Contend That Chewers of Weed

Jeffersonville, Ind, July 2o.-Some
ca the manufacturers who take the
surplus OF articles manufa ctured in
the Indiana refomnatory are DESTROYS
THAT the inmates employed in the
shops in which these manufacturers
are interested shall be allowed the
use OF chewing tobacco while at work
and are themselves willing to bear the
expense, on the ground that the in
diligence would increase the efficiency
OF the men. The suggestion will prob
ably be considered by the board OF
trustees at their next meeting.
The use OF tobacco in amy form has
not been countenanced at the re-
formatory since w. II. Whitaker
came as superintendent IN 1908, and
the use of it by guards and instruc-
tors inside the institution was forbid
den. 1t is said that men who have
served one term in prison, or who
otherwise acquainted with the rules
would frequently make out their age
TO be over thirty in order that on
conviction they might go to Michigan
City and ENJOY an occasional chew
rather than come to Jeffersonville
and be denied the solace of the weed

TO GAIN RECRUITS.
Uncle Sam Will Devote More Ener-
gies to Advertising for Young
Men.

Since Uncle Sam Mas become eco
nomic,al and called TN all but one OF
the many navy recruiting parties that
travelled throughout all THE states, he
has adopted a new scheme and has
practically gone into the advertising
business to get recruits for his navy.
The U. S. n. Department has ITS
eye contcnually upon young men ac-
ceptable to the navy as the building
OF SO many new battleships necessi-
tates more recruits for the mannStng
of them. The scheme now adopted
by the L. S n Department. is an
educational one. The postmSSters OF
different cb-ies are asked to furnish a
list III the rames OF young men OF
good character and who might be eli
gi5le to service in the navy The de-
partmem then sends descriptive liter
ature to these young men, none ov-
er the age OF 35 years, and III this
way the recipient OF the letter can
study the matter over, and become
cognizant OF the many opportunities
the navy offers TO young men. 1t he
determines to enlist he goes to the
nearest recruiting office, takes the ex-
animation, and ii eligible, is assigned
to some post at once. This new idea
OF advertising is bringing Uncle Sam
good results, and is more satisfactory
and less expensive than the irriterani
recruiting PARTIES of three officers.

Officiating Clergyman or Justice Fail

as Provided by Law.

There Is a grave question con-

several marriage licenses issued by

Says tire Goshen News Times. Either
the parties are not married or the
minister, priest, justice, judge, mayor
or rabbi failed to make the return.

offe1lse in Indiana, punishable by a
fine of from SIS TO 500 to fail to re-
turn marriage license and return OF
ceremony performed witqlin three
months after a marriage is perform
ed.
These marriage laws at first glance
appear trivial, but a little thought 10y
even the most careless will bring a
realization that the laws are vital to
the very life of the government and
society.
