Leather Scraps Wanted.

The local Red Cross branch is ap-
pealing for scraps of leather of all
kinds, for use in fashioning leather
jackets for our country's aviators. No
piece is too small to be acceptable.
The leather is utilized as lining, and a
thumbs breadth of it often affords
lust the necessary bit to complete the
garment. Old gloves, shoe tops and
tongues, belts, straps-in fact, dis
carded scraps of leather of almost any
kind, should not be thrown away or
consigned to the rubbish heap, but
passed along to the Red Cross, which
will be able to make good use OF the
material. Notify Red Cross head
quarters if you have any such scraps
to give away, and someone will be
sent for the package.

The new editor Of our esteemed
contemporary, the Assumption Pho
neer, disclaims the soft Impeachment
Of the Abbeville Meridional that it
was modesty that caused him to
withhold his name from the editorial
salutatory which recently appeared in
the Pioneer. We are glad to note the
disclaimer, for such an excess Of diff
fdence would be gross violation of
newspaporial precedent, and might be
taken to indicate that the new editor
is ashamed Of his calling. He. sur
misses that as soon as he has con-
WINGED himself and the. owners of the
Pioneer that he is a sure-enough edi-
tor his name will appear at the top of
the editorial page, hence we shall
confidently expect to see that par
ticular spot ornamented at an early
day with the cognomen Of our genteel
and modest friend Peter Bylsma.
Meanwhile let the curiosity of the
Meridional remain unappeased.

Working Prisoners.

The following observations nave
been sent out by the National Com
mittee on Prisons, and is particular
ly interesting to Missouri, since the
State Highway Department is bend.
ing every energy 10 have more
prisoners used on the public roads.
Kentucky will pay its prisoners
who work on the road ST so day
in place of 81. as result of the
highly successful experiments dur
ing 1916 and 1917. A recommen-
dation for extending the system is
made by Nat B. Sewell, state in
spector and examiner, in report
lust made to Governor Stanley, and
he also urges employment of several
hundred more prisoners and in
creasiug the price paid for labor
In spite of the experimental
nature of the work and the fact that
conditions in some counties were
very unfavorable, the state made
a net profit of $500 Fewer guards
and better business organization
will, according to the report great
ly increase the profit of the state
from this labor, even at the low
price of ST day.
Other reports made to the
National Committee on Prisons and
Prison Labor show that the War is
resulting in a greater use of prison
labor in road building all over the
United States
Military roads are being built
in Ohio by the aid of convict labor
Fifty prisoners from each state
prisons have been organized into
emergency squads to rush to com.
pletion the National Highway in
Muskingum county, so that road
may be used extensively for the
transportation of army motor trucks
and other military supplies. the
number of prisoners will be doubled
as the work proceeds
Governor Cox expects the use of
convict labor to lead to boom for
good roads in Ohio. In a letter to
the National Committee on Prisons
and Prison Labor the statement is
made that the road contractors gave
up their contracts in compliance
with a war emergency request so
that the state could rush work with
Couvict labor. Private contract
convict labor is prohibited, but the
stare may employ prisoners in road
building. The men regard detail to
this work as an honor.
The National Committee on
Prisons and Prison Labor, which is
working for the most efficient utiIi-
cation of this labor from its War
Bureau in Washington. is anxious
to prevent exploitation of these
men even though the state may
employ them in the war emergen-
cy. ln this connection, it has gone
on record in favor of paving a wage
to the prisoner, procedure which
also protects the standards of free
labor and private industry
When we read that by transport
ing soldiers in motor vehicles of
every description the French army
won the decisive battle of the
Marine, few of us realized that
while it was the automobile that
made success possible it was the
network of good roads north of
Paris that made the automobile of
any use. Yet those famous roads
of France saved the country and
the national value of roads was
proved. We are now witnessing
what troubles lack of good roads
causes in our national emergency
