PAROLED PRISONERS PAY
OFFICERS WATCHING THEM

Nashville, ~Tenn.-P-Paroled pris-
Dners in Tennessee put up money to
capture themselves if they break faith
with the state.
That, reasons Fred Acuff, parole
officer, accounts for the fact that
about 80 per cent of those paroled
make good.
Employment is obtained for all
prisoners before they are released on
parole at never less than $40 a month
and board. The freed man signs an
agreement to pay the state 81 a
month out of his wages. This money
is used to pay salaries of parole Off
GERS who check up on the states
charges.
Employers turn over to the state
one-third Of the paroled mans wages,
which is held and returned to the
prisoner when he is finally dis
charged.

500 Line TO STAGE
BULL TRAIN SPECIAL
Five Cars of Stock to Tour This
Division to Demonstrate
Purebred Values \

A special bull train is being
planned by the 500 Line, to be run
owe the Missouri river division, prob
ably showing first at Cakes on June
9 or 10, after running out from Min
neapolis that morning. From Cakes
the train will continue over the en-
tire division, with stops at all COM
munity towns. E. F. Johnson, gen.
eral agricultural agent, is sponsoring
the train. Howard McNutt, agricul-
tural agent on this division, will be
actively in charge.
The train is to consist Of five cars
and it will deal with the general
subject Of the care and management
of bulls.
500 Line specials always have some
striking feature of a robot character.
On this train the feature will be a
legal trial of a scrub bull, in which a
talking bull will defend himself
against conviction as a nuisance
subject to life penalty.
The train is to carry four genera
tons of COWS, showing improvement
in the use of purebred bulls.
Two carloads of the best purebred
bulls obtainable will be carried as
part of the exhibition and will be
offered for sale along the line. Local
cattle owners also may bring in pure
bred bulls and offer them for sale
during the tour of the train.
The tentative schedule is for a
demonstration at Cakes, June 9 or 10,
and at Bismarck about June IL or Is.
The Agricultural Credit corporation,
representatives of breeder associations
and the Agricultural college are all
cooperating with the 500 Line agri-
cultural department in putting on
this train.

JAPANESE ABANDON
HARAKARI METHODS
FOR MODERN JUMP
Honorable Suicide Code Of Old
samurai Discarded by Youth
TOR Skyscraper Leaps

Tokyo, May 12.-E0-The modern
japanese youth whose life has been
blighted jumps from the roof of a
business block instead of invoking the
honorable rite of harakiri, which fig
tires so prominently in the legends
and history of Japan.
Because of the earthquake danger
there are no real skyscrapers in Japan,
but Tokyo's new department stores,
six, seven or eight stories high, are
lofty enough for the youth who has
been Tilted, failed in his examinations,
or just become tired. Within recent
weeks a dozen young me and girls
have leaped from the roofs of the
Matsuya or M~atsuzakaya department
store.
Suicide Honorable
Suicide has an honorable place in
the japanese code, quite at variance
with occidental ideas. When defeat
or dtshonor loomed it was the only
way out for the samurei; loyal retain
ers killed themselves to follow their
lords in death; patriots died to en-
phasize a truth they believed vital to
the national welfare.
Lovers threatened with separation
sought to enter Elysium together by
the romantic double suicide known as
shinju c"the inner hearth, for which
for centuries they have favored such
beauty spots Is the Kegon waterfall
near Nikklo, the crater of the active
volcano Aso in Kyushu, the rocky sea-
shore neal Atami. These romantic
places still claim their toll of disap-
pointed lovers.
Deity Count Nogi
The outstanding example of hara-
kiri in modern Japan, and almost the
last, was the death in 1912 of General
Count Nogi. the captor of Port Ar
thur. He killed himself in the classical
manner the night they buried his
sovereign, the Emperor Meiji. His wife,
like a heroine of a feudal romance,
killed herself at the same time.
Ncgi died not merely to follow his
lord in death, but also, he said, to re-
call the nation from its modern slack
ness to the old discipline and loyalty.
Nogi has been deified and a shrine
built for his worship.
In the furore Of 1924 over the pas
