OPEN REVOLT IN KENTUCKY
Four men wounded and two men killed in a clash between sheriffs and union sympathizers furnishes another instance of general unrest growing out of unemployment and poor working conditions. Nothing will be accomplished by the blood-shed; nothing ever is.
It is a surface indication that men are really desperate, when they knowingly run such risks as that involved in firing upon a group of armed guards, even from an ambush. Their lawlessness is not to be excused in any way, but the real reason back of such action is not pure criminality on the part of the men. It is compounded of equal parts of dissatisfaction with intolerable working conditions and a perfectly normal desire to win a place in our economic system which will afford a decent living.
There can be no condemnation of their motives, but their methods, besides being ineffective, are lawless and uncivilized. On the other hand it would be well to remember that the men concerned are victims of circumstances, driven to desperation by poor living and working conditions and the ever present fear of unemployment.
HAIL DAMAGES WHEAT
Query in a reporting class: Would carrying a glass from the table to the mouth be called transporting liquor?
A loss of twenty-five million bushels of wheat may be sustained by farmers in southwestern Kansas resulting from a hall storm which swept over that section yesterday.
It is a simple statement, but it means tragedy to farmers who saw their winter's work and their year's investment in beating mown down in a little time. Hail is the bane of the wheat farmer's existence, and nothing can be done to prevent the hail or to repair the damage afterwards.
The loss of wheat might serve to raise the price for a time at least, but it is not sufficient to affect the prices in any marked degree, however, and what little it does will be only a slight gain to farmers all over the state at the price of almost complete loss to the ones in the affected area.
One of the guests at the Karsan dinner mat that of all the good stories told by Tom McNeal, the one he liked best was that about the hen who sat on a doorknob under the misguided idea that she could hatch out a house.
A BUSINESS UNAFFECTED BY DEPRESSION
From $5 investment to $50,000 business a year might well be an advertising slogan for the prisoners' commissary at Lansing, because a history of the store includes those facts.
More than 15 years ago, a man who had been serving time for stealing horses, left the penitentiary at the expiration of his term. He had earned or had sent to him $50, and he left it with the warden, J. K. Coding, with the provision that tobacco, candy and other articles be purchased with it, and a store for the inmates started. The profits, if there were any, were to be used for charity work among the dependent families of inmates.
The stock was purchased by the warden, and the store was started. The men were not allowed to have money in their possession, and so they were issued tickets and the amount of their purchases was deducted from the amount of money they had in the penitentiary bank. The system involved considerable book-bearing and there were occasional breaches of discipline in connection with it, but Warden Coding, who saw the possibilities for good in the project, maintained it.
The small beginning has grown steadily, and the store does about $80,000 worth of business a year, and clears about $1,000 each month. According to the provision made by the donor of the original capital, every cent of the profits is sent outside the prison to dependents of the men within. The authorities work with local charity associations, and on their recommendation send $10 a month to any family to which the local organization is willing to give the same amount. In this way about $1,000 in ten dollar checks goes out of the prison to worthy families of dependents.
The present administration feels that the store is well worth the time and effort which it requires. It is managed by an inmate, a rather cheerful young fellow whom everyone calls Clara, and the books are audited by the state auditor. The greatest difficulty in connection with the business comes with the store tickets. They are worth money, and every so often some of the men gamble with them. They are not allowed to have cards, but they find some way to bet or gamble, and the store tickets become legal tender.
Considering the fact that it occasionally interferes with discipline, and that the care of the books is often great, some men would see fit to discontinue the practice, but Warden Anrine feels that the good greatly overbalances any bad effects and intends to keep up the work.

NEW FOODS
There are always new foods on the market. Some of this year's additions are volcanic earth, skunk steaks, fried roasts, roasted caterpillars and grubs, fritters from locust blossoms, and crystanthemum salad. Not all of these are accepted foods in America, but somewhere in the world they are rare deciacies.
It is in Japan that the volcanic earth is eaten. It is a product of Mount Asama. It tastes like unseventeenth gelatine and is said to be nutritious and capable of sustaining life indefinitely. A skunk steak hardly sounds appetising, but in Argentine it is a rare treat. White ants are a favorite dish in Brazil, just as roasted caterpillars and grubs are tasty to the people of ava.
China has quite a variety in addition to the famous century-old eggs to its cryanthemum salad and fritters from locust blossoms are said to be delicious; and biscuits there are made from flour made from water lilys bulbs. We accept tomatoes, potatoes, and grapefruit now as good foods. They used to be considered poisonous. Tomatoes were grown in flower gardens for a long time after they were introduced into this country and were called "Love Apples," and now we eat them for vitamins. Perhaps we will be adding other of these items to our bill-of-are.
CONSCIENCE
People do not talk about conscience as much as they used to, but occasionally someone mentions one. And what is a conscience? Some people think it is an intangible something that should be talked about in church on Sunday and laid away in moth balls during the weekdays. Others say it is remorse over past deeds, and that it may be merely the fear of being caught doing what one should, although, a conscience is none of these things. It is just an uncomfortable knowledge of what other people think of us. An attack of conscience consists of a sense of worry because we think that someone is going to think what we don't want them to think.
The Puritans prided themselves on having a conscience, and the moderns

is fear of what people will say, and is therefore an admission of weakness which is undesirable. It is quite the thing to be utterly indifferent to what opinion others have of us, and so we do not bother with a conscience, or we call it by another name.
No matter how much we try to "kid" ourselves, we all have consciences. A few lucky mortals are not greatly concerned over what people think of them, but they do care a little, and most of us worry three-fourths of the time about what we do the other fourth because we are afraid someone whose opinion we respect thinks badly of us.
Plain Tales

Dear
Mr., Miss or Mrs. Try a fresh Cigarette!
THAT LITTLE STING way down in the throat when you inhale a cigarette is caused by parched dry tobacco. You never feel it when you smoke fresh, prime Camels. The Humidor Pack keeps Camels from drying out or going stale. That's why they are always so cool and mild, so throat-easy. Blended from choiceest Turkish and mellowest
Domestic tobaccoes and kept in tip-top prime condition by an air-tight wrapping of moisture-proof Cellophane, Camels are mighty hard to leave once you have tried them. If you don't believe it, switch to Camels for one whole day, then quit them, if you can.
