush.
Rodgers then became more in
dignant, and snatched a sugar
bowl which he threw in the gen.
eral direction of Mr.. Jones strik-
ing him on the right side of the
cheek.
This was enough for Jones in
one evening so he picked up
chair and went to work on the
customer and after breaking the
chair, grabbed one of the legs and
continued his attack.
Rodgers looked bit damaged
in court this morning, his head
being bandaged in five places.
After getting through with him,
Jones said Rodgers walked out
on his own power.
Patrolman Barney O'Loughlin
at this point arrived on the scene
and arrested both participants.
The case was continued until
tomorrow morning so that the re-
manning members of the party
might be called in as witnesses.
