Benton Town Farm
Seems to Be in Need
of improvements

The State Board of Charities and
Corrections in its report Of its last
inspection OF the Benton town farm
made Jan. 4 last. says:
Administration-Th superintend-
ent and matron. Mr.. and Mrs. Maui
rice Johnson, have been in charge
since October. 1920. They leased the
farm with the understanding that
they shall board the town paupers
at $500 per week. The last inspec-
ton by n member of the Board Of
Overseers OF the Poor is reported to
have been made In November. 1921.
Conditions observed-The number
of inmates on the date OF the inspec-
ton was one. The largest number
Mt any one time during the past year
has been two and the smallest one.
The normal capacity as at present
equipped Is two. The water supply
cones from well In the dooryard.
S.rface drain from sink nearby.
The personal appearance OF the
hatron was untidy. Two little chill
dren playing about showed lack of
care and were insufiiciently clothed
for cold weather. The house was in
general disorder and filthy. The
floors and woodwork were dirty.
The matron stated that the food is
kept In a cupboard. This cupboard
was not clean and very little food
was In evidence. A bedroom opens
from the sitting room which is occu-
pied by the superintendent fam
iiy. Very little bedding was seen
and the beds were dirty. The beds
we're unmade at time of inspection,
which was about o'clock in the
at ,rnoor.
The inmates room showed little
Improvement over the rest of the
house. in comparison with which it
was fairly clean. The bed was made
and was supplied with more bedding
which was in much better condition.
The room IL not heated, but there
II q stove In the adjoining room.
There was a marked odor about
the house which suggested lack of
proper sanitary measures.
Conditions appear to be due to
neglect on the part OF the Board OF
Ovcrseers Of the Poor. One member
when interviewed expressed regret
that such conditions exist and prom
ised to take the matter UP with the
chairman with q view to making
suitable arrangements for the care
Of she towns poor.

blond wife. 1T will be nice, though,
to have a car"
Her tall husband lighted his cigar
and regarded her nffectiorately
You're wonderful. Louise." he said.
Some wives just get their hearts
set on one kind and unless they get
it they practically expire
Il think that's silly" responded
the pretty blond wife. "Of course,
a man in Your position needs to get
something fairly nice"
Her tall husband smiled at her
You mustn't give me credit for 100
much weight on the position stuff.
Louise. Still, we can aft ord to get
something a little better tGan the
cheapest car made. I saw in the
paper last night that financial OK
pert says the cars of the future will
be made of cotton and fabric and
will lie run on coal"
Mercy, we don't want that kind!
Think how dirty that would be-coal
dust over everything."
Nobody has put one on the mar
ket yet, so we shan't pe tempted to
buy one of that kind-this time"
Il saw very pretty f1owerholder
downtown today"
What sore of flowerholder?
why, for the car"
But we haven't a car yet"
Il know it. but we're going to
have, and SO l looked around a lit
tie"
"But-but where are YOU going to
I hang your flowerholder?" asked the
tall husband practically.
Howard" expostulated his wife.
Are YOU feeling quite we'll? You
act SO funny. I'm going to hang it
up at the side of the car. of cou1se.
You've seen fowerholders:"
But every time. we put the side

Side curtains. What side cur

Howard, YOU weren't thinking of
DuNlnS an open car
"Why-a-why. yes, surely. What
kind would we get?"
I'VE couldn't possibly use car
with open sides. Why, my hair
would blow"
What If it did,"
"As if I could let my hair blow!"
well, a closed car would be fool
thing to buy. We'd not get any air
at all. That's the beauty of a car
to feel the wind and the spray from
the lake. the feel of the sun, and
everything"
You certainly wouldn't want me
/ to wear a tight little hat or have
my hair flying out wildly behind
The tall husband made no reply.
"And in the rain a closed ca, is
the only thing. too" she continued.
Wed have side curtains" he said
weakly.
But why bother with side cur
tains when we can just as we'll have
it all inclosed nicely in glass with
pretty flowers in the vase and comfy
cushions to sit on?"
"We'ell, we can look az closed
cars"
20. I've already looked. There's
darling car-the salesman is going
to get down early tomorrow so you

SUES FOR $500 DAMAGES
Court Action Is Result of Auto Acct,
dent Last December.

OrviIe Diffenderfer, SIS jefferson
street, was made defendant in an $500
damage suit filed Wednesday after
noon in the district court by Miss Alta
Atkins, 209 East Seventh street, who
was seriously injured when the Essex
car Diffenderfer was driving turned
over just of west of Silver Lake the
night of December 8.
John Chandler, 10, of 321 Klein
street, died as the result of injuries he
sustained in the wreck. The seven
other persons who occupied the car
were injured. Miss Atkins sustained
a broken shoulder, a broken collar
bone, a compound fracture of her
right forearm and a severe injury to
her back. She was removed Wednes-
day from st. Francis hospital to her
home.
A coroner's jury which investigated
the accident sidestepped the RESPONSE
bility of placing any blame. Their
verdict was to the effect that Diffen-
derfer was driving at a speed of from
twenty-five to forty miles an hour
when he entered the turn west of Sill
yer Lake
