BARRICADE AROUND
co. JAIL TORN DOWN

The old wooden fence surrounding
the county jail is a thing of the past
1t is being removed to be replaced by
an iron structure, according, to the
orders of the county board. This fence
and the old boiler house, also doomed
to go, are "reminiscences of ancient
days when steam pipes were taken
from the Jail yard into the court
houes through the alley at the north
end OF Court street, In those days
the tenants of the court house during
the cold months always complained
OF the cold, although the course OF
the pipes leading from the boiler
house could be traced by the bare
surface of the ground above them, the
escaping heat from them melting the
snow as 1t fell.

 A revival of this ancient religious ceremony is planned for the 4th of July celebration this year ont the Rosebud reservation.

SILESIAN WOMEN EQUAL MEN IN
 HARD WORK

Rybnik, Upper Silesia.-Women la oorers in mines and factories and on railroads are more numerous than men in several districts of the coal region here. Girls and boys of ten and twelve years are regularly em- ployed, digging ditches, ballasting run-ways, pushing trucks and doing other heavy work which before the war was done only by men.
 This is the territory hitherto a part or Germany but claimed now by Po- land. A plebiscite or vote of the people, soon will be held under the terms of the peace treaty of Yer sallles to decide whether Upper S1le- sla Will remain German or become part of Poland.
 The German mine owners say shortage of labor and postwar eco homie conditions have forced the women and children into this toll which under German administration was forbidden. There is also shortage of manpower because of the great number of soldiers from here who were killed in the war.
 The women engaged in the heavy work generally are Poles distlnguisn- = ed by the bright shaw1-like mead dress which they affect. Some Of them have adopted a modification or man

apparel as better suited to their work. The correspondent saw three women of two score or more who con stituted a section gang wearing heavy trousers under their short skirts.
 The majority of the women wear heavy shoes with thick wooden soles and cloth tops all homemade. Some have heavy boots, which apparently were once the property of, German soldiers.
 Coal veins in this section generally follow closely the surface of, the ground and the work of taking coal out consists of simply digging it up. Some of the farmers have little mines on their land and when their days work is done they may be seen dig ging a. nights supply of fuel. The mine owners do not interfere with these individual mining operations, even when they are carried out on rented farms.
