NEARLY THREE HUNDRED
PAROLES WERE ISSUED
Only One Of 688 Men Paroled
Since 1918 Has Been Con-
viCted Of Crime,

Jefferson City, No. Jan. g.
The State Board Of Pardons and
Paroles has issued 588 paroles
since it was organized in March,
1913. OF this number but IL
have been returned to the prison
for violating the terms Of their
paroles. Five have run away
from the jurisdiction Of those to
whom they were paroled and
their whereabouts are not known,
save that they have left the state.
Twelve are under investigation
and have been warned that they
must mend their ways or suffer
the consequences. The total num-
Der of paroles issued this year
was 295.
This is a most remarkable rec
ord. The men who have been pa
rolled up to the close of last year
submitted reports to the board
showing that their earnings
amounted in the aggregate to
some $4,000, another mark of
merit to the credit of the system.
Of the released 588 men from
the penitentiary on paroles since
March 1918, but one has been con-
victed of a crime against a per-
son. He violated the Mann act,
and is serving a term in the feder-
al prison at Leavenworth.

Beer Drops 1856, 493 Barrels

jefferson City, Dec. 31.-The
receipts of the beer inspection de-
partment in 1915 amounted to
$4lO,4 93.S8, the smallest amount
collected by this office in one
year since 1906. The amount is
short of the 1914 receipts by
$77, $500. Reduced to barrels,
these figures mean that the peo-
ole of Missouri consumed 1896, 1913
barrels less in 1915 than in 1914.
"The year 1915 has been one Of
the worst in the brewery bust
ness" said Inspector T. S. Mosby
today. According to the inter.
nal revenue offices on December
l, the beer production of the
United States was more than 6
million barrels short OF the
amount produced for the same
period of the preceding year.

Hogs Like Rape.

A forage which is cheaply and
quickly obtained by the man who
is short of a crop on which to
pasture his hogs is rape. It grows
fast, is sweet and juicy and the
hogs like it. A cold, backward
spring that holds back other
crops does not discourage it, as it
enjoys cool weather and may be
sown in the early spring just as
soon as the land will do to work.
Then later, when has clover upon
which to turn his hogs, he may
spare the rape and it will be
ready to furnish more pasture
when the clover fields are pretty
well eaten down.
Although it does best when
sown in the early spring, it may
he seeded at a later date and, in
fact. some men recommend two or
more sowings in order that the
hogs may have fresh forage at all
times. Usually an acre or so is
enough for the average quarter
section farm, and even where
there is an abundance Of clover
it is an appetizer or a. relish
which is both enjoyed by the hog
and profitable to the owner,
Farmer and StOckman.

Indian Chief Tries to Die.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 2.-Ogallala
Fire, 90-year-old Indian chief
said to have been a leader in the
Custer massacre, until recently
employed by a moving picture
concern here, attempted to take
his life today with razor. AT
the hospital the chances of recov-
cry were said to be slight.
Ogallala made his home with
an Indian family here. He had
been respondent for some time
it was said, because of failing
health, which changed him from
a fine specimen of Indian man
hood to a bent and emaciated
being.
The Indian chief according to
his friends, was once a companion
of Rain in the Face, Spotted Tail,
Rain Cloud and other chiefs, and
was also the possessor of five
wives.

Keeping Pacs With Wireless

Modern inventions, such as thu
wireless telephone, are regarded
as more or less miraculous BY
those who are not in close touch
with the scientific world, but
wonderful as is the progress be-
ing made in the scientific world
says the Former and Stockman
it is scarcelessly less remarkable
thanAthe progress being made in
the agricultural world. Scarcely
week passes in which some new
record is not made by the dairy
COW, which produces nearly a half
a ton of butter and ton or SO
of milk in a year, where but a few
years ago the COW which gave suf-
ficient milk to make pound of
butter day was regarded as a
wonder, and the average cow
gave barely enough milk to sup
port her calf.
Just a few days ago the agri-
cultural world was startled or
had reason to be surprised at the
advent of the 300.egg hen. By
careful breeding it has been
found possible to produce a hen
which will lay nearly an egg a
day throughout the year, where
the jungle fowl, from which the
present hen is descended, laid but
some dozen or more eggs in a year
and spent most of her time chas-
ing insects. At present a good
hen of an egg-laying strain will
in a single year, lay five times her
body weight in feed.
We now have tractors WHICH,
with a few gallons Of oil, will do
in day as much blowing as sew
eral horses could do in a week.
Such modern agricultural tri-
umphs should prove a stimulus
and inspiration to every man who
farms, regardless Of the kind of
farming he follows. With prog
ress being made along all agricul-
tural lines, each man should
strive to improve his own agricul-
tural output and to increase his
own production along with that
of this farm.

Will it be believed five yea,
hence that in a Christian country,
with the most appalling war in
history ravaging Europe and count
ing its direct victims by millions,
and it's indirect sufferers by the
total census of Christendom, that
the words, "He kept us out OF
war;" are used as a jest, as a sneer,
as a reproach to the President of
the United States? Incredible as
it will seem, the records will brand
forever upon the Republicans,
from their candidate down, the
awful fact that Mr.. Wilson's sue
cess in keeping the country out OF
war was howled from a hundred
platforms and thousand news
papers as a reason why he should
be retired to private life.-Phila
delphia Record.

a REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG.

Nothing SO forcefully reveals the
desperate situation at the Repupncan
National Campaign headquarters as
their attempt to discredit President !
Wilson'S Mexican policy by Movie
picture directed by pardoned convict
whose idea of a thrill is a scene
showing nuns being ravished ana
hose conception Of patriotism is the
President asleep at his desk.
But after all, the principal Is re-
sponsible for his agent. Hal Reld was
only trying to earn the $4,000 appro-
nriated by the Republican Natlonal
Committee for a film, which now
stinks SO they don't want to get WITHIN
smelling distance of it. And they ex-
cuse themselves by saying they never
knew it would be SO rotten! Tne point
Is tbis-it wasn't too rotten If they
could get away with 1t. They were
caught in the act Of trying to put It
over" They were caught In the act
of irving to deny responsibility Tor It.
Does any one believe that Hal Reid
went ahead with the faxed false MIN
before he had had his scenario y. ho.
Nv some one in authority at Republic
an Headquarters? Everett Colby's In
dorsement. 'Tt's corker," is sufficient
proof of this.
That If was in execrable taste or
even treasonable-what was that TO
this crowd which has nothing to spend
but money! The whole sordid affa1r Is
a fit parallel to the Rum. Romanism
and Rebellion campaign which proved
such a boomerang to the parties That
started it. What can you expect OF
party which campaigns on abuse, Will
fication. slander, innuendo and lies!
We agree with the Brooklyn Eagle in
wondering 'if there was anything IN
this film that was not more than sug-
gested by Colonel Roosevelt In his
many attacks upon the Presidents
Mexican policy? He has proclaimed
President Wilson responsible for the
conditions that he described. Others
have done the same. In view of this
why should the playwright be blamed
for adapting the material to his medi-
um? Can 1t be that the villifiers OF
the President had to see these things
on the screen before realizing how
truly despicable this form of attack
appears to most people?"
The exposure of the character of
this putrid film should, says the Even
ing World, prove sharp lesson to Re
publican campaign leaders. "The
whole affair puts stigma upon Re
publican campaign methods"

Government Urges Use OF Blight
Killed Chestnut.

According to the Forest Service
there is no reason why farmers and
other woodland owners in the, East
whose timber has been attacked by
the chestnut blight should not make
use of the killed and infected timber.
Such material, it is claimed, has been
found after three years trial to be
as durable as that which the blight
has not attacked, but should always
be peeled before being used.
Experiments conducted at Water
bury, Connecticut, and Mt. Gretna,
Pennsylvania, to determine the
value of the diseased wood have
shown that blight-killed and infected
chestnut is just as durable as the
healthy timber and is consequently
equally valuable. These experiments,
say the foresters, show that there be
no hesitation about using wood af-
fected by the blight for any purpose
to which chestnut is suited.
The material used in the exper'
ments consists of posts, poles, and
ties, both from infected and healthy
chestnut After three years use the
infected timber is as sound A3 tnat
which was not infected. Even the
LESSONS caused by the attacks of the
blight have withstood decay, excepl
below ground, it is reported. All of
the material used was found to be in
good condition, except for the de-
terioration of the knots and of the
sapwood, which in, the chestnut is
not durable.
The blight-killed timber which had
seasoned on the stump for several
years and which had lost its bark has
proved more resistant to decay than
healthy wood from which the bark
was not removed. No difference be-
tween peeled pieces of timbr, infected
but not killed, and healthy material
could be distinguished.
No one should make the mistake
of thinking that the hlight-killed
timber is worthless, the roresters
say. Farmers can effect consider
able economy by utilizing material
of this sort for poles, posts, fencing
and the like, while lumber sawed
from blight-killed trees is in no way
inferior to that from healthy trees

MRS. ANToINETTE FUNK.

In his refusal Mr. Robins indicated
that he would decline all offers to
match logic with opponents on the
question of Progressive activity in the
presidential campaign.
Mrs. Funk is lawyer In Chicago
and was one of the prominent leaders
as Colonel Roosevelt remained at the
head Of it. She and Mr.. Robins fought
side by side for Progressive principles,
and she was one Of the most active
campaigners for Mr.. Robins In the
senatorial campaign in Illinois two
years ago.
Mrs. Funk now is member Of the
Associate Committee Of Progressives
cooperating with the Democratic Ma
tional Campaign Committee. She put
her challenge to Mr.. Robins on the
high ground of public service, asking
that her former associate submit the
case of Wilson versus Hughes to popu-
lar juries.
In her letter to Mr.. Robins Mrs.
Funk said:
"In 1912, endorsing the Progressive
party with my whole heart, l left be-
hind me tradition of middle western
and New England Republicanism, and
when the end came in the Auditorium
last June l followed Theodore Roose-
velt to the door of the Republican
camp with faith that the Republican
party of 1916 was in somewise differ
ent from the Republican party of 1912
that he and you and condemned, and
l waited for sign that would point
the new way.
"It did not come, but events mo-
mentous in their import did transpire
and against my inclinations and ira
ditions and against my associations
and prejudices ! was forced in honesty
to myself to admit that Woodrow Will
con, greater than his party, leader Of
his party, had in large measure kept
for the Proeressives their contract af-,
firmed by them and entered into with
the people.
II am inviting you now. Mr. Robins,
to Join me in series of debates, the
question to be resolved and the ar
rangements to be made through our re-
spective committees, such debates to
be held during the campaign, it being
understood that the resolution of the
question shall comprehend all matters
properly at issue in the minds of Pro-
gressives seeking their political afalia-
tion for 1916"

PRAISES WILSON'S STAND
in BEHALF OF SUFFRAGE

The action of the National
Woman Suffrage association at
Atlantic City, N. j., In rejecting
by an overwhelming vote the
proposal to make the suffrage
movement a partisan annex of
the Republican campaign was
further emphasized by DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, 1.-The sage Of suf-
frage," In an interview published
in the Philadelphia Press. a
stanch Republican organ.
'.The president in his speech to
the convention promised all he
could carry out" said DR.. Shaw.
'If he had promised more we
would have known that he could
) not carry it out.
Not the Republicans alone,
nor the Democrats alone, can
bring suffrage. Ii it could be
done that way would favor 1t.
But it can't. We must get
enough Democrats and Repub-
licans together to do it."
