Books in Prison.

Prison literature has many fine pro-
auctions to it's credit in prose as well
as poetry. In his prison at Athens,
Socrates completed his great argument
for Immortality; In Roman dungeon
Calico made some of his greatest dis
coveries. In his prison In Wartburg
castle Luther translated the New Test
ament into the German language. Dur
ing his twelve years in Bedford Jail
Bunyan dreamed his immortal dream
of the Pilgrims Progress" Sir Wal
ter Raleigh wrote the fragmentary
history of the world to beguile the long
years of his Imprisonment in the
Tower Of London. Much of the New
Testament also is prison literature.
Some Of the finest of the epistles Of
st. Paul were written during his i'm
prisonment at Rome, and the Book of
the Revelation of st. John was writ
ten while he was an exile on the island
prison of Patmos.-LondOn Chronicle.

TRADE BRIEFS OF INTEREST
Some American Goods That Are
Needed In Foreign coun-
tries.

In 1915 the United States imported
lO,67O,SSS pounds of dried figs from
Portugal. No figs were imported by
Germany or Russia, formerly the larg-
est buyers.
American tractors have met with APP
proval during recent tests in Scotland,
says the New York Sun.
Norway's apple crop was a failure
this year. This should increase the
demand for American fruit.
Most Of Guatemala's imported pre-
served fruits, jellies and meats. are
supplied by the United States. If this
trade is to be made a success goods of
the highest quality must be supplied.
Tacks and iron hooks are needed In
Greece.
Inquiries have been received from
Colombia about automobiles, motorcy-
cles and motorboats.
Through the efforts of consular
agents In the Athens district, Greece,
orders have recently been placed in
this country for $7O,50O worth of brew
ers' supplies.
The wheat imported into Greece
since 1914 has been bought by the gov
eminent and distributed to millers. In
1915 the American wheat shipped to
Greece amounted to 294,623 metric
tons.
Bermuda expects to have a normal
potato crop.
Chilean merchants have asked for
catalogues Of mems clothing and fur
niture.
An effort is being made by Brazilian
dealers to interest American uphOIster-
ers and mattress makers in the fiber of
plant known as "saudade."
Indications are that the citron crop
OF the Patras district, Greece, will
amount to only 400 tons. A normal
crop Is about 1000 tons.
japanese coral beds have been ex.
tensively developed since the outbreak
of hostilities in Europe. The beds
yield $4,000 pounds Of coral worth
100000 annually.

Care of the cnrnfeId-

Corntields that lie bare all winter
will cost farmers thousands of dollars
through the loss Of soil fertility, in
the estimation Of W. e. Hanger, of the
Ohio state university, agricultural col
lege extension service. This Is espe-
cially true in Ruling sections. Unless
some crop is grown on this land, the
action of rain and other weatherlng
agencies will destroy unnecessarily an
enormous amount Of pIantfood. A
great deal of this waste may be saved
by planting rye. Not only will wash
ing be largely stopped, but a great
amount Of humus will be returned to the
soil by blowing under rye in the spring.
and humus is greatly needed.

Feeding Poultry.

A new device for feeding poultry
will greatly reduce the labor of caring
Tor fowls in large poultry yards. 1t
consists Of an automatic grain feeder
which distributes any kind of grain in
amounts Of from to 60 quarts at any
time during the day. II fowls are to
be fattened for market 1t can be made
to supply their food at regular inter
walls, as the mechanism includes a mas
ter clock attached to the scattering
wheel. The weight of the grain causes
pinwheel to revolve, which has a
series Of pins arranged so that each
pin releases a quart of grain. When
the right time is indicated by the clock
the grain is scattered in any desired
quantity.

prison Bill In Legislature.

The Gardner Administrations pris-
on reform bill carrying an appropria.
ton of $475,000 for the purchase of
machinery and materials, and an ap-
preparation Of $275,000 for the pur-
chase of farms, rock quarries and
grazing lands for the employment of
all convicts in the state penitenuary,
was introduced in the senate by
Senator Casey of Kansas City and In
the house by Representative James
OF Andrew county.
The bill is designed to take control
Of the penitentiary out of politics,
but it fails to provide board of con.
troll of equal partisan membership.
A board to be known as the state
prison board, to consist of five men,
bers, not more than three of whom
shall be of one political party, is pro.
vided. The members are to serve six
years, and in the beginning their
terms are so arranged that the term
OF one member shall expire each two
years and his successor be named for
six years. This will prevent any
luIulS BONeEuOT lrOm having q ma
Jcrity OF the board his own ap-
pointees.
The president of the board is to re-
ceive a salary of $4,000 a year and the
other members $4,000 a year each.
They are required to reside in JEFF
ferson City and devote all of their
time to the duties of their office.
The exclusive control of the peni-
Tertiary, the reformatory at Boon
vile, the Industrial home for girls
at Chillicothe and the industrial home
for negro girls at Upton, is placed
in the board, which will make all pur.
chases, appoint all officers and, en-
ployes and make ali rules for the con.
duct Of the institutions.

SOME HINTS FOR TEACHERS
Condensed Into Few Words, but the
Ideas They Convey Might Be
Called Sermons.

Here are some paragraphs clipped
from the Ohio Educational Monthly
that are valuable to the teachers and
everybody else:
Some teachers become disorderly in
trying to preserve order.
The goldfish keeps going and going
but it never arrives.
Sad the lot of him who becomes
chOked by the dust of his own futility.
Twenty years hence the teacher will
be, able to grade the pupil and her owr
work.
A grade book In the hands Of a
teacher is not specially aliurlng bit
of natural scenery.
There is teacher in Ohio who lacks
imagination and all his thinking and
acting is done in geOmetric squares
end rectangles.
Each of these paragraphs is enough
to justify the space of big editorial,
but In their quintessence the gentle
reader, can catch the full meaning.
That goldfish item is good-how many
goldfish are Earring around on the out
side of life? That forecast of the
teacher as the test Of pupils work
is a vision that ought to make school
work sublime. And that grade book
and natural scenery companion is
reaching toward the heights of the
spirit very fast. And the last, the
rectilineal teacher, who thinks what
he knows, and which he gets from the
textbooks, is all there is of life.-Co-
iumbus (O.) Journal.

Fire Losses Gain.


The annual report of w. K. Chorn,
superintendent of the insurance de-
partment of Missouri, just made pub
lie, declares that fire losses in the
state in 1916 showed material in
crease and cites figures showing that
the fire insurance companies made
no profit from business in this state
during 1915.
According to these figures, the av-
erage ratio of losses paid to pre-
miums earned was 65 per cent. 1t is
conceded, Supt. Chorn says, that the
cost Of doing business averages
slightly over 40 per cent Of total
premiums, which would make it i'm
possible for a profit to be earned
when the loss ratio is greater than
go per cent.
The total premiums collected in
1915 were $S,S99,567, and the losses
paid and operating expenses amount
ed to $9,470,506.

TWO COUNTIES IN STATE RE-

TWO COUNTIES COMPROMISE
Judgment Against Delinquents In
Federal Court, But Taxes Yield
SO Little Nothing Can Be
Collected.
Jefferson City.

Representatives Cox of Dallas and
Chambers OF st. Clair counties re-
ceived a shock when Representative
Bradley Of Macon, Tolson of Howard
and Collins Of Ozark introduced a
bill, prepared for them by Ewing Y.
Mitchell Of Springfield, providing a
plan by which the old railroad bonds
in those counties, now amounting to
several million dollars, may be col
lected.
Commissioners appointed by the
circuit court are provided for the as
sessment of property and levying of
taxes in those counties and the col
lection of the revenues for paying off
the bonds. Mitchell says the plan con-
templates settlement of the bond
judgments at Is cents on the 500
valuation.
st. Clair and Dallas counties were
among the counties of Missouri,
which issued their bonds many years
ago for railroad construction and af-
forwards repudiated them. They re-
fused to pay the bonds because the
railroads were not built.
Macon and Heury counties, through
compromise, paid off their bonds,
but st. Clair and Dallas have resisted
payment. Judgments have been OBJ
tanned against those counties in the
federal courts, but no money could
be collected. Each county holds it's
tax rate down to its bare necessities,
leaving nothing for the bond claims.
Two years ago similar bill was
defeated in committee.

He could get water in the shop, but
