Guards Are Used In Colorado, but
Few Convicts Have Tried to Escape.
At the fourth American road CON
gress at Atlanta last November there
was q too brief discussion of the en-
ployment Of convicts on public roads.
But since the participants gave actual
experience rather than untried theories
we may overlook the lack of some de-
tails, says the National Stockman and
Farmer.
Two objects are in view In the work
ing Of cOnvicts on roads-the welfare
of the men and the improvement of
the highways. Experience shows that
both objects are attained, but that road
work Is a greater success from the hu-
manitarian than from the economic
standpoint.

Or. Forbes listened to the reading Of
this extraordinary missive with close
attention, which nevertheless did not
prevent a professional consideration of
the manner displayed by Wainwright
under circumstances so unusual and 80
sinister. He observed with keen ap-
probation the fundamental strength
with which his friend net the attack.
The anger was no more than an EVIL

injustice.
Under that furry Of wrath the char
acter Of the man showed undismayed.
The physician found a new satisfaction
in his friendship. Since his vocation

Value Of improved Roads.

The road question is the biggest
problem before the people Of the Unit
ed States today. Everybody recognizes
the value of improved roads. The
farmers all know 1t. the owners OF
good horses appreciate 1t. and the auto
mobile enthusiasts dream about It.

WAGE BOOTLEGGING WAR
Roberts County Investigators Level
Fire at blind Pigs

Sisseton. Feb. 9.-In accordance
with the program of Sheriff Minder
and States Attorney Jorgenson of
Roberts county, in declaring an open
season on blind pigs" and bootleg
gers in Roberts county, numerous ar
rests have been made and heavy fines
imposed on those convicted of selling
liquor in violation of the law. In
some instances jail terms have been
imposed in addition to the fines.
So relentless is the warfare of the
two county officers against this class
of law breakers that it is expected in
the hear future the last of the blind
pigs" and bootleggers will be driven
out of business. Nearly a score of
lei have been arrested by the two
officers since the first of the year for
illegal liquor selling.
Morris Winters, Max Wagner and
John Ostrus of Claire City, a Roberts
county village, were arrested last
week. Wagner is a liveryman and
Ostrus is proprietor of a meat mar
ket. When taken before Judge Bouck
OF the state circuit court, the three
defendants entered pleas of guilty.
Winters was fined $50 or twenty-five
day in jail; Wagner and Ostrus each
were fined $3.50 and sentenced to
terms Of thirty days in the county
tail.

Philadelphia, Feb. 9.-It was on
February 5, 1870, that the first NOV

This great invention had its early
troubles, and it was many years be-

camera to register on it's miles OF

Back in 1870 the flexible ribbon

were unknown and it was necessary
to limit the views to those which

Sioux Falls, Feb, 9.-The Master
Bakers Association of South Dakota
held their second meeting Saturday
evening in the Commercial club
rooms. The association was formed
January Is, and temporary officers
were elected. At the Saturday night
session the temporary officers were
made permanent. Sid Drew, Sioux
Falls, president; C. E. Yeutter, Sioux
Falls. vice president; c. w. Anthony.
Sioux Falls, secretary and treasurer.
The president appointed an executive
committee consisting of the follow
ing members:
]. F. Runchey of Madison. William
Tank of Canton and w. E. Bell of
Huron.
Owing to weather conditions and
bad train service there was not a
very large attendance, but what was
lacking In numbers was made up in
enthusiasm by the members present.
Talks were made by several members
on various subjects. Mr.. Mannix OF
the Commercial News was present on
invitation extended to him by the as
ISOLATION and he gave a very inter
esting talk on operation. BY unani-
nous vote Mr.. Mannix was made an
honorary member. After the bust.
ness meeting the members sat down
to a banquet.

Among the many resolutions Of

He wants to reduce the membership

.LESPEDEZA I5 LEGuME
 GROWN IN MANY SOILS
Steals Nitrogen From the Air and En- riches SoiI-Nutritious and as Forage Plant It Is Unsurpassed.

Lespedeza or Japan clover is an ari- nual plant, which begins growth early In the spring and continues until killed by frost. It is comparatively slow 1n growth and natures only one crop 1n season. It is a legume and like all legumes has the power of taking nitro gen from the air and thereby enrich ing the soil. As pasture plant its value is widespread throughout the South. AS hay plant its value Is only beginning to be realized, although a considerable acreage is now being harvested annually in southern Arkan- sas and in several of the Southern states. In nutritive and feeding value the crop Is known to compare well with alfalfa.
 Lespedeza grows on all types Of soils down to the poorest and is known to withstand severe drouth. It is scat tered along roadsides and in pastures, and due to it's reseeding habits, ire quently enters into Bermuda pastures of its own free will, thus making a very desirable combination. AS hay crop 1t is very well adapted to the southern counties of the state, where conditions of soil and climate are more favorable to its development. The principal limiting factor in the production of hay is the moisture sup ply. In a dry season the growth Is comparatively light on poor soils. For this reason bottom land soils which have plenty of moisture will give best results.
 Lespedeza Is usually sown in Fep- ruary or March on oats or wheat, at the rate of 20-25 pounds to the acre. The seeds are commonly sown broadcast after the small grain is up. After the oats are harvested the clover covers the ground and Is ready for harvest in September or October. If provision Is made to allow the crop to reseed, the clover will produce an other crop the following year. It Is | frequently necessary to clip back the weeds with the moving machine in or. 1 der to help the growing crop. The average yield of lespedeza where grown for hay, ranges from one to two tons per acre. Where the stand 1 Is good, ton of cured hay per acre Is figured for each six inches that the moving machine cuts. The reason for this high weight is due to the low moisture contents of the crop.

 The arsenic solution does not always kill the ticks immediately, and the en- gorged females may live for three or four days. The dip is most effective on young ticks, but regular dipping will eradicate all Texas fever ticks.
 It is practical to eradicate ticks from any part of the state, but it is best to have four or more counties in group. because 1t is less expensive to protect the counties from re-infection by cattle straying from infested coun- ties.

The worst habit that boys can fall into is that of loafing around on the streets at night. It IS then they cast their lot in slip pery places. when at any mo- ment they are likely to fall from grace. All good and noble lessons taught them by their mothers are enumerated and nullified. They learn nothing that is good but everything that is bad. The boys who spend the evenings in sacred precincts of home with good books for their companions are the future hope of this re- public; they will fill our legisla- tive and congressional halls and sit in judgement upon men and measures, while the boys who run the streets will fill our peni- tentiaries, aimshonses and luna tic adylums. Parents who are re- sponsible for these broken laws of decency will have broken hearts and bowed heads in the awakening years that will in eyitable follow. .-Ex.
