DIR. Simons said Germany was dis

"SHO JAG" is LATEST
WAY TO DEFEAT NATION
DRY LAWS; EFFECTIVE

AUSTIN. Tex, Feb. 5.-The "silo
ag'' is &c latest in defeating the pur-
pose Of prohibition, according to a
superintendent Of one Of the state
penitentiary farms, who has seen it
work.
A number of trusty convicts re-
turned TO camp several days ago "as
joyful that they did not seem to care
whether they remained as convicts
or went home under full pardons." !"
he said. The men swore they had
been drinking nothing, but when they
showed up drunk again the next day
the superintendent set spies to catch
the bootlegger who was furnishing his
TRUSTEES with intoxicants. These
shadowers saw the convicts climb to
thegtop of big silo and inhale the
fumes arising from the fermenting
contents until they were "drunker
than a billed owl" The convicts were
moved to another portion of the farm
until the silo is ready to be sealed.
