THE PUBLIC OUGHT TO
ASSIST THE BANKS

In a time like the present when the

visions OF the law it Is not likely that
there ever will be anything approach
ing a parity between them The num-
ber of convicts in the penitentiary at
the present time is approximately 625

Under the statutes, which regulate
the matter. no prisoner is eligible to
parole under any circumstances until
he has served the minimum number
of years given him by the trial judge
under the indeterminate sentence law.
That the parole law OF the state is a
good thing and Is strong incentive
to exemplary conduct on the part Of
prisoners within the penitentiary can
not be denied. The very few viola
tons of the terms OF the parole es-
tablish that fact beyond question. and
that its salutary eject Is apparent in
prison discipline goes without saying.
prisoners parole depends as much
upon his conduct RR upon the length
of his service behind the penitentiary

The Department OF Agriculture.
through DIR. II. ". Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry, has undertaken
to educate the farmers regarding the
manufacture of denatured alcohol. Two
bulletins on the subject have been is
sued.
From DR.. Wiley's discussion Of the
subject the conclusion is reached that
the manufacture of alcohol on a very
small scale Is not likely to prove prof
table, and because of revenue regula-
tions it is evident that the farmer must
be content with producing the raw ma
terials. The bulletin on the subject of
sources and manufacture says:
THE principal uses of Industrial al
cohol are illumination, heating, motive
power and the manufacture of lacquers.
varnishes, smokeless powder, medicinal
and pharmaceutical preparations, vine
gar and ether. When Industrial alco-
hol Is made at price at which 1t can
compete with petroleum and gasoline,
1t doubtless will be preferred for the
purposes above mentioned, because of
its greater safety and more pleasant
odor. Under the present conditions 1t
Is not probable that industrial alcohol
can be offered upon the market at much
less than 40 cents gallon of 90 per
cent strength"
DR.. Wiley expresses the belief, how
ever, that by paying attention to un-
used sources of raw material and with
improved methods Of manufacturing
and denaturing this price can be dl-
mlnished.

The Hollanders evidently breed and

succeed is proved by the large milk
yields Of their cows. That large milk
flow, seemingly regardless Of butter-fat

their prosperity. The dairyman here
thinks 1t necessary to pay small prices
for dairy cows that annually yield
from 5000 to 1000 pounds of milk.
