with prisoners far in excess of its
normal capacity. Intended to take
care of from ten to fifteen prisoners,
it's cells have been crowded recently
with from fifty to sixty prisoners
At p,Assent ffty-three are confined
there, while seven recently made
their escape, and being persons for
the most part charged with only mis-

been made to recapture them, as
there is no room for them in the Jail.

BRANDEIS is THE MAN.

The appointing of Louis d.
Brandeis to a place on the Uni
ted States supreme court has
been one of the boldest political
moves in the history of this
country. The announcement has
been variously received. In some
quarters the nominee is branded
as radical. In others he is ac-
cepted as a just and suitable
man.
Mr.. Brandeis has been conspi-
cuous for several years, not as a
Judge, but as an advocate, whose
special pleadings might have
c'aSsed him as a crusader. 1t is
not known of him that he has
ever shown any predictions for
the judiciary, but it may happen
in this case, as it has happened
before, that the man who is the
most militant as a partisan may
also be the most vigilant as a
caretaker of public interests.
Mr.. Brandeis is no novice at
the law, no mere tyro, no super
fetal muck-raker. He is referred
to at Harvard as one of the
greatest lawyers that great

In the corn belt states it is re-
liably stated that the average
farm flock of poultry numbers
nearly $50, while in the cotton
belt the average is not more
than 20 or % to the farm. In the
corn belt average annual income
per farm worker is double that
of the average in the cotton belt.
Now there may not be any ne
cessary connection between
these two facts, but to us it looks
very much like there is, and a
very important connection, at
that. The truth, we believe, is
that the greater earning power
of the northern and western
farmer is due to the fact he
makes every edge cut; he cashes
in on every opportunity. He
uses labor-saving machinery; he
uses more horse power and less
human labor; and he uses cattle
hogs and chickens, all his farm
will carry, to clean up the waste
products and put them in mark
etable FORM.
The northern and western far
mer long ago learned that a
goodly flock Of hens is the best
kind of insurance against store
accounts at credit prices, and
he accordingly makes Biddy pay
the grocery bill, with some to
spare. Judging from the few
nondescript hens found on great
many cotton belt farms, we have
yet to learn this lesson, and
right now, at the beginning of
1916, is splendid time to be
about it.
In the first place, let's under
stand that the Iowa or the Mis-
souri, farmer doesn't keep a big
flock of hens because he has a
better climate than we for chick
en- raising. Our winters are
mild, and there is not a farm in
the south that cannot have some
thing green growing every day
in the year.
Nor do we believe it to be due
to lack of a market in the
south for chickens and eggs. We
don't know of a community any,
where in which these products
are not saleable practically every
day in the year. They are almost
AS staple as cotton. True, better
results would come from market
ing comparatively and in large
lots. but chickens and eggs in
any quantity can practically al
ways be sold, and generally at
prices that will afford profit.
The carrying of not less than
fifty laying hens on every farm
in the south is easily possible and
would each year add many mil
lions of dollars to our wealth. A
really good hen should lay $50
eggs year; but if we make each
farm flock of so hens average
100 ogs a year for each hen, we
hav \ total of 5000 eggs, or
416 Oxen, worth. at an average
Of z . conts a dozen, S83.20-an
amount amply sufficient to buy
all the flour, coffee, sugar, salt,
etc. peeded, with some to spare.
Of course with good manage
ment there is no reason why this
amount might not be materially
increased.
Why not let's make this one

THE NEW COURAGE

the old wars. soldiers met face
to face, hacked at one another with
their short swords, drove at one an
other with long spears, used sabres
and bayonets and firearms of small
range. This close contact developed
its own kind o. courage. Men were
sustained in the battle by terrible
fury and energy.
A new kind IF courage is required
in modern warfare. Much of the
fighting is done without seeing the
enemy at all. Irwin Cobb has told of
coming upon German battery that,
after six weeks of war, had not yet ac-
tually sighted the French against
which it hourly was firing huge shells.
Yet that battery had lost more than
half its men from shots the unseen
enemy had planted. In the trench
fighting, shrapnel showered from hid
den guns, bombs thrown by hands I'M
observed sailed over the defenses, al
ways there was the chance of death
from hidden sharpshooters. When
the trench fighting is broken by an
offensive movement, there is a long
period of terrible cannonading to be
endured stoically. Then the defenders
opportunity comes. They NOW the
charging infantry with machine guns
hidden and protected.
In such warfare, there is little of
the old fury and activity to fan cour-
age to high heat. The soldier must
acquire valor that is operative in an
atmosphere which is filled with death
that cannot be seen, that cannot be
struggled with. 1t speaks for the har-
dihood of men that, under these new
and terrible forms of war, they have
not faltered or Observation-Disclosures
