OTTO WOOD AGAIN. Mr. Otto Wood U om citiaea who Just keep. r*ttinf his MUM In Um papers. Mori hu been written about him and uon attention paid to kit notorious deeds than should ban been. Now that ha ia bach hi prison it ia liven out by hie heapara that the public will hear no More about him. Um newspaper reportera who are (omw on the hunt for copy will fot nothing more aboat Mr. Wood. That is a wise ruling of our prison oAdala. But if they think they will be able to keep the newspaper report, era from getting oopjr about Otto they may find themselves disapoint ed. The public Is ahnoat aura to be getting glim pees of Otto all alone. What riled the public was the way Otto was confined in a cell and not permitted to take exorcise. He said his health was being injured. That got the public on edge. It sounded like the truth and looked barbarous. To a man on the outside it would ap pear that the prison oAcials should be able to keep Otto without shutting the light of the sun from him. He is no doubt crasy and deserves to be tunflned the remainder of his days, Hut he is in the hands of a civilised people who are not willing for him to be treated in a barbarous way. Why can he not be put out in the sunlight end made to take exercise and be so guarded that he would not eacapetl It looks like it might he done. But one thing is certain Wood: should be no longer allowed to playj ipaian author of books and aeiwi out stuff that appeals to the moron minds of the people. A LONG ROAD YET. It is a long road yet before the folks about hers who are learning the poultry buaineea. It is gratifying to see the intereat that is displayed and to see how stany are coming aroupd to the idea that there muat ha atten tion paid to live stock and poultry on the farm. The difference between failure and »access will he sttention or lack of attention to little things. We trav eled many milea over the country one day last week and aaw many new poultry plants and soase that have al ready bean sbandanwd. We did not sas a single plane where that* ap peared to be a pasture for ths chick ana. A chicken, lib* a hag or cow, can ahnoat live off of graaa if given a goad paature. It ia a fact that sue laasful penltif men are careful to provide paature for their Bocks. And one little let la nat enough: there ■mot he a system af rotation, for chichena.

Amer ican capital developed the oil inter osta, built citioa, harbor*, railroada and made investments up to millions of dollars. Now the preseat govern ment has made laws to confiscate all this property, and in rotnra they offer a twenty year lease on the property to the owners. Naturally this will not ho accepted. What tho outcome will bo no man can say. BUY A LOCK. It is a credit to the people of this section that ao few have found It nsrsseary to uae lock* about their premier*. Many citisen* leave all their outbuildings, smokehouses, to bacco barn* and stable* unlocked the year round. CoadMeaa have been auch that there was ao occasion for bothering with locks. But it begins to look as if all this has changed. We have recently heard a number of reports cf petty thievery about in this section, and one ia forced to the con clusion that the automobile, possibly, has made it poeaible for the petty I thief to do his work and get sway with the spells. Mb thief is hunting' for a prison cell and if he had to j enter a building that was securely locked, and effort and possibly noise required to enter, the probabilities are that hs would fass up that place aad hunt simm less careful citisen to' de spoil.
