SAYS PAROLE LAW AIDS CRIME
The state Statute Attacked BY District
Judge Prisg Of Mcpherson
In Refusing Plea.

"The too free granting of paroles by
some Of the courts Of this state, and
the law that makes this practice Jos
sible is proving to be one of the most
vital encouragements to crime" de-
clared Judge F. F. Prigg in district
court at Mcpherson, in refusing to
grant parole to Harold Maltby, Ew-
ing Gay and Walter Moore. whom he
had sentenced to the state reformatory
at Hutchinson.
Judge Prigg stated that the parole
law of Kansas was so weak in its con-
struction that young men were COM
hitting crime just on the gamble that
this law which had been enacted TO
decrease crime. would get them out Of
trouble if captured.
He nayed the construction Of the
law and it's Interpretation by some of
the courts of the state. He drew at
tention to the alarming increase in
crime in the state during the past two
years. He pointed out that McPher-
son County has the heaviest criminal
docket in twenty-five years.
Reviewing the testimony given in
the case of the three men in whose
behalf the application for parole had
been made, Judge Prigg stated that
the evidence clearly showed that three
distinct crimes had been committed
and as the true purpose of the parole
law was for the giving of another OPP
portunity to make good to young men
who were first offenders, he could
not be true to his obligation to the
state and grant the parole.
The young men who will shortly
start serving at the reformatory are
the sons Of prominent families Of this
community. They were recently ar
rested on charge of breaking into a
clothing store of that city and steal
ing goods valued at $500. They ad-
mitted this crime. After their arrest
they confessed to the stealing of an
automobile from a local garage and
the robbing of q general store at
Little River, Kas. Clergymen and
business men of the city were behind
the move to secure the parole which
was denied by Judge Prigg.
''The midwest farmers have ch1I-
1enged American business to do bust
ness as usual and to bring about an
Immediate readiustment of all prices"
J. G. Mohler, secretary Of the Kansas
state board Of agriculture, said re-
Gently. Mohler pointed to the great
buying power of the farmers of the
sixteen midwest states comprising the
great grain belt and said the farmers
of these states are ready to go to buy
ing on large scale when the mer-
chants reduce their prices to CORE
spond with the reductions the farmers
have been forced to take.
Unemployment apparently is, in
creasing in Kansas. For the fifth
consecutive week the report of the
Kansas free employment bureau shows
a surplus of 1aborers. The number
who applied for work at the six branch
offices of the bureau was SIC, as com.
pared to applications for help number
ing 800. This is the largest surplus
of unemployed yet reported. The num-
Der referred to jobs was 322, while
261 were reported as placed. For half
OF those who applied no positions
were obtained. according to the re-
port.

 in the construction details
 that now are being worked out for the Lyman dam pro- ject near St. Johns are ex- pected soon, a committee from the capitol being due to leave for St. Johns tomor- row evening.

POOR PLACE FOR BOOTLECGERS

Bootleggers have little pat ronage in the border town of Nogales. They do not satisfy a long felt want. A Nogales resident who de- velops a thirst, having per mission of the federal auth critics to cross the border, merelystepsacrossthes street, enters a swinging door and names his liquor. It is as simple as going down to the corner saloon in the old days.
 If he names whisky, he does not get it. Barkeepers in Nogales, Sonora, just across a narrow street from Nogales. Arizona, are not allowed to sell whiskey, for Sonora is partly dry. But he can get beer, wine or te- quifa and many a Mexican, unable to secure whisky, is now in terms of intimacy with the fiery liquor of Mex leo.
 Some of the bars on the Mexican side are elaborately equipped and operate hand some dining rooms in con- junction.
 Americans who like beer with their luncheons or wine with their dinners cross the border at mealtime.
 One may buy liquor as lib- erally as he pleases in No gales, Sonora, but he must carry it inside of him when he recrosses to the Arizona side. Federal inspectors closely scrutinize everyone coming through the gate in the high wire fence in the international street.

THE FAIRBANKS COM PANY THROUGH

Douglas Fairbanks ano company who have been film. ing scenes in local settings for the past week, will return to the coast tonight after a successfully pleasant sojourn in this vicinity. It is said some wonderful scenes were taken on the reservation north of town and many amusing tales are told of the endeavor to explain the ne- tricacies and requirements of motion picture acting to the "extras," consisting mostly of Hopi Indians.
 Whether this picture is to be called ''The Makin's' or "The Mollycoddle" will make no difference in the local in- terest whenever it shall ap- pear on the screen. Manager Waters of the Pastime the atre will, undoubtedly show this picture at the first op- portunity.
 With the Indian reserva- tions, pueblos, the Petrified Forest and the Painted Des- ert as settings, Holbrook of. fers a distinct attraction to. motion picture companies re- quiring locations of this na- ture.
 As a whole, the weather has been excellent for the taking of pictures while "Doug. and his company have been pastiming among. us.

THE MILK QUESTION

hIm IS not expensive. The usual market price of milk in Holbrook is twenty cents. A 2 pound can of whole Kim makes ten quarts of whole milk and costs $1. 85 a can. or S1.80 each for two cans. This is eigh- teen cents a quart for whole rich milk, containing a large percent age of butter fat. A 9 pound can of skinned Kiln makes 123 quarts of skinned milk, con- taining all the protein, albumen and other muscle and tissue building materials, in fact all the nourishment of the whole milk, minus only the butter fat. and costs $1. 30 a can, or SIPS each for two cans. This is ten cents quart for food equal in nutritive value to several times ten cents worth of nourishment obtained from any other food. Experiment has proven that good milk at twenty-five cents a quart is cheaper than any other kind of food of equal nutritiYe value.
 K linn is not a substitute, neither is anything added to pre- serve it, and nothing is taken, out of itexcept the water. When the water is replaced we have the same rich milk as at first.
 The process of separating the powder from the water breaks up the fat gIobules and renders it more digestible. For that req son Kim is excellent for feeding to infants. children and lnvalids.
 If you find this whole milk too rich to be palatabie try mixing one part whole and two parts skinned. Try it and see If you do not find it better than what you have some times seen used under the name of milk. This reduces the cost to 123 cents a quart.
 Listen, further:-We are now able to furnish Kim in five pound cans. A f1ve-pound can of whole powder costs $3. 40, or $3.20 each for two cans, and makes twenty quarts of whole milk per can. A fiYe-pound can of skinned powder costs $2. 20, or $2 each for two cans, and makes twenty-five quarts of skinned milk per can. A mix ture of one part whole to two parts skinned reduces the cost to less than eleven cents aquart. Get the Kim habit and reduce the H. c. L.
 Several babies in Holbrook are being fed on Kim with the best results. If interested we will refer you to their enthusiastic parents. Or ask your doctor. Dr. Wiley, the food expert. says this Merrell-Soule process is the best way to treat milk to pre- serve all that is pure and whole some in it. !"
 If-you have not had an oppor- tunity to try Kiln, call at my residence or at the Navajo Gar age, where you may observe the method of mixing and will be treated to a cup of the best milk you ever tasted.
 If inconvenient to call. just phone 86. if you live anywhere in Holbrook, and we will call at your residence and demonstrate Kim.
 Trial package. containing one one-pound can each of whole and skinned. $1.25. This makes four quarts of whole and five quarts of skinned milk.
 Kim will be mailed to any postoffice in my territory at prices quoted above. post paid. Write for free booklet. Further information cheerfulIy given.

HOLBROOK OIL
 FIELD NOTES
Present and Prospective Activity Will Bring
 Large Results

Interest in the negotia- tions that have been pro- gressing for the past few weeks, toward the start of activity by new and large interests, continues keen. 1t is stated on good authority that satisfactory progress is being made and that large tracts of acreage, which the big fellows consider neces- sary, has been offered.
 At a meeting held at the Court House Tuesday night last Senator Mayield and others explained the require ments that are being and will be exacted from those seeking to interest large drill ling interests.
 In the meantime, the Hol- brook Oil Company continues active and the fond expecta- tion of Dad Hastings that a softer formation may soon be encountered, may be realized, as there is a slight change in the formation at the present time. The big walking beam has been re- paired and water hauling can now be accomplished as the field is thoroughly dry.
 Managing Director Cook of the Adamana Oil Co.,, states that plans of the con- pany are so far advanced that it is expected to resume drilling in the very near fu- ture. It is not unlikely that an announcement of interest will be printed in cur next issue, relative to the resump- tion of work at this well.
 Manager Ben McCloskey of the Black Canyon we'll, states that aside from ob- stacles incident to a pioneer field, matters are progress ing nicely at this well.
 Announcements of t h e Apache and Zuni Companies are expected at any time, andshouIdtheH Hopi Company conclude to finish their well it would arouse much popu- lar approval.
 Taken as a whole, the situation. while, of neces- sity. Not as lively as before the cold weather stunted operations, is accomplishing energy under the surface that whenit breaks will more than make up for the recent conservative period. Much attention is being attracted to the Field and large com panies are quietly making plans for spring development

FINEST OF ALASKAN PICTURES
 BACK TO GODS COUNTRY

synopsis of the above pictur (which will be shown at tn
 Pastime Theatre Thursday March 11th:
 As Dolores LeBeau, woodland girl, whose kindly
 nature has won her the love
 of even the most savage beasts of the forest, Mel lShipman meets Peter Burke.
 a novelist, roaming the wildS of Canada for material fol his new book. Both are in Ispired by the love of animals to whom they show kindness. How this consideration fol dumb brutes is repaid after Peter and Dolores, married, go into the Arctic region to investigate conditions among the Eskimos is most grip pingly shown when Wapi, the killer, a great Dane dog, whose friendship Dolores has won, saves their lives.
 Beasts of the forest were the playmates of Dolores LeBeau, who lives with her father in the wiIds of Can ada, loving the God-be- slowed Bsauty of the wood- lands and lavishing her af- lection upon two score semi savage beasts who had been taught, by the sympathy and bravery of her nature, to love her. Bears and moun- tain lions, foxes, wild cats and raccoons, all respond to the caresses of the kind hearted Dolores, who has grown up among them, ab- sorbing the knowledge that kindness to others, even ani- mals, is reflected back to the donor. Her worldly educa- tion is given her by her father, a trapper, whose love for nature had led him to forsake city life for the hard but wholesome existence in Gods own country.
 How was she to know that over in the Arctic zone there was an animal descended from a generation which had been mistreated. She was yet to meet the most inn portant animal in her life Wapi, The Killer, a great Dane dog, possessed and mis- treated by Blake, a trader in Eskimo slaves and post keeperin in the farthest reaches of the frozen north.
 Terror staggers Dolores one June morning when, hearing a shot fired, she turns to find that a hunter has killed a deer which she has cared for and tended since it was a fawn. En- ragged she turns to the hun ter, and sobbingly scolds him for his cruelty. His appar- ent sorrow and his pleas for forgiveness finally reach her generous nature and she be- comes friendly, learning that he is Peter Burke, a novel, ist, roaming the wilds of Canada in search of material for his book.
 A few days spent at the woodland cottage of the Le Beau's are delightful for Peter. A love, inspired by the nature of a man whose sentiments agree with the genuine adoration for na- ture in the soul of the girl, is created and Peter and Do l lereS becOrne enpaOed.
