providing a satisfactory solution of
some prison problems. 1t offers an
opportunity, for instance, of unlimited
work for convicts in field where they
compete with no other workmen, and
a class of work that is naturally
healthful and morally encouraging.
The convicts themselves regard 1t
as a real privilege to be allowed to
join the road workers, and this privi-
lege is so eagerly sought that it is con-
ducive to good conduct on the part of
prisoners. And when they are put on
road work they enjoy the life and
work so much that their restricted
parole is seldom violated, and insub-
ordination or misconduct is almost un-
known. The benefit of this work,
accrues directly to the gen.
eral public, which is a feature that at

convict labor on road work should be
to the largest limit, as it
possesses advantages that easily are

GERMANY'S BIG GUNS.

A gun that can land a 2-ton shell
twenty-three miles from the point
where it is fired is certainly a wonder,
and the ability to produce such a
weapon indicates a superlative degree
of ingenuity and skill. Yet it is claim
ed the Germans used a gun of this
character in their recent lombard
ment of Dunkirk, on the coast of
France, the mysterious shells coming
from a point so far distant that at first
there was a question of where they
actually originated, and some of the
early reports suggested these shells
might have come from German ships
lying off the coast so far they could
not be seen from the shore. Later re-
ports say that these shells came from
a monster German gun located in the
vicinity of Dixmude, back of the Ger
man trench lines in Belgium. And the
French military authorities claim to
have information to the effect that
agents of the German Krupp works
have been busy for about two months
installing this wonderful gun, said to
have a caliber of forty-two centimeters
and to be the largest gun ever manu-
factured.
Yet while a gun of this class is a
marvellous piece of mechanism. it re-
mains to be proved that it gives a
corresponding advantage to its pos
SCISSORS. The monster shells which it |
fires are of course capable of Great |
ing terrific destruction at the point
where they fall. but to hit any definite |
mark at a range of more than twenty |
miles is out of the question. And so
in the bombardment of Dunkirk we
are told that while a number of ci- |
villains have been MANNED and killed. |
and a few buildings shattered, no real
damage has been done to the military |
forces there. or to their depots of sup
plies The bombardment has sudden
ly ceased. moreover, and the French |
authorities profess to believe that the
German big gun has been put out Of !

BIG WHEAT CROP.

1t is a foregOne conclusion that il
weather conditions are favorable this
country will harvest another big wheat
crop this year, a crop that probably
will materially exceed even that of
last season. The acreage sown to win
ter wheat is considerably larger than
last year, and it is predicted this sit
uation will be duplicated in the case
of spring wheat The crop season,
moreover has started out with general
conditions more favorable than for a
number of years and. barring set
backs and unforeseen handicaps, this
nation will again have its granaries
filled to overtlowing. with surplus
that will go a long way toward feed
ing the nations less fortunate in this
respect.
And already the European nations
are commencing to buy ahead in an
ticipation of their own needs. They
have practically exhausted our old
crop surplus and are now purchasing
for delivery from the new crop when
it is harvested. Argentina is also fur
titles of wheat. of course, but reports
come of serious damage to some of the
supply of that country, due to the
crude methods of handling the inter-
ior movement of the grain. They are
lamentably short of storage facilities
in the South American land, and it
is customary to sack the grain and al
low it to accumulate in immense piles
at shipping terminals Unusually heavy
and continuous rains have affected
much of this stock this year, so that
not only has the exportable surplus
been cut down. but its milling value
has also been reduced
1t therefore looks as If there will be |
an insistent demand for all the wheat |
this nation can spare from its coming |
crop and that prices will continue at |
high level. Any widespread damage |
TO the crop would be likely to send |
the price sky-rocketing. but it is much
TO be hoped nothing of this kind will
occur. A big crop at good prices will
be better for all concerned than
short crop at fancy prices. And the
farmers of this country are making
preparations for a genuine bumper
crop, which. IL everything turns out
as the indications now point. will be
a record breaker with respect to guam
tity, and also a record breaker with
respect to its total value.
