Thl was the second to be erected in Polk county, the first one having been built only a ohort timer before in Independ nec. The concern is owned by farm era and dairymen today and has twice paid substantial dividends. Not long after the meeting for a creamery was held, the fruitgrowers met and formed tho Monmouth Kvanor atlngand Cannlnjr company with J..H. Hawley as president. A cannerv ahd drier were immediately built ahif'the growing or an Kinds or fruit was en couraged. Many acres were set out to various kinds of fruit trees, and the cannery had a full run the first year, Eoch year since the drier was erected. large quantity of prunes has been nanaicd. Both plants of the company are operated by Monmouth capital. Considerable wealth has come to this district as a result of extensive grain raising by the farmers. In addition to the regular grain crops, hundreds of ores have been planted to clover dur ing tho past two years, This crop gives excellent pasture to sheep, produces one good hay crop each year, -and a val , uablo seed crop yearly in September, (several varlotles of barley were se cured from the government and tried ' out this year. The greater number proved ruccessfui. Two larae ware houa.es are now in Monmouth to care for the larpe grain crops. One, four storleshigh, was built by G. H.

"To tell you the honest truth," she said, "I never realized that I was do ing anything unusual until people be gan to call me up yesterday afternoon and today, and I saw something about it In the papers. "The evidence all pointed to the man's guilt, but it was he himself who convinced me of it. I was sure of my opinion, and it didn't seem right for me to give up and say ,he was not guilty. I didn't try to change anybody else's opinion, I Just kept my own. "I believe the other two women who changed thtr votes did so because they were beaten in the arguments. rather than because they actually had changed their minds. I didn't argue. borrowed a pair of knitting needles from one of the jurors and I sat there and knit most of the time. Twice dur ing the night I put my bag under by head and my raincoat over me and lay down on the floor "-and actually did ST5BP a little in the midst of all that confusion."
