which organized labor has carried on for more than forty years against the lease system of hiring out convicts to contractors to compete with free labor. If the contractors are defeated in their effort to continue the system of eX plotting the prisoners, the state will benefit directly through the building of much needed public highways and the utilization of convicts in agriculture.
 The national committee on prisons and prison labor, organized labor, good roads organizations, and the social workers of the state were instrumental in securing the amendment of 1915 to the Kentucky constitution permitting the employment of Kentucky prisoners outside prison walls, and also the leg islation of 1916 authorizing the em- ployment of prisoners on roads and farms This legislation did not abolish the contract labor system, but left the entire matter to the discretion of the board of prison commissioners Had they chosen they could have made the prisons worthy part of the country's industrial system

The name of the new concern, which is located in tempo rary quarters at 219 West Washing ton. will be the Eyer Brothers Motor company. All of the products of thu J. I. Case company of Racine, Wis, will be handled by the company.
 Frank and Jay Eyer, members of the Eyer family which is one of the oldest in the state of Arizona are the partners in the business. The former has for many years operated thrashing outfit in this section of the state, which is a product of the J. Case manufacturing concern.

Eyer, "as I have handled and worked with all such various products on the market today From this personal experience I an firmly convinced that products nf the Case company are world beaters.'
 Although at the present time only two of the seven passenger touring cars are on the sales floor of the company, shipment of Case pro ducts is expected in the near future However, it will be necessary for the company to seek larger quarters be fore they will be able to display full line manufactured by the Case company.

 While the annual honey crop of this state is worth close to S1,000. .000," stated the noted authority, there is about nineteen times as much which goes to waste. That means that about $19,000.0 900 is wasted annually because this amount of honey is untaken.'
 When asked for the solution to this problem:, Mr. JageI explained: The reason for this tremendous waste of honey in Minnesota is that there is big shortage of bee keepers-there are not enough bee keepers to harvest the flowage, in other words.
 MT. Jager then argued that the most successful bee keepers are not the farmers They have too much other business to attend to give bee keeping the proper attention. Teachers, cler gymen and professional men are the most successful bee keepers" he continued, and it is surprising how many of these are giving up their work in the cities to go out into the open to make their living with bees-and good living. too"

Tie famous. Maxwell nonstop cham pion of the world has set another rec ord.
 It's latest record is in gasoline econ omy.
 Thirty-one and one tenth miles on a gallon of gasoline.
 That is the record made by the vet eran. which has travelled more than 13S.S27 miles. Peoria, H., was the scene of the champions last glorious record accomplishment.

 The The champion m G1t; tc;ontiAed around one circuit, which ran from Jefferson up Hamilton to Madison, up Madison to Cornhill, down Cornhill to Jefferson and down the latter street to Hamilton. When the last drop of gasoline burned the speedometer registered 31.1 miles.
 It was a remarkable record and beat the mark made by the same car in Springfield the previous week by near ly three miles,
 The mileage on a gallon of gasoline obtained with the champion is all the more wonderful because it was made with q car which has had such stren- uous life. The car has never been touched by mechanic During the Peoria run the engine purred like q new machine.

HAYNES OFFICIALS SON STARTS R|OT
 AT PET0SKEY ZOO

Haynes Starbnck. 5-year-olG son of A. E. Starbuck, treasurer of the Haynes Automobile company, Kokomo, Ind, literally stirred up the animals in the City Park at Petoskey, Mich., re- gently. Treasurer Starbuck is mem Der of Americas S hay fever brigade, and spends the season at Harbor Springs Mith his family. They put in good deal Of time touring in Starbuck'S big Haynes car, which is pretty well known because it bears Indiana h- cense tag No. l, according to informa- ton received by the Martin Brothers Motor company, local Haynes agent.
 On one of their drives the Starbuck family and their guests visited the Pe- toskey park, which has small zoo. A popular feature of the zoo is a young mon6ey, which is both friendly and mischievous While the party was strolling about in the park the monkey ieaped into the car and began throw ing rugs, cushions and other things to the ground. Young Haynes Starbuck came back to the ear and found Mir Monkey sitting on the hood meditative- ly examining the radiator cap.
 The lad climbed into the driver s seat and pressed the button of the cleo tric horn. This terrified toOt right un- der the monkey was too much, and it cleared twenty feet through the air, landing in a tree. But with true mon- keyish curiosity it sidled back and once more mounted the hood, this time trying to unscreW the radiator cap to locate the sound.
 ThesStarbuck boy accommodated the monkey with a series of blasts upon tne horn, and this time the monkey did a Wilbur Wright to the head of an elderly lady at the side of the drive way. The lady shrieked, the monkey chattered, the horn cut loose again; and then two eagles awoke in their cage and turned loose freedoms call All the other birds began screaming, the fancy ducks in a pond nearby set up an ear-splitting chatter, while the coyotes yapped loudly Then, high above all the racket, rose a collection of blood curdling walls and howls. Away down at the end of the park were two big wolves. They had sensed trouble somewhere, and squatting back on their launches, with mouths wide open, delivered genuine. wolf howls of the fiercest sort.
 Mir. Starbuck gathered his party to- gether and bade adieu to the park, but It was more than an hour before the usual peaceful calm of Petoskey' $ beauty spot was resumed.

Liberty Bonds Received.

The Missouri State Bank has re-
ceived from the Federal Reserve
Bank its allotment of 3 1-2 per cent
Liberty Loan Bonds issued under
date of June IS, 1917.
The Bonds received are in denom-
nations of $1,000. $4,000 and $4,000.
They are handsomely engraved, and
to each bond is attached sixty cou-
pons for semi-annual interest.
The Bank purchased Bonds far in
excess of the amount subscribed for
by its patrons in order to have them
to sell to those who might later de-
eide to buy. Every loyal American
should buy Liberty Bonds to the ex-
tent of his ability, and thus help Our
government finance its part of the
great world war.
The Liberty Loan is thing of in
terest to every citizen of the United
States, and the Missouri State Bank
extends an invitation to every man,
woman and child in this county to
call at the bank and see some of the
bonds whether or not they wish to

U. S. TRANSPORT DOWN

Five Minutes.

Washington, Oct. 1o.-The Ameri-
can army transport Antilles. home
ward bound under, convoy, was tor
pedoed and sunk by German sub
marine in the war zone Wednesday.
About seventy men are missing and
probably lost.
All the army and navy officers
aboard and the ships master were
among the 10y survivors. The miss
ing are members of the crew, three
civilian engineers, some enlisted men
OF the navy. and seventeen of thirty
three soldiers returning home for
various reasons. Neither the sub
marine nor the torpedo were seen
and the transport. hit so.,arcly amid
ships, sank in five minutes.
This tragedy of the sea- the first in
which an American ship engaged in
war duty has been lost, is the first
of its magnitude to bring home to
the people of the United States the
rigors of the war in which they have
engaged against Germany. 1t carries
the largest casualty list of the war
of American lives, and marks the
first success of German submarine
attacks on American transports.
That the loss of life was not great
er is due to the safeguards with
which the navy has surrounded the
transport service and the quick res
cue work of the conveying ships.

disaster tonight in statement based
upon a brief dispatch from Vice-Ad-

though the ship keel over and put

A majority of the officers, who

run directly over lurking submarine

the distance and launched her deadly
torpedo without ever showing more
than her pcriscope. They regard t
as probable that the Uboat COM

phones told him the patrols had
passed and the transport was upon
hin. then shot his perscope above
the water only long enough to sight
and fire before he ducked back to

Must be Prepared for Disaster.

Washin Ston, Oct. 2o-Naval Off
cial, sounded warnings today that
the american people must be pre-
pared for the announcement of dis
astcr similar to that to the Antilles
N any time. Many times troop ships
have been attacked. In most in
stances, however, no announcement
has been made.
Transports carrying troops to
France and returning to this country
have seen torpedoes go dangerously
close to their bows, but the one sent
at the Antilles was the first to strike.
Usually the submarine was not seen,
although the conveying vessels al
ways made 1.-THE most thorough
search.
Every precaution is being taken to
safeguard the troop carrying vessels.
but they are constantly in danger and
the destruction of onue of them any
way would not greatly surprise naval
authorities.
