Give Work to Ex.Convicts.

A year ago hardly any one seemed to
want to give the released prisoner a
job. A year followed Of Mr.. Osborne
and good times, and the great change
has come. Today the special employ
ment secretary Of the Prison Associa-
ton Of New York says he Is able to
refute the statement frequently made
that discharged prisoners are returning
to crime because nobody will hire
them. In July. 1916, he reported that
every able-bodied man that applied
during the month Of June and was will
ing to work and take what was found
Wages ran from 50 to $40 a week.
One former prisoner writes that he
is getting $1S week as bookkeeper and
general clerk and is going to repay the
expenses betrayed in his behalf"
Another Of the gray brotherhood says
that he has suffered" an increase in
salary, and that he IS not kicking
about the Saturday afternoon holiday
that has been dispensed with
Good Will toward the released pris-
oner is spreading. Hundreds Of New
York merchants were asked last winter
to give employment to men just out Of
prison. A manufacturer. having taken
five men, telephoned into the Office say
ing that the men were doing SO we'll
that he wondered II they had not CIV
en- false statements as to having had a
prison record for the purpose Of Sc
curing positions.
The surge in the prisoners behalf is
not confined to any one State. Henry
Ford has at least 600 released prisoners
in his works at Detroit. Miss Rather
inc B. Davis. chairman Of the parole
commission Of New York city, has been
organizing the relief societies Of the
city into a cooperative agency for find
ing employment for men and women
coming out Of the city prisons. The
men at Sing Sing and Auburn prisons
are establishing branches Of the Mutu-
al Welfare League outside the prisons.
In another State a new relief society
has been organized by a man formerly
In prison. In Kansas the prisoners
are planning a cooperative bureau.

IT PAYS TO
Read the Ads

~ IME was, and within the memo
ries of many of us, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy Of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone Of advertising i mp loved,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed, gradual
ly, into medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

KennebeC Journal Ads
Give Practical HELPS

S advertising took on this char
n acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. usewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of "business Methods
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was lin business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judg-
naent Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are influenced
in their buying by the ADVERTISE
ments he need not worry about other
