SILENT FOR TEN YEARS; STILL
 HOLDS TONGUE
Talking Got Him in Trouble Corkey
 Writes

Boston, Oct. 28.-"Silent Corkey" Hanley, Massachusetts famous con vict who ten years ago pledged him self never to speak again, spent his first day free man. after 25 years in Charleston state penitentiary, still refusing to break his pledge.
 Even though he experienced the greatest thrills of his lifetime, he kept his strange pledge. His first automobile ride; his first sight of an electric car and his reunion with his family failed to bring from his lips the expected exclamations of sur prise and joy.
 He was visibly affected by the ap- pearance of Boston as he rode through the city to the state house in Warden Shattuck's automobile. The changes of 25 years brought not a word from his lips-onfy a strange guttural sound and complacent smile.
 Even at his sisters home he con tinued his silence, although the mem bers of his family begged him to speak
 He answered his sister the same way that he has answered prison off, cials many times since his voluntary dumbness. He wrote on piece of paper.
 q shall never speak again. My tongue has got me into too much trouble already"
 This was his first explanation for his silence. He wrote a similar req son for refusing to speak when jail officials attempted to draw informa- tion from him after he had, been dis covered making counterfeit half dol lars in his cell. So far he has kept good his unique threat.
 For ten years ''Silent Corkey" has made all his communications by means of a pad and pencil. This was the method he used today when he was interviewed by reporters in the prison office a few minutes before the gates swung open making him a free man.

STORE VEGETABLES FROM GAR
 DEN FOR WINTER USE

Home gardens may be made a means of furnishing a winter as well as summer supply of vegetables if in addition to canning and drying some of the vegetables are stored fresh, states c. Woolsey, horticultu- rist, Agricultural Extension Division University of Arkansas.
 The home garden crops suitable for storage include beets, cabbage, car rots, turnips, potatoes, squashes, on- ions, and sweet potatoes. All vege- tables do not keep well under the same temperature, moisture and air circulation. Beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips and cabbage do best at low temperature in a fairly moist atmos- phere and without much circulation of air. An example of this type may be found in the conical piles and trench es seen in many gardens. Onions demand a very low temperature but one that is dry and must have plenty of circulation of air. Potatoes re- quire about the same temperature as cabbage and beets but requires plenty of circulation of air. Squashes and sweet potatoes require high tempera- atures, around 5 degrees Fahenheit with plenty of circulation of dry air.
 Three places may be available for storing the home supply of vegetables namely, a cellar under the house, out door pits and outdoor cellars, points out Mr. Woolsey. If the house is heated with a furnace the only vege- tables that will keep well in the same room as the furnace are squashes and sweet potatoes. However, partition may be erected which will allow for the storing of vegetables requiring cool temperatures. Beets, carrots, parsnips and turnips will keep better in cellar room if they are buried in boxes of sand or earth. Potatoes should be placed in slated bins where there is free circulation of moisture
 Onions should be placed in slated crates and suspended from the top or roof of the cellar Thus it is possible to have, the crops that require moist atmosphere and those requiring 'dry atmosphere in the same cellar. The moist soil in which the turnips, pars- nips, etc, are stored makes conditions ideal for these crops while the top, dry air IS better suited to the onions.
 Where the winter is cooler in win ter months it is sometimes advisable to store in outside pits. Only those vegetables suitable to moist atmos- phere are successfully stored in this way. The pit should be located in a well drained place. A shallow exca- vation about one foot deep is made in the ground. This is lined with straw. The vegetables to be stored are placed in conical pile on the straw. The conical pile is then covered with straw to the depth of four to six inches. About three to fouf inches of soil is then thrown over the pile leaving a

LEARN TO PREVENT FIRES

Farm fires during 1918 and 1919, according to the National Board of Fire Underwriters, amounted to 38,- 266 fires, causing a loss of S1S,166,- 701. The average claim paid was less than $500, representing not more than 29 per cent of the fire losses. The largest number of fires was caused by lightning striking build ings. Second in order was defective hues and chimneys and sparks fall ing on roofs. Matches carelessly thrown around and smoking was next. Spontaneous combustion due to the heating of hay, etc., took fairly heavy toll. Most of these fires could have been prevented. Farmers owe it to themselves to study the methods of lightning control by prop erly rodding buildings. These have been worked out by the United States Department of Agriculture. Bulletins on the subject can be had free. Before the winter sets in rem edy the defects in the chimneys and fues throughout the house. It will afford some protection and preserve the roof to fireproof the roofs of the buildings with some of the fire-proof fluids or paints now on the market. There is no excuse for the fire start ing from matches or cigarettes care lessly thrown down. Enforce eau tion on the farm, and let the first precautionary steps be the insuring of the building for fair value.

BANKERS GIVE ASSURANCE OF
 COTTON CREDIT

Assurance that the Federal Re serve Banks will lend their assist ance in helping the farmers carry their cotton and market it to the best advantage has been given by at least two high officials of Federal Reserve Banks in the Cotton Belt. Judge W. F. Ramsey, head of the Federal Re- serve Bank at Dallas, stated to the Texas Cotton Organization on Sep- tember 1 that all loans on cotton properly warehoused and insured would be rediscounted when present. ed to that Federal Reserve Bank through it's member banks. On Sep tember 15, Governor M. c. Wellborn of the Federal Reserve Bank of the Atlanta district, which caters to most of the cotton states, stated that his bank, through it's member banks, would accept cotton paper from mer- chants or cotton shippers for 90 days and would rediscount six-months notes made by the farmers them selves up to 80 per cent of the mar ket value of their cotton, if the cot ton was insured and properly ware housed.
 This assistance from the Federal Reserve Banks coupled with the available money of the smaller banks in the South and with the fact that great many farmers havi sufficient finances to carry their dMn cotton without loan, removes bny doubt that the farmers of the South will be able to hold their cottbn suffi- cient length of time for the market to become stabilized. Tlese state ments from the heads of te Federal Reserve Bank are especially timely, inasmuch as there was s{me feeling Of uneasiness that cotton would be forced on the market duk to inade- quate facilities.
 Farmers should take Ahis matter up with their bankers or Isecretaries of the cotton marketing Association or warehouses and arrande for suf- ficient credit to pay off tbeir imme- diate bills and to enable item to car ry their cotton as long d it seems necessary. Short loans If only 90 days would be helpful as they would carry the cotton through Until actual figures show how much tottof was produced until the cotton market is on firm basis. If it is Necessary these short loans can in a1 probabil- ity be renewed at the ehd of that time.-The Progressive Farmer.

small part of the straw sticking out at the top for ventilation. If the weather gets very cold new layer of soil should be added to the pile. Better results are obtained where the piles are made rather small
 Cabbage is not generally stored in conical pits. The plants are pulled, with the roots on, and placed upside down in rows two to three heads wide in shallow trenches Soil is then banked up on the heads. It is not nec- 'essary to bank the soil deeply. The outdoor pit method is better adapted to severe than mild climates. In the warmer section of the state where winter rains are likely to occur such pits are likely to become water soaked and the vegetables to suffer decay.

"Habitual Criminal"

Silent Corkey" Hanley, or Patrick Hanley, as he was known 25 years ago, was sentenced to serve quarter of century in state prison for being an "habitual criminal" He had been arrested several times for larceny, and finally, following his trial for stealing $S4 worth of shoes he was sentenced under the "habitual crimi- nal act" an act which has since been revoked.
 After being in jail few years he escaped, with six others, making Dis flight to freedom through the prison sewer. He was rearrested shortly afterwards. For the last dozen years he has been the jail junk man."
 It was his work to keep the yards and corridors clean, to sort waste and papers and to have charge of the

 Silent Corkey' will never break his silence, according to the jail au- thorities. They point to the fact that three years ago he refused to accept a pardon on condition that he would speak. When members of the state parole board visited him then and of fered him freedom if he would talk, the odd striker stood on his head in a corner of the room and then, jump ing to his feet, wrote
 Not on your life. I can sleep the rest of my bit."

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Bankers Hold Annual Pow-Wow
(By J. E. Jones'

Bankers Hold Annual Pow Wow
 Secretary of the Treasury Houston told the American Bankers Associa- tion at their Washington meeting that there should be a repeal of the excess profit tax, with a suitable sub stitute. The Secretary voiced opinion that the menace of uncertainties, :" should be removed from the taXpay- CTS. After eXCusing the present indis- eliminate tax laws of the Federal Government because they were rap idly assembled to meet the emergen- oies of war, Mr. Houston urged the Wiping out of the irregularities exist ing in the present credit and financial schemes of the Government. He ad- vocated prompt re-survey of all the tax laws. This sentiment was heartily applauded by the bankers of the Nation who were assembled in great numbers.
 Secretary Houston cited many in stances to prove the genuine progress is being made in the industrial and financial affairs of Europe, as well as in our own country. He told the bankers that the foreign investments of Great Britain amounted to $15,000- 100000 of which S3,000, 100000 is in vested in securities in the United States, Even bleeding France" has $S, 000,000,000 invested abroad, and a small portion of this is in Russia. As Uncle Sam's big banker, Secretary Houston's statements showing how "the world is getting on her feet" was received as good news by Amer ica's captains of finance.

Farm Interest and Free Seed

A Cabinet officer who made a hit with the nations bankers at the
 Washington convention, was Secre- tary of Agriculture Meredith, who emphasized the fact that "the farmer must secure his cost of production plus reasonable profit" He de- scribed agriculture as the basic inter- est of America, and declared that in dividual bankers in every community must use their strongest endeavors to promote the welfare of the farmers. Mr. Meredith told of the constructive work done by the Department in pre- venting wheat rust, checking the cat tie tick, the boil weevil, and other pests. He denounced the false econ omy of Congress which put several divisions of the Department of Agri- culture practically out of business, while S250,000 was voted for free seeds for Congressional distribution. The Secretary said that he was sorry that he could not say that free seeds" are "good seeds. He explained that at the close of the season that the Department of Agriculture purchases the "left-overs' from the big seed houses of the country These insti- tutions will not guarantee the seeds sold to the Government, which in turn are distributed throughout the coun- try. A good many people have be- lieved that the Government seeds have special merit, and think that they come from experimental farms and places that insure their quality The head of the Agricultural Depart ment dispells this illusion. He de- scribes the free distribution of seeds as. custom unworthy of being con- tinued, and as piece of wanton waste of public money.

their costs, will, he believes, enable them to buy oil and the other neces- sary supplies for manufacturing their product on an independent basis, with out asking unnecessary favors from anybody. This would enable the gas companies to sell their products to the public at the same reasonable margin of profit that is required in every other industry.
 Midnight Rides
 The Midnight Ride of Paul Re- were" had nothing on a couple of rep resentative business men who had a brief but exciting adventure in Wash ington, on moonlight night. These men, visitors in the Capital, hired a big touring car at midnight, and started out to see the town. Espying couple of attractive women walking on Pennsylvania Avenue, they or dered the driver to stop, and invited the women to join them. The invi- tation was readily accepted, and one of the women, as soon as she was in the car, ordered the driver to "go to the first precinct" A few minutes later the party was landed at po- lice station, and the business men found to their consternation that their companions were none other than the superintendent of the wo- men police and her assistant. They were charged with "mashing" and "disorderly conduct" Bail was fixed at twenty-five dollars apiece, by the dacl caruaapt Tho mn pfoY+IIp a to c gave fictitious names, and then failed to appear in the police court the next morning.

Bankers Are Wise Men

John Skelton Williams is Control Ter of the Currency, a position he holds without having been confirmed by the Senate. He seems to be the prickly briar bush of the Administra- tion. Just as the bankers were about to assemble for their Washington conference Williams broke loose in one of his periodical outbursts and charged that excessive interest rates of New York h: nks have been Ca po- tent influence Tn depressing serl ,usly the prices of all investment bonds and standard shares" His sta.e' lent Wa promptly challenged by bankers who pointed out that money is a commodi- ty, and viewed in that light it has in- creased less in the rates charged for 1t than any other commodity.
 The bankers of the country are in constant touch with the Federal Gov ernment, because of national bank control, the federal banking system, etc. Therefore when a noisy individ- ual like Williams tries to put over sensational charge, he is promptly asked by the bankers of the country whether the fact that money is being loaned for the most part at from 6 to 2 1-2 per cent does not in itself prac- tically refute his claims.
 Bankers are wise men, and they know what the folks back home are thinking. Perhaps they direct most of the industrial and economic thought of their communities more than any other class of people, unless 1t may be the newspaper editors. It is certain that the bankers who visit ed Washington knew most of the de- fects in the Federal system of taxa tion, and they. did not hesitate t. point them out. Some of the fore most members of the Association went so far as to suggest that there should be more business in govern pent and less government in business. This popular belief is doubtless pred icated upon the mistakes that are made in government policies. The Federal Government is in such close working unison with the bankers of the country that the latter have be- come thoroughly familiar with the f. nancial policies of the Government. It therefore developed that Secretary of the Treasury Houston found a re- ceptive audience when he acknowl- edged the gross defects of the exist ing tax laws.
