NEGRO CONv|CTS
RETURNED PISTOL

For an unusual display of loyalty
and discipline while one of the uDruly
convicts at the penitentiary was beng
punished Tuesday two other con-
vtcts-both negroes--were highly
complimented 8by Superintendent
Wood and given clean marks" which
will materially shorten their terms of
service.
Guard Payne in attempting to en-
force discipline. one of the convicts
refusing TO obey orders and resisting
the guard, accidentally dropped his
pistol. but before the man with whom
he was struggling could reach it. the
two negroes referred to seized it and
returned 1t to officer Payne.
AS soon as the matter was reported
to the superintendent he made fun
investigation, ascertained that the
negroes were entitled TO good marks.
and entered their names ON the list
of those entitled to recommendation
for an earlier parole and final re-
lease.

WHY THE COST OF LIVING HAS IN.
CREASED

The Senate Committee appointed to
cost of living has specified fifteen prtnci-
pal causes. Briefly they are as follows:
Increased cost of farm production; in
creased demand for farm products; de-
cline in soil fertility; the relatively
larger number Of consumers as ompared
with producers; the settlement Of immi.
grants in consuming rather than in pro.
duclng centers; increased banking facil-
tiles; greater transportation cost of Ger
tain commodities like lumber, etc. owing
t0 reduced supplies near consuming CEN
ters; the erection ofstorage plants; COOP
Grafton between producers and dealers;
growing cost Of distribution because of
better sery ce demanded by the consum-
ing public; higher cost of selling; indus
trial combinations; over-capitalization
growing money supply; and a higher
standard OF living among all classes of
people.
These causes are all industrial rather
than political. The tariff is not blamed
for share in the higher cost of living.
One of these causes which is of special
Importance to the farmer is the decline
of sol! fertility. This means lower yields
of crops and consequently gradually de-
creasing returns for labor expended in
production. This is no doubt an import
ant factor; at the same time it is one
that can be controlled by the farmer,
and hence should claim his earnest atten-
ton. Ii viii! no longer do for him to
turn deaf ear to questions pertaining
to the maintenance of soil fertility; there
is no longer big fertile West where he
can move when his farm, like the mine
has become exhausted. Let him begin
IN time. In the West our soils are still
fertile, but they will not continue to
yield large crops much longer unless an
amount of plant food, equivalent to that
removed by crops, is annually added to
them.
