STATE FARM
OVERLOADED WITH INMA.j ^3
The Indiana State Farm at Putnam ville is suffering from overcrowded conditions the same as other state penal institutions it is said. The state farm today has approximately 1.225 prisoners with housing facilities to handle but 1,000. <| "The situation is not quite so bad as It was a little while back when the state farm had 1,340, the largest population we ever cared for. Officers manage to get along by doubling up. There Is nothing that can be done, of course, until the legislature makes money available for more housing or the crime wave slackens. It is said there is no .need for emergency relief such as that given I the state reformatory recently when 1 sixty prisoners were transferred to state prison at Michigan City. As the number of prisoners at the state farm increases or decreases th< space between cots becomes smaller or greater. When more sleeping space is needed the cots are crowded

QUICK PROCESS CEMENT TURNED DOWN BY BOARD
Expenditure of $151 for “Incor’’ cement to be used to pave the 400foot gap In the Stilesville Greencastle road east of Greencastle, was turned down by unanimous vote of the hoard of county commissioners at a meeting Saturday afternoon. Use of the "Incor” or quick hardening cement was proposed by the Greencastle Qhamber of Commerce in order to have the pavement finished and opened to traffic again in 4 8 hours. Use of the regular cement will necessitate closing tho road for 21 days. Contractor C. W. Bridges closed the road Monday morning and will start pouring the cement during the day. The 400-foot gap was unfinished last fall when freezing weather halted the east road improvement. The Chamber of Commerce through Secretary Charles McGaughey attempted to convince the commissioners that use of the quick curing cement would be a distinct benefit to motorists in general and well worth the additional expenditure of $451 above the cost of the regular cement.

! CHICKEN THIEVES GET THIEF-CATCHER AND
THEN GET CAUGHT PETERSBURG, Ind., April 8.— Chicken thieves who visited the hen roost of William Meadors not only stole his chickens but took a shotgun be had arranged to protect himself from chicken thieves. When the men opened the henhouse door the shotgun was discharged and the contents wore imbedded in the door just above their head. Angered, they took the shotgun along with the chickens. This morning Meadors offered a reward of $50 for the return of the gun and by noon Chief of Police Thomas Whitney had three men in jail and had recovered the gun and had confessions from them that they had robbed a number of hen roosts during the last week. The thieves were apprehended when they attempted to dispose of their loot at a poultry house here this morning.
Continuation E “Hope’ The subject of the Easter sermon in The Presbyterian Church feunday morning was “Hope.” Rev. V. L. Raphael used as his text 1 Cor. 15:19 —“If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.” In this season of the year wa see the evidence of the return of Spring in the blooming garb of na-ture-flowers, shrubs and trees. We consider their appearance a wonder of the universe. We revel in their beauty, form and color. But marvelous as all of this is, there is something vastly more wonderful. It Is not the result but the first great Cause. It is not the crocuses, tulips, hyacinths and lilies, but their Creator. Not the babe that is born into the world, but the source of the life tt possesses. Not the accumulated wealth, but the power back of the genius that gathered it. Not the harvest of next autumn, but the producer of the bountiful returns, ft is because of the greatness of God that man is enabled to live a life of confidence and trust. In considering the matter of realized objects one phase that stands out from all the rest is the “hope” that has endured until fruition has been accomplished. To me, hope is one of the greatest unheralded and uncrowned heroes of man’s life. Were that quality lacking, what would there be in this world or the next! Almost needless to say, It enters into every human experience. "Dozens of wives in this community have hoped for the day when their husbands would profess their faith in Christ and unite with His Church, that the whole family might be in the Kingdom. Some have seen the results of their prayers and some are still waiting and hoping. This message is centered around a twofold thought of the great Paul— hiqie in this present time and tn the future. Considering the former, let ns note some important objecis in its use among men. Take the subject of morl ality. Is it taught and encouraged as if it were only a present mstter which would terminate with this generation? Man knows that morality persists. How about truth ?Do we despair of the continuance of it and kindred virtues ? Are efforts wasted in propagating them? The agriculturist develops a better wheat and corn; tho scientists struggle in the laboratories to discover some new licYpful metal for men; are these and all other such contributors to the welfare of men only working for the moment or for eternity ? "Paul was fearful lest his fellow Christians should be under the doffision of interpreting Christ in terms of today only. Since man does not close himself up to hope for tho future in material objects, why should he not carry over this thought into the spiritual? Is it impossible or impracticable? It is neither. Further, no life is fully rounded that is not secure ly anchored by hope to eternity. Hope is the buoyancy of the inner life. Hugo writes: “1 feel in myself the future life. 1 am like a forest once cut down; the new shoots are stronger and livlier than ever.’ If we are without this hope, in the words of Paul, ‘we are of all men most pitiable.’ Let each of us he able to say ‘.My hope is in the Everlasting.'”
