A man, accused of crime, here-and in England has a right to be tried by a jury of his peers. But as a matter of fact our lax laws and the execution of them have bred criminals that mentally are superior to the average jury. “And when any criminal or his friends have money enough to make it worth while, he may employ attorneys in his defense that are many of the jury Canada y Generally speaking, murderer, the dumb it ) burglar, moron, highwayman, or the dead-pan. monthly consumption at a quite inkidnaper that hangs, or sends time. considerable increase in expense. in stir, as a result of his conviction.

This applies to the first block which now becomes 40 kilowatt hours; under the former schedule the first block was set at 30 kilowatt hours plus 5 kilowatt hours for each room over six in the residente. Where the household consumption exceeds 40 kilowatt hours, the charge for additional service up to 200 kilowatt hours will be at the rate of 2.5 cents instead of, as’ at present, 3.5 cents. This is particularly interesting for the reason that the average monthly domestic. consumption of electricity is estimated at 60 kilowatt hours. Por: this amount the cost to the domestic consumer will be but $2.10, nlus the service charge, showing a reduction of a fraction over 10 per cent as comPared with the charge under the outgoing rate schedule.

NEW YEAR OUTLOOK FOR LUMBER IS GOOD Fred E. Conner of the Builders Supply House, receiving an inquiry from the managing editor, Ed Martin of the California Lumber Merchant, resarding the 1936 outlook for the lumber business in this territory, sent the following reply: ‘‘Where anyone lives and has his interests should be the best place in the world.

One day Mr. Calanan asked her if she had written to Santa, she anwsered no, but in a few days she wrote one. The following is the letter: Nevada City, Dec. 13, 1935.

This will be the first of a series of New York dramatic successes brought to Sacramento and will. be Mr. Huston’s only appearance in California ‘outside of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Presented by Max Gordon and with the cast which recently closed an engagement of .353 performances in New York and three months in Chicago, the Sidney Howard Sinclair Lewis play, ‘‘Dodsworth,’’ will be given just. as it was during its long run on Broadway. With Juliette Crosby and Nan Sunderland in the two principal feminine roles, the ‘Dodsworth’ company is said to be one of. the most skillfully selected and evenly balanced seen on tour in recent. seasons. and Producer Gordon’s showmanship and recognition of the rights of the public is proved by the fact that he did not cheapen the cast when sending the play out of New York. In addition to Miss Crosby and Miss Sunderland the large cast includes Ethel Jackson, Helen Zelinskaya, Beatrice Maude, Doris Day, Baroness de Hollub, Paul Porter, Harlan Briggs, Bram: Nossen, Gregory Gaye, Leslie Dennison, Frank Taylor, Richard ourtney and many others. “Dodsworth” is a play particularly adapted to the needs of the “tired business man,” and it is of no less interest to his wife, because it is about a business man and his wife, and the dramatic experiences they have when they quit their conventional home in the Middle West, and are thrown into the vortex of unconventional European society. It is a play that /the business man and his wife will talk over when they get home and discuss with the neighbors. There is nothing bromidic about “Dodsworth.”’ In fact, before the final. urtain, it becomes sulphurie. Hence its fascination. There are three acts of fourteen scenes designed by Jo Mielzinger, which are changed with incredible rapidity by means of two revolving ‘The play was directed by Robert Sinclair. i f 18) Cc XMAS PARTY AND TREE The Methodist church Sunday several trips to Putts Lake near Emigrant Gap and enjoyed skating.

This will be the first of a series of New York dramatic successes brought to Sacramento and will. be Mr. Huston’s only appearance in California ‘outside of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Presented by Max Gordon and with the cast which recently closed an engagement of .353 performances in New York and three months in Chicago, the Sidney Howard Sinclair Lewis play, ‘‘Dodsworth,’’ will be given just. as it was during its long run on Broadway. With Juliette Crosby and Nan Sunderland in the two principal feminine roles, the ‘Dodsworth’ company is said to be one of. the most skillfully selected and evenly balanced seen on tour in recent. seasons. and Producer Gordon’s showmanship and recognition of the rights of the public is proved by the fact that he did not cheapen the cast when sending the play out of New York. In addition to Miss Crosby and Miss Sunderland the large cast includes Ethel Jackson, Helen Zelinskaya, Beatrice Maude, Doris Day, Baroness de Hollub, Paul Porter, Harlan Briggs, Bram: Nossen, Gregory Gaye, Leslie Dennison, Frank Taylor, Richard ourtney and many others. “Dodsworth” is a play particularly adapted to the needs of the “tired business man,” and it is of no less interest to his wife, because it is about a business man and his wife, and the dramatic experiences they have when they quit their conventional home in the Middle West, and are thrown into the vortex of unconventional European society.
