 There has been a good deal of criticism of the heavy sentences i'm posed by courts martial, but I believe it has been largely due to the public misunderstanding the facts. Such sentences have been imposed purely because of their deterrent effect and I am convinced that they have saved thousands of young men from get ting into trouble
 The extraordinary small proportion of men convicted of serious offenses in the American army was empha- sized by Colonel Hunt "Out of about four million men who joined the col ors there are only about 5000 in the three military prisons at Leaven- worth, Alcatras and here. Under the draft system we got into the army a great number of men with criminal records in civil life We know five thousand of these by name, and half of that number are included in the five thousand now in the three mili- tary prisons Colonel Hunt said.
 One of the principal features of the re-habilitating scheme introduced in to Fort Jay under Colonel Hunt is the

 Under the educational portion of the prison curriculum, largely in the hands of Y. M. c. A. officials, classes are held in various trades, such as printing, rug-making, laundry work and technical installation. There are also classes of a purely scholastic na- ture, ranging from elementary edu- cation to business English. salesman ship and French.

MILITARY. PRISONERS CAN REGAIN
 LIBERTY IN PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS

New York. April 11.-Heavy court martial sentences of life imprison- ment or such terms as twenty or thirty years are reduced to a mini mum of months by a plan permitted : under army regulations which has been introduced into the disciplinary barracks at Governors Island by the commandant, Colonel John E. Hunt. The plan involves 0 far-reaching scheme by which the soldier prison CT may not only return to civil life free from the stigma of imprison- ment but better equipped physically and educationally to take up the bat tie of life
 . To explain the working of the scheme and of the care of prisoners a party of newspaper men were in vited to visit the island under the auspices of the national war work council of the M. c. A. The coun- cil is cooperating with the military authorities in the educational work being carried on among the pris- oners.
 There are between 500 and 700 prisoners at LNesent in the barracks. Some of the men are from overseas ana about half of them are serving SeHlGIlSeS TUT lIllilNdiy OhtHSGSS 4ll- cluding one life term, several of twen- ty years and a few of less periods. What these sentences really mean was explained by Colonel Hunt.
 "In practice" he said, men serving ten, twenty, thirty year, or life sen tences are really sentenced to inde- terminate terms. When a man comes here we make a careful investigation of his whole life from NooyhoOd. All the circumstances involving his of fense are reviewed, and if his general conduct Is and has been satisfactory he can apply for restoration after three months. Such an application Is rarely refused. and within six months from the time he was convicted he may reJoin his regiment to complete

Experience is a good and wise teacher, and when it comes to seed planting, experi- ence teaches that the best in seeds are none to good.
 Experience teaches the fact that good vegetables can only be grown from seed that itself was from good vegetables.
 Our seeds were selected with this thought in mind; they are not just seeds, but seeds that come from the best strains. Further than that they are seeds from varieties and strains that will grow to the best ad- vantage in this climate.
 Small seeds in, 5 cent and larger quantities. Peas. Beans, and Corn in 15 cent and larger quantities.
 You can get just the right quantity for your garden.

Barley Sugar.

A very satisfactory substitute
for sugar is being manufactured
on a commercial scale from malt
However, it can be made only in
the form of syrup. 1t has delic-
ious flavor, is very palatable and
healthful. Malt sugar has for a
long time been known to chemists
but the manufacturing Of it on a
commercial scale is only Of very
recent origin and due to the Sc.
we're sugar shortage this year
Malt sugar syrup is made from
the same grain as beer but may be
made from corn and potatoes or
any plant containing starch, The
brewery is an ideal place for max
ing it, the process being identical
with that Of making beer up to a
certain point, the only new ma
chinery required being evapora-
ton pans. Barley which was u.s.
ed until recently in the manufac-
ture of beer can be used now to
produce malt syrup. The CONNER
cial manufacture Of this syrup has
been brought about by the Bu-
reau Of Chemistry, United States
Department Of Agriculture.

went to Grangeville with his crew
of twelve men to survey a section
Of road in that vicinity, was found
dead in the hills several miles
from that town last Saturday, and
the officials who investigated the
case brought back the following
sad story of his demise:
A report on the death of w. f.
Adamson, forest highway engi-
|neer, was made this evening by
Coroner A. j. Maugg, who return
ed from the South Fork country

shortly after the report of find
ing the body was received here.
He stopped at the surveyors
camp last night and went into the
canyon after the body this morn
ing. 1t was necessary to carry
the body five miles on stretcher
before a trail and horses could be
reached.
Mr.. Adamson came to his death
from a bullet wound in his head
after he had accidentally shot
himself in the abdomen while
bending over to drink from q
creek. He left the headquarters
camp about s O'Clock Thursday
and two hours later end
ed his life in the canyon about
six miles from the camp.
Thc note left on the blue .prin-
to his mother stated he had acci-
dentally shot himself through the
abdomen while drinking water
from the creek and that the acci-
dent occurred at 10 O'Clock on the
of November 6. Mr..
AdamGon had dragged himself
about six feet from the creek to
the bank of the stream and then
fired the bullet into his brain that
ended his life.
DR.. Maugg stated the body was
found in one Of the most isolated
sections of the South Fork coun-
try. Mr.. Adamson was about 35
years of age and his mother re-
,ides in St. Paul. A message was
sent to the mother and the forest
" officers at Missoula were also
advised. The remains will bel
leld here until instructions have
oeen received. DR.. Maugg stated
he circumstances clearly indicat-
I'd the man had suffered the
wound through the abdomen acci-
lentally and had later ended his
ife by firing the bullet through |
