TOO LATE

The day will come when you will
look back from the edge of the grave
to the beginning, years ago, and
wish that you could have those years
again.
The day will come when you will
long for the hours that are wasting
today-the hours you are passing
and wish that you had the chance
to do what you should have done
years ago and sigh for the wasted op-
portunities.
You will then realize what substan-
tial bank account you might now have
if you had even put few dollars
into the bank each week. But it
will then be too late. Let this be
your lesson. You will find it more
profitable than vain regretting. All
you need is a dollar to start your
bank account.
Don't wait another day. One dollar
will start you.

STRAIGHT
TALK

The person who commences the
week with the knowledge that
the past weeks salary is gone,
and with a mortgage on the
coming one, has little incentive
to work, and, as a rule, does
not give value received to his
employer.
On the other hand, the man who
has snug savings account with
this bank, and is adding to it
constantly, it is safe to say,
finds enjoyment in his work and
is a valued emplOye.
Open a savings account with this
bank. The four per cent COM
pound interest which we pay
will assist the growth of the
fund. Start today.

Il ~.
the Dist Minnesota State Conference Of
Charities and Correction to be held in Min
neapolis Oct. 1928, and officers of the con-
ference expect that much valuable informa-
tion regarding the actual working of the
measure will be developed from the county
authorities from all parts of the state who
are engaged in administering the special
county aid designed to help dependent
fatherless children.
'Judge 8. F. Waite of the Hennepin
County Juvenile Court, president of the
conference, will open this discussion with
an address on the operation of the law in
Hennepin County. About 800 applications
orthis special aid have been received to date.
of which not more than one-third, if that,
have been granted. Probate Judges and
commissioners in attendance from various
counties will tell what has been accomplish
ed under the law in their jurisdictions.
The makers of the program for this
conference believe they have something of
value to offer social workers in every field.
Rural conditions that need betterment are
to receive special consideration. The treat
menr of the paroled from penal institutions
will be discussed by experts. A feature
that is creating unusual interest and prom
ises to draw large attendance is the meet
ing in the new prison at Saltwater on Mon
day, Oct. 81, an innovation seemingly
meeting with hearty welcome.

THE CHIEFS OFFICE.

There is no mistake that Chief Schatz is
going to have a private Office, with capt.
tai 'sP." The Chief started the work of
erection several days ago, but after every
thing was all set ready for the glass to be
placed in windows, he concluded that it was
not painted the right color, as he wanted a
mission finish thereon, and he is now look
ing around for man to remove the varnish
and paint without maring the wood.
The door is to be fixed up with a push
button continuance, so that when anyone
wants to see the Chief on business, they
will have to push the button before admit
lance can be gained. The Chief has the
continuance for the purpose of allowing him
to escape through an underground tunnel,
providing you want hurry up job, or are
coming to inquire the reason for the nom
completion of hurry-up job.
Ten cents admission fee is to he charged
to all corners, either business or pleasure
seekers, and the money so collected will be
turned into diamond ring fund, as the
Chief is liable to need one of these orna-
ments most any old time.

A FIsHlNG 60

Superintendent, Asst. Superintendent,
foremen and supernumeraries connected
with the twine shop have for some time
been aching for something to happen, and
under the guidance of s'Billy' plexander
the something dropped last Sunday
morning.
The boys arose at about the time honest
folks were going to bed, and hied them
selves to launch which had been perloined
for the occasion: Said launch was filled to
capacity with supplies, which by the way
are much needed on all expeditions.
After few magic words in the ear Tor
crank of the engine by Engineer Gurley,
the launch started on a perilous journey
to the sand bars in the neighborhood of
Hudson, Wis. After arrival at destination,
the old reliable, Bob Henderson, started in
TO clean the water Whereabouts of all fish,
large or small; suffice to say that the catch
was small.
While Bob, Ed, John and Fred were
angling for fish that would not bite, Gene
and Billy were scouting around looking for
cooking material, and incidentally getting
the "mulligan" in working order. AS
artists in the manufacture of this latter
named dish, they are both artists.
Bob says the only fish they caught was
the one that got away from Ben Olsen last
at least it must have been that
one, for it had hook in its face.
The party returned home long towards
bedtime, sore and tired, but happy, for
they had good time.

cHAUTAUQUA

The members of the Chautauqua Circle
held their third meeting for the current year
Sunday afternoon in the Chapel at the Old
Prison.
The meeting was called to order by the
President, and the Secretary called the roll.
The progam was comprised of three pa
pers that were thoroughly enjoyed by all
present. Mr.. B. (Blackstone) delivered the
first paper entitled ga Day In A Depart
ment Store From the preparation and
delivery of this paper it is evident that the
writer was familiar with his subject, and in
taking same up point by point from the du-
ties of the General Manager down to the
wagon boy, clearly gave us general view
into the management of a great department
store; and, in addition, brought out quite
wildly some of the humorous and pathetic
phases of life among the customers and en-
ployees, all of which caused this paper to
be diverting as well as interesting.
eff War Should Come was the subject
of paper prepared and delivered by Mr..

TO MEET IN ST. PAUL

The Anne rican Prison Association will
hold its 1914 convention in St. Paul
There will be in the neighborhood of from
500 to 500 delegates in attendance. St.
Paul was chosen as a tribute to Warden
Wolfer. Mr.. Wolfer has been connected
with this institution for some twenty
years past, and before that time he was
employed in similar institutions, and the
experience he has gained through actual
contact with prisons and prisoners has made
him an authority throughout the country
on prison reform.
When the new prison was first planned
the Warden forseen the near completion of
an oft repeated dream-the experimenting
of the building of modern prison.
When the delegates to the 1914 conven-
ton inspect the New Minnesota State
Prison they are going to be surprised.
They are going to see prison that is up
to the minute in every detail. We could
go on writing forever about the new prison,
but our word picture would not do it JUS
tice.
To be in prison is no joke, whether the
prison be modern or Anticipated, but man
who values his health will have to admit
that from sanitary point, no prison in the
world equals the one in Minnesota.
The members of the association will have
to admit that it will be next to an impossi-
bility for anyone to fall victim to tuber-
culosis here. Yes, Minnesota can well
come the delegates, and tell them to go as
far as they like in inspecting her new
prison.

F. This paper was brief but well prepared,
and the Critic made favorable report on
same.
Last. but not least, came paper on
ssBase Ball Players, Past And Present
prepared and delivered by Mr.. F. (Bobbles).
While It is not the custom Of the writer to
throw boquets, yet he wishes to state
that this paper somehow seemed to touch
just the right chord i6 the audience.
Whether the majority of the members were
fans or not apparently made little differ
ence for the reason that Boobies, by the
simple and direct style of his composition,
commanded his audience and carried it
along from the first toss of the ball to the
wind-up. This paper was in conclusion of
the most successful meeting of the current
season.
