Ohio with Warden Thomas was equal to the occasion and outwitted the prison gang. Backed by the miliSa and Columbus police­ men, the Warden and his guards saved the honor of the state and only one or two prisoners escaped. As for damage by fire it probably was a good thing. The building was a fire trap and the state can take no credit for spending thousands of dollars for modern steel cells and having them erected in a hovel that was a disgrace to the commonwealth. The regretful thing is that while a committee was trying to investigate Warden Thomas to place blame on him the pris­ oners were running loose in the prison yard and refused to take orders. This brought ahout a revolt as could have been ex­ pected. Before the investigation was near completed those in charge soon found no fault could be placed on the Warden. He had done the best any man could have done with what the state had provided him, Handling 4,500 men in quarters erected years ago for 1,600 was a compliment to‘the Warden, and the public soon rallied to his support. Within the past few days the public has lost not only confidence in the investigating commit­ tee but indifference will be found if the report is anything but an endorsement of Warden Thomas, To the credit of Governor Cooper it must be said support was given the Warden .who was fighting to maintain order in the institution and risking his life to check the revolt rather than permit prisoners to dictate what they would and would not do. As for Attorney General Bettman and Prosecutor Ches­ ter of Franklin County the public has lost confidence. Both of these officials from the first demanded the resignation of War­ den Thomas at a time the honor of the state was at stake'. Both would have withdrawn Thomas to meet the demands of the re­ volting prisoners. Their act will long be remembered by the people of Ohio who insist and demand the state have order in ^prisons and observance of all rules and regulations, , . The state must stand criticism for the condition of buildings housing not only prisoners but wards in various state institu­ tions. Hot only prison buildings at Columbus are fire traps but the same can be said of the Dayton State Hospital where hun­ dreds of helpless patients are confined. Ohio some years ago planned a model prison at London where some buildings have been erected. I The state owns 2,500 acres of land that is under cultivation. The site is a healthful one and the farm land as good as can be found in the state. Every effort, has been made to keep the prison in Columbus and not permit the improvement at London to go forward as rapidly as possible. We have been informed the money spent for new cells at the pen was originally appropriated to be used at Lon­ don. Ohio will some day see the Columbus hovel covering twenty acres closed. It should be in justice to prisoners and the reputation of the state. The proper place for the new pri­ son is on land now owned by the state in Madison county. A prison there could be almost self supporting even though poli­ ticians Usually do not consider such a thing necessary on the part of the state. It has been mentioned by more than one citi­ zen already that the legislature would have performed a great­ er service by appropriating money for a new penitentiary at 'London and fire proof buildings at different state institutions than spending six million dollars raised by special tax levy for a new state office building in Columbus to house high salaried . officials and the score of commissions and boards.

Presently the two flocks, united, flew off together over the roof of the S. S. Thompson General Contractors’ building in a northeasterly direction. 'They always go over that building, after they fly around ten or fifteen minutes to make up their minds," said a bystander. Presently flocks of young humans, eleased from their educational cages, will be turned loose in the world. It will take them more than 15 minutes to decide on direction, and many will never reach the destination. Some lay when men shall have lived on earth as many million .years as birds have lived here they, too, will be born with a sense of direction and know which way to go.

Professor Shapeley, director of the Harvard observatory, hears from Can­ ada tha t another planet, sailing around our sun, hitherto unknown to us, has been discovered. How many are there in our celestial family ? How fa r out to space does the family reach ? Our ignorance proves the extreme youth of our “thinking race." Only t very young and ignorant baby is uii able to tell how many sisters and brothers it has.' Our newly discovered planet neigh­ bor, circling around the sun, fa r out beyond Neptune, is the most interest* ing thing in the nev/s. We are only a little more than 99,- 000,000 miles from the sun, Tfiis new planet, about the size of our earth, is 1,335,000,000 mil 3 from the.sun. Multiply that by six and you will know approximately the length of the far-off planet's journey around the sun. On that planet you must live 3,200 earth years in order to be one year old. To see the new neighbor, look now. I t will be visible with earth's tele­ scopes only about • hundred years longer, and then be hidden for 8,099 years, while it finishes one of Its own years. Japanese custom compels each per­ son to speak with great humbleness of his owri achievements. The clever Japanese Statesman, Wa- kasuki, who got everything for Japan that he wanted, gave ^nothing that he didn’t want to give, writes his govern­ ment lamenting his “inadequate abil­ ity," calling his work “regrettably in­ sufficient," and winding up, “I am ashamed."

My stomach and liver were out of order, and the poisons in my system brought on rheumatism and neuritis. I got worse every day, los­ ing .weight and strength. Dizzy spells and headachea were part pf my life. Pains racked my body and made, it al­ most impossible fo r mC to do my work. “But .after everything else I tried had. failed, I started the KPnjola treat ment. After taking several bottles, my system, was cleansed and invigor­ ated, the poisons were sWept away and all my ills disappeared. 1 am free of indigestion, dizzy spells and all pains. Life has once again become worth living and I know that it was Konjola aloqe that made it possible for me to enjoy glorious health again.” • Each of Konjola's ingredients, 22 of which are the juices of. natural plants combined with other recognized medi cinal elements has a special duty to perform on the. ailing organs. Many who have given i t a fair trial (six to eight bottles) have declared there is no other medicine like it. Konjola is sold in Cedarville, Ohio, a t Prowant & Brown drug store, and by,all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entrle section.

Ohio Tops List In T od Litter Race Succeeds Pennsylvania as State In Which Largest Number o f Ton-Litters Produced Hog-rafters in Ohio produced more ton-litter* in 1929 than did the pork producers of any of the other 24 states, sponsoring ton-litter contests. Results of the project In all states carrying it, have been tabulated a t Washington and compared. In 1927 and 1928 Pennsylvania was a t the top of the list. Last year’s performance in Ohio farrowing and feeding pens, however, put this state well in the lead with 98 ton-litters produced during the year, Sefcond state was Tennessee with 75 ton-litters; third was Indiana with 63. In 1929 Pennsylvania dropped to fifth place With 69 ton-litters, but placed With the heaviest litter produced in any contest—17 pigs which a t the age of six months weighed 8987 pounds. In all, 597 tort-lltters were produced In 26 states last year, an increase, of 106 over the 1928 record. The average number of pigs in these litters was 10 for the United States, and 19.2 for Ohio. The average Weight of all the ton litters for the country as a whole was 2826 pounds, and for the/ jDhi’o ton-litters 2224 pounds. The heaviest 1 litter produced in Ohio Weighed 3126 pounds. The average weight Of the Heaviest ton-litters in each state was 2964 pounds, Bays Bam: If there were no such thing as luck how could the losing condidato explain the result of the election?

LONDON COMMITTEE CALLS ON GOVERNOR COOPER A committee of prominent business men in London called on Governor Cooper Tuesday urging the immediate expansion of the new prison farm as laid out- some years ago. The com­ mittee also protested spfnding addi­ tional money on the old prison build­ ing in Columbus.- By this action Lon­ don citizens have only done what the entire state is demanding. Had the plans for the London farm been fol­ lowed there would have been no chance for the fire that coBt the lives of 320 prisoners, ROADS ARE BEIN&PUT ! IN GOOD CONDITION Stop! Look! Listen!

We do con­ siderable driving over -the -state and we doubt if the whole department has a foreman that can put down a patch that will be as level with the road surface or stay any longer, than" one under the direction of Mr, Ryan. We do find many roads in our travel where patches cut out but seldom can ond be found on the division in this section that has that trouble.
