Never Be Confidential,

re Nevof 20 C0HHoentl1t.
The Cynic, writing in the American
Magazine, says: 4
When you are talking to any one.
always assume secretive air and tell
. few matters in absolute confidence
never to be repeated This will
add q little to the interest Of your
conversation and possibly prevent
your boring your. companion to the
point of WEAKNESS. But Of course
never really tell q friend anything In
teresting, and particularly never real
~ tell him anything in confidence. II
you do he will become so absorbed in
his interest In the item Of news, that
in a week.. he will utterly forget who
told 1t to him and enter with genuine
relish into the work Of giving It the
widest publicity"

makes me tired the way you people talk! If he'd done what I told him to in the first place he wouldn't have got into this jack-pot!"
 "Oh myi" exclaimed Gracia, aghast. Why. what is the matter with you :? And what did you tell him to do?"
 q told him to mind his own busi- ness." answered Hooker bluntly.
 And what did he say?"
 "He said he'd try anything-once!"
 Bud spat out the phrase vindictively, for his blood was up and his heart was full of bitterness.
 "Oh dear!" faltered Gracia. And so you do not think that Phil Is brave?"
 Hes brave to start things" sneered Bud, but mot to carry 'em through"
 For a moment Gracia huddled up against a pillar, her hand against her face. as if to ward off blow. Then she lowered 1t slowly and moved re- lue tantly away.
 "I must go now" she said, and Bud did not offer to stay her. for he saw what his unkindness had done.
 T am sorry!" she added pitifully. but he did not answer. There was nothing that he could say now.
 In moment of resentment, driven to exasperation by her taunts, he had forgotten his pledge to his pardner and come between him and his girl. That which he thought wild horses could not draw from him had flashed out in fit of anger-and the damage was beyond amendment. for what he had said was the truth.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-01-03
BY JACK JUNGMEYER.

San Francisco, Jan, 3.-COncur-
rent with the present crime wave,
following the CONGESTION of unem-
ployed thousands here and in other
cities, the most insidious attempt is
being made to discredit CALIFORNIA;
probation policy for prisoners.
Public uneasiness has been taken
as their cue by the antagonists, who
have not hesitated at the most SEN
;ational means.
The police, nettled at swelling
criticism of incompetence, are de-
clared to be aiding certain business
men in raising the old hue and cry
against the ex-convict and the pa
rolled man.
A fragrant instance of this un-
founded attack, was sign placed in
his shop window of a prominent San
Francisco merchant, following the
burglary of his store, which read:
This noiseless glass job was done
by a parole from CALIFORNIA; sum
mer resort "
Confronted by State Parole officer
Edward H. Whyte, the merchant,
Samuel Spiro, admitted that his i'm
piled wholesale accusation was
founded on nothing more substantial
than belief that no one else could
have done the job, because only guns
were taken"
''The incident is typical" asserts
Whyte. "a strong effort is being
made to arouse public prejudice
against the system which gives the
offender another chance.
''And some peace officers, as well
as citizens, have not scrupled to fur
ther their propaganda through meth
DDS similar to that taken by this
merchant.

GOOD. this the eX-conVIct and pa
rolled man has often been sacrificed.
'As a matter of cold figures, only
about two per cent of prisoners out
on honok ever violate their trust by
committing new crimes. -.
'And at this time the per cent is
even smaller because these men, de-
spite every harassment, realize that
this is the period of their extreme
test.
1.-THE success of the 90 per cent of
honor men, against all odds, in keeps
ing straight, is often nothing short
of heroic.
Perhaps some of the critics of the
parole system do not realize the pure
ly material profits to the state of this
policy.
"In the past year, for instance, the
taxpayers of California saved nearly
$4,000 as a result of putting on
probation prisoners whose incarcera-
ton would have cost $40 per head
annually for terms ranging from two
years to a iftfme."
In the 20 years Of its operation
here, the parole system has saved the
state $1,500,000, according to official
figures. During that period 1922
conVcts have been released on trust.
Of the 631 on parole last month,
only three violated their order by
committing new crimes.

anyone actuated by honest en-
deaVor to place responsibility for the
present crime wave will not attribute
it to the policy of paroIing prisoners,
but where it beIongs-to the fact
that a great mass Of laboring people
are struggling in poverty, and that
the thousands of men out of work
and seeking employment turn to
crime against property, irrespective
of any punishment" -california

BOIL WEEVIL DESTROYER
How a Farmer in Yazoo County Succeeded in
Making a Good Crop of Cotton. He Solved
Problem of Defeating The Weevil.
(Repubished by Reques)

Yazoo City, Miss Feb. 20-G. M. Manor, a merchant and planter at
Anding, a few miles south Of Yaaoo City, has made a discovery that en-
abhd him during the last season to make a splendid crop Of cotton in
probably the worst infested boil weevil section Of the county. Mr.. Manor
feels 81 good over the success of his plan that he wants everyone else to
know OF it, in the hope that the DANA ge by reason Of the weevl infestadon
may be reduced to a minimum. "
Mr.. Aauors plan was to attach TO all the Flows as soon as the cotton
Is ready to work, a gunnysach Or other heavy cloth saturated with the
following mixtures: Lubricating oil, one gallon, moth balls, one pound,
boil together and add one pint OF tar and mix with five gallons of coal oil.
The sacks are saturated with this mjvtur, and attached TO the single
trees, and - tt plowihs So ne. the sacks dras automatically over the
plant, The :umes of the mixture arc very obnoxious to the weevil and as
the fumes stay o the pkLt a long time, the pest will not attack the
plant. AS the crop is ploSed frequently, the fumes stay oil the liant from
one blowing to the next, 81 that tho plant is thus made immune from the
rayages of the pest,
As evidence of the success of the plan, Mr. Manor made n bales of
cotton the last season with four families, while his neighbors who relied
wholly On the government cultural methods Of picking and burning the
squares, made only 23 bales, with 14famiies and three wage hands.
Mr. Manor could have gotten a great deal more cotton than he did
but for the heavy rains in September and October, which roted a great
many boHs In the field. He thinks it conservative to say that the entire
crop averaged at least a half bale to the acre.
