Has $500 Fire Loss Just Before
Midnight on Monday Night.

The building and machinery Of the
plant of the Star Ceaning company just
plant of the Star Cleaning company just
west of the North Western railroad on
Market street was damaged by fire to
the amount of $500 by fire which
broke out just before midnight Mon
day evening. The origin of the fire
is not known but it is believed to have
resulted either. from defective wiring
Of the building or from an overheated
pipe leading from the heating plant.
There was no one in the building
when the fire broke out and it was dis
covered by railway worker who was
at work on the switch engine. The
flames spread rapidly to all portions
of the plant and the frement had a
hard fight to get them under control.
1t was said that the loss on the build
ing would be $500 and the loss on the
machinery and contents $780, Both
losses are fully covered by insurance.
Meyer Ward, the proprietor Of the
business, is making plans for the erec-
ton of new plant and the damage
done by the fire may hasten the carry
ing out of the plans. While the fire
did lot Of damage the company had
so arranged its work that the business
was being carried on today.

''Telepathy in Prison
Bunk" Says Official

Jefferson City, Mo.-The mysterious
oners in the large penal institutions
of the country is simply the result of
permitting visitors within the prison,
the chairman of the Missouri state
prison board believes. Maybe it's
telepathy but the explanation appears
to me to be simpler than that" Will
liam R. Painter, chairman Of the Mis-
souri, prison board said.
"Gossiping and unnecessary CONVEX
sation is forbidden, Of course" said
Painter, "but, as matter of fact, the
rule requiring silence is not and can
not be enforced In the Missouri
prison, as in most others, convicts are
used for runners or. messengers. These
men are TRUSTEES and have consider
able access to executive Offices, corri-
doris and in fact, all parts of the
prison. These men are usually con-
victs who have been in the institutions
for considerable length of time and
they soon learn to interpret the mean
ing of meetings and conferences of
officials. They even get shrewd enough
to interpret from the expression of
persons conversing at distance a
surprisingly accurate estimate of the
conversation. Visitors bring in a
great amount of miscellaneous inform
alton and there isn't any way to pre-
vent it unless the practice of permit
ting convicts to receive visitors is
stopped.
There is another phase Of the ques-
ton that is seldom discussed and that
is a great deal more interesting. That
is the way prison officials keep ahead
of what the inmates are up to-. Diff
ferent systems are. used in different
prisons but the executives in all of
them are mighty we'll informed on the
gossip and doings of the men. If. they
are not, there would be more trouble
than can be realized. Our system, at
the Missouri prison is a secret that
we could not divulge for if it were
known it would become ineffective at
of any kind is almost unknown within
the prison now"

Green Bay Feels
House Shortage

Green Bay, W1s.-This city in com
mon with other cities in the country
is suffering from a shortage of build
ings suitable for residence and bust
ness purpose. Figures obtained from
the Association of Commerce report
this city short 500 homes. If it were
possible to obtain their erection, 1000
buildings could be utilized, officials
say. During 1920 which was the most
favorable year since 1916, 113 homes
were built Officials of the Associa-
ton of Commerce stated that at least
200 homes should have been built for
the people of Green Bay, to care for
the increase in population. The out
lying districts show the largest build
ing. It is estimated that 5000 per-
sons earn their livelihood in the city
who reside in these districts. The ma
ural increase in the population of the
city proper is 500 year through the
births alone.

MEREDITH SPEAKS
TO BADGER FARMERS
Greatest Need of the Farmer is Study
of Cost Statistics, Says Secretary
of Agriculture.
(By Associated Pressl


Madison, Wis-Secretary of Agri-
culture E. 7. Meredith told Wisconsin
farmers, gathered in the University Of
Wisconsin Monday to study marketing
conditions for farm products, that the
greatest need Of the farmer today is
"cost statistics" "The whole problem
of the actual and necessary cost of
distribution of each commodity" said
the secretary, Should be carefully
studied under different systems and
different conditions until a reasonable
and just cost, under an efficient meth
cd, has been obtained. With the cost
of production and the cost of distribu-
tion known and with statistics of pro-
duction. of storage and of the move
ment of commodities readily available,
it should be possible for the intelligent
producer, middleman or consumer to
determine for himself what any com
modify should be worth at a given
stage of its distribution and what is
fair compensation for any step in the
process under various conditions" Mr..
Meredith frankly chided farmers for
CHelE TACK OF foresight ana want OF
appreciation for the labors of the
agricultural research workers. "Too
many farmers think that little remains
to be DONE" said he, "many people be-
lieve the task Of today is simply APP
plying the knowledge already in hand
AS matter of fact, we are confronted
with the most serious problems. The
breeding of domestic animals is still
matter of chance. The control of
animal parasites is another matter"
