TWINe DEPARTMENT.
By HEMP.

After all we have had good many
things to be thankful for.
Superintendent Williams conducted a
party of school-day friends through the in
stitution one day last week.
1t is not too late to try to change your
course and retrace your steps. To retrace
all the steps and reach the original perfec-
ton will be impossible, though the effort to
do so will be commendable and not with
out BENEFICIAL results.
Believing in the old saying: 'Tomor-
row will never come Mr.. E. has been
figuring that he had $50 many days after
tomorrow but at last he finds he must
count tomorrow. Goodbye Jack, and
may God speed you on your way"
A change has been made with Irvine in
spectors. Instead of each system having a
permanent inspector they have all been
transferred to the Irvine Office, and each
day will be assigned to duty for that day.
1t is believed this arrangement will give a
more satisfactory and impartial test.
1t looks as though the winter weather
has been holding off to give Mr.. Hender-
son an opportunity to finish storing the
fibre that is coming in on large consign-
ment, although he is handling from forty
to fifty car loads week, it will take him
until near Christmas to finish his task
Several persons have asked us the dehni-
ton for the word "Eugenics. In gen.
eral way we knew the meaning but could
not explain it, at least we are unable to
give the correct definition. "Eugenics:-
The study of agencies under social control
that may improve or impair the racial
qualities of future generations either physi
cally or mentally
The ballots are all cast-it only remains
for the votes to be counted. Intelligently
speaking, we will put it this way: The
month of November has closed and to de-
termine the winner in the competition in
the twine department there only remains
the assembling of the figures. 1t will re-
quire several days to accomplish this and
until this work is completed no one can
hazard guess as to who will be the win
ner. Nevertheless some of the overconh-
dent ones are claiming everything. 1t was
certainly pleasing to note the good humor
and friendliness displayed by all concerned
at all times during the month, and whoev-
er does carry away the laurels will have
the hearty congratulations of his CO.
laborerS.

new PRISON FARM NOTES
By One of the Farmers.

The farmers all enjoyed the show
Thanksgiving morning.
Flowing on the Carlton farm kept the
three teams busy this week.
Great weather for this time of the year,
no snow, no frost, and no sun for the past
week.
Grabbing stumps has kept couple of
the farmers busy, with the Big Chief as
head grub.
Stovepipe, the long Sioux, has been pro-
noted. He is now the general chore boy
and bull cook for the bunch.
The two Norsk wood butchers are still
busy remodeling building on the O'Neil
farm, and when finished it ought to be
some hog house.
Grandpa's motive power on the Light
ming Express is just about all in. Going
on three legs most of the time and running
way behind schedule time.
) While Foreman Jones of the O. Neil farm
went to town Friday afternoon, the Big
Chief took his place behind the pillow and
showed the teamsters just how Big Injun
does things.
Supt. Mullen came near putting his
right hand out of commission the other
morning, he was helping repair the wind
mill pump on the O Neil farm, and had
the pump head lifted up some distance
when in some way it dropped on his hand,
injuring it so that he had to see doctor.

Crews of men have been busy the past
week eliminating the dirt hills in the vicin-
ity of the new greenhouse. The dirt is
being used to fill in at the warehouse build
ings outside the walls.
Some whistle. One of the men in Cell
hall c corridor thought he was working
on Mississippi steamer, and commenced
looking around for the landing when he
heard it Saturday night.
The runner in shop c issues challenge
to runners in general, to compare the va
rious fixtures that come under their juris-
diction, in competition with those in shop
c. Some polisher that man.
Miss Gertrude Loehl, librarian and
teacher at the State Training School, Red
Wing, accompanied by the Misses Whittier
were escorted through the institution Satur-
day afternoon by State Agent Whittier.
The kitchen crew and dining room boys
are deserving of great deal of commenda-
ton for the way they worked to make the
Thanksgiving dinner success. They
had to start early and work hard to get
everything in readiness, even giving up the
gabfest.

SHOP A.
By r. S.

Dots nice!
Visitors were very numerous hereabouts
last Friday and Saturday,
Nothing doing in our shop the past week
hardly worth mentioning.
|. Yep, all we uns survived the turkey eat
ing contest, even the editor.
Here is another tongue twister. The
Belle PLANE Herald states that "antitran-
substantiationalism' is the longest word
in the English language.
The four men who are occupied in test
ing twine for the four separate systems,
were last Friday transferred to our shop.
However their respective places of employ
ment will be as of yore.
Many thanks to the Associate Theater
Managers of St. Paul, also to Mr.. l.. ].
Oberwarth, manager of the Broadway
Girls, for giving us such highly and
pleasing entertainment last Thursday. 1t
will no doubt remain quite fresh in the
minds of us all till the dawning of another
Thanksgiving day. Come again please,
and am sure we will receive you with as
hearty welcome as we did on the last

Old Prison Notes
UNCLE JOHN SAYS:

Our next holiday will be Christmas.
Well, how did you like your first show
down at the new auditorium, Mr.. Scribe?
Guard Gallagher says we will not have
any snow until the middle of next month
If you are considerate of the feelings of
others you will find that the majority will
be considerate of you.
State Agent Whittier escorted party of
lady friends around our walled city last
Saturday afternoon.
1t now behooves the repentent sinner to
make ready his list of self denials that he
will forsake on New Years day.
The successful man did not get where
he is by folding his arms and saying:
"What's the use of trying?" did he?
Is there man who can truthfully say
that he is not the slave of a single habit?
Most meg are slaves to double habits.
Received one car load of coal which was
stored under the band room for winter use
in the kitchen and the guard houses on the
wall.
Many man loses out in the race for
fortune because he loses sight of the fact
that there are other people in this world be-
sides his own selfish self.
The boys certainly enjoyed and appre-
ciated the entertainment in the auditorium
Thanksgiving Day. Surely that was one
thing we could all be thankful for.
Bet plug of Hugo's Best that we hold

Guard Husting was very busy last week
hauling clay with the big motor truck for
the foundry. He said he brought in Is
loads, which will be enough for the whole
winter.
Oh you turkey! You made mistake
when you tried to do the turkey trot
around these diggin's. Now, just look
where you are! Hope you come again
Xmas, though.
You fellows down below think because
you are in new place you have the best

long shot! We had two shows to your one
on Thanksgiving Day. They lasted three
full hours.

Chew Your Food
Improperly Chewing
the Food Is Bad
For The Health

A large proportion of all cases
of dyspepsia and indigestion is
caused by improperly chewing the
food. Food must be thoroughly
chewed to give time for the re-
quired amount of saliva to be Sc
GREETED and mixed with it, and to
break 1t up sufficiently to properly
mix with the stomach juices.
To properly chew your food you
must have good firm teeth.
For helping to keep the teeth in
health-white and clean and firm
lY set-we recommend Rexall
Pearl Tooth Powder. It's design
ed to meet the requirements of
those who not only wish to clean
their teeth, but at the same time
to promote the life of their teeth
by helping to keep the mouth an
tiseptically pure. Rexall Pearl
Tooth Powder is a pleasure to use,
because it not only thoroughly
cleanses the crevices, but also helps
to preserve the teeth and at the
same time leaves a cool, comfort
able feeling in the mouth. You
can easily prove this to Your own
satisfaction, and at our risk, be.
cause if Rexall Pearl Tooth Pow
der does not please you, we want
you to come back and get your
money. No red tape-Just your
word and the quarter will be
cheerfuIly refunded. We can af-
ford to do this, because we know
that Rexall Pearl Tooth Powder is
good and that it pleases those who
use it. An extra large box for 25
cents. Sold in this community only
at our store. The Rexall Store.
