Battlefield Mascots.

An Irish soldier who had come out
of the recent fierce fighting with Sc
we're scalp wound had the follow
ing collection of charms: Piece Of bog
oak; prayer written by n French girl;
withered shamrock; piece of wood
from saints cell.
While many mascots are presents
from mother, sister or sweetheart,
some possess no sentimental associa-
tions. Quaint little idols carved In
wood and lead, moonstones, bent coins
and teeth Of small animals are among
the treasured charms. Most soldiers
are shy Of confessing their faith in
mascots, says the London Chronicle,
but hospital nurses soon learn of these
hostages of luck.

EMPLOY PRISONERS AS FARMERS
Warden Tynan's Wards VIII BE Used
In Crop CampaIon.

Denver.-Thomas ]. lyman, war
den Of the Colorado state penitentiary
at Canon City. sent the following let
ter to President Wilson:
"Colorado's state penitentiary is al
ready actively taking its part in the
states effort to follow your advice
Grow. grow, grow 1t is using all the
available man power of its 750 pris
oners to increase the production OF
food.
las patriotic duty in this national
and international crisis, the peniten
tiary will devote practically its entire
energies to increase of the food sup
ply. The institution already has un
der lease state lands which it has
been farming with marked success
The land to be cultivated this year
will be increased 1000 acres or more
by this increased farming effort
the penitentiary expects to produce
this year considerable surplus OF
foodstuffs above the amount neces
sary for its own support. This sur
plus will be turned over to the state
for use as it deems wise.
May l not suggest, as an aid to in
crease food production, that the fed
eral government urge all states, as
well as superintendent of federal
penitentiaries, to utilize Immediately
their trustworthy prison population in
crop production according to Colora
dos plan? This would mean placing
at farm work so per cent of all the
men now confined in the prisons ol
the United States, and would put at
work on the soil many thousands OF
men now either idle or engaged in
less profitable pursuits than crop pro
duction.
at is my belief that upon a sugges
ton from you the governors of the
different states would willingly em
ploy the convicts of their states in
similar labor. The result of this EN-
ployment of the prisoners would, in
my humble judgment, prove surpris
ing in the increase of production and
the relief of mankind"
