FEDERAL FRI8ON8 CONOBfiTBD
Population o t Three iVnitriitiarira
Doubleat Capacity
The pof^Ation of the three Federal
prisons?leaven worth, Atlanta and
McNeil Inland?on June 1, Wtth more
than dourble the capacity for which
the institutions were built, it was
stated June 21 by the Department of'
Justice, in a survey of prison conditions
just completed by the prison
division. Following is the full text
of the announcement:
Report* received at the prison division
of the Department of Justice
regarding the present Federal prison
population, as disclosed by an investigation
made in the early part of
June, are that the population at the
McNeil Island penitentiary was 925;
at the ,Atlanta penitentiary, 8,47f,
and at the Leavenworth penitentiary,
8,728.
Although it is probable that, after
the adjournment of the courts for the
summer season, there will be a decrease
in the population for the first
part of the fiscal year beginning July
1, 1928, it is anticipated that, with
the reconvening of the courts for
their October terms, there will be a
steady increase 1n the population.
An estimate is made by the prison
authorities that, if the increase is as
great during the next fiscal year as
has been during the past year, the congestion
of the population of the several
penitentiaries will become a serious
one. " According to the figures quoted
as to the June population of the prisons,
the total number of persons incarcerated
in the three prisons i3
more than double the capacity orignally
intended for these prisons.
d&ettfajL, (4ue Cash Town
Shelbina, Shelby (County Missouri,
a thriving agricultural trade
enter of 2,000 population and more
than fifty (business houses,' is one of
the very few towns in the middle
West, if not the only one in the country,
that is practically a ensh town.
The first firm to introudce the cash
system in Shelbina was Lesley's
Clothing Store, fifteen years ago. It
was such a success that the other
clothing stores and dry goods stores
soon followed, and gradually the entire
town took up the custom until
now ev^ry place in the city has adopted
the cash plan.
Shelbina has two (banks, the OldBank
Trust Company, and the Comnaereial
Bank. The - bankers aay that,
when would-be customers desire to
purchase something for \vhich they
have not the ready money, they come
to the banks for ^hort-time loan?,
thirty, sixty, or ninety days, and that
these short-time loans are always
met, many times before the date of
maturity. .... Even
the demand for short-time
oans has decreased greatly because
the farmers depend upon their cream
and egg money largely when they are
in need of cash. Also, there are two
large poultry houses in .Shelbina that
buy poultry the year around. A farmer's
..wife as a rule has a lot ofChickens,
and any time the family
feels in need of a little money she
go& out and draws on the hen roost,
sells the chickens in Shelbina and
gets- the-cash for them.
There are also two shippers' associaffbhs,
one co-operative-.The Far-;
mer can ship one, two or three hogs,
carload at a time; one calf, or a
dozen; a couple of sheep?just whatever
he happens , to have. *
Significant and outstanding is the
fact that there have been only two.
failures in (Shelbina for fifteen years
or more. These were minor concerns
and were running on "shoestrings."
Great Falls has voted an Issue of
$100,000 bonds to buy two schoo*
houses from the Republic mills and
build a school auditorium. < This ia
the first indebtedness the district evei
had,

Here is a Fish Story
' Iowa City, la., June 21.?The cannibal
appetite of a 10 1-4-pound catfish
proved its undoing and provided
the best fish story of the year here
today.
Fruncea Sueppel, of Iowa City, was
fishing in the Iowa river when he
hooked a three-quarter pound catfish.
As he pulled in, the hungry tenpounder
attempted to swallow the
little one and Sueppal landed the two.
The fins of the smaller fish had hooked
into the gullet of the larger one,
making it fast to the line. The tenand-a-quarter
pound cat is the largest
landed here this year.
