 Some time ago the county and court agreed that violators of the liquor law should be sentenced to hard labor for the joint purpose of relieving the need of labor and for the further benefit to be derived by the prisoners. themselves SO employed. As a saving to the county-there is practically none, as it has found the convict labor cost parallel to that of day labor. ~. --.4,.-t ..,
 Approved by the board of super visors, Harold Bargman, county engi- neer, outlined the road work, drew the plans for the camp and Sheriff W. H. Wilky soon had some dozen of prisoners fitting up the quarters they were to occupy until the road work is cornpleted-or their places taken by others as their terms ex- pires.
 The big tent was pitched and the double hunks installed. The collapsi- ble beds are Bargman's idea, a fea- ture of the sanitation plan he has incorporated in every item contained in camp.

 Bargman stated yesterday that he was satisfied with the start and that he could not have asked for better work from a group of men who had never had pick and shovel experience. They are bound to improve as they get used to the work and the result will be that the road which we built as short cut to Prescott two years ago. will once more be in first class condition. In the week the boys have been on the job they have had experience in cutting the road, dig ging drain ditches and refinishing the surface and 1t has been most satis- factory.

14 YEAR 0LD GIRL AS
 DR|vERTOURsTHREE
 STATES IN OVERLAND

The splendid record of an Overland light four touring car on three state tour has been reported to the factory by a 4-year- old girl in a letter that, from the standpoint of composition and concise statement of fact, would do credit to much older and more experienced writer.
 The letter was written by Eva Fisher, daughter of R. E. Fisher of Carlton,s Texas, who made the trip with her parents. 4a
 In part she, writes: 'On this trip through West Texas, New, Mexico and Arizona, we travelled 1895 miles. We made the tour in an Overland light four, with a, two-wheel, trailer attached. The trailer and contents weighed .920 pounds. The car and contents weighed 3,117 pounds-a total weight of 4,037 pounds.
 On the entire trip we used 115, gallons of gasoline, an average of r miles to the gallon.

 We were gone ,31 days. The most important towns we visited were Dub-, lin, Comanche, Brownwood, Coleman, Ballinger, San Angelo, Fort Stockton, Alpine. Sierra Blanco,, Fl Paso, Texas; Deming and Lordsburg, New Mexico, and Duncan, Arizona
 We had all kinds of roads-sand, rocks and chuck holes, and mud by the wholesale. We had the heaviest mud this side of, Deming, New Mexico in the lower Rio Grande valley. We pulled through this mud with chains and didn't stick. In this same mud we saw cars pulled out by govern ment trucks, although our car loaded, went through unassisted.~

While visitors are not permitted in camp, letters, newspapers, tobacco, magazines if left at the sheriff's of flee will reach those in camp.

slams who as~sassinated General Won
Mirbach, the German ambassador to
Russia, concealed their weapons un-
der the table over which they we're
~conversing with the German diplo-
mat, according to details of the
killing published by the Berlin Lo-
kal Anzeiger as coming from an
eyewitness of the murder.
Count Mirbach, Privy Councillor
Reisler and Lieutenant Mueller were
seated with the two Russians at a
marble table in the middle of the
room,' says the witness. ION one
side were the Germans, and or the
other the Russians. All were seat
ed in low leather chairs, which was
an advantage for the Russians, as
they were thus able to get their
weapons ready under the marble
table without being observed, while
their victims, leaning back on their
chairs, offered an easy target.
During the conversation the
Russians began to turn over the
pages OF their documents as though
in search of some missing papers,
and the attention of the Germans
was thus distracted by this pause.
While Count Mirbach and his col
leagues imagined that the Russians
were examining the documents, they
had drawn out their weapons under
the cover of the table.

this year than ever before. In the
university of Birmingham all the
graduates receiving the degree OF
bachelor of arts this year were wo-

On the science side, the degrees
of bachelor of science we're equally

Japanese students. Two-thirds of
the masters of science were Japan

HAWAII GOES DRY

Of WAR

MTSSIBLE

HONOLULU, T. H, Aug. .21. =
The territory of Hawaii last night
was added to the list of wartime
prohibition communities.
At midnight the four main islands
of the group went "dry" by
congressional enactment. the Shep-
pard law barring the manufacture
and sale Of liquor in the island for
two years after peace, becoming OPP
erative. At that time the territory
may call a plebiscite on whether
prohibition shall continue.
The island of Oahu, Of which
Honolulu is the county seat, has
been "dry" since April under an ex-
ecutive order issued by the presi-
dent. The islands affected by the
Sheppard law are Hawaii, Maui and
Kauai.
Under the Sheppard act the i'm
portation of liquor is forbidden.
Possession of liquor in the home,
however, is permissible.
The law also operates to put an
end to the brewing of sake, the
Japanese national drink.
The Japanese at first we're in
clined to protest the enactment on
the ground that sake is essential to
their diet. Japanese officials, how
ever, prevailed on their countrymen
to comply with the law in view of
it being a war measure.

No More Booze for Soldiers

The sale of liquor to soldiers on
their way to camps by saloonmen
along the line of the Southern Pa
cific and Western Pacific railroads
has caused the government to COM
plain of the practice. The subject
was considered at a recent meeting
of the state council of defense and
orders were issued to defense coun-
ellis of counties along the line OF
the roads that if the practice were
not discontinued the licenses OF the
offending saloonmen would be re-
voked. The saloonmen had been
warned before to discontinue the
sale of liquor to soldiers and con-
tingents of drafted men going to
camps. but the warning was not
needed.

RENTING FARM FOR DAIRYING
HaIf-and-Half System Proves Most
Successful in Representative Sec
tion Near Chicago.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The so-called half-and-half system Is
the most common in use and the most
satisfactory in renting dairy farms in
representative dairy regions near Chi
cago studied by farm management
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Generally
speaking, under this system the land
lord supplies the land, the tenant the
labor. and each shares the expenses
and income equally. The study was
made on 143 farms In Green county,
Wisconsin, and Kane county (the FL
gin district) Illinois, where dairying
is comparatively old, well-developed
and profitable industry. In the report
of the study. published as Bulletin COB,
Of the department, 1t Is brought out
that while this system Is particular
ly applicable to the regions studied,
it is believed to be suitable In dairy
sections generally.
Under the half-and-half system the
landlord furnishes the land, buildings,
the greater part of the seed and fertil-
izer. and half the productive stock,
while the tenant furnishes horses, ma
chinery, half Of the productive stock,
part of the seed, and sometimes part
Of the fertilizer. All stock Is fed usu-
ally from the grain and hay owned in
common. When q feed of any kind Is
bought, it's cost is shared equally be-
tween the landlord and tenant. In
general. each party pays the taxes on
all property owned by him, including
the farm road tax, though in many
cases In the North Central states all
the farm road tax Is worked out by
the tenant.
Under this system the poultry fire.
quently Is owned exclusively, In lin
tied numbers, by the tenant, and he
gets the proceeds therefrom, but with
this exception, each party generally
receives half of the proceeds of farm
sales Of all products Of whatever ma
ture.,
Less frequently dairy farms are
share-rented on the third system, the
landlord supplying everything but the
man-power, which Is furnished by the
tenant, and getting two-thirds of the
sales of all products while the tenant
receives One-third. When feed is pur-
chased the tenant pays one-third Of
the cost.
The length Of lease In the regions
studied ranges from one to five years.
In the Wisconsin district 76 per cent
of the leases were for one year only,
none being for longer period than
three years, while in the Illinois dis
trict 63 per cent of the leases were for
one year. In the Wisconsin group 30
per cent and In the Illinois group q
per cent of the leases were verbal.
Seventy-five per cent of the farm in
come on the farms Of the Wisconsin
