He uiged that a bet ter understanding of public af-faiis is needed, that a greater vote may be got out. Club meetings, he said, should be forums of educational matters and he urged K.1-wanlans not only to vote themselves hut to get others to study national and local problems and votes as their conscience dictated. Pioneer Service Club Kiwanls is a pioneer among! service clubs in promoting a bet ter understanding between city ana country men.

Parker said. The country cannot afford to have a cleavage between the two groups, he assorted. Mr. Parker urged all clubs to enlist the interest of their members In providing vocational guidance and placement to young men and women. This means only an Investment of the potentialities of the young people he said, urging the Kiwanlnns to "get close to the young people, and talk over the matter with them." i "Don't attempt to Impose a decision on them," he said, "but give of your experience and knowledge." In the promotion of higher business standards, Parker said, there Is still much more wor kto be done.

It might be a good Idea for the clubs to have occasional executive sessions, he said, and talk over some local "practical matters" having to do with departures from good busineas ethics. He told of a couple of examples of d'shonest practise that had come to his attention In other cities and praised John D. Rockefeller Jr. and the. United States Chamber of Commerce for denouncing the Teapot Dome, F.Ik Hills and o-er oil scandal.

D. start when Steadman reminded Darch and the court it was within his right to have Darch subpoena any and all witnesses having knowledge of the affair.

Darch admitted he could not object to such procedure, and so began whit promises to be a several-days examination which will give Darch some real work before ha quits his office this Fall. Fight for Gun Darch called the first witnefs. Dr. Stanley R. Hare of Batavia, who attended Burke before his death at St.

Jerome's Hospital a werk ago tonight and later collaborated in an autopsy with Coroner Edward N. Morgan of Batavia The gist of Hare's testimony was that Burke apparently had been drinking before he had been sho and that the bullet which resulted In Burke's death from hemorrhages and shock had been travel ing downward when it struck. Trooper James P. Fisher, one of the trio who captured Schaefer when summoned from barracks fty Miss Newman, was the second wit ness. He said Schaefer told the troopers "Burke was the one he shot after the hold-up." Argument between Darch and Steadman over the right of the troopers to refuse aid when Schaefer declined to give his name was ended when Clapnail-dle sustained an objection from Darch.

ITndershpriff Edward C. Herhold was the final witness of the morning session. He told nothing of new Interest beyond the fact Schaefer had claimed he first pointed the gun at Burko and ordered him to stop and that. Burke grabbed the gun from him before Schaefer got it back and shot, at Burke. Stead-man's cross-examination made it apparent Herhold had done little toward investigating Schaefer's character or previous history.

Well Suited for BAKNES advance, they are that much hotter off. But if the price of beef stig from Spring to Fall, the difference in weight may not overcome th drop in price, and the season's bef "crop" is then a finariclal loss instead of a profit.

and a mortgage on the property to secure the bond. This mortgage was drawn any time for payment mentioned in it; in other words, Mrs. Collins was not compelled within any given time to pay the bond. In April, 125, he gave her back the bond and a receipt for the $10,000 paid in full. But he did not have the mortgage which secured the bond discharged of record.

Agreement Mentioned Murrlage In suing the executors, the Central Trust Company and Frank X. Kelly, brother of tho decedent, to discharge the mortgage, Mrs. Collins alleges that It was based on an agreement which she and Kelly entered Into In Jan. 1026. By the terms of that agreement, she alleges, the executors were directed to pay Mrs.

Collins' debts, dis charge the mortgage, and pay her $25,000, "for her constant care and companionship," if she and Kelly were not married within six months after Kelly's daughter married. Jane Kelly, the daughter, waa married to Talmadge Woodward of Le Roy in July, 1927. Kelly died on Nov. 30, 1027. without having married Mrs.

Collins. A Mrs. Leah Rausch, who says she was present when the bond was given back, testified yesterday that Kelly said at. that, time t.rmt he did not want to discharge the mortgage because he did not wish the bank or his family to know about It, but that It would he all right when they were married; It would not matter then. Sentimental KensiuiH I.

Nick Gordon, former Roch- esler attorney. teHtilied that Kelly did not want the mortgage entered In the county clerk's office because of sentimental reasons. Gordon, who drew the mortgage, also sal.l It was without terms of payment or date of maturity. Five other witnesses testified that Kelly had told them the property belonged to Mrs. Collins and was "free and clear of debt." It la the contention of the executors that the arrangement which Kelly made with the widow waa not binding In law.

The theory of the Collins side of the case, represented by Attorney Ray F. Fowler, is that Kelly fully and of his own volition discharged the debt. Mrs. Collins through her attorney has already enjoined the executors from foreclosing on the mortgage, and has now brought this action to compel its discharge. Justice Thompson reserved decision.

While thia branch of agricultural pursuit is by no means a novelty in the valley of the Gene-sea it haa not been adopted in the scheme of diversification hy as many farmers as might profitably do so, according to Leo M. Allen of this village, who has had occasion to study some of the figures and to acquaint himself with some of the problems Involved In the project of fatting beef for the market.

Allen says that the grazing offered In this section Is superior to that which obtains on western ranges, and that western steera, as well as range cows and heifers, can be secured in the Chicago livestock market, shipped here under favorable freight rates something like the "mill en-translt" rates afforded grain shippers, and fatted for the market at a profit. Wadsworth Pioneer The late Congressman James W. Wadsworth was a pioneer in this section In this branch of agriculture. He knew cattle. He could go into the Chicago stock yards and select beef steers whlih were capable of putting on meat on Livingston County pastures, bring them to the valley for that purpose and then dlsposn of them favorably.

Formerly It was believed that the steer wag the only profitable venture, but recent experiment and experience demonstrates that range cows, wisely selected, can be brought here, their calves sold for veal, and then they can be fatted to bring a profit for their owners. The beef market this year, Allen says, has been unusually high Purchase of stock at Chicago has required a larger Investment capital than Is ordinarily the case. To offset this condition the selling market has been corresponding-good, and It Is believed that those Interested In local grazing are going to have a profitable year. Tha hazards In this activity ate present as in every pursuit which tha farmer or other business man follows. All of the cattle hrougn' here do not respond to feeding to tho same manner.

Soma fatten moro quickly than others. The sorting of herds atarted a few weeks ago, and the animals thtt were ready for the market wero selected and shipped. Another sorting follows In a short time, and so this process Is repeated until onlv tha "tag-ends' remain at the end of the grazing season when the herd must be cleaned up. The early shipments, other things being equal, will spell profit for the owner; and so with the next shlpme and tha next; but if the group of tag-ends is unusually larRecntt which have not responded readily to thj process of adding weight -they may be eold at a loss which wtli wipe out the season's profit. Farmers who have undertaken fatting, say that If they can buy cattle In Chicago at the.

beginning of the season, and sell th i In the Kali at the same price per pound, the gain in weight will mike the ventur profitable. If they cn ge th wstht profit and also pries KIWANIANS HERE IN UIH CONVENTION nue required for an addition elusion of the newspaper men, be-Ontario Beach Park.
