If growing girls know how much fun comfort protection and valuable com panionship they can get out of mak- ing themselves pals of their fathers more of them you'd play that system.
 We've never tried either game, so maybe we're speaking randomly, but in our opinion the girl who rides on the rear side of motorcycle with her beau has got it all over the boy in the trenches for daredevil heroism and endurance.
 The trouble with some of us is that we make the inventory of ourselves with a carpenters pencil and of other folks with hair fine pen.
 The large, good-looking man al ways will be a ck-on-hisself big stiff to the small, homely man, just as the latter will be to the former a sawed-off shrimp; even if (as the They-Sayers tell ua) the Brotherhood of Man IS just around the corner.
 Speaking generally. it's the chap who owns no car at all and has no prospect of ever owning one who makes the cheap cracks about the in expensive cars of his friends. You rarely hear the fellow who owns a big high-priced car talking about "fiv- vers."

so WAGS THE WORLD
By Clarence l.. Cullen.

A girl on a porch with nice white shoes and white silk stockings can't help but consider her feet terribly fas- cinating. Watch her and notice how frequently she sneaks little admiring glances at 'em.
 Just about the time a young girl looks her loveliest with her down hanging hair embellished by a fine big fluffy ribbon bow she begins to nag her mother to be allowed to put her hair up.

anybody for the transmission of power
and why should a private individual
or corporation have the use Of it for
nothing because they own the dam
right? If the State owns the water
why should not the people of the whole
State own at least part Of the power
if they need it for public purposes for
light. heat and power for all time in
stead Of using coal as is now done in
all of our state institutions.
Unskilled short term prisoners from
the first of May to- November supplied
with plenty Of good farming land can
earn more farming than prison labor
proper; also where this same class
can be used on the public highway
where we now pay 81 or more per day,
the men in the prison work are only
called worth soc a day. From my
point of view a change in the present
system is needed. Young men COM
mitted for short terms should be given
little education If they have none
when committed SO that they may not
be turned out as ignorant as they
We're when incarcerated.
The difference in cost Of water power
and coal and the difference between
prison labor now, farm laDor and labor
on the highway as paid by farmers and
highway commissioners would mean
something to both. The prisoner now
receives at the rate of Csc a month
and at the end of his term he goes out
oftener than otherwise with Sc,
cheap suit Of clothes and sometimes
with no overcoat in the winter.
Our humane people in Maine have
mtn arrested for net furnishing blank
cts for their horses, and il many cases
ought to do so.
A prison situated near the center of
the State would be nearer self-sup-
porting as many manufactured goods
could be sold at retail prices and the
profit go to the prison, while now near.
ly all the goods are sold at wholesale
and the profit goes to the wholesale
dealer and the consumer pays the re-
tail price. The goods sold 20 a whole
saler adds just as much to the volume
If manufactured goods as though sold
at retail by the prison, cuts down the
revenue of the prison and hurts the
private manufacturer no more or less.
This does not involve politics

Wilkerson flushed. There Is one

'Dorr is to be held for killing him"
For how long:" sneered Jean. I'm
til his friends get him out. And mean
while you do rothing!"
She continued in this strain for some
time. Drake and Wilkerson modify
listening. They knew that il she once
threw the affair up they would be help
less and all their time and work and
money would have gone for naught.
Wilkerson was thinking quickly. Sud.
denly he interrupted Jean to ask for
pen and ink. She got them. and he sat
down at the table to write Drake and
Mrs. Darneil kept up desuitory con-
versation until he had finished.
There was a queer look in Jeans
eyes as she took the sheet he handed
her and glanced at the writing. II see
you still can do It," she murmured.
Read it, he growled
Mrs. Darnell read it through silently
and then aloud:
Dear Ruth-1 hate to ask you to come
down and see me in the Jail. but ! have
something very important to tell you
Bring the papers too. JOHN DORR-
Are you sure he is in jail?" demand
ed the woman when she had finished
And what is the idea of getting the
papers into his hands?"
Hell just turn them over to Ev.
erett," muttered Drake.
Wilkerson smiled slyly. The idea
is that Drake here will disguise HIM
self as chauffeur. take this note to.
the hotel. see that it reaches Ruth and
then drive her supposedly to the jail,
but really to where I'll meet him."
They discussed the plan and at last
agreed that 1t was feasible. Drako
himself saw nothing dangerous In It
50 long as Wilkerson was to meet him
and take Ruth OF his hands. He
promptly proceeded to dress himsalf
as a chauffeur and went whistling
away to a garage after receiving ex-
plicit instructions as to what streets
he was to take and where he vas TO
meet Wilkerson.
1t was an hour later that DrakS
drove his rented car up before the ho-
tel and delivered his note. It found
Ruth still deep in conversation with
Tom Kane and yet anxious for tho re-
turn to Dorr and Everett. On the
presentation Of the note which Wilker-
SOD had forged she instantly took
alarm.
John must be in trouble and Mr..
Everett can't get him out" she said.
Hes written for me to come down to
the Jail and see him and bring the pa-
pers."

man disobeyed the rules he lost his
yard privilege and was confined in his
cell, which he dreaded, as he lost his
liberty of the yard.
With the consent of the full board of
prison inspectors. early in the spring
of 1914 asked the Governor and Coun-
Gil that three extra guards be hired,
which were needed in order to give the
prisoners the liberty of the yard Sun
day afternoons and holidays, and TO
pay for them from the contingent fund,
and further that an opportunity should
be given to the prisoners to empty
their old slop pals which they are
obliged to use for the lack of flush
basins in the cells. There is no ventila-
ton in the dens called cells. The Gov
ernor and Council complied with the
request and three extra guards were
hired for six months. The good results
of this are known all over the State.
The Legislature of 1915 ought to in
crease the appropriation for guards so
as TO hire enough tor three reNefs,
eight hours each; then the prisoners
could have the liberty of the yard Sun
days and holidays all the year round,
as is sadly needed. | hope that the
legislative committee that goes TO the
prison this winter will examine closely
and learn the conditions for them
selves.
