Mr.. Bryan talked an hour; his talk
was radically American; his sentiment

Now we can't say as much for Mr..

Ford Cars Make Profit For Michigan
Prison.

There has recently come to light an
interesting account of how Ford cars
helped make the Michigan state peni-
Tertiary at Jackson. Michigan, one OF
the two self-supporting and profit
producing institutions of that nature
in the country.
In the four years ending January /
1917. the Central Auto & Supply Com
pany. Ford agents at Jackson, have
supplied twenty-one Ford cars to the
prison management, for the use OF
the warden and other prison officials
Four years ago the only means OF
conveyance at hand was an Old-fash-
toned 'carryalI' drawn by Belle. an
old bay mare. Belle is still the prop
erty OF the prison, enjoying a we'll
earned rest. while the carriage is pre-
served as a curiosity.
The FOrds owned by the prison have
been operated during all seasons OF
the year, and in variety of duties
Most of the time, they are driven be-
tween the prison and the farms be
longing to the institution. the nearest
of which is two and One-half miles
distant, while the most remote Ii
twenty miles from Jackson. The
cars have amassed the amazing grand
total mileage of $4,000 miles in four
years Some of the cars have cover
ed as high as $4,000 miles, though the
average is about l. 900 miles per car
per season.

Slight Or Work.

That there must be no shirkers
while the Nation is in a state of war
was emphasized by Robert Grain
Chairman of the Extension Commit e
Of the State Board OF Agriculture. and
a large land owner OF Charles county,
in statement to extension workers
today. Mr.. Grain said ITO meet
the demand for food here and abroad,
believe there should be an immedi-
ate survey made in every State of the
untitled land available for crop pro-
duction. In Maryland this survey
should he made by the authorities of
the State College Of Agriculture CO.
operating with the Council for Ma
tional Defense. Each county should
be surveyed at once so that we may
know the amount of untitled land
available and what crops it is suited
to produce In time of war We can
not allow any good CrOp-prOduCing
lands to lie idle. This information
should be reported to our State Col
lege of Agriculture as promptly as
possible, through its field agents and
workers, as a matter of first import
ance to the State. This will enable
the Council for National Defense to
take immediate steps lot tllllng TINS
land and producing the needed crops.
Food production in Germany is limit
ed by the area available. In this
country We have thousands of acres
lying idle, more good farming land
unused than all the land in Germany
put together. AS soon as the survey
Of these lands is completed, the State
and Federal Governments should
make them produce. The strong
arm of the Government should be used
to provide the necessary labor to till
these lands. There must be no bread
lines in the cities this winter. Every

FIGHT OR WORK."
This plan will give us the needed
labor to work the untitled lands and
provide against a shortage of labor in
the harvest season. When the coun-
try boy volunteers, as he will GER
tainly do, there will be someone to
take his place on the farm. He will
know, too, that no idlers in the city
or country. will have to be fed with
out working while he is in the army
service. The men of the country
have been our backbone in time of
war in the past. They will be the
backbone of our fighting machine
now, but We do not want them fight
ing unless every other able-bOdied
man is fighting with them or working
to feed them, and the dependents they
have left at home. No man should
be left in the city who is not usefully
employed. If he can't fight, he can
learn to pillow, grub and pitch hay, as
we'll as the country man can learn to
shoulder and fire a gun. Neither
should an idle man be left in the
country while there is land to work
or crops to harvest. Put him to work.
When the crops on these untitled
lands are harvested they should be
supplied direct to the army and navy,
or offered to the consumer at liv-
ing price. There should be only one
buying and selling. In war time we
must have no waste of food or delay
in supplying it, where it is needed, at
the least possible cost. We must see
to it that our army is fed and our
workers are fed. There is no room
for profit or speculation between the
producer and consumer. Every man
must be enlisted as a fighter or work
er. This must be done if we are to
maintain production and feed our
people. All untitled farm lands must
be put under cultivation. The needed
crops must be titled and harvested.
Every man must work or fight"

SUNDAY TELLS THE COST
Souls At 800 In Indianapolis; Only
SIS HIM Louisville

Twenty years of whipping the devil
over the 48 States have persuaded
Billy Sunday that the old fellow
doesn't hold his grip very we'll south
OF Mason and Dixon's line, the Ohio
river and the Moonshine mountains.
It's here in the North that the original
enemy of the human race gets in his
best ticks.
Billy has the figures that prove it
! soul-saving cost estimates gathered
from source of cities. Would one
think now that the devil is more
easily routed in the city of Bourbon
| whisky, fast horses, leaf tobacco and
the prettiest girls Except LeXing-
| tom in the Z. S. A.-Louisville- than
anywhere else in the nation? The
figures prove it, 1t costs only $7o to
save a soul in Louisville, whereas in
Indianapolis, staid, quiet, literary In
dianapolis, the cost rises to $500 per
convert to Christ.
The fact is, according to Billy's eff
f1ciency sheets, the capital of Hoosier-
dom is the devils choicest earthly
lair, except for New York, where it
takes $500 to win a man from sin and
set him in the straight and narrow
road. This estimate may be subject
to new revision, however. Billy'S
three months campaign here will cost
$3.50, 900, and the new souI-saving cost
sheets will be prepared through a
process of dividing the $4,000 by the
number of trail hitters that respond
: to Billy's feryent pleas. He is in New
York for the big and principal pur
pose of showing the preachers what
! real soul-saving efficiency is. and he
expects to cut the old figures to film
ders and raise New York to the proud
position occupied by Louisville or At
lanta, where the cost is $50 or New
Orleans. where it takes 800, and to
beat Chicago's s445, Boston's $500 and
Denver's $455.-From the New York
Sun
