Arguments presented yesterday in the circuit court by Frank Payne, 18- year-old hold-up man with all the convincingness of a seasoned attorney failed to influence Presiding Judge Tazwell in allowing parole or stay of sentence on two indictments against the youth. He must serve ljlve years in the state penitentiary on each charge. Payne declined counsel, admitted his guilt frankly and proceeded to enumerate a history of crime that was in a class with vagabond ad ventures of the 10-cent-paper novel variety. In spite of his youth he has been convicted of larceny in Wyoming and assault in Colorado and has been con fined in a state training school in Washington. His latest depredations were three hold-ups in Portland. "What did you do it for?" asked Judge Tazwcll. "I was broke, couldn't find work, knew no one in town and couldn't beg money," the boy answered. "I had $2 In my pocket and a revolver." The boy said his father and mother died when he was two years old1, and his married half-sister adopted him. He couldn't get along with her hus band, whose ideas on religion failed to agree with his ideas of bringing up boys. After that the story was of runaways, fights and accidental "bor rowings of belongings." Payne was in the army during the war. "Readin' and Writin' and 'Rithmetic" It's wonderful to be a boy! Many of us would be boys again if we had the chance ! They sound their "g's" nowadays and they go more smartly clad. The twentieth-century boy is keeping right up with the times!

On account of the high exchange value of United States money in Italian lire, and the present low tar iff of one-half cent per pound, it is possible for Italians and Sicilians to sell their lemons in American mar kets below the cost of producing the California lemons. It is stated that the Italian grower who sells a box of lemons at $2 in New York has more than $6 when he has exchanged his money into Italian money. Growers here assert that a box of California lemona costs ap proximately $3 to produce, and upon adding the present freight rate of $1.45 per box to New York, the cost of their product in that city is about $1.45 per box.
