CANNED PINEAPPLE-In preparing

be a great help II ! had regular factory
tools with which to do the work. Then

result. Some doubling ecQpomist may

digestible Of all the summer fruits. They

peaches are ripe and peeled they will not
injure any normal person.

when ones time ts up Is to be COM
mended. This idea OF sending a maya

one has overlooked the matter it will

For there is the life Of the PAPER, and It
does my heart good to read your edi-

the right place, and a voice that is not
afraid to express those convictions
wherever or whoever they may hit.
Success and long may you live. Yours

THE MEN AND RELIGION CONVENTION,

The nearest to q really continentwide
showing of the forces Of religion that
has even been made in North America
VII be the Christian Conservation con-
| gress of the men and religion forward
movement in New York City. April 49,
"a. At that time delegates will come
from every part of the continent-not
merely men who want to take an eX-
cursion, or who like to attend religious
meetings. but the representative chris
ton men. chosen by the local men and
religion committees Of one hundred.
Not only will these men be geograph-
ically representative, but they will in
clude all the denominations. Their
voice Will come as near to being the
voice of the protestant churches OF
America as any utterance ever heard
The Significance Of the occasion is
not its size. for meetings of 5000 men
which is the capacity of Carnegie hall
have been common all over the coun-
try, in connection with the men and
religion campaigns. Nor yet IS the
unique program Of distinguished speak
ers the most important item about the
congress. The significance upon which
attention is centered is the fact that
here is a truly national congress. met
to consider in statesmanlike fashion
the problems Of men and religion in
this new day and in this western world
The delegates are not depending upon
the voice of great leaders heard from
the platform to provide them with the
basis Of their discussion, but the con-
ventton is essentially political as re-
lgious: for the history Of the world
is the history Of politics and religion.
The real core Of the congress will be
the reports OF the nine commissions,
gagged in making a scientific survey,
each Of it's own field. These reports Will
be presented in printed form in ad-
vance to every delegate. The members
Of the congress will themselves dis
cuss the documents. The experience
and insight Of the mature judgment of
the country will be brought to bear
upon these comprehensive phases of
church life and social service. The big
thing in the movement and in the con-
vention is that the church and the re-
ligionist is turning from doctrine to the
daily needs and common rights of hu-
manity.

IN THE "PEN" AND OUT.

IT our grandfathers had read in their
Day the announcement that a baseball
league had been formed in the states
prison some Of those old gentlemen
would have been stricken down with
apoplexy or something just as bad But
the newspapers Of today reltae to their
readers that a meeting Of baseball
players and fans was recently called
at the prison by Deputy Warden A. E.
stevenson, and a league of four teams
organized 1t Is planned to play a reg
ular schedule. the winners to receive a
regulation pennant. The teams are
composed entirely Of inmates, The Of
f1clai games will commence next Sat
urday, weather permitting. BY ar
rangement Of working time about thir-
ty minutes are gained daily, which,
computed, allows the larger part Of
Saturday afternoon to be devoted to
beneficial! outdoor exercises. And what
would GRANDPA Their have remarked to
read that "One Of the teams Is COM
posed entirely OF "lifers," who have
lined UP nine which promises to be
in the race for the bunting at all
times"
No matter what grandfather would
have said We have learned that the
old man was not always right and that
some CT his methods, however sincere
and well intentioned, were little calcu
lated to accomplish his purposes. The
baseball league and time and place to
the penitentiary where nowadays we
are trying to make men better and
more fit for liberty than they are.
Good rough clean games are element
airy aids to good clean citizenship. If
a baseball diamond and time to play
the game under decent supervision are
reformatory influences upon men who
have gone wrong why are they not
equally good as preventive influences
upon boys who have not gone wrong?
Men are but children Of larger growth
and the criminals in the penitentiaries
are only bad boys, boys without
chance and lacking restraint and OPP
portunity, grown up. Why is it we think
of a diamond and a chance to play the
game in the penitentiary and forget all
about the boys who have no diamond
or place to play good. rough, honest,
decent games one day after another?
Give the convicts a chance to play
and be human beings. The man who
plays baseball in the pen will come out
of * better man. Let's get busy also
in our communities where a vacant lot
or two could be bought or rented and
make a place for the boys. 1t il easier
to do Il great deal for boy than to do
even a little for d criminal.
