MAKING HUSBANDS WORK.
Delinquent husbands, sentence

Delinquent husbands, sentenced to jail in the city court or found breaking their parole by probation officers, charged with non-support of their families, are being utilized at Hillside Home as farm workers and laborers. An average wage is being paid to the offenders and the pay is forwarded to the de- pendents.
 As a result of this practice there have appeared very few com plaints from neglected wives and children during the past several months and has kept Bridgeport's husbands on the job. This city has less complaints of this nature than any other city in the country of equal population.

URGE FIGHT FOR
 DAYLIGHT SAVING
Marcus M. Marks Appeals To C's. of c. Throughout
 the Country.

New York. May 29-Marcus M. Marks. president of the National Daylight Association, today sent ap- peals to chambers of commerce zhrouzho1t the nation to join in q protest against the repeal of the agricultural bill calls for its repeal.
 The repeal of the daylight saving law without giving the representa- tives of daylight saving a hearing will be pernicious class legislation" ssaid Mir Marks. Tt has been said q few farmers are opposed to the act but on fhe other hand. millions are in favor of the extra hour of sun- light.
 In . year it has saved more than 100000 tons of coal; minimized the eye strain by obvfatfng the work un- der the glare of gas and electricity has promoted general health by giv- ing tho workers time in the sunshine after their days duties; has increased sinatsur gardening. thereby reducing the abnormalIy high expenses for food and has lowered the gas and electric light bills.
 "A concerted protest by all living fin the cities by letter and telegram to their senators and representatives will make congress realize that mill Hons favor daylight saving where a Tow thousands oppose"
 At a meeting of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce. in response to an appeal from Marcus M. Marks. they reiterated the former stand talk en in favor of the Daylight Saving plan, and have wired Connecticut representatives and senators to op- pose the rider to the Agricultural bill which calls for the repeal of this msasusU.

The Prison Enigma
While the condemned man talked two
qua rds stood near. Both were sta
toned on the side Of the cell block
where the little green door swings IN.
Handy. they said, is the prison enigma.
There was never condemned prisoner
so anxious for death He says he has
no religion. All day long he smokes
and never comp aims, except ut the de-
lay in his execution.
Handy said to-day he had lost
weight because of the confinement.
His face is drawn. He talked freely
Of his life of crime and frequently
showed mis- contempt for the detec-
tives. He says if it were not for his
desire % die they never would have
identified him as the man wanted for
the brooklyn murders. Talking of
his activities in St. Paul, Handy said:
"You know if fought this case and
beat it every state in the union would
try TO ge: me for some job, whether
il was mine or not. There is only one
place where they could convict me. and
that is in St. Paul Two partners
who were in on a job there are now

get me.

MEXICO INVITES TROUNC|Ne
FROM THE UNITED STATES

that he conspired with a bandit
to have himself kidnapped and
then "nicked" his friends for
$15O,0OO.
The fact is that Carranza needs
a threshing for another reason.
His pro-Germanism persisted
throughout the war and it is as
strongly evident now as then. He
is also doing his best to make
trouble for this country by en-
couraeine anarchists from abroad
to land on Mexican shores and
then cross the boundary into the
United States. But his main
scheme is to play into the hands
of Germany. For example:
More than a month ago a Mex
leo City administration newspaper
announced that Carranza was
making ready to welcome German
colonists. Very recently it was
stated that 3,50O,OO0 acres of Mex
lean lands have been granted as
concessions to Germans to en-
courage colonists. German bank
ers in Mexico City are still hold
ers of the concessions which are
to be sold to German colonists at
an average price of So an acre,
payable in 20-year installments.
It is estimated that the German
population will be increased by
As, 600 in the near future, possibly
that many have arrived already.
for it is known that a movement
of the Germans has been under
way since last March.
In contrast to this friendliness
for the Germans, an order was
recently issued at Mexico City,

Unless something develops not
visible on the horizon at present,
it would seem as if Uncle Sam be
compelled to give Carranza that
long deferred licking which he
has richly deserved for several
years.
Mexico claims that Jenkins, the
American consular agent, who
was siezed by bandit" and
forced to give up Sl50,0O0, was in
on the conspiracy and in on the
loot with his bandit friend. The
money was put up by Jenkins
friends. The United States has
investigated quite thoroughly and
has about made up its mind that
Carranza's story about Jenkins is
simply another impudent false
hood, designed to tarnt the gov
ernment and at the same time
hang onto the money. Although
a sharp note was sent to Carran-
"a several days ago warning him
to let Jenkins alone, the bewhis-
kered head of the alleged govern
ment has taken all the time there
is to make answer. He is irritat-
ing and insolent and needs a
threshing, he and his gang of
half-baked supporters.
OF course if Jenkins is guilty,
life sentence wouldn't be severe
enough for him; but there is no
evidence that he is guilty. He has
been the object of the attention
of the Mexican bandits before.
His ranch was looted last spring
and his ranch manager killed.
Carranza could equally as we'll
claim Jenkins robbed himself and
killed his own foreman as to say

An independent candidate who
opposed the Townley dictatorship
in North Dakota, defeated Non
partisan Lacquer for state senator
last week in Towner county and
thus succeeds in the senate a
Townley senator who died not
long ago.
The result undoubtedly is a
blow to the bunch of carpet-bag-
gers who are spending the money
of the farmers of North Dakota,
money wrung from them by in
creased taxation and for which
they are getting nothing
The vote shows that there has
been switch of twenty percent
of the voters since the referen-
dunn election last June when
Townley put over a number of
his soCialistic laws.
1t shows pretty conclusively
that the farmers at last are get
ting wise to the situation. Their
tax receipts from this year, show
ing they are trebled; the failure
of the Scandinavian-American
bank: the failure OF the Townley
gang to dispose of the securities
of the North Dakota State bank,
which takes by law the school
money of the various districts
and then informs the directors
that if they run short of cash to
go to the local banks, which are
supposed to be the agents of Big
BIZ" "---all these things are giving
the farmers an awakening which
though painful may be beneficial
in that they may save something
out of the wreck.
Townleyism Is tottering to its
