The progress Of modern civiliza-
ton" ia but . pace-maker for crime.
Ideal individuals collectively make
an ideal community to live in idle.
To really know a man, seek out
and become acquainted with his
friends.
Weakness of purpose is the one
unsurmountable barrier that man
raiseth against himself.
By the grace of all unseen forces.
give me the courage to never forget
true friend, Nil Desperandum.
A cheerful nature is thing to be
more profoundly thankful for than
all that genius ever inspired or tai
ent accomplished. 80
He has achieved success who has
filled his niche and accomplished
his task, and upon departure leaves
the world better than he found it.
In King Midas time every
thing he touched turned to gold. In
our day and for many of us all the
touching" we have done turned to
time.
Common occasions can be made
great. All hail the man who jumps
in and converts them into a hord of
opportunities and then takes advan-
tage of them.
A more serious complex problem,
American parents could not face
than that of properly launching
son 80 as to insure him an even keel
as he noses his way thru the stormy
uneven sea of life.
Let us not forget that good
word and a friendly pat on the
back help make the burden of work
lighter and the contact between
men pleasanter. and that they cost
nothing but little thought.
II there is GOODNESS or an unkind
feeling between us my friend. let us
not forget that we are men; but
meet each other face to face and
have it out. Quick! before hatred
has been born within our bosom and
living, kill all remaining love of
friendship that abideth. Let us be
friends.
There are people. scores upon
scores of them who have heard, re-
hearsed, and memorized the Ten
Commandments so we'll that they
can say them backwards, but, waiv
ing the Ten, how many of them have
learned the Eleventh. It is sim
ply this: DO not take yourself too
blame seriously, you will never get
out of life alive anyway"
Well, we'll, too bad I'm sure; but
too many of us have too strong de-
sire for the limelight to make the
right kind of progress that is sub
stantial. A little more love of the
game, believing that by your efforts
you are promulg ating good is the
only safe antidote. Boosts, bah!
give me the love of the work and a
secret belief that / am helping, and
tell with your boosts; save 'em.

by, it is circular, extending the en-
tire width of the Auditorium, it's ex-
IRENE width is 80 feet further de-
tails were described short time ago.
The entrance to the dining hall
is en- the left hand side; three sets of
double doors and one single door in
center. 1t occupies separate wing
and is veritable sun parlor. windows
on east, west and south sides, with a
large sky-1ight-reminds one of a

There is small circular gallery 6
feet wide at north end of the hall for
visitors; entrance to the gallery is
made from the lobby.
Entrance to service rooms is made
at northeast corner of dining hall,
where all the cooking for inmates is
done. 1t is equipped at present
with 8 100 gallon tea and coffee
steam urns. six 80 or 80 gallon steam

also used as officers kitchen and is
equipped with range, one large
Fish" circular oven,(a second one
is in course of construction), one

ed to be modern in every detail.
An electric elevator serves the
service rooms, general store rooms,

The fibre is now ready for what is
known as the breaker" IN a Irvine
mill. A short description of the
breaker will give you an idea of
what every machine in the preparing
room is like. The breaker works
something on the plan of the old
styled thresher-hand feeder and
all-only. instead of having a cylin-
der, it has an endless chain-to be
more explicit, two chains-one for
ward of the other, or a slow-chain
and fast one. The fast one trav-
cling just fast enough to comb
and straighten the tangles in the
fibre. One of the chains. laid on the
floor, resembles one half of a harrow:
the teeth. or hackles, being smaller,
more numerous and closer together
than those of harrow. Each hackle
bar in the chain is about three
feet long and about four inches apart,
in the chain; each bar has twenty
two hackles, or teeth of steel, max
ing, in form, large comb. At the
feed board, where the fibre is start
ed through the machine, is the oil
distributor, or oil pump, regulated
by the feeder so that each strand of
fibe receives certain amount of oil.
We will start our bail of raw fire
going On its way to Irvine. Just
hand the feeder one of those small
punches taken from the bale and he
will start the fibre on it's first step
toward the finished ball. See, lie
places it on the feed board under
the oil-sprinkler and forces it under
the rollers, when it is picked up by
the slow-chain and pulled through
to the fast-chain. You possibly
think it funny that / said pulled, !"
but that is just rightly expressing
it; as each part of Irvine machine,
in whatever department you may
be, is working a little faster than
the part behind it; always pulling,
always combing.
After leaving the fast-chain it is
picked up by another pair Of rollers
and sent into bell shaped casting,
going in at the large end and COM
ing out at the small end, giving it
something of uniform shape
round and about large hand full
going from there through two more
rollers to the piler; man stands at
that end of the machine piling the
fibre in boxes. You would have to
see this process to understand it.
The fibre is now reduced from a
bale of short bundles to pile, all in
one piece, and is almost the same
size it's entire length. This cutting
and stretching process is carried on
through six machines before it is
ready for the spinning roo:c.

ONLY WAITING.

Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beams is flown,
TIL the night OF earth is faded
From the heart once full OF day;
Till the dawn OF heaven is breaking
Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home.
For the summer time Is faded.
And the autumn winds have come,
Quickly, reapers, gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart.
For the bloom of life is withered,
And ] hasten to depart.
Only waiting til the angels
Open wide the mystic gate.
At who's feet long have fingered,
Weary poor and desolate.
Even now hear the footsteps,
And their voices far away:
II they call me, am waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown
Then from ont the gathered darkness
Holy, deathless stars shall rise
BY who's light my soul shall gladly
Tread It's pathway to the skies.
