w YHEREVER grain is grown
Nv continuously for number of
w years the soil decreases in
yielding power. If the prac-
tice is kept up the yields will finally
become so low as to be Improbable,
and the land is said to be worn out.
The fact is it is not worn out any
more than sickle is worn out when
it becomes too dull to cut. Both the
sickle and the soil need a certain
amount of treatment before they are
in shape to use again.
In the case of the soil nature will
restore it to its original productivity

missioner estimates that there are
nearly five hundred prisoners confined
In the county jails. who are doing moth
ing and are putting the various coun-
ties to q large expense for their main
tenance. If this small army could be
put upon the roaIs and kept there
nearly, every day In the year. 1t can he
readily seen what Il. vast amount of
work could be accomplished with no
additional expense.
Wood county now has nifty prisoners
in the jail. costing the county twenty
five dollars day. with absolutely no
return. The operation Of this scheme
would also tend to prevent crime II the
confinement should become term of
hard labor. . III.
In this and other plans which Mr..
Light Is advancing. the good people OF
this State will readily become very
much Interested. His work Is one Of
the most important In this State. and
the time Is ripe for q great advance
mcnt along these lincs.--Parkersburg

Mr.. Lights plan rs above outlined
scenes quite good and very practicn-
BILE. Under the new liquor laws and
the pistol totinE act. the judge has no
discretion in the matter OF jntl sem
fences for violators. hence 1t seems en-.
tirelv, probable that our county iail:s
will fill up very rapidly and there
ought to be some why OF getting value
received for boarding tho prisoners.
The ronds OF West Virginia need their
services and we have millions OF
ncrches of stone In the State that need
"beating." SO why not let the bootleg
gers and pistol toters help build up
some nassable highways in the various
counties? This idea is not new. hut 1t
is good. and we are glad that the State
Higway Commissioner Is urging the
counties to action on 1t. Let the pris
rners In our county juils do something
to nny for their board and Mt the same
time do something useful for the coun.
ty. Keep the proposition going. 1t is
a good one.

problem OF ascertainIng just how VAL

changes made In the construction OF
