JAIL MAY FURNISH
 LABOR FOR FARMS.
Hartford County May Use Men
 Nov Guests on Seyms Street
Especial to the Herald).

Hartford, May 1.-The question of
 farm labor was considered at the County Caucus held this afternoon at ? o'clock at the state capitol. Tho members of the Connecticut Commit tee of Food Supply, in order to sup- ply sufficient help to the farmers. have been urging upon the. county commissioners the necessity of em- ploying the men who are now in jail as laborers on the farms. The sub ject has already been considered but final action has been deferred because the present contract of the jail au- thorities with the Metropolitan Chair company >presents certain complica- tions. The jail labor heretofore has been utilized by this concern for the manufacture of chairs and it Is an open question how far the county commissioners may be able to go in diverting those under their care to outside work.
 Those favoring the employment of men now in the jail believe that the present emergency Is sufficient to de- mand some modification of the exist ing contract, and believe measures can be taken by which the men will be released from their present em- ployment to do work on the farms.
 The Hartford jail houses on the average S60 prisonerS of which num- Der seventy per cent. it Is estimated, would be available for this service. It Is recognized that 1t would be a distinct advantage. not only to the men, but to the county in a financial way to allow them to work outdoors. The present return to the county for work per individuar is only eleven cents per day, while outside employ ment would undoubtedly furnish not less than $1.25 per day per man. Prisoners under proper supervision would be able to produce enough food products to. supply their own needs and thus the burden, of expense as we'll as the drain upon the food re- sources of tho state would be lifted.
 Fred c. Grinnn's recent offer to the county of farm land at Poquonock. with house and barn. obviates all difficulties in respect of securing the land to be cultivated to supply the immediate needs of the population it. self. These prisoners who would not be required to work on this property could readily be leased out as far>as their labor is concerned to farmers in the neighbQrhood.
 This planN has proved itself prac- ticable in other parts of Connecticut. and with proper supervision would be worked successfully in this county.

FIRST DAY WEIGHING

Six Thousand Pounds.

Fort Dodge Messenger: ~ total
of 800 tons was the result of the
first days work at the weighing sta
tion on the Hawkeye highway east
of town. This station is part of a
traffic survey under the auspices of
the engineering department of the
State college. P. w. Shive is in

of these surveys are used in deter
mining the proper kind of road sur
face.
Three hundred and seven vehicles
passed over the scales from a. m.
until p. m. The heaviest car
weighed three tons. The unusual
weight is better explained by the
fourteen passengers and the heavy
baggage that filled every available
corner of the big touring car. There
were 797 passengers in the 307 We

tourists and no vehicle OF any sort

The Methodist Epworth League,
which has been contesting with the
leagues in Eagle Grove, Clarion and
Humboldt for the past twelve weeks,
has come out winner. All league
members attending prayer meeting,
morning and evening church services

tain number of points. The points

just how their league stood. Hum

and dropped out, leaving the con-
test three-sided one. Last Sun
day was the end of the twelve
weeks contest and the Eagle Grove
report has just been received by

''It is hard for the people to be-

not have to pay" said Mr.. Shive.
''It is interesting also to watch the
expression on the faces as they are
stopped by us. In these war times
no one knows what to expect"
During the rain Tuesday, traffic
on the west and north roads fell off
60 per cent. At the time when the
farmers could be free from their du-
ties to come to town for necessary
supplies. poor roads kept them at
home. This is another argument for
