think that any county prisoner
can be legally sent out of the coun
ty in which he has Icon convicted
to work under contract in another
county. The state courts have
never passed upon this question,
but Judge Jacob Tricber of the
i United States district court recent
ly made a ruling to the effect ihnt
county convicts could not be v, ork
; cd outside the county in which
they were convicted. Attorney
General Rogers, in his opinion to
Judge Walker, stated that he
thought the state courts would \
make the same ruling.

KARH LIFE
The mote jfleasing and pleasant
the government can make farm
life, the better it is for the govern
ment. The cities are overcrowd
ed with worthless loafers who
might be honorable and respect
able farmers. The rural route is
one of the things that has been
provided to make farm life more
desirable and attractive, and as we '
all have to live off the farmers,
nothing should be left undone that
could be done to make the farm
inviting.

aged 10 and B> years, were shot

ing the corner of the other eye.
The other boy was struck about
the neck and face with a dozen or
more shot.
