Do Cigarettes Lead to Crime? king has some- into y the fact} als who boy crim | were arrested ked in jail witb- in the last six months, all but two | were victims of the cigarette habit | Those of the boys who were incuced to give up the habit were reformed land, when released on parole, lived jaright and did well. The few who could not be broken of the habit turned out badly when given a chance to do better. These facts are contained in a re port submitted to the Men's union by W. C. Johnson, the probation of- fiver at the county jail, who has charge of the boys in the jail and the boys released on parole. This report covers the six months ending March 31. Mr. Johnson says in his report that of the ninety boys incarcerated in the jail in the last six months not one was at work or at school when arrested, and all but two were cigar- ette fiends. In handling the boys let out on pa- roe by Judge Wofford, Mr. Johnson divides his work into findingemploy- ment for them or getting them to go toschool, in visiting them at their homes, in having them eall regularly at his office, in finding homes for the homeless ones, and in keeping eral close watch over each one them, In his report, Mr. Johnson thanks the Kansas City Bolt and Nut works, the Interstate Glass company and Loose Bros, Cracker company for the interest they took in the paroled giving them work. Mr, Johnson has found homes on farms for seventeen of the paroled boys, boys by and each one of them is doing well, and they were known as incorrigible boys, too. Of the thirty boys pa- roled in the last three months ouly two were re-arrested und these were again paroled, and are getting along splendidly. Mr. Johnson mentione the pool halls as being a great evil tothe boys, giving them a loafing place where they learn quickly to be- come gamblers and idlers, He pro- poses to proceed against the keepers of these places who permit minors to play or loaf around, He favors+the strict observance of the curfew law. The appoiutment of a probation officer in connection with the crimi- nalcourtis due to the Rev. Dr, Henry Hopkins. The parole system had been established by Judge Wofford, who saw the need of someone to look after the boys and often spoke of it, Dr. Hopk’ns urged this need before the Men’s union, an organization of his church, and its members contrib- uted enough to pay half the salary of a probation officer, the county court paying the other half.—Kansas City Star.

R. R. Earsom, Committeeman MEAT PANIC. The prices of meat are going higher and higher and it is feared that all fresh meats will soon be under lock and key and can not be bought at any price till this panic in over. But that has not changed the prices of my stock of second hand furnishings, as I find it is best to sell for small profits and quick sales if it does re- quire more delivery wagons to keep up with the trade So I will ask one and all to remember that I will keep on selling at the same low prices and also be liberal when purchasing your second hand goods of all kinds, Bring on any old thing of value and I will buy, sell or trade with you.
