copious showers on Friday and Sat
uIda7which were Of great benefit to
the gardens and crops in general.
Corn is small for the time Of year,
owing to the very unfavorable weather
conditions.
Cotton has grown very rapidly the
past week and bids fair to make a
good crop. Several of the farmers
have reported the appearance OF the
boil weevil which is discouraging
feature at this time.
Tobacco crop is spotted, being good
in some places and small in others;
oats are being harvested, the crop is
very good and much needed at this
time as the demand for hay and oats
has been ;geater than usual.

A "LIFER'S" BANQUET
Farewell to Sing Sing for One and
Back Again for Guests.

William Perry will be released this
morning from Sing Sing prison on
Governor Smiths pardon. After hav-
ing fifteen years Of life sentence,
says a recent article in the Sun and
New York Herald, and to celebrate
his return to the outside he gave a
banquet last night in the dining room
of the warden's residence, at which
his guests were the warden, Lewis
E. Lawes; Mrs. Lawes, the Rev. VIII
liam E. Cashin, the prison Catholic
chaplain, and seventeen convicts, all
of whom, like Perry had been senten-
ced to life Imprisonment and who have
served more than twelve years.
Perry's dinner is entirely unique in
prison functions. There probably has
never been anything like it in any
prison in the United States. Every
man of the eighteen "lifers" was al
lowed to cross the road that separates
the warden's office from the residence
on his word of honor that he would
not try to escape-and there was not
man among them who made the
slightest effort to get away when he
saw the clear road and possible free
dom in front of him.
The dining room of the warden's
residence had been gayly decorated
with flags and bunting and flowers,
and excepting for the gray uniforms
of the convicts there was little if any
thing to differentiate Perry's banquet
from the scores of official dinners that
have been given by prison officials in
the same room. The guards that nee
essarily accompanied the convicts
were not in the room with the diners;
they were in another room, out Of
sight, and they really were not need
ed.
After the banquet the convicts
marched across the road and back into
the prison with hardly look at the
first bit Of open country and freedom
they had seen for more than twelve
years and which some Of them never
may see again.
Perry is probably the most popular
convict in the prison, and more than
the usual good wishes were expressed
for him in the speeches made by War
den Lawes and Father Cashin to the
banqueters. He had been the waiter
in the warden's residence for several
years and in addition to the few cents
day allowed. him by the State a
considerable sum has been placed to
his account by the warden's guests
who wished to tip him, but who were
not allowed by law to give a convict
money, but who were permitted to
leave gifts with the prison authorities
to be given to the prisoner when he
was released.
Perry will leave Sing Sing with
more money, therefore, than any con-
vict in recent years, although the ex-
penses of last nights fast put quite
dent in his bank roll. He frankly
admitted this in the speech that he
made to them, but he. said he thought
he had got his moneys worth.
"I'm going out of here tomorrow"
said Perry, "and neither this nor any
other prison will ever see me again.
I've got a girl and I've got job, and
I'm going to stick to both"

Good Evening
BY Roy K. MouIton

"a fat and lucious rabbit"
| said, would be the stunt:
1t long has been my habit
To have an animal hunt"
The gang said, That's the ticket"
We hired us a car,
And soon through bush and thicket,
We hunted near and far
tramped through glen and grotto,
Until my spirit flagged;;
Returning to the auto,
With nary RABBIT bagged.
Before we cranked the flivver,
One fellow cried, Look here!"
And midst the grassa 'quiver
I spied a setting hare
Now kick him out! I'll pop him."
NO shoot him there!" they cry;
cor else you'll never drop him;
This grass is far too high"
Another hint they threw out;
"Htn scoot beneath the car,
You'll shoot tire, a blowout
And blooey, there you are"
l aimed above his collar.
And fired. and missed him fair;
Another shot" they boiler,
Hes there, he's there. he's there!"
fired again and missed him,
And still he hadn't fled;
And then l knew their system;
Says l. That rabbits dead"
you've bought Belgian bunny
From FrobeIs butcher shop
They howled, "Oh boy. it's funny"
I thought they'd never stop.
eff we'd a known" they thundered
What fun was in that hare,
We'd blown another hundred
And bought a grizzly bear.

Recognizing the Federal Service

The adoption of sound budget measure to
assure efficiency and economy in the federal ex-
penditures will be long step toward the correc-
ton of some abuses in our national household.
But even if congress should enact this piece of
legislation, the work of reform would be only
half done. Unless departments and bureaus.

be abolished or consolidated, the adoption of a
budget system would in no wise eliminate much
of the unnecessary expense which now attends
the transaction of public affairs.
Waste, red tape and duplication of effort are
inevitable under the present arrangement Bust
ness cannot be expedited because the system
which handles it is inefficient and cumbersome.
Expensive delays hold up matters until the pa
tience of the business men, who has to deal with
some department. reaches the breaking point.
Scientific reorganization and consolidation of
posed in measure which Senator Mccormick of
Illinois intends to present in congress basis
of discussion rather than a solution of the
problem.
1t is hoped that increased efficiency will fol-
low the adoption of measure which will result
from the study of the problem. The task of af-
fecting reform of this sweeping nature will not
be an easy one but attempt to bring about
retrenchment by looping off unnecessary en-
ployes and shutting up bureaus whose work
could be done by other departments would not
displease the public.

The Advantages of Home Rule

No one who has read the articles by Clarence
B. Greene on the operation of the home rule sys-
tenn in the administration of the municipal
affairs of Dayton will disagree with his conclu-
sions as to the advantages of the new scientific
system when compared with the old political
regime.
In his articles, Mr.. Greene presented the new
method of city government from all angles. He
showed how the system made for real efficiency
that manifested ITSELF not theoretically, but prac
ally, in the saving of money for the community
and in the guarantee that the citizens were re-
ccvng full value for every dollar which they
paid in the form of taxes.
Whenever system of municipal government
is able to enlist in its administration capable
men, who are trained for their positions and who
know how to handle city affairs the results are
soon apparent.
Reports from many cities that have adopted
the system indicate conclusively that it is
far superior to the old method, and that the
citizens, who are the real stockholders in the
nicipal corporation, have no desire to abandon
the newly found method of administering their
affairs. Greater proof of the desirability Of the
system could not be demanded.
Richmond requires little persuasion to aban-
don its present system for one. 1t will be
one of the Indiana cities pressing the enactment
of legislation to give Hooser cities the right to

Because, you sec for years the foun-

It's the same with man and with

chance for stability or growth.
Trust is the keynote to each.

he often loaned a million dollars on
