Of Public Welfare had to say in
regard to the women's quarters.
If anyone will take the trouble to
examine my reports to the legisla-
ture, they Will find that have also
condemned them. / have paid
special attention to this depart
ment and have done everything
in my power to improve conditions.
As far as it could be done; I be-
lieve have brought about many
changes For the better. I am sure
conditions are much better than
when took charge of the peni-
|tentiary.
AS to the holocaust is true
but the danger now has been great
~ reduced by removal of all heat
ing stoves and the installation of
steam heat. During the last few
months. without any specific ap-
preparation by the legislature 1 have
managed to erect in the yard Of
the women's quarters, and for their
use only, new laundry, kitchen
and dining room also toilets and
shower baths. I am sure all of
these will prove to be beneficial.
The women now do all their own
cooking and meals are served in
their own dining room.
When / first assumed charged of
the penitentiary l realized that
there should be woman matron
whose duty would be to see after
the women prisoners. To that
end took it up with several wo-
men who came and looked over the
situation, but after they came and
saw the surroundings, and what
they would be UP against they ali
declined to accept the position.

Such Proof ms This Should Convince
ANY Maysyille Citizen,

The public endorsement of a local

ly convinced or he would not do SO.
Telling ones experience when 1t is for
the public good Is an act Of kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-

BROADCAST CULTIVATION
HAS MARKED ADVANTAGES.

Lexington, Ky. - Advantages Of
broadcast cultivation indicate that
many Kentucky farmers could use this
method more extensively than they
have in the past, according to e. j.
Kinney, a member of the College Of
Agriculture agronomy department.
Both the spike tooth harrow and the
weeder long have ben recognized by
goods farmers as excellent imple-
ments for giving corn and other cult
waited crops the first cultivation, he
said. There is no better war OF re-
ducing production costs than by the
use OF these two tools, is was pointed
out.
With wide harrow, 10 to 20 acres
can be cultivated in n day, or about
three times as much ms can be cult
waited with two horse cultivator. This
means that the average crop OF corn
can be cultivater in about two days.
Furthermore. the work can be done
several days before the shovel cult
vator can be used. In a rain season
this is an advantage in keeping down
weeds. When the seeded is free from
trash and clods the character OF work
done by the harrow is better than that
done by the cultivator because oil the
ground Is stirred This kills weeds
around the hills and In the rows as
well as in the middles.
UNLESS care Is taken TO bury all
trash when the land is plowed and the
surface leveled and pulvcrized well.
tho harrow cannot be used satisfactor-
ily. This also IL true fthe weeder.
but this took is so light that Is can be
kept free from trash more easily than
the harrow. II also can be used with
less damage to the small plants than
can the harrow.
VERY little corn will be destroyed If
the man doing the narrowing Is care
full TO keep the harrow from clogging
with trash and keep the horses or
mules off the the rows of corn.
broadcast cultivation is particular
" useful for cultivating potatoes and
II thoroughly done, will eliminate
much hand wedding. Soybcans also
can be narrowed without damage II
the harrow is run across the rows The
young beans are thatcher brittle early
N the morning and the harrow or
weeder should not be started until
about the middle OF the forenoon"

Mr.. Stephen ]. Corey,
st. Louis, Mo.
Dear Mr.. Corey: DR.. Shelton left
Batang for Gartok on the 18th inst,
planning to see the Governor of East
ern Tibet and then to return to Batang
and make final plans for the trip to
Lhasa At the end o fthe first stage
south of here letter came from the
Governor, asking that the doctor delay
his visit, as permission to make the
visit must be obtained from the Gallon
Lama at Chambdo. So on the morning
OF the 10th, DR.. Shelton started back
to Batang. At 2 p. m, whe monty
about miles from Batang, the party
war fired on by robbers. DR.. Shelton
was riding in front. and just as he
rounded a curve in the road the rob-
bers opened fire. The first shot hit the
doctor. The other members Of the
party. the cook, the deposed Batang
Prince, and the Doctors Tibetan
teacher, thought the doctor had shot
at a rabbit, but as they came around
the corner they sa wthe doctor in the
road. A number fother shots were
fired, but the rest Of the party were
unhurt The robbers in due time sent
down some of the man and drove off
most of the pack animals. $50 far,
have seen only one mule load not tax
en- by the robbers.)
The Batany Prince came on to Ba-
tang as soon az he could and report
ed the matter to Mr.. Mcleod. His re-
port was that Shelton had been
wounded and was unable to travel. He
said that we must take stretcher on
which to bring Shelton to Batang, and
he wanted a tourniquet "a device for
arresting bleeding) for Skeletons arm
which was bleeding badly. This re-
port came in about 4 p. M. and put
a few things into my pocket, borrowed
the Princes horse, an dstarted at 4:23
for the place.
Mcleod looked after getting the
stretcher bearers and followed me.
Morse and Duncan also going with the
stretcher. After hard riding for an
hour I reached the doctor who was
then unconscious, with no pulse and
showing signe or severe hemorrhage.
The bullet had enered the outer con-
dyle Of the right elbow, had torn on
the inner condyle, and had entered the

kets for a bed, and were preparing
