CASE BECAME CLEARER
A Baltimore judge, disgusted
with a jury that could not come
to agreement in a perfectly clear
case, arose and said, “I discharge
this jury."
One juryman, angry at what he
considered a rebuke, said “You
can’t discharge me.”
“And why not?” asked the sur-
prised judge.
“Because,” said the juror,
pointing to the defense attorney,
"I’m being hired by that man
there.”

EXPERT CALLS MULE
“FOOLPROOF” ANIMAL
Lincoln, Neb.—A mule isn’t as
stubborn as some people think.
That’s the opinion of William
J. Loeffel, professor of animal
husbandry at tlje University of
Nebraska.
“A mule is not necessarily
stubborn,” Loeffel said, "he’s so
Loeffel said you can’t “stain-
self be maneuvered into • dan-
position.’’
Loeffel said you can’t ’stam-
raule into doing aome-

The change apparently reflects
a trend toward larger, more
mechanized farms. Hidalgo Coun-
ty, with 5,319 farms in 1950 and
5,616 in 1945, has more farms than
any other Texas county. Kenedy,
with 13 in 1950 and 7 in 1945, has
the fewest.
“Miss Jones,” said the science
professor, “would you care to tell
the class what happens when a
body is immersed in water?”
“Sure,” said Miss Jones. “The
