Ed Wells, Pike County coal miner,
was acquitted in Petersburg city
court on a charge of intoxication
when he proved to the court he had
consumed only two cups of coffee and
a large quantity of quinine.
After taking the medicine Wells is
said to have become loisy and walked
ursteadily,6 which resulted in his ar
rest. The mayor released him say
ing that he guessed q%uinine did have
a peculiar effect on some and getting
drunk on it probably was legal.

n ORE than 1850 inmates are in State prison at Michigan
wi City-a record number. This in spite of the fact that many
judges, like James A. Collins of the Marion County court, are
firm believers in the suspended sentence for the first offender.
Reading an address by Judge Collins on "Social Service in
the Administration of Justice we find this: '"The power to
suspend sentence where the circumstances seemed to justify it
has saved many novices in crime from undergoing the harsh pun-
shment that would otherwise have been meted out to them
There is this to be said for Judge Collins preachment, even
if it does not find general favor-a convicted man is given a
chance to make himself over outside of prison.
We have received from Moundsvlle (W. Va) prison a copy
of Work and Hope, " a magazine written, illustrated and printed
by prisoners. In it are two pictures of a former prisoner. One
shows him at the time he left prison, after five terms, a furtive
man with a hunted look. 1t is labeled "The Old" The other
presents him as he is today, a number of years after his departure
from prison, a man of open countenance, even handsome. 1t is
labeled "The New"
He was given a chance, reclaimed himself and now occupies
bit of kindness did.
Twenty years he had spent in various prisons at a great cost
to the State, doubtless. A fair chance that cost nothing has con-
verted him into a productive citizen.

ployment, especially among tho
white collar clerical workers, is
beginning to increase and some in

NEW YORK, March 20.-Grain is
coming with extreme slowness from
the farms Of the country. This ten
dency to hold on to their crops has
been noted among farmers of the Pa
Gifics northwest. The intermountain
country and some OF the midwest
states, and has not been affected by
action or discussion of remedial meas
ures in Washington. Just what
stocks of merchantable wheat and
! corn actually exist on the farms at
present is somewhat uncertain, but
The total farm value of the principal
grain on the first OF this month is
placed at $1,S53,000 900, or s6s7, ,000. 900
higher than on the same date last
Year.

might force a sharp advance for the
time. 1t is doubtful if the farmer
would benefit, in view of the effect
1t would have on live stock and hogs,
on which most corn growers depend
Tor a goodly portion of their profits.
High prices, artificially brough
about, midwest financiers point out,
would mean decreased consumption
They say this is clearly demonstrated
Ivy the slack demand. for cash corn
and the rapid accumulation of stocks
The holding up of the supply at its
source. they conclude. can only mean
