up not only the production Of the raw

To Aid Prisoners

How do you manage to exist

the county Jail by News represent
tatiye yesterday. With shrug of his
shoulders and a wry smile the man
replied.
We'll | don't know. We have it
to do. Besides the officers are good
TO us and allow every liberty pos
sible. Even when packed in like
sardines we have the comfort of
knowing that it might be worse.
The man spoke the truth, as the
officers, especially Jailer Al Butler,
do all they can to alleviate the ill
conditions in the prison. In no way
do they accomplish more than in per-
mission of baseball game which is
played every afternoon in the half
hour between O'Clock and supper

1t is interesting indeed to watch
the men and the way they plunge
into the game, one touch of sport

Each day when liberated under
