Two physicians are employed at a salary of ;(wé-u Year, 'l"rm. records are kept in an old bouk.a former record of loans. There are no religious ser vices. In ease of death no uvadertaker is employed and no services ars held unless provided by the supsrintendent. - The hospital is not suitable for that use.

Good help should be providad to assist the superintendent and his wife. County jail. Albion. Visited June 1908, There were two inmates, ove being inrane. Thebuilding iz a nice brick structure in good condition. It is perfectly safe with the exception of the cell doors. These will pot close without assistance from the prisoners. The ventilation comes from the windows. The light during ‘the day is from the windows and is good. [Electricity is used at night. The building is heated by a combi&nt&ion plant of hot air on the first floor and bhot water on the second. It is in good condition. Good city water is supplied. The building was fairly clean. Spring cleaning had not been done. The walls were pasted with paper and marked with pencil. The condition of the plumbing is not good. Allon the first floor bathtub, lavatory and closet, were in the worst possible condition. The sewerage is reported satisfactory. 'There is only one bathtub, located on the first floor, so the prisoners bathe irregularly. Hot water has to be carried to them. The bedding is

The hops is extressed by My Peotz the siate siativian, that when the peopls becowe lamiling with the state ernploynant ageney many lab. orers may be lead to loave the clties and go to the farimns. whers. ha belHeves good opportunities are offered. He e-‘.s)‘nfl that lariers are willinig to pay 215 a month to each of their farm “hands” and to furnish board and root. _ : Twenty-five doliars & month on the farm means “§25 & month, wet or dry’ no matter how miany days the bad weather keeps one away from the flelds, This, of itaelf. is an important consideration. The sxpense for modest board and lodging in the eity is #4 per week, or $l6 per month. The wages: of §25-a month on the. farm then would eqoal 341 a month in the city. This is as much as the average unskilled (aborer in the city receives, Wages for unskilled labor range from $1 25 a day to §1.75 a day. L.aborers on the streets in lodianapolis receive $31.60 a day, orfiala week, Counting twenty-6ix work days ina month (making no sllow: atce for rain and holidaysithé wages received by street laborers wonld be $4L.60 which isabout the sate as the wages received by the farm laborer. ; On the farm, though, there is no such thing as-expense for street car tickets, and -when Sunday coties around it 18 castomary for the farmer to permit his ‘hand” to ose a horse aud huggy' thiroughout the day. Fhe expense of strest ear tickets alone in the city,tf the laborer ia (‘u:x_!;;vuml to ride on a 8 car to his pilace of employment, will rus from 31 to 32 a month. Theaters, H-cent shows and nni_xmmnnm parks do npot cotie in for s share of attention from the wan on the farm Undoubtedly the farmn laborer, if he is willing to sachew all the amusements of the eity, will save more mWwoney than the city laborer. P It i» the man of family, though (i he can get transportation for persons and bageage to the new home; for whout the farm probably would bave the greatest attraction. In addition to the other expenses which he wouid avoid, the reut he would pay would e preatly decreased and the grocery bills: would dwindle. Therentola cottags on the farm, wheres such can be found, is usually not more thau 35 A month, and sometimes less, aod this includes a large garden or perhaps a tract of one acre This enables the married farm laborer to keep two or three hogs and to produce most of the provisions he uses. It b= is vot fortunate enough to own acow the milk costs iittle or nothfng when it comes from the farmer's dairy . aud a price of 35 cents a pound for butter s anheard of. These adVALLAZRS ATe Lot to be sneered at by the man of family, who, if he reremaing in the city. must pay the highest price for meat that has been asked sinece the civil war and correspondingly high prices for other provistons, ; h Of course, work on the farm is no dream. It means crawhog out of bed at 4 o’clock in the morning and working untii sundown in the flelds and then doing chores around the house aud barn until after dark. Buat it is all out under the glorious sky and away from the slums and smells of streets and sewers. On wet days too, the farmer usually has something to do. JThere #sB wood to split or corn to be lidsked in the barn. So after all, the success in getting laborers to leave for the farms will depend on the personal inclinations of the laborers and their families.— lodianapolis News. i

Let Other Places Follow Suit Hon. Warren G. Sayre, a man well fitied for any office within the gift of the people,so long as that office must zo to a Republican,is a candidate for councilman at Wabash. When a wan of Judge Sayre's calibre consents to become town coucilman in a eity no larger than Wabash, he exhibits a patriotism that is somewhat rare in the annals of politics.— Rochester Sentinel.

Why should Elither One Lie” It geeins to us that there is nothing unreasonable in the stories Cook and Peary tell. Why either should mis represent the situation such -as to make aclaim that he had reached the pole if he did not, is beyond com. prehension, Nothing would b gained by such & course, because the fraud would be sure to be exposed sooner or later. In the controversy thus far Cook has shown the better teinper. Peary talks like an irascible old woman.—Washingion Heraid. _ Wagner to the Musicians, His little admonition to the musiclans was most characteristic ang’ worthy to be noted by many an orchestra of this day, "Gentlemen,” he said, “1 beg of you not to take my fortis gimo too seriously!

This mass must be about the consistency of a not too thick -glazier's putty,so that it can be balled and rolled out in the band. Slate dust can easily be made by crushing small pieces of slate. The mass sticks to wood, tc metal, to stone, and, in fact, to everything that is not greasy and closes every. opening airtight.—Scientific American. Go to Stansbury’s for suitings.
