LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. Mrs.
Laura Connor, woman member of the
state penitentiary commission, has
created an uproar by her expose of
conditions in the state penitentiary.
She has made public IL series Of re-
forms which are needed, and which
include the observance by the COM
mission Of state laws and it's own
rules. Among her recommendations
are:
That a way be devised by which the
sweaty garments Of convicts be left IN
the wash house to dry at night. to
prevent foul odor in the sleeping quar-
ters.
That convicts be required to work
but nine hours daily from July Is un-
til September 5 and also be required
to bathe twice a week.
That the law regulating corporal
punishment, requiring that beatlngs
shall not exceed ten strokes, be en-
forced.
That the law requiring that each
punishment inflicted be recorded, be
enforced.
That minor infractions of the rules
be punished with longer hours, harder
jobs and cutting off privileges, as a
substitute for the strap.
That food be ample and that con-
victs be permitted to make complaints
to the commission without being pun
ished for it.
Mrs. Connor is denounced as
visionary" One newspaper declared
her demands are unreasonable; that
mo sound business: man would in
dorse them," and that "the men men,
bers of the board would continue to

Draft Horses Are
in Demand; Europe
Con,bed for Stock

Looking forward to a big demand
for work horses here and abroad as
soon as trade conditions become
normal, the Tri-State Fair, Superior,
Sept. to 9, is offering large prizes
for draft horses.
The horse industry of the Old
World, from which nearly all Of our
breeds of horses came originally, has
been nearly eliminated according t.
horse breeders who have made a sur
vey Of Europe. Belgium, France, and
the British Isles report tremendous
shortage Of pure-bred horses.
There is much argument that the
horse is better than the tractor, and
the tractor better than the horse,''
said Secretary L. G. Ross, but in the
opinion Of fair officials there is
room for both. The horse has al
ways been of great service as a work
animal on the farm, and will con-
tinue to be. That's why we are in
terested in offering such generous
prizes."

Tanning "KHIer" Dog
for CrlDood Film
Was a Trying Task

Tim. the big wolf-dog who plays
the part of "Kazan" in the screen
version of James oliver Curwood's s
gripping story OF the same name, is
real killer" of the great north
country.
Bertram Braeken, who directed
the production. which opens a
weeks engagement at Moore's Ri
alto Theater today, spent many
days securing the Canadian North
west to find a suitable dog type
for this thrilling tale of love and
adventure in the wilds.
At last he found Tim. the pick
Of a proud trapper's dog team.
You can't use him." the trapper
told Bracken. He can't be beat
on the trail. nor can he be beat by
any other dos. He's dangerous, |
tell you. He's a killer, and you
can't make him do what you want
before a movie camera. That critter
has already killed three Of my best
pack dogs and / couldn't tell you
how many others he killed before
l got him.
But Bracken was fascinated by
the blazing yellow eyes Of the
swapping. sstraining Tim. Half wolf
and half Eskimo dog, Tim, with
his shaggy coat of jet black curly
hair. was a handsome. IL ferocious,
specimen to look at. When his lips
curled back in a fierce snarl he re-
vealed a set of glistening white
fangs that made the director shiver.
But Tim was an ideal type ana
Bracken took him.
Then the director had a real
problem on his hands. This was
the dog he had selected to lead a
pack OF wolves and to turn on that
same pack when they attack the
one girl who had been kind to him
in his life. This was the dog who
was to save the same girl again
when, helpless in a trapper's iso-
lated cabin. she is insulted by an
intruder. This was the same dog
who was to sink his fangs into the
throat of a lynx who had killed
his own brood and blinded his
mate. This was to be the Kazan
of James Oliver Curwood's story
who wreaked a terrible revenge on
one BLACK" McCresdy and once
more rescued the girl who had be-
friended him. All of which was
eventually caught by the camera,
but how and with what naturalness
