prisoners of Joliet penitentiary a dry petition to the
legislature asking that the sale of Intoxicating liquor
be prohibited in this state was thwarted by Warden
Allen.
It was asserted that 200 of the 1900 men con
victs were ready to sign the memorial to the legisla-
ture, asserting that 70 per cent of the crime in Hi
nois could be directly attributed to the use of intoxi-
eating liquors.
Although the prison authorities deny that a pc
tition' was circulated, yet it is admitted by them that
some sort of a paper was in circulation at the prison.
THE paper" Chaplain Patrick states, that was read
was simply a moral test of their real reform"
II its language is correctly quoted by the daily
press it reads very much like a petition. We give
the following quotation from it:
Your petitioners, representing the major por-
ton of the Illinois State Penitentiary of Joliet,
respectfully aver that we believe if the sale of in
toxicating liquor was prohibited by an enact
actment of laws by your honorable body, the
effect would be to reduce crime at least 70 per
cent. We respectfully pray that you will favor
ably consider the introduction of any measure
having for its object the curtailment of the sale
of Intoxicating liquor and use the great power
with which you are clothed to prohibit the sale
of Intoxicating liquor within the boundaries of
Illinois,"
The petition, if correctly quoted, ends with the
ldIl1C lIdl II COHlCS dS Tic voluntary QccQ OF d
body of earnest men acting entirely on its own in
i~tiative."
Just why the warden should have objected to the
circulation of such a petition is not quite clear. That
the inmates in the penitentiary still possess the con-
stitutional right of petition, few will deny. What
possible harm could come to the institution from such
a petition? If, as the warden states, 'the penitentiary
is trying to solve the problem for the betterment of
its inmates and for their future welfare" the action of
the prisoners should have been encouraged rather
than prohibited.
No one is better able to give reliable testimony
regarding the cause of crime than the criminal him
self, and the legislature whose duty it is to legislate
in such matters needs just such testimony for it's
guidance.
A few years ago in the state of New Jersey 5000
voters went in a body to the state legislature to par
ticipate in a hearing on a local option bill then pend
ing in that body.
Undoubtedly the strongest plea was made by a
man of probably fifty years, who spoke as follows:

Not Dead Yet

The Freeport Liquor Dealers Association has
given out that it will be inactive during the period the
town is dry. 1t is a significant fact, however, that the
organization has decided not to disband. This means
that the Civic League, the dry organization, will have
its hands full at the end Of the present dry period.
1t IS now time to commence the work of wedding out the
representatives of the Ant-Saloon League who are candidates
for the legislature at the coming election Champion of Fair
Play.

was made by a COW owned by Mr..
Avery Of New York, Rose III. In
twelve months she produced 1882
pounds of milk and S31 pounds Of but
ter, showing her milk to be very rich
in butter fat.
The essential characteristic OF Short
horns is beef. but beef breed that can
show a herd with more than forty
cows with milk records ranging from
10000 to 1922 pounds is worthy Of
the careful consideration Of men who
want cows that will pay their way as
dairy animals aside from their ability
to produce profitable beef animals.
Such cows are we'll suited to present
day farm conditions. and the demand
for such IS rapidly increasing. and the
men who ~ producing cows with
good milkN qualities and acceptable
beef form wilf-ffaFe a profitable mar
ket for their surplus.

Those opposed to the calling OF

up the idea OF carrying the question
of the validity of the petition filed
with the county commissioners into
the court.

granted the petition aud ordered the
election to be held IL March. Attor-
ney James V Hawkins. who appeared
and argued against allowing the petit
tion, gave notice Of an appeal to TIE
courts from the commissioners order.
he WAS given twenty days in which
to perfect his appeal.
That time expired Saturday and
no steps we're taken towards project
ing the appeal aud It Is understood
tina, the "wets" had come to a de-
oision to make no attempt to prevent
the question coming TO a vote at this
time. They argue that an election
on the question Is bound to come
sooner or later aud believe that Il
will be easier to defeat the PROPOSE
tim at the polls at the present time
than at any other.
They have formed a campaign com.

vigorous campaign.
As the matter stands now both
sides are thoroughly organized and
both appear TO be confident Of carry.

AS

From the very origin Of the breed

them TO the favorable con
of farmers and stockmen.
and IL Is this dual capacity for beef
and milk production that has made
them so popular. writes B. D. Cowan
in the National Stockman. AS beef pro
ducers they are known over the civil
lized world. but their dairy qualities.
though excellent when properly devel-
oped, are not so well recognized.
At the present day the large herds
that supply the city Of London with
milk and butter are composed quite
largely and In some cases exclusively
Of Shorthorn cows. either pure bred or
high grades. To some extent this Is
also true in New York and New Eng
land.
The best milk record of any Short
horn COW is that Of Rose OF Glenside,
made under the auspices OF the Penn
sylvania Agricultural college. During
a test of twelve months she produced
1903 pounds of milk and 1856 pounds
Of butter. an average Of two pounds OF
butter per day and 49.5 pounds OF
milk

Parasites and Colds Common Cold
Weather Ailments.
Sheep are not subject to many win
ter ailments that cannot be prevented
If proper precaution is taken in ar
ranging barns and yards and feed
ing suitable foods in the right proper
lions, writes l.. j. Meredith in the Iowa
Homestead. One of the best treat
ments for sheep that are suffering
from common winter ailments is a
purgative. Few flock owners appre-
ciate the value of epson salts OF pure
raw nnseed oil in reducing fever and
Inflammation. II 1t Is advisable. "a give
sheep a stimulating medicine ~ any
kind a purgative is the most 5os,1cial.
One Of the most insidious winter all
ments is a cold. A cold at tine begin
ming does not produce any serious all
ment. but as it gets a gradual foothold
it develops into more serious ailments
that use up the body tissues and weak
en- the whole system OF the affected an
imal. Catarrh. that follows a severe
cold. consists Of Inflammation OF the
mucous membrane Of the throat, nos
trils, windpipe and sinuses Of the head
In case the disease gets thoroughly es-
tablished good nursing, comfortable
housing and nutritious food will help
to give the animal the necessary vitali-
ty to regain its normal condition. This
is the only successful method OF treat
ing colds and catarrh.
Few flock owners realize the tremen-
dOus losses incurred by parasites dur
ing the winter. AS a rule, these exter-
nal parasites are unusually active dur
ing the winter. The dense fleece Of the
sheep is an ideal place for them to live
and reproduce in great numbers. Az
the parasites multiply the sheep be
come restless and begin to rub against
the corners Of the feed racks and par
tiiOns in the barns. There Is but one
method Of treatment. and that is to
eradicate the evil II any OF the ami.

per ton, and yet in one Lancashire
mill the cost of coal per indicated
horsepower, is less than seven dollars
per annum for fifty-two weeks and
siXty-siX hours each. This is said to be
below the average in America, and the
difference is due to better stoking
and more careful conservation of the
heat produced.
But American manufacturers are
learning the lesson. In the matter of
labor-saving devices, there is no doubt
that America leads the world. The eX-
perience of a large Philadelphia hat
manufacturer is a typical one. This
company installed an extensive me-
chanical system of quick delivery of
materials and finished product within
its plant. The managers estimate that
by eliminating in large measure their
old burden of trucking, and by eXpedit-
ing material in its progress through
the factories, they save every year the
cost of the entire system. Such econ
omies mean both better hats and big
ger profits.

manufacturer down to the humblest
