DALLAS MUNICIPAL
FARM REFORMS MANY
HAbITUAL CRIMINALS
lRv Associated Pressl


DALLAS. Texas, Jan. 20.-The re-
manufacture of broken stamina and
the building up of both physical and
moral power in men and women COM
prising all the types of persons in the
down-and-out category. is the nature OF
work being accomplished daily at the
Municipal Farm, owned and operated
ty the City of Dallas, according to
Commissioners L. E. MCGEE, under
whose indirect supervision the rescue
work is carried on.
Started first as an experiment, the
city farm institution has proven such
en- effective aid to those in charge OF
all classes of rescue work in Dallas.
as well as to officials in the city and
county law enforcement departments,
that it has become perhaps the great
est means for starting erring or un-
fortunate persons again on the road to
success and happiness, Commissioner
MCGEE declared.
Reforms Communist.
The city commissioner told of a man
who was recently sent to the city farm
to work out fine imposed by local
authorities. "This man." Mr.. MCGEE
said, was an avowed communist, and
had become hardened to the belief
that the world owed him living, with
out display of his own energies and
talents. He was never known to even
attempt to obtain employment, but
went from house to house demanding
food. He was nuisance wherever he
went. Finally apprehended for crime
with which he was charged by city
police, he was fined and sent to the
Municipal Farm to work out the
money. When he arrived at the reser-
walton, he was still vagabond, early
proving a problem to those in charge
Of activities there.
Shortly after he arrived at the
city's main building plant, he became
the instigator of an attempted delivery
Of prisoners at the institution. More
enacting duties were imposed on him,
although there was no attempt on the
part of the farm authorities to harrass
the prisoner with any unkind treat
ment. AS he became more occupied
with the pleasant farm life and took
on increased vigor in the open air, the
troubles and sordid life he had been
wont to lead in congested cities were
soon forgotten. We were surprised ito
observe in this former criminal, at
the end of only few months, the quail
tiles of a regenerated man, and such he
has proven to be since his release.
The prisoner was released from the
city reservation as soon as his obi
cation to the municipality had been
worked out. The authorities aided
him in securing position, and his
present employer reports that the for
mer vagabond is working with will
and has new ideas of life
In Heatthfui Location.
Mr. MCGEE said this was only one
instance out of many, where both men
and women had been lifted from the
depths in which they had lost them
selves, into sphere of regeneration,
through aid of the city farm.

Territory.
Territory.

On last Dollar Day, offered bargain in butter
wraps Someone commented that only few people
used butter wraps. The bargain would have no
ing to those who did not keep cows.
This time offering bargain that will interest
all. For these two days we will cut the price of
years subscription in two
How can we afford to do III Perhaps if we had given
much thought to the subject we should have decided
that we couldn't make any reduction in the price of
the paper. AS matter of fact haven't stopped to
think. We're feeling so ding busted happy the
big supply of water in the Oakley Reservoir, that
just naturally had to do something big by way of
celebration.
The special rate of oneha price limited to year
in advance However, we will give everybody a
chance at the special rate If you already paid in
advance we will mark you still another year ahead
for rs cents
The reduction is temporary and affects only Cassia
county and Vipont. There will be reductions to
subscribers outside of this territory. The price
them is $500 per year

This Teller is on his way
to the big bargain sales at
Oakley, Friday and Satur-
day, June 3 and A. Already
he's full of joyful anticipa-
tons, because he's read in
The Oakley Herald about
the wonderful bargains that
await him. He'll feel still
better after he arrives.
His wife and the Riddles
are also on the way to town
but Wife has gained half a
mile on the Old Man.

This Teller owes someone
a bill, and that's why he
slips around, afraid to look
people in the face, lest he
be asked to pay. You can
tell by loking at him that he
is not using his natural
right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
Take advantage of the
big bargains here June 3
and A, and you will be able
to save money to pay your
bills.

This is the same man as
above shown as he will look
after he has been back in
Oakley Valley two years.
You can see what effect the
prosperity Of the country
will have on his body and
his disposition.
With lots of moisture in
the air and the reservoir
full of water, there will be
plenty to eat at Oakley.
Perhaps several of us will
put on a few lbs.

This Teller is ashamed of
himself because he left
Oakley Valley a year or so
ago. Thought he'd find it
better elsewhere. Now We
see him returning to the
Best Valley in the West.
The only reason why he
doesn't show his joy over
returning is he's feelin' so
doggone peeved because he
ever left.

MODERN WOMEN APING
 ANCIENT PERUVIANS

BERKELEY. Cal. April 1.--Mod- ern women are reaping ancient Peru vians in their change of hair styles, Paul L. Faye. associate curator of the anthropology museum of the University of California declared recently.
 Some years ago." Professor Faye said, women wore high pompa- dours; today they carfeully muffle up their ears. These two lines of variation may be detecte1 in the custom of head-deformation or head compression among the ancient Peruvians."
 Alterations were made by the Peruvians in the successive genera tions, MT. Faye explained, to make their heads look a little more at tactive than in the natural state. A collection of the deformed Peru yian skulls was acquired recently ly the museum.

 MINING EXPERT DIES

Word of the death of Mrs. K. T. Sparks, of Fairbanks, was received here last night in telegrams re- ceived by Representative H. H. Ross. The cause of the death is unknown here, but it is known that it was not unexpected as Mrs. Sparks had been seriously ill for some time.
 The deceased was the wife of K T. Sparks, mining engineer of the Fairbanks Mining Experiment Station of the Bureau of Mines. MT. and Mrs. Sparks went into Fairbanks last year, Mir. Sparks taking the place of H. l.. Gross, formerly at the Fairbanks station, who was sent to the Rollo School of Mines in Mis- souri.

 BARbARY COAST

ROTTERDAM, March 30. The growth of the American merchant marine has brought a new factor, the white-collared ''snappily" dress cd, debonair American sailor. to the Schiedamsche dyke, RotterdaT's 'Barbary Coast"
 While the French, Dutch, English and others who patronize these re- sorts usually are dressed in colored flannel shirts, rough suits and un- polished shoes, most of the Ameri- cans, as soon as they get shore leave, don suits smacking more of the college boy than the sailor, white stiff collars, belted overcoats, fashionable shoes and the character istically American soft felt hats.
 American diplomatic and consular authorities in Holland are very much interested in efforts to provide . substitute for the dyke.'j Dance hall, saloon, dance hall, saloon, d. ternate for almost unbroken monot- ony for several blocks on Schied- amsche dyke In all of them, the chief spenders appear to be Aneri- can seamen, whose pay is larger than ether seamen receive.
 The officials who are seeking some sort of substitute for the dykes attractions say that most of the sailors would go elsewhere if they had a chance.
 But it must not be a namby- pamby resort, one official said. Jack wants music and dancing and beer, as well as reading material and place to loaf, when he gets ashore"

PARIS REAL ESTATE
 VALUES TAKE SLUMP

PARIS. April 1.-The boom seems to have departed from Paris real es- tate values It was enormous while the rise in the prices of rents was on. but now there is general stagna- tion in that business.
 During the boom. fantastic prices were paid for sites for moving pie ture houses and dance halls. 10 times the prices of 1914 were paid for apartment houses and suburban property was up seven times its for mer values.
 The stagnation was attributed to measures taken by the government to curb the exactions of the landlords to the widespread expectation in the decline in the cost of living and to- opposition of capitalists to invest in real estate.

TRADE WITH RUSS POLITICAL ISSUE
Herbert Hoover Discusse;
 Resumption of Relations With Soviet Regime.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Trada with Russia is more political than an economic question as long as Russia is controlled by the Bolshe wiki Secretary of Commerce Her bert Hoover declared today in a statement discussing the problem of resumption of trade relations with Russia.
 "The whole question from a trade roint of view. said MT Hoover, 'detelops into furnishing commodi- ties equal to the gold, platinum and jewelry, variously estimated from se0,000.0 .00n to S200,00O000 in the hands of the Bolsheviki government and after that has been expended there can be little expectation of continued trade.
 "There has been but little trade for the gold beeaiIse it's title has been called into question by the French government and by threats of private actions in the courts on the ground that it is stolen or sub ject to foreign liens. If any one European nation accepts the gold, mo doubt all of them will
 Europe cannot recover it's eco. nomic stability until Russia returns to production. Trading for this par eel of gold would not effect this fremedy-nor would the goods ob- tained by the Bolsheyiki in return for it restore their production. That requires the abandonment of their present economic system"

OIL WELLS TO BE SUNK
 IN MONO LAKES WATER

BRIDGEPORT, Cal, March 31-- which Mark Twain once described as having no parallel in America for acridity, are believed to owe much of their pungency to oil de- posits. At times, the scum from the water contains so much oil that it can be burned when freed from the water, it is said.
 Oil wells are to be sent down soon in the Mono Basin and on Pacha Island in the lake. Several years ago well 2,500 feet deep was driven on the island but the promoters failed to find the source of the lakes oil supply.

LOCATING LOST PAY-STREAKS

{. GRASS VALLEY, Cal, March 31.- sGrizzled miners, who worked in the
 Eureka-Idaho-M Maryland mine here
 thirty-fiye years ago are going back into the long abandoned workings to point out sections from which they took quartz in. the early days.
 The men, some of whom have been sretired for twenty years. are being asked to go into the mine by com fpany which recently took the prop 1erty over and which hopes, by the laid of the veterans, to locate the Host pay-streak.
 . While details are kept secret. it is known that the memories of the Gold miners have been verified in sev-
 eral instances. Thousands of tons of sdebris in the mine make any general sexploration almost impossible.

 No Record oe Voyage
 There is no record of the Deer ings last voyage. She sailed full handed thrilling with life and power. A month later she staggered blindly shoreward, alone by night, to ram her way to her last resting place on wheel; no man stood to slack a sheet or spill the wind from her tortured canvas to ease her death struggle. She was a dead ship. No living thing saw her end.
 Sunset was drawing down the ing when patrols from the life say ing station looked their last for the day across the storm fretted shoals.

And in the weeks that have passed not a word has come to tell what became of her crew. Nobody has been washed up; no remnant of life boat, no clothing came ashore.
 The battered hulk of the big vessel forlorn with toppling masts and old grimy canvas, the hull filling with sand through opened seams, stands a ghostly monument to the uncon- quered power of the sea
