THE STATE CONVICT FARM

The following was clipped from the Daily Pine Bluff Graphic and is high ly complimentary of the management of the State farm at Tucker.
 "That conditions at the state convict farm near Tucker are excellent, as re- ported by the grand jury in it's final report to Judge w. B. Sorrells Thurs day, is highly gratifying to the citi- zens of Jefferson county. The commit tee named by the grand jury to visit the penal farm reported that sanitary conditions were excellent, the build ings and grounds in good condition and the convicts we'll cared for and fed. The members of the committee comphmented the management of the convict farm, C daelaring the men in charge of 1t arc able and competent and conditions were found to be so satisfactory that no suggestion for any improvements could be found by the members of the committee.
 When it was announced that the state intended to establish q convict farm in Jefferson county there was
 
 property owners and citizens. When the farm was finally established condi- tions were such that much criticism was aroused, but these conditions have been changed and now the vari- ous committees and delegations from this city that have visited the penal farm have come back to praise the management and to commend those in charge. Judge w. A. Coker, for merly county Judge of Drew county, is the commissioner in charge of this farm, and credit for the conditions there falls upon him. He is not only a good business man but he has the proper regard for the rights of hu- man beings and he is seeing that the unfortunate people who arc sent to the farm are properly treated and car ed for while they are paying the pen- alty for violating the laws of the state.
 Many revolting stories have been told in the past of treatment accorded the state convicts. Many of these stories nave probably been exagger- ated but much that has been tod was probably true. The people have condemned inhumane treatment of convicts and the failure to apply bus mess methods to the management of the states institutions. Jefferson county people feel that certain re- sponsibiity rests upon them inasmuch as one of the state farms is in this county and they will therefore be grat- flied to know that conditions that for merly existed at convict farms do not exist at the farm in this county.

NAIL THE FLAG TO THE PLOY

Nail the flag to the blow
 The soldiers must eat While defending the trenches
 Or suffer defeat. You can help the brave soldier
 At this time of his need By increasing your acres
 And planting more seed. Nail the flag to the blow

 While the world is in strife. Your duty is plain;
 Your mission is grand; Each man is hero
 Who's tilling the land. on say you're too old
 To fight with a gun; Then work in the fields
 Till the setting of sun And show to the woIld By the sweat of your brow, That you're serving your country With a fl ilg OH your plow."

hands opened and closed convulsively.

Mrs. Bunker looked across toward
the New Jersey shore. Her eyes were
too poor to see that far very clearly,
but she knew 1t must be hot over
there, too.
"It seems sort of hot over there for
ice not to melt, too" she ventured.

and a long time ago, ages ago, a

Mrs. Bunker knit awhile in silence.
