PLEAD OWN CASE

Now in County Jail.

1T. Madison, March 6.-Diligently
pouring over an Iowa code, P. r. Kirby
a man claimed to have several aliases
and criminal record, sits in the coun'
ty Jail here awaiting trial on the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses.
His case was postponed at his own
instance from the present term, set
for the first case of the next or April
term, and now the prisoner believes he
is capable of trying his own case and
has asked for waiver of jury and i'm.
mediate trial.
Admittedly reformed gambler. he
practiced at Fort Madison during the
early winter, gained the confidence and
help Of the best. society organizations
in the city in the establishment Of a
distributing station for the poor,
known as the Life Line mission.
The chief charge against Kirby is
that he sold blind boy, who had
earned his board by playing a violin
on the street corners. recipe for some
medicine and a half interest in the
mission, both worthless, for $50.

were under 80 years Of age. Between

thirty-five sent to Anamcsa and be-
tween 35 and 40 only fifteen. Those
between IS and 60 years of age at the
reformatory number only three.
Criminals Not Ignorant.
The common belief that ignorance
is responsible for most crime does not
seem to be borne out by the statistics.
There were 431 men and women sent

able to read and write and had some
education. while only 121 were termed
i]literate. Neither does ill health

Anamosa in two years were in good
health and sound, IA were diseased
and 10 injured. Twenty-six of those
committed to the reformatory were

Where Licorice Comes From.

Very few people have any idea
where the familiar licorice root
comes from. AS a matter of fact,
the bulk of it halls from Syria. Here
it is gathered and piled into great
stacks, where it remains until it is
thoroughly dry. 1t is then taken to
the factory to undergo certain pro-
cesses. The finished product is used
for flavoring confectionery and beer,
as well as entering into the makeup
of many brands of tobacco. Some
idea of the extent of the industry
may be gathered when it is stated
that ON an average 5000 tons of
dry licorice root is shipped from
Aleppo annually, while Bagdad yields
another 5000 tons, Antioch 1000
and Damascus 500 tons. With the
exception of the Damascus output the
whole trade is in the hands of sin

FOREST SERVICE ASSISTS.
Policy of Service to Join Cities in
Keeping Water Supply Pure.

Secretary Houston has just ap-
proved an agreement between the
Department of Agriculture and the
town of Stafford, Ariz., by which the
Forest Service and the town will CO.
operate to conserve Safford's water
supply, which comes principally from
the Crook national forest.
This is the largest one of many
such agreements. According to the
figures of the Forest Service there
are nearly 1900 cities and towns in
the west which derive their water
supply from lands within the nation
al forests. Where these cities desire
it the government joins hands with
the citizens for the purpose of main
tanning permanent and pure water
supply.
Stock raising, for example, or any
other occupancy of the land, which
ordinarily would be encouraged
would be inadvisable on a watershed
which forms source of drinking wa
ter. The Forest Service recognizes
that water is as necessary a COM
modify for wooded hillsides to sup
ply as are sawlogs or mine props
A watershed area may offer an op-
portunity to furnish the greatest ben
eft to the largest number through
supplying an unpolluted source OF
water for domestic purposes.
Contracts like that just made with
Stafford are now in force with Cas-
cade, Colorado Springs, Durango and
Manitou, Colo; Salt Lake in Utah
and Baker City and The Dalles, Ore
gon. The famous Bull Run water
shed, which supplies Portland, Ore,
is on the Oregon national forest.
The cooperative agreement in
each case provides that the land may
not be used without approval by the
town, except for the protection and
care of the forests. The government
agrees to extend and improve the for
ests by seeding, planting and forest
management, so far as the funds for
that purpose are available. The city
for it's part, assists by paying the sal
aries of the additional guards neces-
sary to carry out the agreement, and
contracts to bear the greater part of
the cost of any improvement work
which is considers Immediately desir-
able.

LOVE.

Love is the best that life has to
give and so is worthy of cultivating
Let us cultivate mother love by de-
serving it, by offering in return ten
der, grateful devotion and care. Let
us cultivate married love by keeping
our hearts pure and tender. Let us
cultivate neighborly and friendly
love by showing ourselves neighborly
and friendly, ready to do a kind
deed, to say pleasant word, and
by keeping our door Hospitality wide
to invite the passing guest to enter
and accept what we have to give.
Let us cultivate the love of our
children by teaching them the truth
and by continued patient kindness.
If they do wrong we love them still,
for love abides, but we still show
them that wrong itself deserves only
hate. We will teach them to be
charitable and loving by example
permitting no unkind gossip, no
harshness or rudeness to pass with
out a kindly rebuke. We will not
judge harshly. We will look fol-
what is sweet and good in men and
women, interpreting the sayings and
acts of others in the most charitable
light. We will not let the badness
of the bad make us blind to the
goodness of the good.
We will trust those we loye. We
will not show the stubborn obstinacy
of the unforgiving whose hearts are
filled with like pride, that forbids
them to say they are sorry for 6
wrong done, or for a mistake. We
will be unselfish but not so unselfish
that we shall ruin the character oi
all the young people about us by Civ
ing them no chance to exercise the
same virtue We will take our share
of the good things of life as thank
fully and gladly and even as gaily as
we can. There is a great virtue in
wholesome gladness in the mature
gaiety.
We will give ourselves to love
showing ourselves grateful to those
who love us, who make life easy and
lovely for us. We will remember to
protect those who love us from our
own indifference, impatience and
pride, realizing that love has no de-
fenses, that great love knows no fear
and has thrown down every barrier
in self-sacrificing joy.

OUR FEUDAL LORDS.

If it weren't so serious, this habit
of certain rather antique type of
mill owner to threaten labor with
wage cuts whenever tariff legislation
doesn't go to suit him would be
quite ludicrous. 1t is so naively
feudal.

Poultry Trains in Wales.

The press, in referring to the egg
and poultry train which toured North
Wales April % to May 6, stated that
this movement is modelled on the
American agricultural missionary
trains" which carry the latest prac-
tical knowledge to farmers. Some
thirty north Wales towns were visit
ed, including Mold, Welshpool,
Pwllhell Denbigh, Carnarvon, AM
lwch and Llanymnech A similar
trip three years ago in south Wales
resulted in adding about 100000
annually to poultry-keepers' profits.
AS the train visited districts where
in whole villages no English is spok-
en-, Welsh-speaking experts and dem
onstrators were on the staff.
Various county education commit
tees and the Aberystwyth and Ban
ger universities co-operated with the
two promoting societies (the Agri
cultural Organization Society and the
National Organization Society. One
of the two demonstration cars, with
capacity for thirty people, had test
ing room for eggs and various testing
apparatus. Here were exhibited eggs
from various countries selling in this
market. This car also. carried speci-
mems of table poultry, with fattening
apparatus, etc. The second car was
a museum of appliances for an up-to-
date poultry farm, such as brooders,
trap nests, chick boxes, incubators,
and egg boxes of various forms.
There were also models of poultry
houses, diagrams, charts, photo
graphs, etc., illustrating poultry keep
ing. A staff of speakers and demon
strators accompanied the train.
When the British imports of eggs
are considered-40,0 900, 900 dozen in
the first three months this year,
against 5000, 900 dozen in the first
quarter of 1912-it will be seen that
the home product has an ample field
in which to compete, and recently
published estimate stated that the six
northern counties of Wales could in
crease their annual production of
eggs and poultry to about $5 900, 900
without interfering with crops or
stock, whereas the present annual
value therein is only 100000
