SMALL’S OPENING BUSINESS AT q | Warden Stair Orders Tractor! Operated Day and Night To} Get Big Crop In TO OPEN THE BRICK-YARD| Farming thas become a 24-hour-a-| day business at the state.penftentiary; With a late scason, purci-ase of a tractor by Warden L. L. Stair was authorized. The tractor now is being operated day and night. About 700 acres will ‘be farmed, it is-planned by Warden Stair. This will include about 80 acres of potatoes, rye, oats, corn, and probably (0 to 230 acres of millet. No wheat will be raised. | It isn't any trouble to get labor on the prison farm, although there is aj shortage of farm Jabor reported ai other places, according to the warden. Practically every prisoner would rath- er work out in the open than behind prison walls, The penitentiary will soon be a bee. hive of industry. In addition to the farm and twine plant the brickyard} which has not been operated for two years will be reopencd about May 2, The Volstead law has helped give additional labor to the prison to make possible operation of the units. The warden is no exception to those who hope for a real crop this year. Although. crops have failed on the prison farms the last two years, the cost of maintaining the penitentiary to the taxpayer was considerably re- duced, according to records of. the state (board of administration. These figures show that under Mr. Stair's direction it cost taxpayers over $100 a month to keep a person in the pen itentiary for the year ending June 30, 1920. compared to $24.28 per month during the current year, or less than one-fourth of the cost under the pre- vious administration. The total sav. ing made during the current year over the previous year is, placed at $117,593.14, in spite of an increase in the number of persons in the peni tentiary.

Unanimous consent was given for {.mmediate consideration of the reso- ution and there was little other dis- 2ussion, Hope that the department of justice would .be “sufficiently aroused to en- join the proposed steel merger before t is consummated” was expressed by 3enator LaFollette in calling up his resclution for investigation by the de- de her famo'zs, a verse of Longfellow’s poem’ dedicated. to her, and Highty years ago a nurse was a drudge, a so-called “wafd maid,” waose standing was that, of a+ scrub- man, Florence Nightingale, coming from a distinguished English family, shocked her friends and relatives. when shc began nursing the sick. It was she who founded the profession as ‘we know it today.” Her writings on the subject are still used as textbooks, wich shows how clearly she identified the fundamentals in her field.
