THE SUPERB EMOTIONAL STAR "MADAME PETROvA"

I haled me a woman from the street Shameless, but oh, so fair I bade her sit in the Models Seat And I painted her sitting there. I hid all trace of her heart unclean, painted a babe at her breast, I painted her as she might have been' If the worst had been the best. She laughed at my picture and went
 away, Then came with a knowing nod, A connoiseur-and heard him say 'Tis Mary" the mother of God" So I painted a halo around her hair, And I sold her and took the fee, And she hangs in the Church, at Saint
 Hillaire Where you and all may see.

Remove Their Parole.

Jointists and bootleggers who have
grown to expect a parole or pardon
from the district judge or county COM
missioners upon the payment of costs
are hard hit by the senate judiciary
committee.
1t brought in a favorable report to-
day on the bill introduced by Senator
Schoch of Shawnee county abolishing
tie parole system in so far as it applies
TO violators of the prohibitory law.
The committee was practically unani-
nous in its report on the bill.
The Schoch measure grew out of a
situation in Shawnee county. Few
violators of the prohibitory have
served the full time for which they
have been sentenced and additional
time for the failure to pay fines as
sessed.
The committee" said Chairman
Price of the judiciary committee,
looks upon this bill as real bone-dry
legislation. 1t was practically unani-
nous in reporting it for passage l
understand the parole power has been
abused in its application to vioIators
Of the prohibitory law and this re-
moves the power"

the manure, the loss seems to be APP
proximately rs per cent
Here, then, is {. job for the Ameri-
can farmer, worthy of his utmost eff
fort and in keeping with the spirit
of this great hour in American hist
DRY. To save billion dollars worth
of manure is herculean task--a YER
liable latter-day Augean-stable job,
for it means the handling of literally
millions of tons of dung and litter
1t means the construction of concrete
manure pits, of paved feeding pens or
sheds, and greatly increased care in
the conservation and use of bedding
materials. 1t means lot of work, but
it is work that can be done at odd
hours and moments, and work that
will pay tremendous dividends, not
only as a war measure, but con >eiv
ably for all time, for if we once get
>the habit of making full use of our
available manure supply we are not
likely to lapse into the old, wasteful
ways again.
THE cheapest and best way to
handle manure, where convenient, is
to haul it to the field and spread ii
daily, or at least every two or three
days In this way, if plenty of bedd
ing is used, practically all the valuable
constituents OF the manure are saved
since teaching after the manure is or
arabic land merely serves to put thC
fertilizing materials where they ought
to be. In this way. too, loss through
heating or 'fire-fanging' is avoided
"Many farmers, however, are MOI
so situated as to make it profitable
for them to handle manure in thi.
way For such farmers the concrete
manure pit offers an ideal way OF say
ing manure Such pit need not en-
tail great expense. A pit 3 feet deep
