Warden Thomas of the Ohio
Penitentiary Solves a
WorrlSome and Apparent
Iy Mysterious Problem.
lny Th, Assoclnted Pre.s.l


! Columbus, O., Feb. G, -- Calling
/ to mind the village gossip, and
! how quickly news travels in a
small town, solved worrisome
and apparently mysterious prob
lem, affecting some 1000 con-
! victs, for Warden Preston II.
Thomas, Of the Ohio penitentiary,
| here.
Secret and, to all appearances,
mysterious means of commune
eating between prisoners in peni-
tentiaries and big correctional
institutions cease to he pulling
when human nature is consider
ed, in the opinion of Warden
Thomas.
When Thomas took charge of
the big grey stone prison here,
known for the many criminal
characters it has housed, includ-
ing Morgan of Morgan's raiders
Of Civil War times; Cassie Chad
wick, of more recent times, and
lately Red Shirt" Morgan and
Billy" Goldman. he was worried
and puzzled at the apparently in
applicable way news of a conf
dental or quasi-seCret nature
quickly became known to the
prisoners shut up in their cells,
prisoners are gossips, worse
than any small town talker. They
have nothing else to do. Their
minds are working all the time,
They like to talk, and whisper
knowingly behind their hands.
That's the answer" said Thomas.
In, uY,tiNrII ~ hat
clusion, the warden continued, he
had diligently and painstakingly
probed theories of secret sign
languages, unknown channels of
communication, systems Of rap
ping on cell doors, and even tele-
pathic means.
Il was up against it, until
ahcared the problem of all its
mysteriOusness, and stopped to
think that there is only one way
news travels in any large gather
ing by word of mouth" Thomas
continued.
"Of course prisoners had to get
the word some way. | inVesti-
gated that and found dishonest
guards and even some officials TO
blame. They would drop a word
here and there to prisoners,
whom they wanted to impress
upon that they We're in the
know
Prison life makes men suspi-
cious, develops their minds to a
remarkable degree 1t makes in
veterate gossips of them. They
buzz, buzz, worse than any old
woman. Their minds are con-
stantly tuned up to catch the
slightest word affecting them. A
word here. another there, and
their minds, with nothing else to
do, piece together a complete
story. Sometimes they conjecture
right from scraps of conversation.
GOTTEN times, I've told Il guard,
or official ! suspected, a lie, con-
corning the prisoners. In every
instance it would be known to
every man in the PEN
itentiary in a short time.
THE homily that walls have
ears is true of a peniteEtiary.
There's only one way to prevent
prisoners from 1T least knowing
a part of anything YOU want to
keep secret. That is not to tell
it to a soul"

Transportation and rations for
15-day encampment with regular

when the strength Of the guard in
the state permits, state encamp-

eral Brown said.
Adiutant General Brown as
sumed the duties of his office Feb
ruary 2 and is now in the midst Of
a reorganization Of the office.
THE reorganization will be on
strictly military basis" he stated,
"The war department will probably
send a retired army officer here to
look after the purely military mat
ters and advise with the office Of
the adiutant general. It will also
send a supply officer to look after
the federal property in the state
and issue supplies on requisitions.
Under the new status Of the ma
tional guard the adjutant general
holds a civil position under the state
and a military position under the
federal government"
Speaking Of the local cavalry
troop, General Brown said that
horses had been requisitioned from
Fort Bliss and would probably ar l

BUDDHISTS CAVE .
{. s. DELEGATES
WARM WELCOME
Try The Associated PressD

Topeka Kans,, Feb. 6.-Ameri-
can delegates to the international
Sunday school convention in Toxic
were surprised at the eurdiality
shown them by the Buddhists, said
j. II, Engle, secretary of the Kan
sas Sunday School association, who
was one of the delegates. The
Buddhists also were holding a sun
day school convention in Toxic,
having established the schools
modelled after the Christian Sunday
schools. The Buddhists invited a
delegation of the Christians to at
tend their convention, and a party
Of ten was sent.
"The Buddhists even have adopt
ed many of our Sunday school
hymns" said Mr. Engle, using
the tunes and words as nearly sim
liar as possible We heard them
singing the familiar Jesus Loves
Me- But their words ran: 'Buddha
loves me, this ! know, cause the
Veda tells me So. "
After the hall in which the Sun
day school convention was to be
held was burned down, the Budd-
hists took an active part, Mr.. En-
gle said, in obtaining the Imperial
theater, the expense of which was
heavy for 1t included meeting the
demand of the theatrical company
which was billed at the theater.
"a general feeling which might
be described as anti-American was
apparent in Japan" said MIR. En-
gle, but the American delegates
were most courteously received and
entertained. Expression of this
antipathy was manifested in press
and public utterances."
A personal opinion on why there
lis anti-Japanese feeling in the
United States was expressed thus
by Mr.. Engle: ...-
Because the Japanese by their
| intelligence and industry make
five blades of grass grow where but
one blade grew before"

GOOD WILL
A. Unusual Gift

Monday. March q, c. w. Hinckley
met Albert Jewell Of Fairfield and
Frank Besse of Clinton, at the Peo-
pies bank in Waterville. The two
gentlemen informed Mr.. Hinckley
that an agreement had already been
reached by which the Good VIII
Home Association was to become the
owner of the $50 acre-more or less
plot of woodland which has been
numbered the past four seasons by
Jewell &, Son. Mr.. Jewell had made
some concessions: Mr.. Besse had
purchased the property and would
present it at once to the association.
March 10, the Legislature, at Au-
gusta, passed an act, creating q
game preserve in the town of Fair
field, consisting of land Of the Good
Will Home Association. These $50
acres just presented to Good Will by
Mr.. Besse, will be added to the pre-
serve, but will be known as 1.-THE
Besse Reservation" and the tract on
which hunting is prohibited will be
approximately 1900 acres. While
forestry and the conservation Of wild
life, was the chief consideration,
there is considerable wood which
will be at once available for the
Good Will Homes. The Jewell
camps are situated on the reserva-
ton and will be of real service in
the general plan at Good Will.

steadily declined in spite of the fact
that gambling in WOOL is not encour-
aged through any system of future mar
keting
The law of supply and demand is vim
Dictated, if it needs vindication, in all
types of marketing. First, wool, which
is farmers product and handled ex-
tensively by farmers; second, beef and
pork, handled by what the farmers
claim to be manipulated monopoly by
the packers; and grain, which is sold
in the open market by system of COM
petitive trading or daily open auction
Of values, and the result in all three
Of the methods has been practically the
same.
The bottom has fallen out and the
farmer, as usual, blames it to the sys-
tenn of marketing, although the three
systems, which are as widely divergent
as possible, all bring him the same re-
suit. The price goes down, although
not SO violently in grain as in wool or
pork.
Perhaps if wool should be sold on the
future delivery plan, manufacturers
could 60 ahead, as do the millers, and
make up their fabrics. As it is now,
rather than take chance on radical
price changes in wool, they prefer to
re-work old wool, or shoddy, over as
many as eight times because there is
larger margin of profit in it SO long az
it can be called "all WOOL"

working patiently to remove the gum

Birds and monkeys are captured in
birdlime smeared on the limbs of trees;
they stay in it until some one pulls
them out.
Another way Of capturing small
monkeys is by means Of a sweetened
rag in a bottle. The bottle is covered
with green rattan and tied to a tree.
The monkey puts his hand through
the neck and grabs the rag. He can
not pull his hand out while it is
doubled up with the rag in it. and he
hasn't sense enough to let go.
There he sticks. fighting with the bot

by pressing the nerves in his elbow,
forces him to open his hand and leave
the rag for the next monkey.-Asia.

United States Department of Agricul-
ture shows sc per cent of the farm
women do the family washing and
more than half of them are still using

baking.
The farm woman's work day aver

National Crop Improvement Service.1
TIME FARM BUREAUS of Michi-
gan and some other states have
formed a wool pool and there
are now about four billion pounds Of
manufactured virgin wool in the
worlds storehouses. With the coming
spring clip, there will be another bill
lion pounds, two years supply at the
rate of consumption in America.
Ninety per cent of the 1920 clip is
still unsold and the prospects of selling
the 1921 clip within year are extreme
ly slim.
Such conditions are enough to destroy
any industry. With the vision of q
wool market fading and the cost of feed
and labor high, it is not surprising that
our sheep population diminished 1851
600 in 1920.
The "truth-in-fabric" law, will prob
ably lead to standard grades of wool
which will be recognized the same as
grain is recognized, by description
rather than by sample.
Farmers have long claimed that if
they could have a monopoly on the sale
of their own wares there would be no
necessity of having any marketing ma
chinery; that consumers would come to
the warehouses and buy the product at
the farmers own prices.
This, however, has not proven true
in the wool game. They have practi-
cally monopolized all the wool in the
country, or at least enough to largely
