ANOTHER ATTEMPT
To BREAK JAIL
Prisoners Dig Through Wal
Into Cold>air Shaft. Plot
Discovered in Time.
USE SHARPENED SPOON HANDLE
Plot Similar to Attempt Of Sew
eral Months ago. Prisoners
Now Kept In Gage.

Another unsuccessful attempt was
made to esca pc from the county jail last
Thursday night. The scheme was dis
covered, however, 10 time to prevent the
delivery as planned.
On Thursday afternoon Sheriff Chap
pell had workman making some re-
pairs in the corridor on the second floor
of the Ill. During the course of the
work they discovered that the cold-air
register leading into the air shaft was
loose, and on inve3tigation, discovered
that the bricks and mortar had all been
dug away, leaving hole large enough
for man to pass through. The regis
ter and brick had all been carefully re-
placed and it was an accident that the
plot was discovered The instrument
used to dig out the mortar and loosen
the brick was the handle of an ordinary
table spoon from which the bowl had
been broken and the end sharpened by
rubbing on the walls of the corridor
The prisoners who did the work were
probably waiting until night when they
would drop to the basement and attempt
to break through the outer wall, or it is
possible they might have tried to climb
to the top of the air shaft and escape
from the roof.
The plot was similar to the one of sew
eral months ago, when an attempt was
made to break through into the cold-air
shaft on the first floor The instrument
used at that time was also the sharpened
end of spoon handle. Prisoners at tt Q
Jail are no longer allowed the privileges
of the corridor, but are locked in the
cage.

Girls Of Today

Some people seem to deem "the
girl of today" of no account COM
pared with the girl in grandmother's
time. This is a mistake. The girl
Of today is hustler. She does the
clerking, the typewriting, the book
keeping and the school teaching of
the country. She is crowding the
boy of the earth because he is too
slow. too indolent, too Indifferent,
too busy drinking, playing pool and
fishing to keep in step with her. In
America women are not only doing
housekeeping better than II was
ever done before, but half the other
work as we'll. She shines in the
college, makes up three-fourths of
the graduating classes in the High
schools, does most of the church
work, conducts literary clubs, beau
titles a park, roots for the home
baseball team, and leads colleges,
Illuminating literary clubs and liter
airy functions. She visits the sick,
disPenses charity. Besides all this,
she finds time to listen to the lovemak-
ing Of some weak man who needs a
wife to take care of him. We tell
you, the modern girl is strenuous. |
She is dandy.-Mineral Wells

their last dollar settling there
| The lure was wheat.
The Canadian government hal
been spending $4,000 yearly il
encouraging immigration. It adver
tised its wheat lands in 900 news
papers. It told farmers that u.s.,
900, 900 acres were waiting for them
free. Predictions we're made that
within few years Canada's wheat
crop would total 500. 900. 900 bush
els year. or $4,000. 900 bushels
more than the greatest crop produc-
ed by the entire United States. In
1906 Saskatchewan. Alberta and
Manitoba had 1884 1863 acres under
cultivation and raised over l0o. 00O.-
600 bushels of wheat alone.

the song. There where stories and
pictures and advertisements about it.
Settlers wrote home to their friends.
Their friends friends heard about il.
Poems we're written about this mar
velous wheat country. So the
hordes poured in. In 1906 the grain
Of Alberta and Saskatchewan was as
line as any in the world. and as far
north as the very edge of the artic
circle the wheat crop was prodigious.
Then the frost came. Il was either
government aid. or crash. If the
settlers could not pay their bills and
'eplant their lands. it was the end.
The tide would have turned away.
The newness of the land and the un-
of the settlers made
aid imperative. This
money will be considered as loan.

An expert in Salt Lake City in
searching for a means for roofing
out the dandelion pest from lawns
claims to have found the following
effective:
Two pounds of sulphate of iron
we're dissolved in two gallons of
water. 1t was then poured into a
spraying pump. In one place a
patch Of dandelions was sprayed
heavily, another patch was sprayed
medium, and a third patch was
sprayed lightly. Inside Of an hour
the dandelions were burned black as
coal. The lawn grass and the clover
were not touched and stood as fresh
as ever.
The grass was not affected where
the dandelions were sprayed the
heaviest.
The dandelions we're killed to the
roots. The body of the roots alb
sorbed the sulphste, and it is said
the sprouts will mot come up from
the roots again The grass looked
orighterthan any other in the ground.
As the cost is light this is worth

northwest we're touted as the great

ulated over night. Every blade of
sturdy alberta red" meant con-

Yet the Canadian government is
spending today 81. 900, 900 in fur
nishing seed grain to the farmers of
Alberta and Saskatchewan, because
the late spring last year froze 50
much Of the grain that it is unfit for
seeding purposes. The two pro-
vinces produced about 100, 0OO, 900
bushels OF wheat and oats, but the
loss has been enormous because of
the frost-bitten grain and many
farmers are on the verge of destitu-
ton this winter.

Here is a minister who appreciates
the editor. At a recent editorial
convention he gave the following
advice: ITO save an editor from
starvation, take his paper and pay
for it promptly. To save him from
bankruptcy, advertise in his paper
literally. To save him from des-
pair, send him every item of news
of which you can get hold of. To
save him from profanity, write your
correspondence plainly on one side
of the sheet and send It in as early
as possible. To save him from mis-
takes. bury him. Dead people are
the only ones who never make mis-
takes.
