This is fast becoming one of the import- ant branches of farming in Western Canada where conditions are ex- tremely favorable for its success. The advantages of raising baby beef are threefold: greater gains on the same amount of feed than is possible with older cattle, quick turnover of money invested, and greater stabili- ty of markets.

Another set of rumors had the destroyers in the river at the point of opening fire across the city against the Kerensky forces. Munic pal hospitals were reported full of wounded from street combats. Such rumors drove the population from the streets, which were entirely de- rted. Bmissaries of the council were sent to the powder mills to pre- vent expected disorders in that part of town, which would have caused a colossal disaster.

Chapman re- ceived the verdict with the same ap- | | parent calm that he has displayed throughout his trial. The defendant's ease of manner | and seeming indifference since the be- | ginning of his trial on Tuesday for the murder of Harry Regensberg, the cigar and stationery dealer of 636 Park Place, has been remarked by court officers and spectators who | have attended the proceedings. | While awaiting the return of the’| twelve men who were to decide on the question of his life or death the prisoner asked that he be permitted | | to smoke a cigarette. Two deputy | | sheriffs walked with him to the de- ! tention pen and offered him sympathy | in his critical situation. Bt\twe(‘ni | puffs of smoke Chapman replied. ““Oh, what the hell, you've got to die sometime."” The after hearing the sum- | ming up of counsel for Chapman and District Attorney Harry E. Lewis, | and the charge of Justice Kapper, re- | tired at 4:40 o'clock. They required | ! but forty-one minutes for considera- | tion, and at 5:21 o'clock sent word that they had agreed. Such a speedy | decision was rather unexpected.
