-Br Special Correspondent, ijf OREENCASTLE. Ind.. April 13—For "the first time in the history of Indiana, jail prisoners are being cared for in the open air, at the penal farm, four miles south of this city. The short term prisoners came from Indianapolis and
OBloomington, sentenced by criminal court judges. Indiana has such an institution for short term men only after the spending of $60,000 appropriated by the 1913 legislature and hard work on the part of a commission named by Governor Ralston to select the farm and some more hard work on the part of Superintendent Charles 33. Talkington to get the farm in readiness for the receiving of prisoners. Thirty-six men from the prison at Michigan City and the Jeffersonville reformatory have worked for several months erecting buildings which will house the men who are now pouring onto the farm from many jaifs and work houses over the state.
Only yesterday the men completed thfi large dormitory which will accom- *%. jpiodate several* hundred men at night. ^^•w^his building is 36 feet wide and 210 feet long, and contains bath rooms and toilet rooms.

Today the range for the kitchen was'
rfe put in place. The kitchen and dining room are built together, making the buttding 51 feet wide and 19S feet long, te'it three row of tabl?s will be placed.

Talkington said yesterday that can 200 men now ana will be ready for many more within a few weeks. He said the farm is to serve as a reformatory in a broader way than any other state institution. Mr. Talkington says the facilities at the farm are limited, but each year the institution will grow. Recreation rooms will be provided and all recreation will be educational. The men have staked off a large orchard and were extremely proud of this work when it was finished.
Mr. Talkington and the trustees of the farm who are James L. Randel ot this city, William C. Ball, Terrc Haute, G. A. R. Shidler, of Marion, and George Seidel of Richmond are soliciting the co-operation of the Indiana courts. They will welcome visits to the farm and will appreciate any suggestions they might make that will assist them in meeting the needs of the courts of Indiana in solving the short term prisoner question.
There is much land on the farm of 1,555 acres to be reclaimed and it will all be done by convict labor. On the farm now there are' 25 acres sowed to wheat, 76 acres to oats, 78 acres to clover hay, 500 acres to good blue grass pasture, 150 will be sowed to corn, 70 io 80 acre? depleted land sown to soy beans and cow peas for soiling crops,

Greencastle Man Gets Allowance on Return From West. Ey Special Correspondent.
GREENCASTLE, Ind., April 13.— Fate smiled on Ed Hepler of this county on Saturday when he was given a check for $16.50 by County Clerk Harry Moore. Hepler has been west for a number of years and only recently returned. He was walking along the Vandalia railroad at Limedale and as he passed the tower early Saturday morning he was stopped by the tower man who told him there was some money awaiting him in the clerk's office. Doubting the towerman's word but still hoping that he had been told the truth, Repler made his way to the office and was given the money. He purchased a warm breakfast and left during the day for Indianapolis. Repler had the money coming to him for a number of years. It had been left with the county clerk by a relative as a result of a land sale and had been handed down from one clerk to another until Repler stumbled onto it Saturday through good fortune.
