Various Offenses.

Washington, Nov. 11.-President

United States prisoners with conlmu-
tations of sentences. Among these

cy we're Richard Mcintyre, convicted
Of counterfeiting; Charles D. Roper,

PLANS READY FOR
!. N. c. A. WORK

The fall work for the employed
members of, the boys department Of
the Y. M. G. A. will start on Friday,
Sept. 49, This department under the
direction of R. NJ. Cross, has many
plans outlined for the work of the
coming year and at banquet on FRI
day night everything pertaining to the
work Of this department will be put
into shape. The night school will
start on October II and in order to ac-
commodate the increased number of
applicants who have applied for adj
mission, many new features are being
introduced and the classroom space
enlarged.
The association is now on the look
out to secure vacant lots for the pur-
pose of carrying out their plan of gar
den project, which will be introduced
to the boys for the first time. This
project will be for the PURPOSE of Civ
ing the members of the boys depart
ment a course in agriculture. Diyid-
ed into groups, the members of each
group will have their own garden, will
plant and raise their own produce and
in the fall prizes will be given to
those who have grown the best things.
AS this plan has been tried for several
years on the mainland and has always
proved successful, 1t is the opinion of
those who have charge of 1t that 1t
can be handled in very satisfactory
manner by the association here
