THE lyman POLICY

4 ANFhiN N-iSA
The old saying is, There is
honor among thieves Thomas
lyman has shown that convicts in
our state penitentiary have some
manhood which can be appealed
to successfully. The following is
from the Chicago Public.
Thomas j. lyman, the peniten-
tiary warden whose humane meth
DDS in his own state have begun to
affect penal policies everywhere,
described the Colorado system in
one of its aspects before the Chica-
90 Association of Commerce on
the 25th. He said: we build APP
proximately S250,00O worth of roads
yearly. Prisoners are sent out to
do the work They form camp
and are supervised in their work
by skilled road man. For every
thirty days of good department the
prisoner receives ten days of good
time. One prisoner out of every
200 escapes. Before they are sent
out they give their word of honor
they will not attempt to escape and
will prevent others from trying.
They get relatives and friends to
make like promises on their be-
half, so that when a man does es-
cape he throws down his best
friends"

their dairy herds. Secretary Cooper
Grand Forks that North Dakota farm
ers are taking gindly to dairying and
that the success of this branch of
farming now depends only on keep
ing profitable stock.

for the purpose Of comparatively test
ing all cows in the herd. determining
their value as producers and keeping
records of cost of production and In

The expense OF such an association
Is not high. One tester. who becomes
a farm dairy expert. can take care of
the work of twenty-six herds. 1t Is
estimated that about $3.50 will pay

In order to encourage work Of this
kind in the state. the Better Farming
association offers. in a limited num-

what might have been a serious fire
at 3 o'clock this morning when they

from spreading to nearby dwellings.

when they took UP the fight at the

keeping the blaze from communicate
ing with the house and perhaps caus-
ing q conflagration. Within a few
minutes the neighborhood was out Of
danger. but as the firemen approach
ed the scene 1t appeared as though
the flames might spread rapidly over
the entire block.
The fire Is believed to have started
from spontaneous combustion in the
one-story paint shop at the rear Of
the dwelling.
Mr.. Iverson was out Of the city last
night. He carried only light tnsur-
ance on his building.
A strange coincidence In connec-

COOPER SOUNDS
WARNING NOTE
Tells Farmers to Take Care
in Curing Seed Corn
They Gathered.

Secretary Cooper has sounded u
note Of warning to the North Dakota
farmers. who selected their own seed
corn. The head Of the Better Farm
ing association has recently found
several farmers who have not taken
proper care Of their corn and are
likely to lose a portion, at least, Of its
value as a result.
Ventilation Shut Out.
In some cases corn has been piled
up or placed in a room which Is not
ventilated. Secretary Cooper calls at
tention to the necessity Of using a
great deal of care at this stage Of
curing seed corn. The corn must be
hung UP. in rooms where 1t. will have
q a n to dry naturally and It
should be looked over frequently to
see that, no moisture is allowed to
gather.
Frosts Likely to Damage.
AT this season of the year the frosts
are likely to do damage to the seed
corn unless the ears are properly pro.
tected.. The corn must not be allowed
to freeze while moist. as this Injuries
the termination.
TOO much care cannot be given the
seed corn at this stage" said Secre-
tary Cooper. IA few days OF care.
essness now may. mean the ruin of ALI
the seed corn selected. The farmers
OF n state cannot afford to grow
seq corn and allow the termination

The three essentials Of good seed
corr are freedom from frost, thorough
and natural drying and freedom from

force. he obeys the call, takes n
precious Sunday, and follows the
road.
1t never matters which road.
they are all alike endless, and
lead one into the other.
MANY PICTURES
OF LIFE THERE
So the road winds on, never
quite straight. never homely in
its crookedness. Along it, if your
eyes are open. there are Won
drous pictures of life that always
may be een by the sid., of the
road, from the field mouse that
burrows by the rail of the fence.
to the woman who lives behind
her "settin' ROOM windows, and
watches every %passerby, with eyes
as curious as those of the little
field neighbor. She wonders where
from the world beyond the ross
roads you have come. and where
YOU might be going. She doesn't
know: neither do you.
You walk on and on. and see
with surprise how much life there
is that doesn't exist in rows of
houses. and speculate as to where
each crossing roadway leads to.
Fingers point down them. but
other fingers. on white painted
wooden signboards. point along
the way you have come: so YOU
go on, and wonder whether, if
you walked far enough, you
might come to the end of the
rainbow.
Then later. when the impress
sionism of the landscape has
melted into vague. half formed
pencil etchings. you find your way
home. and see new beauty in the
steam from the tea kettle. The
call of the road has been answer
ed: it's cry is silent for a little
while.
