The jury was composed of eight men and four women. It was a hard day for Dormle with Mrs. Marjorie Ingals, the owner of the late Sunbeam, positively Identifying him as the iiend who slipped under the hedge, fence. She testified he came Into her back yard and seized Sunbeam by the back of her sleek fat neck. After several vigorous shakes the cat was no more. The identification was complete after Mrs. Ingals passed up a Kussinn wolfhound, a spaniel ami a giant mastiff as susptTtS. James Ilrennari. counsel for Dormio, Intimated that Sunbeam might have left the premises, and come across Porniie's patn and nave aroused his antagonism.

Lassen Peak Is Smoking and Steaming

Presumably there will be another trial. Anyway, the case of Dormle, accused of catslaughter, has drawn almost as much attention in San Francisco as did the trial of "Fatty Arbucklo. Among the latest denials and comments attributed to Donnie are these : That the feline population Is exceedingly catty. That he can produce an Angora friend of bis who will testify she lias raced with him many times and that he cannot run fast enough to catch a cat. That he Is being persecuted by the sausage trust. That there is a conspiracy against him on account of his wealth and that if he were a poor dog the humane societv would intervene. er of the parties making application for license is a resident of the town. Connecticut was a happy haven for Merritt Lane, once vice chancellor of New Jersey. It enabled him to be married to two women at the same time, legally, without the stigma of bigamy or the punishment usually attending tliat plurally wedded condition. Herbert Andrews of New York went to Connecticut, too. when Mrs. Maud Andrews, wife No. 1. got on his nerves and he decided to marry pretty young Esther Tatnall of Pittsburgh. Andrews, in this fashion, brought a second wife home to live with No. 1. Shubel K. Si vor. church treasurer of New Itrunswlck, N. J., followed suit.

RURAL . BUILDING AIDS COmUlTY Many Advantages Are Outlined in Financing Proposition by Popular Subscription.

STUDY MADE BY SPECIALISTS Ry Far the Greatest Number of Structures Are Erected Throughthe United Effort of People Most Interested. (Freparei by the United JtatM Department of Agriculture.) To assist rural organizations in working out ways of financing and maintaining community hulldings, tlio United States Department of Agriculture lia just iullislad Fanners' bulletin llirj. Tlie Organization of- Kural Community Jtulldyiss. This i the tliird of a series of bulletins on rural community buildings, based on an intimate study made by specialists of tbe department of more than UV such buildings in nil parts of the country. The first. Department Ilullctin S-.'. Ilural Community Buildings in the United States, gives a history of the movement, treats of some of the gen4 Public Reading Room, Holden (Mass.)

Farmers' Bulletin 1173, Plans of IUirnl Community Buildings, gives the floor plans of 21 buildings of the better class, illustrating various types. Methods of Financing. , It is pointed out in this third bulletin that though community buildings are finatK-fd in a number of ways, as Individual donations, local industry, well-established social or fraternal organizations by far the greatest number are erected through the united effort of interested ioiIe and various organizations of the community. When the latter plan is employed the necessary money is obtained either by volnotary contributions or by the sale of stock. Subscriptions are paid in the form of money, labor or materials. Financing a building by general voluntary contributions is suggested as perhaps the simplest, quickest and most ein Me way, while Incorporated stock associations furnish more of the dements of fmaneial permanency. The community method of financing has a number of advantages: (1) People are devoted to that to which they voluntarily subscribe; this method develops community co-operation, promotes union, and decreases antagonisms through the necessity of different organizations and factions working together in a financial campaign; (") as the money i voluntarily given from private funds, the people are enabled to make exjeriments in the building which they would hesitate to make with public funds or those of an individual or club; (4) those who pay, control. Only a high type of citizenship subscribes to an institution of this kind and thus public spirit at its best Is in control. Community Buildings. In recent years there has been a growing movement in the erection of community buildings by the municipality through taxation. This method also ha its distinct advantages. Maintenance expenses of community buihlinus are met by dues. fees, rentals and receipts from entertainments, prolits and concessions. Some of the best organizations maintain their buildings entirely by annual dues. In the case of building financed by an individual or by an Industrial concern, a community association Is generally formed which guarantees the maintenance of the building gis a condition of the donation. Most community associations which finance their buildings by Issuing stock, incorporate under the state laws in order that they may have a more effective instrument for buying". selling and holding property. To mittle Mich association, copies of articles if incorporation, constitutions ami by-laws now in use by a number f well-established organizations are included in the bulletin. State laws relating to municipalities and counties erecting buildings are also given. Copies of th- bulletin can be obtained free n application to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C

PROMPTNESS ADVISED IN SHIPPING HIDES

Advice Is Particularly Applicable to Sheepskins. Sll Direct to Tanners, Thus Eliminating Middleman or Agents Repeated Handling Tendf to Reduce Quality. AfttT country hides and skins have been properly and securely bundled and tagged ship them to market without delay, advises the United States Department of Agriculture. Do not let the bundle remain in the sun. drafts or water, or against rusty or corroding metals. Promptness in shipping and delivery is always advisable, but applies particularly to sheepskins. They beat rapidly after being bundled, and in hot weather especially must reach their destination quickly. Hides and skins shouJd be shipped as directly as Is practicable and economical to reliable dealer who sell direct to tanners, thus eliminating unnecessary middlemen or agents. Itepetitcd handling tends to reduce the quality of hides and skins. Vor most farmers, ranchers and small butchers It would be desirable It" they could dispose of their hides and skins immediately after removal, without salting and curing them, but this is generally Impracticable, since only a few are near enough to tanneries or dealers equipped to handle their products. t Whenever thus favorably situated, producers find it both profitable and practicable to ell the hides and skins in the green, unsalted condition. In no case, however, should this methoil be considered unless the producer is certain that the green hides and skinswill be delivered promptly. As a rule, 124 hours after skinning is the maximum time advisable. BENDS IN SEPARATOR BRUSH Straight Handle is Inconvenient and Requires Much Twisting of the Wrist. The wire bristle brush which Is used to clean certain parts of the average cream separator is .straight and to do a thorough job requires lots oT bending of the wrist.

BIG INCREASE FROM SHEEP Yields of lambs and wool depend largely upon the breed of sheep selected. With ewes of any one of the medium-sized mutton breeds, the United States Department of Agriculture points out that nr per cent of lambs can be raised, and 1ÖO per cent is not Infrequently reached. The wool clip varies from seven to eleven pounds per ewe. The larger mutton breeds yield more, as do also the fine wools, but the value per pound of the latter has in normal times been less nn account of the greater proportion of grease. In comparison with cattle and swine, sheep can bo made to yield practically thesame net returns on the vaiue of tb land, if well cared for, and if kept on 'lands reasonably well adapted for sheep raising. BUY FARM THAT IS EQUIPPED Gives Newcomer Chance to Work Out Changes and Assures Self-Sustaining Business. Often It is a distinct advantage when buying a farm to purchase the equipment, live stock and materials already on the place. In this way, the United States Department of Agriculture points out, an income is obtained almot from the outset, which usually makes possible the operation of the farm without a los, and thus gives the newcomer a chance to work out changes and plans and at the same time have a elf-sustaining farm business. If only the bare farm is purchased it usually takes some time to supply all the equipment and live tock and put th;- ivlaco on a paying basi. In the meantime overhead costs and other expenses amount to a large item. Hence the advantage that so often 1 gained in buying a farm that U a going concern.
