A LIGHT IN AN AUTOMOBILE.
Use One of the Spark Plugs When You
Have No Matches.

Have No Matches.
Did you ever while making an auto
mobile tour find yourself on lonely
country road, perhaps miles from the
nearest house, and suddenly discover
that you had no matches? If you
were anxious to light the lamps or ca
ger for q smoke such discovery
would not prove at all conducive to
the smoothness Of your temper
There is q simple way in which any
one may secure light without the aid
Of matches. You may be anxious for
a smoke or it may be getting dark and
you want to light your lamp, but in
any event you can secure the neces-
sary light If you will follow these di-
rections:
let it lie on the cylinder head. Wrap
small wisp Of waste around the end Of
any small stick of wood or if there is
none handy wrap 1t around the end of
a screwdriver or any other tool. Dip
the waste in the gasoline until it is
thoroughly soaked. OF course you
should have only very small piece of
waste; otherwise the blaze will be too
big for you to handle. After dipping
this in the gasoline lay it close to the
spark plug and turn the engine over I'M
til this plug sparks. This will ignite
the waste and yeu will have d little
torch sufficient for lighting your lamp.
Even If there In a heavy rain or snow
you can secure a Light In this manner
sufficient for your needs.-Detroit Free

Fear Of Old Military Service.

A prisoners appeal to the court of
criminal appeal for longer sentence,
although the first on record before
that tribunal is not altogether unpar-
alleled at the assize, for Offenders who
have had the advantage of inside
knowledge of the working Of the pris-
ons acts have been known to ask the
judge to give them penal servitude IN
stead of short period of hard labor,
They shrink from the more Spartan
diet and severer restrictions that at
tach to the nominally lighter sentence.
A century ago, when capital punish
ment was inflicted for many trivial
crimes, prisoner was sometimes Civ
en- a choice-death or service in the
army or navy. And the services iii
those days had such terror for some
criminals that many elected to be
hanged instead Of serving their cOun
try.-London Spectator.

FIRE AT ROGERS.
FIourins Mill Destroyed Early Fri
day Morning.

Rogers May This morning be- tween 12 and 1 o'clock fire destroyed the big flouring mill at Rogers. The loss will run up to $35, 000-$25, ,000 on the property and $l0,000 on the stock, with $20,o00 insurance on both property and stock.
 The origin of the fire is not known. The Rogers fire company did spIen- did work and prevented the fire from spreading to other buildings, as the rain of fire and embers was start- ling and profuse and it required the most persistent and hard work to con. fine the blaze 10 the mill property.
 The stock of the Rogers Milling Company is principally owned by MT. II. L. Stroud and half interest of it had just recently been bargained for by c. W. Lee Of Bernice, Okla, who was to take possession as soon as an invoice could be taken

Rear Admiral Fletcher's Story of
 Navy's Occupation of Vera Cruz.

Navy oCCupdtlO1 or vera CIQZ,
 Vera Cruz, April Military men say that Rear Admiral Fietcher's or der transferring the command to Gen. Funston today will remain calssic In q few words he narrated the history of nine strenuous days, from the landing up to the last min Hte The order is as follows:
 Headquarters, United States Naval Forces on Shore, April 30, 1914.
 Division Order;
 The naval forces occupying the |City of Vera Cruz will at ? D. m. April 30, 1914, withdraw and turn the command of the city over to the ar my.
 The navy landed at II o'clock a. m. April 21, 1914. From shortly after landing our men were under an al- most continuous fire until S:30 o'clock in the morning of the 22d.
 At that time when all organized au thority in the city had ceased to ex is4 the order was given to advance through the city.
 The brigade under the command of Capt w R. Rush, United States Ma ", had to fight their way from street to street against a stubborn rifle fire from housetops, windows, steeples and places of concealment in all parts of the city. At Il o'clock a. m. the city was in their possession.
 The splendid advance Of our men in the morning, after being under fire all night, was deserving of the high est praise, and the accurate and time- ly gun fire of the Chester, Prairie and San Francisco in the harbor showed effective cooperation ashore and afloat.
 The praiseworthy conduct of our good order and in restoring confidence among the inhabitants of the city af- ter the fighting reflects the greatest credit upon the discipline and re- soureefulness of the men of the na " and marine corps.
 In nine days work the City of Vera Cruz was occupied by the navy, law lessness and disorder suppressed, II 900 firearms taken possession of and a line of defenses established around the city against an army threatening to reeapture it. Business was resumed and normal conditions restored
 The municipal government of the city has been established under the control of it's people, and a civil government formed to carry out the laws of the state and federal govern the landing of the army and for the relief and withdrawal Of our own forces.
 The officers and men of the naval forces deserve the highest commenda ton for having done this work com pletely and having done it well. The highest honor is due to those who gave their lives.
 In withdrawing my command from Vera Cruz I wish to extend to the officers and men who took part in it's occupation the deepest appreciation of their gallant conduct and support.
 In turning our work over to the army the navy extends its best wishes and good will.
 (Signed) Frank F. Fletcher, Rear Admiral United States Navy, Commanding United States Naval

RELIC OF BARK AGES.
Americans Take Charge of One of
 Mexicos Prisons.

Vera Cruz. April 30.-Rear Admiral Fletcher's decision, announced yes terday, to remove all prisoners from the fortress of San Juan de Uloa, known for centuries as perhaps the foulest prison on the American con- tinent, came after an examination had been made by H. 0. Stiekney, in spector of the port and the customs, who occupied the place, and by off cers especially detailed for the work. This prison, constructed in the form of an island in the harbor, held more than 400 prisoners, 300 of whom al ready have been released or trans ferred to other prisons.
 The inspection by the American au- thorities verified tales that had been written and told for generations of the terrible conditions prevailing there Many dungeons were below the waterIine when the tide was run hing in, at which time the inmates, many of whom were half blind on ac- conn of their long incarceration in semi darkness, were drenched Other dungeons were so constructed that it Wal Impossible for the victims to lie down. Ancient devices Of torture were discovered and there was eyi- dence that these recently had been i'll use.
 Among those held in confinement were men once of prominence but whose names now almost have been forgotten, men who had been there sc long that their minds were blank and men so enfeebled by the treatment they had received as to insure their transfer to hospitals instead of to prisons.
 fne appearance of the prisoners was pitiable Emaciated creatures stum- bed forward to thank the inspecting 0 ficers for their delivery Long boards in many cases were matted over dirty countenances on which once the fashionable element of the Federal capital had looked, for many of those imprisoned were once promi- n ent in society, in politics and in the army.
 Each succeeding administration per petuates the use of this ancient fort. ress as a prison-a use to which it was put by the Spaniards. The late Francisco 1. Madero inspected the prison just prior to his taking charge of the government at Mexico City. He was mortified by what he saw ane declared with much selemnity that his first official act would be the re- moyal of the prisoners and the con- version of the fortress into an arsen- al. He did go so far as partially to prepare military prisons near Vera Cruz to which he talked of removing the prisoners, but his promise to clean out the prison was one which he neglected or found impossible to keep

EXPERIMENTS In PENoLoGY

Governor Blease of South Carolina is making a experiment in
ptnology, which amounts to the elimination Of the prison. In three
years he has been in office he has freed or committed the sentences
OF more than l4O convcts and county prisoners and has reduced the
prison population of the state o less than fifty.
The actions OF the governor have been severely criticised by the
people OF his W as well as other states,s say the Sacramento Union,
but it is possible that after all the entire country ma profit by the
experiment the hotheaded governor has forced on South Carolina.
No who has studied. the prison system in general use throughout
the country cal be proud of the result. We send to prison comparatively
harmless offenders against the law and they come out hardened GRIM
inals.
In spite OF all the police forces of the country and in spite of all
the so-called corrective influences Of the cores of prisons throughout
the country, our army of law-breakers is steadily growing.
These facts would Eel to indicate that the system W. have tried
for SO many years las not been a success. In fact, many Oft the states
have confessed failure and are at work in n effort to devise some
better way of dealing with the problem OF crime.
Crime is costly to society in that it ause normou waste OF funds
in a useless battle with criminals. But it is wen Tor costly in that
it takes from productive pursuits lei and women who might be useful
members Of society.
We are not in possession of facts which show the effects of the
methods OF Blease. But it would seem that if the release OF criminals
had been followed by a carnival Of crime we should have heard plenty
OF comment on the subject Is it not just possible that Blease may be
at least as nea right as we have been lin our old system? ~
Certainly the experiment will fe interesting and of value to tie
other states even If South Carolina does pay the cost.

TURKEYS FATE

Aghast at what they term the "audacity of Turkey" the English
papers predict swift retnbuton. They foresee the disappearance of rhe
Turk from Europe and his RELOCATION to the role of a minor Asiatc
power whose dominions will be confined to Anatolia. Like all the other
organs of English opinion, the London Times es the hand OF the
kaiser in Turkeys act, and says: "a
by her foolish yielding to the instgations OF Germany, Turkey has
pronounced her w doom. The Ottoman empire in Europe will
be merely a memory. Since the Turks have resolved upon their own
destruction, W e do not regret their appearance in the ranks of 1.-THE ON
batants.
Their actso Of wa mean that, when this mighty struggle is over,
Europe will be rid Of two factors which for nor than fifty years have
been the chief menaces to the peace of the Old World. We shall get
rid OF Prussan miitarism and W e shall simultaneously get rid of the
Turks in Europe. The peoples of Syria, of Arabia, and OF Mesopotamia
will also be freed from the bighing influence OF the Turks and til
Ottoman &C will be relegated to the obscure valleys OF Asia Minor
from which it long ago emerged" @,
