THE DOWN" BUT NEVER OUT
SPIRIT.

In June, 1917, twenty-three-year-
old Charles r. Binford give up his job
as auto salesman to enlist as private
in the marine corps. While overseas,
during an enforced march, pain sud
denly developed in both knees, so that
in a few hours he was unable to walk.
These sudden attacks of pain occurred
internationally while he was in the
service and have continued since his
discharge. AS he could not manage
a car with stiff and swollen knees, he
was declared to have a vocational
handicap and entitled to Section IL.
training by the u. S. Veterans Bu-
reau. Since Binford had only a fifth
grade. education, the rehabilitation ex-
perts had difficulty in selecting a
suitable vocation for him, but finally
decided to give him a practical school
course in electricity, to be followed by
training on the job. However, the
young man asked to be given his
training with a lumber company in
northern Minnesota which was then
ready to install an electrical plant.
He was placed with this company for
a 90-day course as an electricians
helper, and proved himself such a
capable worker that at the end of
three months he was given a regular
| job at Sc per day. Moreover, he now
stands good chance for rapid ad-
vancement from helper to electrician
The case of Binford is cited by the
u S. Veterans Bureau as an illus
tration of just what disabled veter-
an, handicapped and hampered, car
do when opportunity is offered anc
he Is at the same time determined tc
overcome obstacles that fate has
thrown in his path.

number of cases the corn selected is
stored away in such way that quite
an amount of it is damaged by rats
and mice. There should be some
method used that will eliminate this
loss There are various methods in
use, but the method described
here will be found to be
satisfactory and at the same time
easy in the making. Secure a board
of any desired length and width and
begin three feet from the end;- mark
off in squares about three inches each
to be used as guide lines. At the
corners of each square drive a nail
of suitable length to the thickness OF,
the board used, that will extend be-
yond the other side about one inch,
and at a slope. After made, all that
is necessary to do in the storing of
the corn is to place the top end of the
board against the wall and the bot
tom about one foot from the same,
which will prevent rats from climbing.
And, by sticking the butt end of the
ear on the nail, they viii dry out per-
fectly and will keep in perfect con-
dition.

old house of correction at Rutland which
had been discontinued for economy $
sake.
Two or three legislatures ago an in
vestigation was made and it was decided
that q womens wing was needed at the
state prison at Windsor. This was al
together reasonable and an appropria-
ton was made for this purpose.
Then came the proposal TO move the
women from Windsor entirely, and the
preposterous claim was made, and APP
proved by the legislature, that the only
safe way to handle male and female
prisoners was to keep them apart with
distance of not less than - miles be
tween them.
That sounds like it couldn't be true,
but if one will consult the newspapers
files of the time, it will be found to be
exactly the argument advanced. What
mockery of prison walls--a 23-mile
safety zone. And 40 the state goes about
establishing n new prison institution.
When legislative opinion swings first
north and then south with every change
of capricious wind, it is little wonder
that expenses grow and new commit
ments are continually being taken on.
And il is so easy to make out a plausible
case for these institutions. especially
when a legislature can be convinced of
| the necessity of 21-mile no-man's land
| between male and female prisoners,
