Manager Ralph Bolt is now without a
single prisoner. Rather than let the
crops suffer he has engaged two men
on a monthly salary basis to look
after the work until the farm can be
replenished. For several weeks not
more than four men were confined on
the farm, but Monday the last mans
sentence expired. The shortage of
prisoners is so acute in Kent county
that Sheriff c. A. Berry is contem-
plating asking the supervisors to al
low him to engage janitor for the
county Jail. Heretofore there have
been enough prisoners to act as hall
boys to do the sweeping, washing and
caretaking at the Jail. There are
only a few prisoners in the Jail now
and the sheriff says he will soon be
out Of hallboys."

After all, there is something funny
about this prohibition business, par
ticularly so because Of the fact that
the wet fellows always used to prove
concluslvely that crime would be
more common with prohibition than
with the saloons. The following,
clipped from the Press of Monday,

thing the saloons are:

assistant inspector with this hrm
has been filled since April last by

understand all the technical phrases

the training department worker is SAID
to be between 25 and 80 per cent greater
than that of the unframed man or wom-
an, and the test of it's satisfactory opera
tion for employer and employe Is evil
denced by the fact that of those who
enter the factories through their train
ing departments only or 3 per cent
leave. Credit for considerable degree
of this mutual content Is undoubtedly
due to the comfort and welfare agencies
which have been instituted in the train

the especial benefit of the woman
workers.
That deep interest is being taken in
the training of workers for essential
war industries was recently demonstrat.
ed by the offer of the Chicago board OF
education of the use of a vacant school
building splerdidly adapted for fac

tender was supplemented by the boards
voting $4,000 as a preliminary fund
toward the expense of equipping the
building. A number of employers, un-

equipment of the building.
