A JUST CONVICTION.
TIIK conviction of J. 8. Trent, McMiiinvillu fui'nier, for niiiii
sliiUKlitur, should liuve H salutary effect upon those residents
of the. slate who are disposed to shoot first and think afterward.
Mr. Tri-nt, it will be remembered, shot and killed u certain
G'cotkc Ilaniblin one iiifjht last summer, while the latter was trying
to fix his headlights on the highway near Trent's melon pnteh.
Sir. Trait was very sorry. He thought his "gun was loaded with
wheat instead of buckshot, he thought Ilaniblin was trying to steal
his watermelons instead of trying to fix his headlights, he thought
n K''eat many other things no doubt, among them, that to take a
chance of killing an .innocent bystander is not so serious as to take
a chance of losing a watermelon or two.
Now he will have an opportunity to ponder over his philosophy
pud (letermiiiM its delects at his leisure.
The purpose of law is the protection of society. Premeditated
murder, of course is the more serious offense, yid the law so pro
vides; but when the destruction of, life is considered, the. type of,
criminal carelessness of which the icMiuiivil!o tragedy furnishes an
example, represents a menace of almost equal danger.
One may feel a certain sympathy for Farmer Trent in his misfor
tune, without qualifying in the slightest degree, the . conviction
that it is deserved, and Will furnish tho slate uud the country with
a much-needed example. . ,
A HIGH HONOR FOR JACKSON CO.
NOT ONLY Ashland, but Medford and the entire county can be
justly proud of Miss Joy, of the former place, who has been
nwarded the Montgomery-Ward prize as the best all arotind farm
club girl in the state of Oregon. .
There is lio "more practical and useful work than that of the
1-nys and girls farm clubs. t Distinction in this line of endeavor
means intelligent understanding of basic agricultural problems,
conscientious application, and above all hard work.
We hear a great deal nowadays- of the demoralization of the
younger generation, and the overwhelming passion for excitement
and jazz. Miss Joy and her young associates in Jaekson county, can
provide an effective refutation, to the justice of this charge, as far.
as Jackson county is concerned. . .

should lead the deuce of hearts. lie nnd
his partner have all three suits so why
not lead trumps and thus prevent a
possible trump by dummy. It is also a
hand where the trump lead cannot hurt
partner for the bidding and A's trump
holding makes it certain that B cannot
hold any trump strength, ror those
reasons it Is a hand in which the trump
lead is Ideal. With the trump opening,
the three heart bid would have been de
feated by one trick. With any other
opening, the declarer would nave made
his contract; quite a difference. ;
Another hand has just been submitted

plays, Z must make three odd. If A
plays the ace of hearts, Z' king of
hearts will make. If A plays a club, Z
should play the ace of clubs in dummy,
take two rounds of trumps, winning the
second round in dummy with the queen.
He should then discard either two clubs
or two hearts on the ace queen of dia
monds. Played in this way, YZ will
only lose one spade trick and three
heart tricks at most. It is an interesting
hand and very instructive because it is
a type that comes up so frequently.
With this kind of hand, don't lead the
queen of spades toward the king. There
is nothing to gain and if the king is on
your left as in this hand, you will lose a
trick. Play it out in that way and see
what happens.

B:
the deuce of diamonds, and one lead of,
'clubs through B's hand makes all of
Z's clubs good. At trick four, therefore,
B must discard the five of diamonds.
B should then discard the ten of clubs.
Y should now lead the four of clubs
and Z should win with queen. Z should
now lead the ace of diamonds and fol
low with the queen, which A is forced
to win. YZ must now win the ten of
diamonds and the arc of clubs. It is a
pretty little problem in forcing dis
cards. v
