CORN AVERAGES 60 BUSHELS.
Bumper Yield Reported on cerro Gordo
County Farm,

County Farm.
Mason City, Nov. 10.--Eighty bushels
to the acre is the average corn crop
being harvested by MIR. Charles Files
on his farm east Of Mason City. This
remarkable yield Is brought about by
doing farming according to scientific
principles. When Mr.. Files left his
home In Johnson county to come to
Cerro Gordo, he came in face Of the
vigorous protest Of his father, who
considered Cerro Gordo county next to
the north pole and predicted that the
early frosts, the hail storms, the grass
hoppers and the Indian would devastate
of crop nature that was
planted. But Mr.. Files had visited this
garden of Eden and was willing to
take chance. He has farmed long
enough to see Cerro Gordo county
more productive than the fertile lands
of the Iowa river bottoms, a greater
stock region than that picked out by
the Dutch colonists near John Cow
MES Amana farm and an atmosphere
unperfumed by the odrs of the brew
cry district of Iowa City.

the world.

and my stomach was 80 weak that
could not keep down medicine or hard

starvation that my daughter could
sasily lift me from bed and put me In
my chair.
"But weak as my stomach was, 1t ac-

time that wonderful food was tried.

sued Since Law Became Operative
Not Given Proper Encouragement. :.

Anamosa, Nov. 10.-Since the en-
forcing Of the indeterminate sentence
and parole law in 1907 there have been
paroled from the two Iowa prisons ap-
proximately S61 inmates. About two
thirds Of this number were released
from the Anamosa reformatory, the
remainder from Fort Madison peniten-
tiary. OF the total number paroled,
one cause or another and have either
absconded or been returned to prison.
The most prominent causes for all
these defections is said to be drunken
ness and immorolity. The next cause
is leaving the state without permission.
or going away from the place to which
they were paroled. The number of
parole violators given above includes
women as we'll as men, and among the
former characterization is found to be
one of the causes for their failures.
Parole Violation.
In fixing the Influences which make
for these violations of parole there is
some difference Of opinion. but 1t is
thought that among the various causes
will be found instability Of surroundings
and associates and lack of definite pur-
pose in life. There is suggestion that
as matter Of human advancement
there should be much reluctance about
putting a man back in prison unless his
of parole is very fragrant. Such
a course Is not effective as a reforma-
tory measure. And since the parole law
is based upon declared purpose to help
and to reform prisoner, it Is thought
to be a good IDEA Tor sumo member CT
the incoming general assembly to devise
q system which would reach the paroled
in way to stimulate his ambition and
create q desire for advancement.
It has been found that the majority
of men have had 1t impressed too
strongly upon them that they are of no
account. and that no matter what they
do, they are going to be condemned for
the past. Concerning actual imprison-
ment and the days spent in prison. the
penitentiary officials have tried to wipe
away that feeling. but to wholly efface
it there must be helpful federation on
the part Of the public. Inasmuch as
