FEDERAL AID PROJECT
AWAITS AN ESTIMATE

At meeting of the county COM
missioners Monday, the claim of the
State Highway Department for ST.
100000 for the work of the prelimin-
airy survey and incident expenses, for
the Federal Aid project in Texas
County was allowed, Commissioners
Hall and Glatthaar voting aye, and
Landess nay. Owing to the fact that
the County Excise Board had not
passed the county estimate, County
Treasurer Jack Curtis decided he
should not register the warrant at
the present time. The County Elk
else Board can call a meeting and
approve the estimate at any time it
sees fit, the money for this purpose
being in the county treasurer's
hands The County Excise Board has
nothing to do with this claim, and
are not called upon to pass on or con-
slider it, it being no part of the bus
mess of that body. There is ample
money in the fund in the hands of the
treasurer to pay the claim land a
great deal more and the claim will
no doubt be paid just as soon as the
excise board meets and makes its es-
timate.-Guymon Herald.

And that's what the Hutchinson
Reformatory is doing for hundreds
Of young men.
"That letter is only one of scores of
the same kind" said Mr.. Ormsby, who
keeps in close touch with ''his boys"
after they leave him. And they're al
ways leaving.
There are at the present time %
graduates of the printing department
of the reformatory out on parole.
Eighteen of the 20 are working at the
trade they learned in the institution.
They are in Kansas City, Wichita,
Denver, Portland, Ore, all over Kan
sas in print shops, some back east, all
working in the printing trade.
They are linotype operators, press
men, job printers, some got into the
newspaper end of the business; one is
holding good job on the editorial
staff of Denver paper.
Only one of those on the list has
gone bad-only' one out of %. Which
is 100 per cent better average at that,
than the carpenter of Nazareth found
when he picked his twelve disciples,
for one of the IL went bad.
This one was bad at heart, it de-
veloped. 1t was learned, after his
parole, that he had previously served
time in two other penal institutions
for stealing diamonds. After he left
here he drifted to Nevada, and got in
to the old trouble, stole some jewels
and is now serving Is year sentence
in the Carson City pen.
But he is the only one who slipped
and fell.
The printing plant at the reforma-
tory is regular place. There are two
linotypes, two job presses, a paper
cutter, over 200 fonts of display type,
and everything that printing plant
requires. Not only blank work, and

MAKING USEFUL MEN
FROM WORTHLESS KIDS
That's What the State Reformatory
10 Doins-Teaehing Them
Trade.

One day a worthless kid--that's
what folks called him, anyway-who
had stoen something, was sentenced
by a judge in the eastern part Of the
state to the state reformatory, and
was brought to the Hutchinson in
stitution.
That worthless kid" is today hold
ing good job as pressman in one
of the biggest printing concerns OF
the country, drawing $24 week, with
a chance of advancement, has a
steady job and is highly thought of.

can't thank you too much for what
you have done for me-"
Now there wsn't anything very
bad with that boy. He just hadn't
had chance. Nobody took any inter-
est in him. When he was sent to the
reformatory some folks probably
thought he was a convict going to
prison, to put in years at hard labor,
pounding rock or something.
But it wasn't that way at all. He
merely come to school. He found
friendly folks ready to help him. He
found a chance to learn trade. He
didn't know thing about it but he
started in at the bottom. He went to
school and got an education.
It wasn't long until he was ready to
graduate and now he is self respect
ing, Woodworking steady, reliable
young man, pulling down a good pay
check.

WARD ENTERS DENIAL

Port Chester, Sept. 1s.-Ulricf Weisendanger, formerly sheriff ol Westchester county. now a leader oi the independent republican faction endeavoring to bolt the leadership ot William l.. Ward of Port Chester charged yesterday that the Ward fac tion is using money to win the pri-
 mary contest tomorrow. The Ward jtes denied the charge.
 Both sides are confident of victory. the insurgents being particularly hopeful for the success of J. Henry Esser of Mount Vernon, their candi- date for district attorney, against Ar thur Rowland of Yonkers, who is at tached to the present district attor- ney's office in White Plains. The light, particularly in this Instance. is centering largely around the Ward killing case, although Walter S. Ward, who is charged with killing Clarence Peters last June, is no kin of Will liam L. Ward.
