Prison Reform in a Nutshell.

No sensible person proposes to
sentimentalize over the law-break-
er. Call the prison by any name
you please. yet prisons of some sort
we must have so long as men COM
NIT crime; and that, from present
indications, will be for many gener-
atoms to come.
So far from setting men free from
prison, l would put more men in
prison than are there now; for we
should send up all who now escape
by the wiles of crooked lawyers,
and we should include the crooked
lawyers.
\ But behind the prison walls we
should relax the iron discipline =
the hideous, degrading, unsuccessful
system of silence and punishment
= and substitute a system that will
be fair to all men. a limited form
of freedom, and work in the open
air.
My personal observations of the
working of the Mutual Welfare
League at Auburn and Sing Sing

than ever before these doctrines

Last year the man who owned a
silo congratulated himself because
the big kraut barrel enabled him to
use every vesrige of the drouth
stricken corn crop. This year he
is just as thankful, but for quite an
other reason. Once safely in the
silo the corn crop is in no danger
from frost and every ounce of feed
ing value is saved. Of course it is
poor policy to silo immature corn
but II can safely be stored away
long before killing frost. Wet or
dry the silo is always on the job.
1t is genuine safety deposit vault
that will enhance the value of every
farm. While many@ersons consid-
er the silo chiefly an asset for the
dairy farmer some of its most en-
thusiastic supporters can be found
among the cattle feeders. While
there seems to be a diversity of
opinion in regard to the fat produc-
ing value of silage all admit that it
is mighty good ration to feed along
with grain. Then. too, we find men
on the larger farms, who keep a
small herd of work mules or horses,
feeding silage profitably even where
few cattle are kept. In fact. there
are few Missouri farmers but would
find money spent for a silo profit

ion 'Of the Missourians who own

Autumn.

There is a quality in the air

sharp GOODNESS with the sunset, a
crisp, frosty flavor at sunrise. At
night the stars shine more brightly
from a sky of luminous purple.
There is comfort in blankets, a new
quality of soundness in sleep.

Green still marks the boundaries of
field and pasture. A pool of water
catches a sudden blue from above;
yellow hay stacks rise abruptly

soft haze which dims the horizon.

New Land on the Arctic Map.

Stefansson had long believed that

could be sustained by animal food,
and his experience after parting
from the main body of the expedi-
ton fully confirmed his belief The

Der for fuel and light. Stefansson's
energetic and resourceful methods
were rewarded by the disc overy on
June Is, of land at II degrees and
43 minutes north latitude and lis
degrees and 43 minutes west longi-
tude. He saw about 100 miles of
coast line running south of east
from the landing-place, but noun
tains we're seen for at least fifty
miles farther east. And from a
point twenty miles inland bills were
seen in all directions from north to
east at distance estimated at over
fifty miles. With the exception of
a few experts on Arctic conditions
who knew Stefansson's peculiar
fitness for his task, almost every
body had long ago given up the ex-
plorer as lost The receipt of this
striking news of his discovery forms

The heavy burden is laid upon our
shoulders. The difficult task con-
