Honporkers OF Dynamite
Conspiracy Ask Parole

Leavenworth, Kan.-The rapidity
with which they constructed q new
dollhouse at the Federal prison here
was one Of the arguments put forward
by II structural ironworkers convicted
in the dynamite conspiracy" cases at
indianapolis. who appeared before the
Federal parole board. Having served
one-third Of their sentences, the men
are eligible for parole.
Frank NJ. Ryan, Of Chicago, ex-hesd
Of the ironworkers, was not eligible
for parole, not having served SUM-
eient portion Of his sentence.
For seven years the prison manage
ment had been trying to get the cell
house built. When the ironworkers
arrived in the prison. Warden Morgan
explained the situation to them and
put them to work. Ryan was made
foreman. Within six months the iron
work on the dollhouse was compelled.
Only one Of the men who applied for
parole failed TO do his share in the
construction work. That man was
Hockin, and he was willing to help,
but the others objected because Of the
part he played in the prosecution Of
the ironworkers by the government.
Hockin has been tending gate in the
prison yard.

London-Dozens of Catholic priests
were murdered, some being tortured,
and the churches in numerous commu.
mites were wrecked and profaned by
German troops invading Belgium, &C
cording to detailed charges given out
here by the official press bureau Of the
war Office at the request Of the Belgian
legation in London.
The statement makes the declara-
tion that members of the clergy have
been exposed to special indignities at
the hands of German soldiers. In the
diocese of Liege, Namur, Malines and
Client many priests and others con-
nected with the churches were either
shot or hanged. Many other priests
were carried off TO Germany, where
they appear to have been subjected
to abominable usage"

Officials Watch Bread.

Washington, D. C.-Department Of
Justice officials have expressed interest
in reports that the price Of loaf Of
bread was about to jump from 5 to 6
cents in New York, Chicago and pos
sibly other large cities. No complaints
had reached the department, however,
and no action is in immediate prospect.
Attorney General Gregory has kept a
close watch on any efforts to increase
the cost Of living through combina-
tions of producers in any lire, and it is
considered certain that rise in bread
would be looked into at once.

CONSIDER THIS MIR. MER-
CHANT.

Don't advertise if you believe
you are wasting money. Let your
competitor waste his money on
advertising and perhaps in this
way you will "put him out Of
business" Fix his clocks for
him. Just stand back and LAUGH
at him when you see him souan-
dering his money for ink. Once
there was a boy named John. We
believe his last name was Wanna
maker, or maybe it was Money
maker. Anyhow his name was
John. with some sort of maker
attached to his last name. He
owned five yards of calico, three,
pairs of jean pants, half dozen
pairs of home made socks and five
pairs of boots. He called this a
dry goods store through Phila-
delphis paper and offered to sell
a pair Of socks for 80. cents. The
didn't believe in advertising mer-
chants made fun Of him. Young
John spent sos with the Phila-
delphia Ledger to advertise just
one time on less than 800 worth
of goods. He was cautioned by
the merchants who knew it
didn't pay" It was through
sympathy. they said, "for his
poor mother, that they offered
him advice" But John didn t
listen to them, and went and blew
his money foolishly and today
poor John sees the result of his
misdoings-he has so many large
dry goods stores that he can bare
ly find time to study his Sunday
school lesson.-Booster.
