SUPPORT FAMILIES
OR co TO PRISON
Under New Law County Attor-
ney Has Authority to Force
Delinquents to Work.

Under the new law on abandonment,
enacted by the last legislature, Salt
Lake county will compel men to sup
port their wives and families if they
want to keep out Of jail. The county
attorneys office took the matter up
with the commissioners and as q re-
suit it has peen decided that men who
fail to provide for their wives and fam
lilies and are able to do SO will be put
to work on road improvement by the
county, and the compensation for their
labors will be paid to their families,
This is made possible under the new
law and will mean much toward putting
stop to the refusal of men 10 take
care of their families. County Attorney
I, e, Willie announced yesterday that the
county now has several men whom it
will put to work Immediately upon the
completion of the necessary plans and
regulations. In the future all men
found guilty Of neglecting their fam,
lies will be put to work by the county
or sent to Jail upon conviction.
The county commissioners and the at
torney g office now are formulating reg
ulations to put the new proposition into
effect and il is expected that the sys.
tenn will be started in few days. 1t
was agreed to start the matter at the
meeting of the county commissioners

rangements have been practically COM

Farming congress, which meets next
Tuesday and Wednesday at the ar

begin at ten o'clock. All that is de-

excellent attendance of farmers and
those interested in farming This in
vitation of course includes the ladies',
as their cooperation will help greatly
in the interest of the. meeting.
These two day sessions have been
we'll advertised and those who read at
all have heard about the meeting. 1t
is not the purpose of the speakers to
law down hard and fast rules for the
guidance of farming. but rather to
stimulate and enthuse.
Agriculture is noble calling, and

enthusiasm for their work. But it is
dif6calt to keep up this enthusiasm

ABERDEEN CLUB
.0tMAlt, SERVICE

Aberdeen, S. D., Jan. 2s.-The Alb
erdeen Commercial club took hand
in the agitation for better postal SER
vice and a Square deal' for the rail-
way mail clerks today by sending the
following telegram to the South Da-
kota senator's and representatives at
Washington:
Sowing to the difficulties between
the postal department and the railway
mail clerks, our service is badly Grip
pied and is growing worse. 1t is not
up to standard under normal condi-
tons. The trains are hauling back TN
sorted mail frequently. We suggest
that you increase the cost of postage
on magazine advertising instead of cut
ting the clerks in the service. We
further suggest that the present diff
culties be investigated and an equitable
adjustment made at once.
''Aberdeen Commercial Club"
The work of the railway mail service
Gu the Aberdeen line has been vastly
Increased within the past few months
by the addition of the pouch mail SER
vice on the branch lines of the Mil
wakee road west Of the Missouri river
in South Dakota. On these lines there
is no railway mail clerk, the postmas-
tiers simply placing the mail in pouches
to be worked when it reaches the main
line. Some of the towns on the branch
lines are of good size, and the addi-
tional work adds considerably to the
task confronting the railway mail
clerks.
