""admitted the theft of 47."i,00O francs from the Ameiican Express !0 company resembles closely the peculiar reaction of some Ameri can juries to spphistical reasoning. The incident is of moment le- ."cause it illustnites a gTOwing stale of mind. The young, fellow staled that he had spent the money in furnishing an apartment , fjjr his sweetheart and in haying a good time. . . Under the admission it might appear that fixing the punish ment would he the next step, since the jury could not avoid bring ing. in a verdict of guilty. l!ut the counsel I'oi' the accused de scribed the American express as an enoi inoiisly rich concern which had made millions in exchange and had too much money anyhow. ' The argument must have seemed well-founded to the jury, since it promptly returned a verdict of not guilty, though it rectim-,' mended that the young man should refund the money when able. J The recommendation is grossly inconsistent with the verdict j of acquittal. Since he 'committed no crime In tuning the money, if the jury's position is correct, he was entitled to il; if entitledJl to it there is no-good reason why he should refund. This niny jj bo regarded as French reasoning but il does not differ in falsity I fioni the conclusions reached often by juries in America . Thoi! lawyer in appealing to tin? prejudice against a corporation niayj! have estimated the mentality of the jurors and knew that such ! a plea would be effective, yet it was a method that none but a shyster would adopt.

Some Livestock on Every Farm Specialized grain and hay farming without live stock to consume the. surplus is like raising livestock without growing any of the feeds which will reduce the cost of producing the animals. Either way puts the scale of profits out of balance and leaves the farmer to face the possibilities of loss on maybe his one and only class of production. Similarly, milk products are more profitable than producing cattle for slaughter, for it is said the out put of dairy products in one year is greater in dol lars and cents that the total slaughtered worth of all the cattle in the country: We ore pnrtirulniiy Interest. i here .-.( the I.n firan-lo Nntlonnl Hank In the lievi-lot'nu-nt of pfininnent and rnnlinuoim uirrii'iillurnl pros perity, and uie iilwiiyit plad to li-nil a.s.si.slanee In providing tin- rifjlit kind .and rlRht quality of livestock for the r.-irni"iH of this locality.
