II was apparent to Miss Davis that tie
first duty OF society was not TO punish
the girl With a line or imprisonment but
10 find out the cause CT her fatal choice
and provide for her both a way OF escape
and the strength 10 rake advantage Of Il.
This IS what the Bedford Reformatory
has been doing under Miss Davis's wise
strong. inspiring guidance and control.
She was inspired by the feeling OF good
will and the possibility OF real hope for
those who had been regarded as hopeless.
But Miss Davis is not a sentimentalis,.
She has no false notions OF life, and STE
does not think the remedy for wrong
doing is coddling the wrongdoer.
There are no prison walls around about
the Bedford yard. yet attempted escapes
from Bedford are rare.
The work that Miss Davis will accom-
plish in the so much wider field included
in her new duties will lie one OF the most
interesting things to watch in the whole
Mitchell administration.

earned over 81, $1,000, and out OF their
earnings have saved more than s2o,Vp
In recent typical month out OF 40
r-en on parole, not one was idle; ana
their aggregate earnings for the month
were Just short of sl1.Cco.
A recent report OF the New York Prison
Commission showed that since 1900 nearly
1000 prisoners had been paroled. of whom
roughly three-quarters had compiled with
the terms OF parole-which require, at
lowest, that the man shall keep SOBER
keen at work and make periodical re-
ports.
These figures" the report adds rather
raTyely. "show that, except for parole,
our prisoners would be congested beyond
reason

This is just where Miss Davis and the
Bedford Reformatory stepped in. Miss
Davis brought the girl into an atmosphere
not merely Of cleanliness and Of industry
but of hopefumess. Miss Davis put be-
fore the girl an open door. She inspired
her with courage to believe that she could

FEED MILL ON FARM
Is A HANDY THING
Grinder Is One of Best Economic
ers Farmer Can Own for
Preparing Grain Feed.

On any farm where there is stock
to feed, whether cows, sheep, hogs or
poultry, the feed mill or grinder is
one Of the best economizers Of food
one can have. These mills are made
In various sizes and suited to the
large or the small farm. With such
mill one is in position to give va
riety in form of feeding that is i'm
possible unless one is prepared to buy
various kinds OF ground food.
Where corn constitutes the main
food, as is the case on most farms. it
is plain to see that it is not advis-
able to feed 1t in the same form all
the time. With the feed grinder it
is possible to mix the several ground
grains in small quantities which one
would hardly buy. Where poultry
keeping is part of the farm indus
try there will be found abundant use
for the feed grinder and it will pay
good profit on the investment.
