1t had been dull day for Ser
geant Warren Holiday down AT the
station. Not so much as a friendly
family quarrel had there been TO
break the monotony of his watchful
waiting and the morning papers had
not carried the customary daily story
of a bank robbery, so that there
wasn't even something exciting to
talk about.
Suddenly the door opened. From
the look of terror on the face Of the
dusky coal hauler. Warner reached
for the telephone and the reporter
grabbed his hat.

quick. No; you all amt gone To
You jes' go out there and get them
things out of my way or l amt never
goin' to leave this here Office"
Warren reached around for his
gun, and the reporter started for the
back room, deciding that this was a
story where the details could be
learned just as well after it was all
over.
''Whassa matter?"' queried the
|sleuthful Warren, starting for the
door.
You all amt goin' to get no coal
here, till you get them things out of
my way, I'm tellin' you" quoth the
much scared driver.
Warren stepped out to face what
ever might present itself to fnd-his

won't hurt nobody, but | amt takin'

climbed onto the wagon.

of the meeting was to take steps
looking to the organization of a

visitors included F. j. Bailey, Sec

of the Northwest Mining Truth; o.

SUGGESTS PLAN
FOR CHEHAL|S
PROBATION OFFICER WOULD
HAVE CREDIT SYSTEM FOR
BOYS PAROLED
Thinks Office of Home Finder Should
Be Established to Place
the Boys

A plan for the improvement of
conditions in the state training
school for boys at Chehalis has
been submitted by Probation Of
fcer Petty to the senate committee
appointed to investigate the school.
In support Of his plan, which in
cludes the creation of new office to
find homes for boys, Mr. Petty tells
of five boys who have been placed
in homes in this county. His letter
in part follows:
The Training School
1t appears evident that the train
ing school has been the subject of
more criticism than any other state
institution.
1t has been said that the school
affords a training to qualify boys
for the state reformatoilt at Mon
roe. Others claim that after boy
has been in the institution for
period of years, he is untitled for
any work or occupation on the out
side. Others claim that the insti-
tuition is old and antiquated, and
that the farm is nonproductive
swamp and should be abandoned.
And still others seem to believe that
the best solution of the boy problem
is to consolidate the state training
school with the reformatory at
Monroe.
True it is that the writer made
some severe criticism of the insti-
tuition while employed as an officer
there in 1914; this criticism, how
ever, was made when the severe
corporal punishment policy was in
force; when the boys were lashed
by every officer and teacher in the
institution, for any and all offenses,
and under any and all circumstances.
A comprehensive written report of
these methods was submitted by the
writer to the state board of control,
and thorough investigation ensued.
After this investigation this lashing
policy was almost eliminated, es-
pecially under the management of
DR.. Geo. A. Scheff, and the present
incumbent, Thos. B. Horn.
This seems to be time when
everyone is being criticised, from the
president and governor to the baker
and butcher.
1t is often said that honest criti-
cism is always in order, but it seems
that anyone who is competent to
offer criticism should be able and de-
manded to offer something better, but
this is rarely, if ever, the case.
l wish to suggest plan, which
in my opinion would be an improve
ment, and if carried into effect
would result in accomplishing
great good not only for the boys in
the institution, but would be a great
saving to the state.
First, establish a credit system or
an honor roll in the school, and give
the boys to understand that anyone
on this roll was eligible to parole,

D MARKET STREETS

Every county in the state is repre-
sented and the interest in tractors is
perhaps, the prime one. 1t has been
proved now that the soil of this state
is particularly fitted for the mechan-
ical cultivators, and so all leading
types of machines are on view. The
prices of the clod busters vary from
$3.50 to $4,000. Some of them look
like the army trench tanks; they are
almost human, seeding and cu1tivat-
ing as well as turning up the sod.
