Gardner, Jr., of the Quinebaug mills, where young Rondeau is employed. At this a recess was asked for from the noon hour to 1:S0 o'clock. =
 The hearing of the Rondeau case furnished surprise. The boy had maintained from the first that he was not guilty; that he had not touched the tire on the Gardner machine against Rondeau and admitted that he (Belido) had started to cut the tire and then went away. Eventually he ad- mitted that he had not seen Rondeau go near the machine at all.
 BeIido Had Knife.
 Young Wilson was recalled to the stand and testified that he had seen Belido with knife in his hand. He said he did not know that Rondeau touched the tire, nor did he see him near the machine at all, though he was near the theatre where the car was parked. He said he had simply re- peated what others boys had told him he talked with officers about the mat ter Tuesday.
 Another Charge
 Rondeau, weeping and much broken up over his plight, insisted that he was not guilty, and the court so found him Now a charge of cutting the tire will be filed against Belido when he appears in the superior court. The Rondeau boy had nothing to do with the other escapades the boys had been engaged in, he being really the victim of false accusations.
 Sent to Jail.
 Three men were given jail sentneccs at the session of court.
 John Smith, intoxication and breach of the peace, was sentenced to serve 150 days He appealed. Thomas Rourke, an old man with his arm in splints, was given 60 days for va grancy. William Began, who has been employed at Wauregan, coming from Fall River, was given 30 days in jail intoXication.

Finally | was told that my trouble

done for me.
About that time | began hearing
lot of talk about the new medicine,
Tanlac, and read great deal in the
papers what different people had to
say about it. Something just seemed
to tell me it was what l needed, al
though the doctor didn't think so, but
told him was going to try it any
way, as they had already said they
could do nothing more for me.
"The first bottle didn't do me mu
good as far as | coud tell. but that
didn't dishearten me, for | knew it
would take time in my case, so got
the second bottle and began improving
right away.
After this commenced eating and
my appetite increased every day. By

ROAD
BUILDING
C0NVlCTS AS ROAD BUILDERS
Need for Cooperation Between State
Highway and State Prison De-
partments Is Outlined.

THE state highway department
should hire convicts from the state
prison department in exactly the same
way as il would hire free laborers,
and at the same price per day. Dur
ing the hours of work the men should
not be thought OF as conyicts, but sim
ply as employees OF the highway de-
partment. No payment should be made
for a single hour not worked and a
man discharged should be removed at
once and permanently, while the high
way department should have no re-
sponsibility for nor authority over the
convicts at any time nor in any man
ner except 10 conduct their work or
to discharge them"
This need for cooperation between
the state highway and state prison
departments is strongly urged in a
report made to the New York state
highway department by David ]. Shor-
or, who was in charge OF the convict
road work in Green county, New York,
during the summer of 1914.
Mr.. Shorer's practical experience
has demonstrated the Importance OF
the recommendation for cooperation
between the highway and prison de-
partments In conducting convict road
work, which the national committee
on prisons and prison labor has ad-
vocated for a number OF years and has
been instrumental in embOdying into
the laws Of the state OF West Vir-
ginia.
The work in Green county, New
York, was carried on under most diff
ficult conditions. The men arrived at
the camp before the organization and
equipment we're completed. They
were sent there without regard to
their suitability for the work and al
most one-fourth were totally unfit and
had to be returned to the prison. Ar
rangements for feeding the men were
unsatisfactory, while winter made eff
cient work impossible fully two weeks
before they were removel from the
camp.
In spite Of these difficulties Mr..
Shorer reports that, taking the 60 con-
victs who were retained at the camp,
and comparing them with 81 civilians
also working at & = camp, the con-
victs averaged better than the civil

LOSS CAUSED BY ROAD THIEF

The bad-road thief forces you to

horse, harness and vehicle, often

til great and expensive delays are
occasioned. 1t also steals your oppor-
tunity to dispose of your farm when
you wish to sell, for no man will pay
as much for farm bordered by a
poor road system as he will for one
with a well-kept highway, and some
will not buy a farm at all when the
road system is poor The loss Of

ians and as good as any ordinary con-
tract gang. Under proper conditions
he maintains there will be no difficulty
in using convicts for this type Of work
with good results for the money ex-
pended.
The national committee on prisons
and prison labor calls special atten-
ton to this report and its conclusion
that two factors are essential to the
success Of convict road work. Re-
sponsibility for administration must
be placed in the hands OF those COM
petent to meet it, and the men en-
couraged through a system of rewards
so that they feel they have something
to gain through good work.

Mrs. j. D. Morrison Declares She Is
Now Well and Happy after an
Illness Of Three Years
Standinu,


Standing.
The phone rang at Morris drug
store in Ensley, Alabama, recently,
and when Mr.. Allison. of the firm,
answered. this is the message he re-
ceived:
This is Mrs. ]. d. Morrison at 1903
Avenue F., Ensley, and | want you to
ask one of the Tanlac Company's men
to come to see me, for | want every
body to know what this medicine has
done for me-"
That same afternoon the local Tan
lac representative called to see Mrs.
Morrison at her home, when she made
the following remarkable statement:
Three years ago | lost my health,
and have been sick ever since. had
chronic stomach trouble of the worst
kind and just seemed to go into gen.
eral decline. Nobody but people who
have had this awful trouble know how
have suffered.
Il tried doctors, tried medicine and
tried everything, but nothing seemed
to help me a particle. | tried dieting
and lived on liquid foods, raw eggs
and things like that until | almost
starved, but even that failed to relieve
my trouble.
81 lost all the strength had and was
a nervous wreck. | never knew what
it was to get a good nights sleep and
was nervous, feverish and restless
most of the time. also suffered
dreadfully from biliousness and con-
stipation, and was never free from
pain night or day.
"The 26th of last March | was taken
to the hospital and operated on for
what was supposed to be female trou
BILE, and when left the hospital | was
nothing but living skeleton and only
weighed sc pounds. That is the truth,
and everybody who knows me will tell
you it is a fact. The operation didn't
do me any good as far as restoring my
health was concerned. If anything, |
got worse and it just looked like
was going to die.

WHEAT.
a Successful Crop.

Winter wheat has been a very sue
cessfuI crop in all parts Of the state
the past season, The cool, moist
weather which prevailed during the
main period of growth of the crop
was ideal for wheat. Wheat is well
adapted to better soils at least
throughout the northern half OF the
state. In southern sections of the
state wheat has yielded well on the
mo.e fertile river bottom soils for
the past three years, and did well on
rplands in 1915 and 1917. Experience
has shown that wheat ordinarily Is
not well adapted TO the sandy coastal
plain soils, nor to hill soils in general,
which are low In fertility,
Wheat Or Every Farm For FIour.
The present food crisis makes it es-
sential that more wheat be grown
than ever before and On every &rkan-
sas farm at least few acres Of
wheat should be grown on Kle most
fertile land for home consumption. II
is essential that good seed and good
culmra' treatment be giyqn to insure
success.
Seed At the Rion& Time,
Wheat is best seeded about the
time of the FIRST killing frost in order
to avoid danger Of H2egar Fly The
time Of seeding win vary from Octo-
her 10 IN northwest Arkansas to No
vember % in southern sections.
Seeding with a gvan drill requires
less seed and uoually results In a
more uniform Wand especially dur
ing dry season. Five or six pecks
per acre are required with drill

OATS.
Adapted To a Wide Range of Soils
OATS.

Adapted 10 Wloe Range OF oohe'
Ordinarily for grain production the
winter oat crop is better adapted over
wider range of soil conditions than
wheat. While II is true that winter
killing Of fall-seeded oats was COM
mon in many fields over the state, es-
pecially in the northern half, the past
season, the fact remains that individ-
ual farmers in different sections es-
capped with a low percentage OF win
ter killing. In many instances the
severe winter-killing Of the crop has
been due to late seeding and to poor
preparation Of seed bed.
Seed Early.
Winter oats should be seeded early
enough in the fall to permit plants to
make a good growth of basal foliage
before cold weather, but not so early
as to permit booting to occur. The
most safe date Of seeding will vary
from September 25 in northwest Ark
ansas to about November 10 in south
ernmost sections. 1t is not wise to
risk failure through delayed seeding.
Plant With a Grain Drill.
Seed should be planted with q
grain drill since plants seeded in a
furrow are better protected from win
ter killing than those seeded broad
cast on the surface. Winter Turf
Oats should be seeded at not less
than two and a one-half bushels, per
acre, and the long-hulled strains Of
Red Rust Proof at not less than three
or three and one-half bushels per
acre. Broadcast seedlings should be
increased at least a half bushel per
acre.
q A Good Seed Bed Essential.
Winter oats planted or well drain
ed humus-filled soils come through
the winter, in severe seasons, much
better than oats planted on soils in
poor physical condition. A compact
seed bed is very important and land
should be broken considerably in ad-
vance Of the time of seeding, or at
least carefully rolled before the oats
are seeded.

ties of oats are most resistant to win
