CONV|CTS SHOT
IN PRISON RIOT
South Carolina Prisoners Re.
fuse to Obey An Order
TRY TO BURN CHAIR PLANT
Through Leaders They Defied The Az.
thorities And Announced They
Would Not Return To
Work.

Columbia, S. CA mutiny of $50
convicts in the State penitentiary was
quieted after IA of the mutineers had
been wounded by penitentiary guards
and city police, two of them being per-
haps fatally shot.
The FIRE chief said the disorder
started when a group of prisoners,
starting from lunch in the main din
ing-room, attacked the guards who
were escorting them.
An attempt by the convicts to burn
the penitentiary chair factory failed.
The outbreak came after the dinner
hour The prisoners were sullen, 1t
is said, because they had been ordered
to turn in what civilian clothes and
other articles they had which we're not
needed by them in prison. Through
certain apparent leaders they defied
the authorities and announced they
would not return to work. Aid was
asked Of the city authorities by the
telephone.
No effort was made to coerce the
prisoners pending the arrival of re.
Inducements from the city. In the
meantime, the mutineers stood in the
penitentiary yard, armed with sticks
and knives obtained from the chair
factory.
Upon the arrival of the detachment
OF city police the mob Of prisoners
surged toward the little group Of blue
coated officers, cursing, snarling and
threatening. A volley from riot guns
met them, and IA men dropped. The
remainder broke and tried to run.
They were rounded up without further
trouble.

Tay for such cities and towns to In
sure snfe milk supply Is through the
cooperation Of two or more adjacent
towns in hiring a milk inspector and
maintaining laboratory. The cost of
supervising such plan may be pro-
rated among the different towns on
the basis of population without the
expense being burdensome to any one
of them. State and federal authorities
are always willing to cooperate in
work of this sort.
This plan of town cooperation in
milk and dairy inspection has been
carried out in different parts of the
country, probably the most conspicu-
Gus example being the group of towns
In northern New Jersey known as
"The Oranges In these towns the
plan has been in use for a number Of

the President to inform the House in

1T will be noted that in the ex.

has been a reduction in the expendi-
lures Of administration over the out

highly gratifying figures relate to re-
duced expenditures which come under
the influence Of executive pressure,
and do not include 500 0oo, 900 of
other reductions which are not related
to the routine business of government.
Compared with this reduction of $9O7,.
100000. the Director of the Budget de-
tailed $25O,134, ,S35. .03 as the sum rep

1T affords an interesting compari-
son to note that the expenditures for
the current fiscal year were estimated
last December by the Director of the
Budget at $3,967, ,922,366, and that the
actual expenditures will be $45,55O,336
less than that estimated With this

DAIRY COWS WORK HARDEST
Animals Give From Five to Ten Times
Their Weight In MiIk-Nesd
Best OF Feed.

People seldom think of the dairy
cow as a hard working animal, yet
1t is a fact that she works harder than
other domestic animals. Every year
she gives from five to ten times her
weight in milk, containing as much
actual dry matter as do the bodies
Of two or three steers. It requires
approximately the same amount Of en-
ergy to produce 20 pounds of milk
as 1t does to p,sw an acre of land.
This gives us some conception Of
the enormous amount of work the
cow does and indicates why she should
be well fed and cared for.-Utah
