A whole block OF buildings In he

The greater property damage was
done on Wood-st, where the great
wholesale dry goods houses are To-
Gated. Fronts of several great
buildings were blown out: others
collapsed when bombs burst through
the rooms. One passenger. q prom

people were remarkably calm. A

the bus was blown to pieces, but
London boobies quickly cleared the
street. Only few pieces OF the

one of the bus victims was found a

Her record of 13,763.4 lbs. of milk

PRISONERS TO WORK ON FARM.
SCIENTIFIC METHODS TO BE FOLLOWED

"Following out this idea, some
time ago, a lease was made of
neighboring farm of about 10
acres and the success which has at
tended the effort in this direction,
has encouraged the trustees to go
further and purchase outright, ad-
ditional farm land. They have,
therefore, under authority given
by the last Legislature, purchased
three farms of total area of lit
tie over three hundred acres, sit
uated within a comparatively
short distance of the institution,
to be cultivated by the convicts,
under careful supervision.
"The trustees hope to work in
close cooperation with Delaware
College, in making high-class
model farms, which will supply a
large proportion of the food needed
for the prisons. In addition to this
valuable asset, the men employed
will be given instruction in truck
ing and general progressive farm
ing, so that upon their relase, they
may readily secure work with our
farmers throughout the State, who
now find it very difficult to get
good help. AS emphasizing the
lack of satisfactory farm labor,
we may state that the prisoners
have this fall cut and husked thou
sands of bushels of corn for our
neighboring farmers, and we hope
that with improved means of trans
portation we can, in the future, aid
many more in harvesting their
crops and in other farm work. Be-
sides this the men who have been
in the institution can, in very many
cases, be returned to the commun-
lty with reasonble hope of becom-
ing useful citizens.
There will be no attempt in this
development of the institution to
compete with free labor, and we
believe that our farmers and the
taxpayers Of the State generally
will heartily endorse our action"
