USE PRISONERS
FOR ROAD SYSTEM
Attorney General cosson, Of Iowa
Tells Of System in That
State

Two dollars a day is the price
now paid for the labor of eonvicts,
and indications are that their wages
will soon be increased to $3.50. And
not long ago the labor OF these same
prisoners was valued at between 60
and 80 cents day. Such is the diff
ference between the old system of
leasing conyicts to contractors and
the new method of using the men in
the construction and repair of high
ways. >.
These facts were contained in
report of prison labor conditions in
Iowa, made by George w. Cosson, at
torney general of that state to DR..
T.. Stagg Within, chairman of the ex-
ecutiye committee of the National
Committee on Prison Labor, and as
sistant in social legislation in Column
bia university. Said Mr.. Cosson:
1--WE have a little prison camp do
ing work near the state agricultural
college at Ames under the supervis-
ion of the highway commission.
tese men are on the honor system.
The contract provides that the men
shall receive 50 per day, and if it
develops that they do as much work
as is performed by free labor they
shall receive $3.50 a day. This beats
working under the contract system
at so or so cents per day. Up to
date the money in addition to paying
their maintenance has been funded
for the use of the prisoners and their
families.
In Colorado eonvfcts have been
used on the highways during much
greater period than in Iowa, so .
more complete analysis of results is
possible. Thomas ]. lyman, who is
in charge of the work in the state,
says convict, labor is to spivb ths
road problem OF the nation, THE
benefits to this or any other state
from broad and scientific system
of road building can scarcely be es-
considering the situation in@ Colo
RADIO and basing our figures on act
ual experience, we are confident
that we can construct 5000 miles Of
the very finest roadways in the next
ten years for less than $5o0,000, and
this without adding anything what
ever tosthe burden of the taxpayers"

STATE COULD SUPPLY
WORLDS COAL 50 YEARS
Coming Year Promises to Be the Most
Prosperous in States
History

According to the figures just given
out the state of West Virginia could
supply enough bttumlnous coal to
keep the world gong for the next
fifty years II all other coal mines were
to Shut down.
The United States Government esti-
mates show that only one state in the
union has more coal than West vir.
gina and table recently compiled by
a large Insurance company sets forth
that mining In this state Is as safe
as any place elge In the world. safer
than I'm most states.
BY a late calculation of the worlds
reserve there are 100000 million tons
OF b,tuminous coal still unmined and
OF this amount 27.10S million tons are
in America. Dr. !. G. White the West
Virginia State Geologist declares there
are $4,000 million tons OF unmined coal
in West Virginia. The entire world
uses little over billion tons year.
Recently, "a man Interested In
conditions under which miners work
IA West Virginia made a trip through
the Farmont region and found In that
field alone 25 per cent. more men
could find lucrative employment. Mine
owners In this field are putting up new
houses and are spending thousands of
dollars to improve living conditions
They expect that the coming year
will be the most prosperous In the
history of the state and that men EN-
ployed in the mines will have an OPP
portunity 10 make more money than
over. 1t is pointed out now that men
engaged In West Virgna mines are
earning more than any other coal
miners In the world.

"He constructed what he called a
hen brooder' which was nothing
more than long, rectangular box
on legs. There are no partitions in,
side, but in one end a nest of hay
was made, and the rest of the floor
was covered with sawdust to the
depth of one inch. October last year
in New Hampshire was marked by
cold nights and sunny days. The
chicks were kept in their box the
first ten days and after that were
allowed to run at large with the hen,
which was a careful mother.
"They were fed hard boiled eggs
when young, then Graham crackers
then chick feed and later the feed
given other poultry.
For results-every one of the II
chicks lived through the winter Six
Of them proved to be pullets. Two
began laying the middle of April
and the first of May all were lay
ing. Their age was thus six and
one-half to seven months when they
laid their first eggs. The hen brood
er was kept in the hen house and
no special care was given the hen
or the chicks except to place burlar
