GIRLS TAKE WYOMING CLAIMS
Young Homesteaders Live the Simple

CONNECTS LEARN TRADES.
But Cigar Making Is Abolished In
Michigan Prison.

Marquette Mich, Dec. 22-After
April 1, the manufacture of cigars
will be abandoned at the Marquette
prison. A five-year contract for con-
Wet labor expiring the first of the year,
the board of control has decided not
to renew it. Instead, the services of
the prisoners have been awarded to a
manufacturer of overalls who offered
terms much more advantageous to the
state.
The decision put an end to cigar
making at the prison is good news for
cigarmakers Of the state. The indus
try there has been a constant cause
of vexation to them for many years
and they have long sought to have it
abolished.
In the last state election the people
voted on the proposition, shall the
constitution be amended so as to per-
NIT the teaching Of trades to con-
victs?" The force of organized labor
was thrown against the proposal
However, the amendment carried by a
large majority. The vote removed
the embargo on the teaching of trades
to convicts, and left the boards of con-
troll free to employ them as they
wished. The question or convict la
Dor will be considered by the present
constitutional convention.
