An unusually large number of paroles will be- granted from the state penitentiary next month, if the state board of corrections approves the recommendations of Warden J. K. Codding. The war crisis, with its demand for labor, Codding, says, means that every able-bodied man." in thie penitentiary who indicates that he will make a good citi zen if released and given a chance to work, should have a chance. "In this time every able-bodied man that will work is needed in the fields and workshops of the state," explained Codding.

"In other times some of our boys have failed to make good because they couldn't get steady work when we released themi But now they are needed. "For this reason I am going to recommend an unusually large number of paroles next month. Incidentally there have been fewer paroles granted in the last two years, I believe, than in the period just preceding, and as a result the penitentiary population is larger than it has been for several years." Warden Codding's idea is to parole the men with good records in the prison, and set them to work in the State, where they can be looked after by the parole officer of the institution. Some of the lesser criminals might even be released to go into the ranks later ff they make good in the fields. AN AEROPLANE 2 1 11 1 I' law was enforced and one of the violators was brought before Judge Corkwell.

The raid was executed Monday the Judge's reply. The instructions were; "Quit the business or go to jail." So the guy, had to close up shop while night about eleven o'clock by under sheriff Gossett. The complaint against the defendant was the operation of a gambling device commonly known as a "wheel of fortune." J. S. Marshal, is the name, of the "geek" that fell in the clutches of the under sheriff.

He plead guilty of the charge and was fined $31 and costs. Furthermore he swore that he had been with the company, a number of years and had never been pinched before. "That's alright old top, but you can't get by with any of that kind of "con" around this court," was the company remains in KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. 2 KA K4 -1 IA l4 Sal kl RAISE A PART OF THE LIVING It is not yet too late to plant a garden and it is never too late to do something to cut down living expenses. Too many Americans live out of the grocery stores in these times of high prices.

1 It is not the grocery stores that are at fault. The grocer, let it be known, is making a bare living. Some grocers are not doing that well. Americans have grown too fond of the fancy package, and too many of them will have nothing else. They must have crackers put in a carton with printing in three or four colors on the wrapper.

Anything short of that is not fit for their tables. It is impossible to reduce the price of food by boycotting the grocer. The price of one article may be reduced temporarily, but other things will go up in proportion. The federal department of labor gives some attention to the goods In fancy packages and says this is one of the causes of the high cost of living. The figures are given out by the government and therefore must be nearly accurate as nearly accurate as they can be made.

In 1913 the cost of living tor the average family was there is being prosecuting but with fight world. where by to have the church the out for we are to attend here at price. be imposed Chanute's and navy doubt of their their I MODERN WARFARE AS SEEN FROM kC $339.30 and at present the government experts estimate that it is up to $425.54 and going higher all the time. This is not altogether the fault of the' family, for food prices have been manipulated to some extent. A federal grand jury in New York has returned indictments against twenty-one corporations and eighteen individuals charged with fixing the prices of coal and may get around to an investigation of food prices later.

In the meantime it is hardly worth while to wait for federal grand juries to do anything. The main thing is to help ourselves, and a garden will do it. There are more gardens in Tulsa this year than ever before, but there are not enough. There is too much idle land in this vicinity.
