LIFE TO Be
EASY
Brothers Can Pick Line OF
Work. Eat Plenty, and
Roll Their Own.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12~In view
Of the social importance of the
four La Montague brothers. SEN
fenced to the Essex county peni-
tertiary, inquiry was made at the
institution as to what their life
there would be like.
Rene M. La Montague, interna-
tional polo player, and his brothers.
William and Morgan La Montague.
must spend four months in the
penitentiary, in addition to paying
$4,000 fines each, while Montague,
the eldest brother, will serve two
months and pay $4,000 fine.
Floyd HANNA, secretary of War
den Hosp, said the four clubmen
will have some choice in their work
at the penitentiary.
Can Pick Own Work.
There are no manufacturing
shops at the Jail. The 230 men
there have the option Of doing one
of several sorts of work.
The Montagnes may elect farm
work, labor in the quarries. kit
chen police, or painting around tbs
Jail and minor carpentry. Pris-
oners have been filling the ice
houses of the institution, but th:G
work will be ended by next Thurs
dav. when the four brothers arrive,
and there will be a lu1l until the
beginning of the spring ploughing
and cultivation of the fifteen acres
of land
Until this blowing begins, with
the opening Of spring, there will be
little for the brothers to do but read
in their cells and exercise in the
corridor.
Upon their arrival the brothers
will get suits of prison clothes con-
sisting of khaki coat and trousers
and blue flannel shirt, and win be
assigned to cells. Thenceforth they
will lose their identities and De
known by their cell numbers.
On entering they will take a bath,
but their hair viii not be shaved.
Good Food Promised.
Severely plain but nourishing food
is given to the inmates. "A sample
menu as given by HANNA is:
Breakfast: Cereal with milk anO
sugar, bread and butter. coffee.
Dinner: Stew, or pork ana Deans
or boiled lamb. bread and butter and
coffee.
Supper: Tea, bread and butter,
apricots or prunes.
The prisoners are allowed to
smoke may buy tobacco and roll
their own"
HANNA said there is no severe
discipline at the penitentiary.
He pointed out that Montague
La Montague, whose sentence is
for only two months, will be dis.
charged before much Of the hard
work of planting begins. The other
brothers, IL they choose faDm labor,
will go through most Of the early
farm work, but this is not es.
pecially hard, said HANNA.

Periscopes for Cars.

Gently have been successful, and there
is little doubt about the device COM
ing into general use. 1t is mirror
fixed at each end of car, and, viewed
from the stairway, it enables the con-
ductor to see what is happening on

From the footbOard the conductor can
always note if there is any movement
on the high level gangway as halting
points are approached, and thus time
is saved and scrambling avoided.

GUARANTEE PRICE URGED

deplorab,e conditions upon the
farm in America; that every
where they had practiced thrift
and industry.
1t was stated to the commit
tee that the farmers held the
government responsible in a
large measure for the hardships
and privations they had suffer-
ed in the last three years.
Complaint was made that the
Government had encouraged the
farmers Of the country to grow
more farm products and more
wheat, and they were told that
wheat would win the war. 1t
was not only necessary to feed
our own armies but our allies
were depending upon the farm
ers of this country for bread.
So rigid were the rules and
regulations in regard to the use
of flour that the farmer accept
ed, as did the rest of the coun-
try, a lower grade Of flour for a
time than it had been the custom
to use in this country.
The farmer has always been
patriotic and loyal to his country
In response to the call for more
wheat and more farm products
the farmers of this country
made an increase of 100000 0C
acres in 1917, 1918, and 1919
This, together with the surplus
of farm products that existed II
this country, left an overproduc-
ton from which the farmer has
suffered to a great extent.
AS compared with farm values
in 1919, there has been a shrink
age in the market price of al
farm products in the last three
years of something more thar
sixteen billion dollars, vastly
more than the actual cost Of oul
railroads and equipment put to
gether.
The attention of the commit
tee was called to the fact thai
Congress increased the wages o.
something over 1,700, 900 rail
road employees 106 per cent, ane
by doing so stabilized the price
of labor not only of the railroads
but in every other industry ant
upon the farm as well.
The committees attention wa.
called to the fact that Congress
through legislation, was respon
sible for horizontal increases OF
all farm products of 65 per cent
and with the reduction that wa'
made in 1922 the average in
crease to-day is 40 per cent owe
pre-war freight rates.
1t was shown that the farm
er's dollar to-day has only a pur
chasing power Of 65 cents on tn
average, but in some of tn
grain-growing states of tn
West the farmers dollar has les
than so per cent of a pre-wa
purchasing power.
A table was submitted show
ing that a very large per cent o
the price of the farm product
from Idaho to Chicago, Kansa
City, and Boston is required t
pay the freight. 1t was show
that it takes 81 per cent of tn
price of potatoes to pay tn
freight to Chicago, SO per cen
