PRISON Is
AHEAD IN HANDLING
OF LABOR PROBLEMS

JackSOn-Atter several thou
sand mile trip through the middle
west, during which he made an
extensive and thorough study of
prison system in the various
states, L. Ii. Tougher, chaplain OF
Jackson State prison, recently re-
turned to his work here. In an
interview. Mr.. Tougher pointed out
apparent defects under which most
of the prisons operate and sug-
gested remedial measures, which,
in his opinion, would go far to-
ward solving the prison problem.
He further stated that:
"Three things enter into the high
type OF modern prison admins
tration; Discipline work ana edu-
cational training. These form the
basis of reformation that fits man
for society when he is released.
"The prisons of the middlewest
are rapidly shifting to modern
methods. Incarceration merely for
punishment is becoming a secon-
dairy consideration. The modern
methods include the honor sys-
tenn, work in the open, with or
without guards, and the training
schools.
michigan State prison at jack
son is today holding a front rank
in matters of discipline. 1t may
lack some of the snap of move
ment seen in the military prisons
like Leavenworth, but it gains In
the cheerful, prompt attention of
the men, who respond out of a de-
sire to make good and who are
interested in purposeful, profit
able employment.
"In handling its labor problem,
Michigan State prison is ahead of
any thing l know of or have ever
seen, when you consider the OPP
portunity given for diversity of
employment, opening up for the
men the choice of half a dozen
useful fields of labor, anyone OF
which will give him profitable en-
ployment upon release. AT the
same time, as the Jackson prison
industries are now conducted. they
are fast reducing the expense TO
a point of self-support.'

GOVT. URGING FARMERS
To RAISE MORE CATTLE

MISUNDERSTANDING of meat in
the United States and the way to
increase the supply are discussed
by experts in the department. of
agriculture In a special 'ullctin
issued recently to the :armers Of
the country.
That there is decided meat
shortage is explained by James M.
Pickens, of the bureau of animal
industry, while George M. Rom

division urges maintenance and in

sion in the eastern states and in
creasing the production OF beef
cattle and hogs.
The high cost of meat is SER
ious reality" says Mr.. Pickens,
land it is now obvious that the
rise in prices in recent years is
the natural result of an actual
shortage in production. The con-
dition is reflected in the per cap
tia consumption of meat in the
United States which is estimated
to have fallen off 10 pounds in
the four years, or from 162 pounds
in 1909 to 152 pounds in the fiscal
year, 1913. 1t is evident that the
country is facing an era of short
production of meat and that some
constructive means must be adopt

this class of food is to be sup

Western Michigan Pike
$50 Miles of Good Roads
By HON. FRANK nAMIi TON, Traverse City

No portion of Michigan has more
rapidly developed her highways
than the counties and townships
of Western Michigan.
Turn, if you will, to a period
prior to the time when the state
granted the reward system and
you will find some of the counties
in Western Michigan building
county roads.
In 1905 Michigan adopted the re-
ward system and appropriated the
munificent sum of 100000 for re-
wards. Western Michigan re-
doubled her efforts and built
splendid highways. To-day eleven
of the fourteen lake shore counties
are operating under the county
road system and every county in
the list, either through the county
or township system, is building
state reward roads. The following
table shows the extent of work
done and amount of reward each
county has received under the
present reward system up to June

the northern coast on June 80, and
remained until September 1. The
expedition proved very success
full. The mountain of San Loren
20 was explored from base to sum-
nit, and additional studies were
made about the base of the Sierra
Nevada. In the course of this
work rather exhaustive collections
were made in different lines, and
a considerable number of rare and
new species were found. In the
publications that will result from
the study of the material obtain
ed, the expedition will be desig-
mated as the Walker Expedition, in
recognition of the support of DR..
Walker.
A gift from the Hon. George
Shiras, which made possible dn
expedition TO Whitefish Point
Chippewa County, in 1912, was
continued during the past summer
and a second expedition carried on
further Investigations. They were
limited to the fish of the region
and were made by Professor Tho

that the work was successful, and
he is engaged upon a detailed
paper that will embody the re-
suits of his study. The latter will
be the fourth of the series of pub
locations that have resulted from
the Whitefish Point work.
During the summer Professor
Ermine c. Case, of the Department,
of Geology, assisted by Mr.. w. l.
Robinson, a graduate student in
the Department, also completed
the excavation of a "bone-bed" in
the Permo-Carboniferous beds of
north central Texas. This bed had
been discovered the previous sum-
mer, but was SO extensive that it's
excavation was delayed until the
present year. From 1900 to 1900
specimens were recovered, and are
now in the University. The collec-
ton consists largely of the par
tial skeletons of extinct reptiles
and amphitians, and is one of the
largest, il not the largest, single
collection which has come from
this region.

built or under construction. This
100 miles will practically make the
pike complete.
The official inspection tour left
st. Joseph on the morning of July
7th. No road tour in Michigan has
ever surpassed this in interest.
Recent Investigations have dis
closed the fact that the Northern
counties from and including Ma
son have applied for and built to-
gether, 81 miles of reward road
over this pike, while the lower
tier have applied for and built
together, 33 miles. 1t must not be
roads are (fairly) good roads. We
supposed that only State Reward
are warranted in saying that not
per cent of the roads over this
route are bad roads, and not one
mile is termed impossible by au-
tomobile drivers.
The work of this Pike Associa-
ton may we'll claim attention for
its achievements. 1t has stimu-
lated interest in road building a
long this line to a most surprising
degree. Road officials have imbi bed
fields for their activities. Road
bees have become popular. Town
ships have bonded to the limit
to further this movement in road
building, and, with the additional
rewards which are granted upon
Trunk Lines, the time is not far
distant when Western Michigan
will not only have one great high
way, but, each county, and town
ship even, will count among her
greatest assets her good roads.

ible one and was therefore adopt
ed for the main tour in July. While
at Traverse City the executive
committee re-organized the as
ISOLATION giving it a permanent
name, "The West Michigan Pike
Association" with the following
named officers: DR.. VIM. De
Kleine, President, Grand Haven (;
Richard Nj. Hoffman, Secretary,
Manistee.
The evident purpose from the
first in locating this pike was to
select the most feasible route up
on lines which indicated the ear
lest completion. From Mason
county north the road building by
townships and counties had clearly
marked the course TO be followed.
These lines would grant the larg-
est benefit to farmers and tourists
alike. Such, no doubt, We're among
the considerations which prompted
the recent legislative committee to
adopt this route as a trunk line
highway.
In the latter part of April the
Trunk Line Bill passed both House
and Senate. The West Michigan
