NEW CAMPS MEET
PRISONER PROBLEM
North Carolina Successfully
Works Out Issue by Promot-
ing Contentment.
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, N. c., July 14.-One year
ago, when the North Carolina Highway
Commission assumed charge Of all
county road systems in the State, 1t
also became custodian of all prisoners
who had been sentenced to the roads.
What to do with the prisoners pre-
sented a problem that was but short
lived. Few of the 100 counties had
prison camps that were acceptable to
the State Board of Health.
Sam D. Scott was placed In charge
of working out plans for housing the
prisoners, and at The end of one year
OF experimenting in a new field, the
State administration IS pleased with
the results
Modern Camps Found.
Scott found modern camps in seven
countieS-camps that met requirements
for sanitation and safety from fire
With these as a nucleus, work of pro-
viding proper housing for long-term
prisoners was started and plans for a
State road camp were drawn by a
member of the bridge commission.
An experimental camp was built in
Wake County (RaleighJ and the plan
was approved by the Health Depart
ment, Welfare Board and Gov. o. Max
Gardner
The model camp consists of 80 acres
surrounded by a 9foot fence. Build
ings include Jail, mess hall and
guard house. Each camp has capac-
ity of $50 prisoners. and when the sys-
tenn is completed there will be 65 scat
tered over the State.
The camps resemble hospitals. Trees
are planted and the grounds handicapped
for attractivenes5.
Camp cooks are the highest rated
prisoners. Cooks turn out at 3 am.
to prepare breakfast Of hot biscuit,
bacon, eggs or macsroni, stewed prunes
or apples and coffee. Breakfasting
begins at 5:45 O'Clock, and by $50 all
men are ready for their days work.
Contentment Promoted.
Scott has carefully worked out plans
Of camp supervision to promote con-
tsntment of prisoners along with good
health.
1--WE have tried" he said, "to make

these camps meet standards for health
and safety, both for prisoners and en-
ployes."
For camps Of $50 men or more, Il
employees are allowed; superintendent.
steward, one senior guard, 10 Junior
guards and one truck guard. The
State system Of camps will include 26
camps of a capacity Of $50 men, with
other smaller camps bringing the
total to IS.
The camp system has proved econo-
mical, too, Scott explained. The de-
partment Is allowed $l.25 per day for
each laborer and for the first six
months period of operation Of the
State camps, the cost Of feeding, cloth
ing and housing all prisoners and en-
ployes was $5,419, or 54.19 cents per
day for 3,870 men.
The aim," Scott said, 'is to get an
average of 10 hours work day from
each we'll man, and to keep every man
we'll so far as decent treatment. plenty
of good food and ample, airy living
quarters can provide

Baby as Mercy Act

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MASSILLON, Ohio, July IA
James Stenhouse, 46, mercy
slayer" of his child, will be re-
leased from the State Insane
Hospital yesterday as mentally
and physically normal.
Stenhouse was committed last
January when the grand jury re.
fused to indict him after he con-
fessed chloroforming his baby boy
nearly 3 years ago. At the time,
he said the child was suffering
from an incurable brain disease
and he knew he was doing right"
in ending its life.
DIR. A. G. Hyde, superintendent
of the hospital, said he believed
Stenhouse was driven to his act
by overwork and worry over the
child. Under Ohio law, STEM
house now may be tried for muir
der, whether any action would be
taken was doubtful.

Italy's Birth Rate Drops.

Mussolini's efforts to speed up the
population increase Of Italy have failed,
according to this years census figures.
The total population on April 80 was
AZ, ,OS5, 900, an increase of only 375, 5,419
over the 1881 figures. In the previous
II months the increase was 4l6,489.
This slowing of growth was in spite of
the premier's offer of prizes to fathers
of large families and the reductions of
emigrants from Italy as the result of
restrictions on immigration imposed by
the United States.

Meeting the Dress Emergency
BY MARY MARSHALL.

urge to have new dress to do honor
to the occasion.
If you find yourself in that position
and want something that will do for
the special occasion and do also for
your Spring wardrobe we suggest buy
ing or making a dress of figured chiffon
or crepe with a jacket of plain toned
silk crepe. The silk crepe jacket will
give your costume a newer look than
the more usual chiffon velvet Jackets
and will make it more useful when
Spring comes.
You can buy dresses at very reason
able prices at present, but If you must
be very thrifty you can make dress
for even less, Perhaps you have never
attempted anything so ambitious be-
fore, but remember that necessity has
been the mother of ever so many ac-
complished home dressmakers and that
the most essential qualifications for
successful home dressmaking are pa
tience and precision.
In choosing the material for your
costume be sure to select tones that are
becoming. If you look well in shades
of red-rose or tomato red, for in
stance-choose a print that contains
one of these colors and then get the
plain material for the jacket exactly to
match. Black, white and green make
decidedly smart combination, so II
you can get print in these colors COM
bine 1t with a jacket in plain green Of
the tone used in the print. And re-
member that printed dresses worn with
plain toned jackets are to be decidedly
smart for Spring, both for daytime and
evening wear.

It was a swell morning this morning,
seeming mors like summer than winter,
and I was standing on our frunt steps
with my books wishing there wasent
any such a thing as school in such
weather, and pop came out of the house
on his way to the Office, saying, What a
day, to think I'm going to be cooped up
in an Office on a day like this.
Well G., pop, how about me cooped
up in school? I said, and he said, Its
the same principal but there duzzent
seem to be any help for it. If this was

She is also called the "Mayfiower," and
it is said our Pilgrim Fathers named her
after the vessel that brought them over.
Greed is wiping this lovely flower
out. How your heart aches when 1t
sees the exquisite, pink, waxy flowers
tied up in tight bunch with solled
string and offered to the passerby at the
street corner.
The first flowers are deep pink and,
when in full bloom, measure u
inch across. AS the flower grows old
it fades to white In chummy little
clusters the flowers bloom on the end
of branches. The calyx has five over
tapping. sepals, the corolla is rather
saber-shaped and the slender hairy
tube spreads into five equal lobes. There
are ten stamens, one pistil with a
straight style and five lobed stigmas.
The stems creep over the ground, and
they are woody with leafy tWigs coV-
cred with rusty hairs. The leaves are
oval, rounded, and grow alternately on
the stem. They are smooth above ana
more or less hairy below. They are
evergreen, weather beaten and are on
short, rusty stalks or petioles.
In many localities the arbutus sets
her xoal Is cross-fertilization, and she
has made great strides toward the full
fllnnent Of this desire. She has already
accomplished three Of the most Inn
portant requisites--color, perfume and
nectar. She LIS at present most gener-
Gus with her nectar. Canny little lady,
she is educating the bees and insects to
come to her; in other words, she is
doing bit of clever advertising to her
public while she is perfecting herself In
producing pollen and perfect flowers.
At present, her anthers produce no
pollen, and while some of her flowers
are filled with grains the neighboring
stigmas are likely to be defective. Give
her time and she will accomplish what
she has set out to do. Whittier loved
this flower and wrote:
Sad Mayfower Watched by Winter
stars,
And nursed by Winter gales,
With petals Of the sleeted spars,
And leaves Of frozen sails;
But warmer suns ere long shall bring
To life the frozen sod,
And through dead leaves Of hope shall
spring,
Afresh the flowers Of God"

CEREAL RELIEVED
HIS CONSTIPATION
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Brought
New Health

Every one who has suffered from
constipation should read Mr.. P. M.
Fishsr's letter:
For many years I suffered from
constipation and used, for relief, all
kinds Of laxatives. After a few
days treatment, I would only find
my condition the same as before
and at times worse.
Some time ago I started to use
Kelloggs ALL-BRAN regularly, once
a day as directed. Since doing this,
I have found that I do not need
any other medicine to procure the
desired result, and it keeps me in
a very healthful condition. Mr..
P. M. Fisher, 352 Evergreen Place,
Ridgewood, N. ].
Constipation Is caused by lack of
two things in the diet: Bulk" to
exercise the intestines; Vitanin B
to tone the intestinal tract. ALL
BRAN supplies both-and also iron
for the blood.
The bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that in lettuce. Inside the body,
it forms a soft mass, which gently
clears out the wastes.
How much safer this is than risk
ing pills and drugs-so often harm
full. just eat two tablespoonfuls
daily-in serious cases, with every
meal If your intestinal trouble is
not relieved in this way, see your
doctor.
Equally tasty as a cereal, or used
in cooking. Get the red-and green

Additional foods then make up the

Cut down your formula to 26 ounces
OF buttermilk daily, four and half
tahlespoonfuls Of corn sirup, and boiled
water to make five six-ounce feelings.
Mix the water and corn sirup, add to
the milk, and divide into five bottles.
Feed the baby at 6, TO- and o'clock
and once at night, letting the night
feeding come whenever he wakens for
it. Water can be offered, but the wide
awake, hungry baby Is very apt TO spurn
1t tearfully.
Use naturally sweet oranges, and do
not sweeten the juice. If the juice is
too tart, add tiny pinch of baking
soda Just before giving it. Increase the
amount Of juice by teaspoonful amounts
until the baby is taking one to two
ounces caily with water.

fuls Of orange juice daily. Is this
enough orange Juice, and how should I
increase the amount?
"The baby still wakens for his mid

at 3 80 am. instead Of 2 am. Should
I continue to give him the night bottle,
or should substitute water? Should
I sweeten the orange tuice?" ..
Forty-two ounces Of milk daily for
baby weighing 13 pounds Is an exorbi-
tant amount. I'm all for feeding babies
well, but stufhng them is another mat
ter and not to be tolerated. The most
milk your baby needs daily, whether
sweet or sour, is rs ounces. No baby
needs more than two ounces of milk
for each pound Of his weight, and even
that amount becomes excessive after he
weighs Is pounds. When he weighs Is
pounds he will take one quart Of milk,
which is all that should be given daily,
irrespective of baby's age or weight.

RABBITS DOING SOME DAMAGE

A few complaints have come into the
office of the County Agent in regard
to destruction of crops this fall by rab-
bits coming in from sage brush areas
1t is hardly necessary to stand any
appreciate loss from rabbit infesta
ton. A few years ago the bureau of
biological survey did some very def
mite work on summer and fall poison
ng of rabbits. AS the result of this
two formulas are recommended and
have been continued n use to the pre-
sent time. One of these formulas is
simply the mixing of / ounce of pow
dered strychnine alkaloid to 16 ounces
of common table SALT This is then put
in holes bored in 2 x blocks. The other
formula is a little more complicated
but is not difficult to prepare: it in
Guides strychnine, saccharine, karo sy-
rup, and water. Into this is dipped
fresh alfalfa which is then wrung out
as dry as possible and this then dis
tributed around the edge of the field.
In using either bait care must be ia
ken of course, that sheep are not 60
ing to range over the area in the near
future.
Any one wishing further information
or detailed information on preparation
on bats, may write the county Agri-
cultural Agent.

WATCH FOR GOPHERs

Cherry growers in particular should
be on the lookout for pocket gopher
mounds in the cherry orchard. Pocket
gophers are particularly damaging to
cherry trees and especially the younger
trees. At this season of the year the
pocket gopher is cutting and storing
considerable food and if the poison
bats are put into the mounds now
one should be able to clean up the
situation almost 100 percent with once
or twice going over the orchard or
any other field.
Bats should consist of sweet pota-
toe and carrot over which has been
busted mixture of strychnine and
saccharin. This material can be Sc
cured through the county agents office
at cost, this being one of the places
where we handle material put out by
the Bureau of Biological Survey for
the convenience of farmers.
Take care of your pocket gopher
situation now and you will find that
you will be able to accomplish so much
more than at any other season of the
year with so much less effort that it
will be becoming a yearly practice
with you.

YEARS ACTIVITIES OF AGENT

The following is very brief sum-
mary of some of the activities OF the
County Agricultural Agent of Benton
County during the year Novemberlst,
1882. It may be of interest to some
to know that there has been an in
crease this year in the number of
news articles prepared, in the number
TO Office calls and telephone calls an
swered, and in the number of farm
visits.
During the year the County Agri-
cultural Agent of Benton County
spent 80 days in the office and 2O5
in the field. During the time spent in
the Office the agent wrote 1911 indi-
vidual letters, 178 news articles, dis
tributed 1871 bulletins and answered
1884 Office calls and 49S. telephone
calls. During the time spent in the
field, 872 farm visits were made to
$40 different farms. Four tours and
&c demonstration meetings have been
held with total of 722 in attendance;
80 other meetings have been held
with an attendance of 2,153, one club
Judging team and one demonstration
