Up to the time of the arrest last night of Clarence Miles, the authori- ties had placed entire credence in his story of the murder. Suspect Hiring of Gunman. The author! plainly indicated | that they are running down a theory | that while Mr. Mills was murdered on account of a love affair and that the startling in the “confession” , it is entirely pos- sible that the injured husband could have hired a gunman to effect his | revenge. The Montgomery County authori- ties this morning dropped the theory that a certain young couple reported to them by neighbors Thursday morning were possibly the principals involved in the suspected love triangle when they received information that a second couple hitherto unmentiored in the mystery might be involved. They immediately concentrated their activities in this dirgetion. The man involved in the latest in- tigation, according to his friends, of a high-strung temperament and believed easily capable of having gone to the murder extreme had he been convinced that he was justified. Funeral Services Held. ‘While the authorities were running down the latest theory and making visits to a home in the same neigh- borhood as the Mills residence funeral services were being held from the Travilah Ba t Church for the mur- dered dairyman. While the Mills neighbors and Rock- ville habitues appeared convinced that they knew who committed the murder, the authorities themselves, led by State’s Attorney Robert Peter, jr.,and Lijeut.

GOVERNMENT IS ASKED TO FIX APPLE GRADES Standards Now Under Considera- tion by Bureau of Agricultural Economics for Commercial Trade. Barreled apple standards now under consideration by the Bureau of Agri- cultural Kconomics would eliminate the sometimes popular belief that “‘the little ones are at the bottom."” Commercial and public representa- tives from States that ship barreled apples have asked the Government for standards requiring that *‘the shown face shall be reasonably representa- tive in size, color and quality of the contents of the package.” for export trade they suggest: “Apples shall be tightly packed, ma- turity not riper than firm ripe, free from scald, and shall show not more than 1 per cent decay.” Slight modification of the present United States fancy grade, so as to permit minor blemishes, such as slight russeting and small, light col- ored limb-rubs, is favored. | Red ELECTRICAL POWER ANAID TO FARMERS Method Adopted in Operating Threshers and Other In- dustries in 25 States.

Outstanding developments, Stewart vs. are the successful application of electrical power to dairy barn ven- tilation, to dairy refrigeration and to poultry raising. Refrigeration is becoming a vital problem on dairy farms, Stewart points out. Until lately the farmer could refrigerate his products by put- ting them into a pail at the bottom ot a well rope. But now dairying is becoming a blg business—it neared the $200,000,000 mark last year in Minnesota—and more elaborate cool- ing systems are demanded. Engineers at the Red Wing station are work- ing on a refrigerator designed ex- clusively for farm use. Poultry Raisers Interested. Minnesota poultry farms doing an- nual businesses approximating $100,- 000 ure experimenting with electrical devices, according to Stewart, and have aiready found that electrically- heated incubators produce high per- centage hatches of well developed chicks, and that the electric lighting of poultry houses during the Winter increases egg production by four or five eggs a month for each hen.
