HARRY PARKER IN DEMAND

Several items have appeared in diff
ferent daily newspapers during the
past few days which indicate that
Mr.. Harry NJ. Parker, demonstration
agent for Madison county, has made
a most commendable record in Madi-
son county, Q record that reaches be-
yond that county and that makes him
much in demand by other leading
counties of the state. The Sentinel

things and feels sure that.,Mr. Par

and satisfactory work he is doing.

Parker, though much younger than
many of them, takes rank with the
best.
Mr.. Parker was reared at Crays-
port, this county, being a son of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. W. Parker. His is one
of the best and most substantial fami-

those who go out from such a home
to make more than an ordinary sue

faction to also note that Mr.. Parker
has shown his faith in Grenada
county by purchasing a farm Of 800
acres on Red Grass creek, this
county, to which, ere long. he will
devote his best energies and talents.
1t will be interesting to many to
know that this Red Grass farm was
sold thru W. S. P. Doty, Grcnada's

JOE MEYER FOR MUNICIPAL

Judge Joe Meyer is we'll liked by

only that, he is fair to everybody and
he tries hard to help men and women.

TO the Citizens of Des Moines:
/ am a candidate for Municipal

Eeve in the modern, scientific, human
itarian, civilized view Of crime ana
criminals. A man who thinks Of
crime and criminals in terms Of an
cient criminology is unworthy to sit
on the Municipal or any other judicial
bench. The old view considered the
offense, giving little thought to the
offender. All criminals were judged
by fixed standards. Heredity and
environment were disregarded.
Youths and accomplished criminals
were herded together. Reformation
was hardly thought of. But the mod
ern view interprets the crime in the
light ola scientific analysis of the
criminal, and then applies the remedy
for both the protection Of the people
and the reformation of the offender.
The NATURALIZATION of penal treat
ment is the great truth for present
day criminal ccience. I am pledged
to this modern, scientific, humanitar-
ian, civilized view of crime and GRIM
inals. The judicial bench is sym
boil of protection for the people, and
it should also be a symbol of SYM
pathy and help for the offender.
