PRISON "HULKS."

The first use of the "hulks" or prison ships as places of confinement and punishment for criminals was on July IS, 1776, just 142 years ago today when a party of convicts. chained two and two by the leg, entered the first of the Thames huIks and began their labors of dredging the river. The hull were mostly old men-of-war, although some prison ships were con structed for this special purpose, This form of imprisonment continued for many years, but was finally abolished. Imprisonment in the hulks meant for the convicts "to be employed in as much labor as they can sustain; to be fed with legs and shins of beef. ox-cheek, and such other coarse food; to have nothing to drink but water or small-beer; to be clad in some squalid uniform; never to be visited without consent of the overseers; and never to be supplied with any gifts from other persons. either in money or otherwise" Many desperate bat ties between the convicts and their guards took place in the Thames hulks. but very few men ever sue. ceeded in making their escape.

FISTIC HISTORY.

It was 29 years ago today, July 15, that Jim Corbett defeated Joe Choyn- ski in four rounds at San Francisco. Later in the same year they fought again, and this time Corbett knocked out Joe in the 27th round. ChoynsM was a clever, hard fighter, and took part in several notable battles In 1892 he held Jim Jeffries to a draw in 20 rounds, and 1894 fought g. draw with Bob Fitzsimmons. He was the only man who ever knocked out Jack Johnson, turning that trick at Gal weston in 1901, when the big negro was just beginning his pugilistic ca reer.

age space is necessary, and they may

DR.. Joseph Oldfield, senior medical
officer. of an important English hospi-
tai, writes that it will not be the sup
ply of meats, cereals and potatoes that
will influence the results of the war so
much as it will be the supply of nerve
foods. i.'e., fats and salts. He says:
'"The difficulty for Germany is not
really Of meat, cereals or potatoes, but
fats, fruits and salads. In spite of the
complete caloritic dietary the people
of Germany are developing the dis
ease of NAL nerve nutrition. The lat
est development of the disease in the
legs, feet and face will steadily grow
worse and worse unless fresh fruits,
salads and seed oils can be introduced
into Germany" -

Reports OF the appearance of large
numbers of grasshoppers in several
counties OF Iowa have come to the Of
flee of the state entomologist at Iowa
State college at Ames and the ento.
mOlogistS warn the farmers to be pre-
pared to protect their crops against
this pest. The insects have already at.

in which the insects are caught. The
poisoning method is recommended by
r. Il Webster, state entomologist, from
the results obtained by using it in past
years. The formula as used in 1917
was: rs pounds wheat bran, l pound
paris green, finely chopped oranges
or lemons, quarts low grade molasses
and 2h gallons water. The bran and
poison are mixed dry. The molasses
is dissolved in the water and the fruit
added to it, Then the. liquid constitu-
ents are mixed into the poison bran.
To be effective the mash must be
moist. Heavy dews serve to keep it
moist enough to attract the insects
and for that reason the mash should
be spread on the ground in the late af-
ternoon or early morning. Care should
be taken to keep poultry away from the
mixture, but there is no danger of
harming stock. Alfalfa meal may be
substituted for bran, as the latter ma.
terial has greatly increased in price.

Chicago Grain and Provisions


 Chicago, June 1.-Corn develop ed considerable strength today after an initial downturn. Delivery of a small amount on contract was a bear ish factor at the outset. The general tone was nervous. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to 1-4c lower, with June not quoted and July $1.32 to $1.32 7-8, were fol- lowed by a little further sag, and then an advance to we'll above yes- terday's finish.
 Weekend covering by shorts up- held the market most of the time in the later dealings. The fact that arr rivals for the week were less than half the total year ago was bull ish influence. Privates closed unset tied $1.30 1-2 June and $1.33 7-8 to $1.14 July, with the market as a whole 1 1-3 cents off to a like ad- vance compared with "A hours before. Gossip that exporters were bidding for oats led to rally in prices for that cereal. After opening 1-4c to 7-8c down, with July GA 1-2 quota tions made a sharp up turn.
 Most of the gains were held in the last part of the session.
