FARM LECTURES IN PRISON

ture, and System May Be Adopted

New York.-A course of lectures on
agriculture delivered in the Tomba
prison may seem an odd combination,
but it is being tried and is pronounced
a decided success by the prison au'
thorities. All the prisoners in the In.
stitution heard the first lecture Of the
series and were much interested in it
The lecturer vas George p. Manches'
ter, a practical farmer of Winsted,
Conn. He pointed the way for those
who wish to turn from their old ways
and go back to the soil" after their
release.
Not long ago Rev. Charles P. Tinker
of the Protestant Episcopal City mis-,
sion, a regular. visitor at the Tombs,
decided that he could interest the
prisoners in a series of technical lee
lures. The plan was approved by the
department of correction and may be
adopted in prisons and reform institu.
lions throughout the country.
The lecturer, in his Introductory ad.
dress, told the men of the coming re,
vival of farming and laid particular
stress upon the fact that the demand
for farm labor is so great now that SO
long as a man does his work honestly
the farmers do not ask about his past,
At the conclusion Of the lecture there
was a general discussion. The prison,
ers asked TIE lecturer many questions
and n of them made a long speech

ing Of the Sphinx County Bar associa-
ton, held at Redtield last Friday,
Judge G. S. Whiting of the state

dorsed for the position of United
States district judge to succeed Judge
Garland.
In view Of the fact that this county
was embraced in the first circuit over
which Judge Whiting presided as a
trial judge, it would seem that this
Endorsement is significant. Judge
Whiting is held in the highest esteem
here where he began his work as a
trial judge, and the attorneys of this
part of the state are enthusiastic over
his candidacy for the federal bench.

The conclusion of the subcommit-
tee that investigated the charges that
Lorimer's seat in the senate was
bought is that the senator is not con-
victed of doing the buying In view
of the fact that several members of
Illinois legislature have confessed to
being bribed, and that seventeen
democrats deserted their candidate
and went over to Lorimer. the evid-
ence that some one did the buying is
strong enough for all practical pur-
poses.

OLDEST HoMEsrEADER IN STATE

Hayes. S. D., Dec. 28.-Editor Sioux
City Tribune: I read in your paper of
a homesteader in South Dakota, who
was between 70 and 80 years of age,
and who made proof on a quarter of
land and for who it was claimed that
he was the oldest homesteader west
of the river.
A hcmesteader, Christian Christian
son, aged IS years, recently made
proof before me. He made the round
trip of 40 miles in one day to make his
proof. His claim is about 40 miles
from the nearest railroad town, and
he seems to be strong and healthy and
may easily be good for another Is
years. Yours truly,
