FIGHTING PRISON CLOTHING
ated Dress Industries to Elimi-
nate Convict Competition.

American retail merchants have
pledged their support to nationwide
campaign for the elimination from pub
lie markets of pHson-made clothing,
David Mosessohn, chairman Of the AS
sociated Dress Industries of America,
who made the announcement, said that
opposition to this practice was unani-
nous among retailers.
A questionnaire, sent out by his or
ganiZation, elected food of COM
plants against what was termed "this
unfair and unjust competition" he
said. Leading merchants" he said,
ii"agreed that prisoners should be en-
lployed, but urged that their products
be taken off the market on the ground
that low prison labor prices imposed
handicap on free workers.
J "We plan to get retailers now ham
ding prison-made goods to discontinue
the practice by general agreement"
Mr.. Mosessohn said. Identification Of
prison goods was one of the chief prob
lens, he added, since retailers often
sold such articles without knowing
their origin.

SEES NO NEED FOR FENCES
At Least They Should Not Obstruct
View of Landscape, Says Al
fred Hopkins.

Once upon q time when our ances-
tors spoke of their "defenses" they
referred to the great walls and battle
ments which protected them against
warlike neighbors, but neighbors are
more friendly nowadays, and the de
fenses" have dwlndled down to mere
fences" Most people owning de-
tached homes like to have either
fence or a hedge along the boundary
line.
There is not so much to learn from
European countries with respect to
fence design, says Alfred Hopkins,
well-known architect, as there Is from
the American colonial period which
was rich in this particular. England
has given some excellent examples Of
the iron fence, but the iron fence has
had no great development here.
The tall solid masonry walls Of the
continental estate are not friendly In
America, nor are they desirable here,
Mr.. Hopkins points out, because we
have endless land and comparatively
scattered population. The impulse
for privacy on the part Of the well-to-
do is as insistent as ever, but as a
general principle, says Mr.. Hopkins,
a fence which is not absolutely neces-
sary should be done away with, or at
least it should not obstruct view Of
the landscape.

Merit In Clean Wake.

No day Is too good for serious con-
sideration Of the obligation resting on
conscientious citizens to keep their
sidewalks as clean as possible in the
months Of snow, ice and slush. Men
and women may be as badly hurt by
falling on their way to or from church
as they can be In their business er-
rands of the working week, and 1t Is
just as irritating to wallow through
drifts of melting ice and half-frozen
water on Sunday as any other day.
There is real merit in well-kept side
walks. They are a comfort to many
thousands Of pedestrians and a credit
to householders and all others who
have to do the work or get 1t done.
In the large sense, walks clear of
snow and ice contribute to the stand
ing Of the city which Is able to show
such proof Of good citizenship, and
the more difficult weather conditions
make this service to the public the
higher praise 1t deserves.

IMPORTANCE OF SMALL TOWN
Its Financial and Other Values to
the Nation Have in a Measure
Been Overlooked.

How conscious the small town is be-
coming of it's importance radio mes
sage sent out from the Kansas City
Star brOadcasting station by the d.
rector of economics and social science
in a state agricultural college sug-
gests:
Fifty per cent of the purchasers Of
manufactured articles and of the
contributors to our scheme of national
finance are found In the small com
tmunities. 1t is in the country bank,
the small-town bank, that the farm
ers financial business is transacted.
The money value of the new wealth
created by farm production goes first
to the country bank, then to the cen
trail bank Candidates for the offices
Of governor. congressman, senator do
not hold the majority Of their cam
paign meetings in the large cities, nor
in the country school houses, but in
the small towns. Here they assemble
the voters who hold the balance Of
power in the nation. The small COM
munity has furnished the city with its
leadership and Is still continuing to
do so.
He does not stop here. Small town
stuff" as he calls it, has dominated
the thinking of the world, and he cites
in support of his contention the fact
that the philosopher Kant was scarce
ly ever outside of the small town of
his birth, and that Millet was Of the
country and small town. Moreover,
Nazareth, out of which it was asked
whether any good thing could come,
was small town, and so was Beth
lehem.

Preserving the Highways.

It is unlawful to cut or injure trees
or shrubs within the limits Of public
highways in Michigan, without per-
NIT from the authorities having juris-
diction over such roads. If any per-
son violates this law by not obtaining
the consent Of the abutting property
owner in addition to permit from the
highway authorities, he is liable to
the abutting property owner for dam
ages. Only by enforcing this roadside
tree law can the highways be made
attractive.

Telephone Under English Channel.

The recently opened submarine tele-
phone cable between England and the
Netherlands has made 1t possible to
communicate directly between the
principal cities of these two countries.
At the present time there are two cir

had great difficulty In making him

what he was to do. At last he agreed

in the vault, comforting with BARLEY
and Black. 1t had been decided to
guard the place until morning, when
the whisky could be removed. The
chauffeur was to be taken to the Sar-
atoga jail and locked up.
When we reached the house, Mrs.
Currie came to meet us At the sight
Of her husbands black eye, which by
this time was very noticeable, and
the ruin Of Bartley's white suit, she
gave little cry.

doing?" she asked.
Currie gave me a wink. Looking
for whisky" he answered.
He went to a nearby table, took
something from each pocket and
placed them carefully upon 1t. He
then stood looking down at them
proudly.
"a little souvenir Of the nights
work." he remarked, pointing to two
bottles of whisky which he had taken,
without our knowing 1t, from the box
that BARLEY had opened in the vault.

important to All Women
Readers of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of Kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes yeu nervous, irri-
table and maybe dependent; it makes
any one 20.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr.
Kilner's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tiona.
Many send for = sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine, will do for them By

The chauffeur had closed the dool

some way 1t had become unfasteneC

wide open, the lighted interior plainly

standing grouped together near the
center of the room, our backs to the
door, when a voice said, up with
your hands, the whole four of you.
Be quick about Il, l have you all

that moves"
There was but one thing to do, and
we all did 1t. With our hands high
In the air, we turned to the doorway

tall, heavy-set man, with a round
face, holding a revolver In his right
hand.
Who could this second man be? For
second 1 thought 1t must be some
friend Of the chauffeur; but one look
at his astonished face told me he
knew no more who the man was than
we did. BARLEY looked puzzled, yet
a little smile never left his face.
The man stood still for a moment
before advancing into the vault. 1t
seemed to me that he was startled at
finding four Of US there. He came to
the center of the vault, and stopped,
keeping several feet away from US.
Starting with the man on the
right" he said, come over here, one

heard Currie mutter.
The first man on the right hap
pened to be BARLEY. He stepped for
ward, his hands high In the air. 1
wondered II he would submit quietly
to being searched. He allowed the
left hand Of the man to go over his
clothing until it reached the revolver
in his pocket; then like a flash he

jerk that the weapon fell to the floor
The fight was on. Both Currie and
myself started to assist him, but Bart
ley called to US to watch the chauf-
feur. 1 picked up the revolver and
covered the man.
1t was not a long fight, and Bart
ley soon had his antagonist sub
dued AS he dragged him to his feet,
and began to search him, he stopped
with an amused cry. On the mans
vest was a little badge.
"Why didn't you tell us you we're a
detectiveT' he asked.
The man, his face red with rage,
answered. "Why in HI should II"
BARLEY explained who he was, and
the detective was delighted at the en-
counter. After we had given him
back his gun and helped him brush
himself off. he seated himself on a
box, saying, II will say you work
quick, Mr.. Barley"
We grinned at this. We were much
relieved to find that he was q detec-
tive, and not one of the gang engaged
in running whisky. He told US that
he was in the revenue department and
had been watching Sykes house for
some time, or 1 should have said,
rather, his chauffeur's. He had given
him the slip and he had been search
ing for him already. He had encoun-
tered him about ten o'clock and had
been trailing him ever since. When
the chauffeur had come to the vault,
he had waited for him outside; then
the door had swung open and he had
seen a chance to capture what he
thought was the gang.
He pointed at the chauffeur and
said, That's the chap, 1 believe, that
killed Slyke."
Up to this time the chauffeur had
not said word. His face turned
white with rage, and he cried. you

that he had found that they stand es-

to promote a wider observance Of Ed
ucat1on Week, they being the Legion,
the L. s. Bureau of Education and the
National Education Association.
The speaker emphasized the i'm
portance of education, and paid a
glowing tribute to the American
Legion as an organization which had
taken upon itself the noteworthy
civic endeavor of guaranteeing a
proper education and adequate edu-
cational facilities to the youth of the
nation, as the greatest safeguard
against future devastating wars. The
speaker outlined the various efforts
being made today to insure lasting
world peace, and outlined briefly
many of the suggestions which would
undoubtedly be submitted in the Ed
ward Box Peace Contest.
The speaker predicted that through
the great force of education, the
time would come in the not very
distant future when the peace and
harmony of the nations of the world
would be preserved and guaranteed
by some form of World Court or
League of Nations. DR.. Thomas re-
counted the leadership of America
in laws and education, providing
free and inalienable rights for it's
citizens. He paid stirring tribute
to the young men who in 1917 gave
up the pursuits of peace, their bust
neSses or education. and went forth
to fight for the ideal "or which this
nation stood. He declared the or
ganization known as the American
Legion to be one of the most power
full and potent factors existing for
the promotion of an educational
program which would nearer ap-
proach the perfect.
The remarks of the State Super
intendent of Schools were listened
to with the closest of attention and
appreciation by the Legionaires as
sembled. and at the conclusion of his
talk rising vote of thanks was ex-
tended to DIR. Thomas. The pres
ence of DR.. Thomas at the meeting
last night was in special observance
