URGES PRISON LABOR
BE USED TO AID
IN WAR WORK

Pittsburgh, Sept. 25.-Prison la
Dor as factor in winning the war
IS being urged by Warden Francies
Of the Western penitentiary, who is
a recognized authority on the man
agement OF penal institutions, and
reclaiming recreant manhood. Fran
cies has taken up the subject with
The Chamber of Commerce of Pitts
burgh, which body called upon con-
gresS to enact legislation which will
permit $4,000 inmates of prisoners
in the country to engage in war
work.
According to the views of Fran
cies the criminal is patriot accord
ing to his lights. He will be glad to
help to win the war if allowed to
do SO. State laws passed to lit
peace conditions prevent this. He
holds that it should be possible to
suspend these laws for war purposes
during the continuance OF the war
by act of congress. That it has not
been done Mr.. Francies thinks is
due to an oversight rather than to
the determination of anybody to
refuse to make use OF the resources
OF the prisoners labor.
Francies expressed a firm belief
in the patriotism of labor and does
not think it will oppose the use OF
prison labor in making supplies un-
der present conditions.
Il am in possession of data which
shows that per cent of the prison
labor OF the country, engaged on the
manufacture OF socks, will turn out
100000 dozen pairs in a years

PLEDGES FORTUNES AND
LIVES OF MEMBERS.

Chicago, Sept. 26,-CharleS \.
Hinsch, president OF the American
Bankers Association, in his address
before the annual convention OF
that organization today, pledged the
fortunes and lives of its lo,04S mem
berS to continue the war until the
last armed German is beaten to
earth and victorious peace as
sured.
Realfigming the loyalty of the
nations bankers to President VIII
son in his prosecution OF the war,
he declared that they will keep on
fighting, mot to the last dollar, but
to their last unit or credit
The mission OF America, he said,
is tocarry the gospel OF freedom to
the ends OF the earth, and added,
that mo peace that Germany will
approve will satisfy America We
must not conclude a negotiated
peace. Nothing should be conSid-
cred but an unconditional surreu-
der"
In its prosecution of the war, Mr..
Ilinsch said, the government, in
stead of restraining business, is en-
couraging it, and he expressed a
hope for a continuation of this pol
icy after peace. Our OF the chaos
into which the nation was plunged,
is coming the semblance OF order,
he added.
Working For New Ends.
"Americans arc following their
natural creative bent. They are
working for new ends-to produce
what is needed for the JOY OF it as
well as the necessity"
Pointing to the $4,000 banks en-
rolled as selling agents ior the sale
OF war savings and thrift stamps and
their part in marketing ten billion
dollars worth OF Liberty bonds, he
predicted that the habit OF thrift
by the war would Con
vert 4 nation OF spenders into 1 ma

After discussing social conditions,
he advocated universal military
training as essential to commercial
and industrial growth,
and predicted that this would give
the young men OF the nation a new

Thrift .Magazine-Truly this Is ar
age OF wonders. Somebody has dis
covered that two or three grains Of
rice placed In q salt shaker will make
1t behave itself. You might take this
home and try 1t on your condiment
artillery. Aside from the current
crop OF European matches, there is
scarcely and piece OF mechanism as
battling at times as the salt shaker
when II gest obstinate. 1t Is In the
same class with the shortwaisted
shirt stud and the fountain pen with
q hemorrhage When the salt shaker
suspends publication 1t frequently
creates havoc in the home. The house
husband beats loddly on the table
with 1t to make it say uncle. A bar
rage of toothpick points, forks and
icetongs is laid down, but the enemy
digs himself In. Somebody says some
thing about IT being the cooks fault
and she resigns her portfolio. While
the tired business man Is discussing
this point mother rushes from the
room with her hands over her ears.
Alas haw many men arc there In
America today who can successfully
handle a balky salt shaker when there
are ladies present?

The first half of October was
made to order for farm work, and a
great deal of it was done. particularly
threshing and haying. In some local
tiles the threshing is finished, which
doubtless leads to the current town
reports that thr,shing is practically
finished. This 10 a mistake, as may
be readily learned by a drive into diff
ferent sections OF the county, where
many stacks of unthreshed grain are

TIME AND OPPORTUNITY MEET

The ambitious man who desires to
accumulate something. to progress, to
improve his condition, to have some
thing, laid aside for his children, or
his old age,n never had a better oppor-
tunity than this present time, nor a
better place than In Hand County.
Both tins and place are joined to-
gether, for the man who wants to do,
and has the courage to act.
This opportunity is in the farm
land of Hand County. which are way
too low by any comparison that may
be made with 1t. Eastern South Da-
kota land is selling for 500 to $3.50
per acre, eastern Nebraska land has
passed the 5000 mark, Iowa lands
have gone above $500 in several To-
calities. What makes these lands
from three to six times the price of
land in Hand County? Is 1t eli
mate? You don't believe it. Is 1t the
amount produced on an acre? The
records disprove that What is 1t
then? Nothing but age and develop
ment. Time has made moe and better
improved farms, that's all. Iowa's
$500 here was worth nothing years
ago In it's raw state. AS a developed
home OF man it is valuable.
The same progress and development
Is going on here as there-and we
don't realize 1t. But the awakening
is coming, and probably in the very
near future. Some of these mornings
we will awaken to the surprising
knowledge that there is no more $50
land to be picked up by just dropping
into a real estate Office, and that well
improved farms are held at a 500 or
better. Don't believe It, neighbor?
Well just stick around awhile and
you'll see 1t happen, because after
this war other people will come and
quickly recognize the value of land
that is producing the crops and live
stock now being marketed from Hand
county farms.
