The Board of Pardons will meet on
Monday, Jan. 26. Here's luck to you.
Guard Krellwitz who was on the wall for
some time, resigned his position to take up
other work.
"All is fair in love and war" but there
are many things that cannot be classified

A new guard by the name of Humphrey
was appointed last week and is on the wall
for the present
Notice: There is law that reads. No
man is allowed to sail on the Mississippi
who has a wooden crutch.
''Sience is golden but there are times
when a ready word means opportunity;
there is a limit to all things.
Here's hoping we have warm, pleasant,
sunshiny day for our next holiday. Il he

If you are content to sit with folded

Get busy!
Our present editor is certainly handing
out real edifying logic in his editorials
The whole Mirror, in fact, has taken on an
air of prosperity and good fellowship.
House Steward WestIund is away on his
ten days vacation, and l.. E. Thompson is
acting steward during the formers absence
and certainly understands his business
1t is vain to build castles in the air. The
same time utilized in an eudeavor to under
stand the realities of the present will bring
rewards of an untold and unknown value.
A board of entomologists examined four
of the inmates as to their sanity last week.
Two of them were transferred to the St.
Peter asylum last Friday and the other two
will follow in short time.
Deputy Warden Whelan escorted DR..
Alexander Form, prison inspector of Cana

and also paid visit to the band room while
the boys were at rehearsal, and seemed to
be much pleased with the music.
MIR. John Runk, the photographer, of
ITO North Main Street, Saltwater, who
does all the work for the institution, sure
is hustler and does first class job. Last
Tuesday he photographed sixteen men in
twen,y-seven minutes, and you know that
is going some. His studio is called the
American Eagle.

FalIers Called Mental Detectives.

According to a Brooklyn physician
most accidents. as; we'll as divorces
and crimes. are in reality due to de.
fective mentality. When a, person
gets caught in a maze Of traffic and
does not know whether it is better
TO- go backward. or forward, he is,
according to this doctor, a target for
everything coming his way.
This indecision or lack Of judgment
leads to frequent accidents with the
same individual. Of liz persons who
were questioned in four semi-private
hospitals 46 had had previous acct.

Curious Little Piles Of stone Which

In travelling over the plains Of west

that at first glance seemed not al. all
remarkable. After a time l noticed
that II heap was generally about
three feet high and the other about :
foot lower. The two were always with

on an elevation or plateau that had

there was scarcely, another stone in

Years later l learned the actual sig.
n~ihcance of these rock heaps from an
old Indian whose mind was stored with
all the legends and customs and deeds
OF his people. According to him, when
the Great Spirit Tapped up the mighty
rivers of the plains he left springs and
water basins here and there for the
antelope and the. Indian ! These the
antelope easily found BY scent. but the
Indian had. to search long and anx'
iously for them. Once found. they wers

Houses were falling, telegraph and

ourselves as respectable as possible.

into the ruins Of a BARRIERS shop,
helped himself to a razor, and shaved
himself.
Further down the street we met
more German soldiers, who actually
gave US clgArs. They would not have
treated us like this had they known
we were English. My friends boots
had given out, and the Germans took
him into a bootmaker's shop-now

COLLEGE BOOSTER MEETING

The last convocation exercises at
the college before Christmas recess
was a get-to-gether booster" meeting
for students and faculty. The object
of the meeting was to charge every
one with enthusiasm for the college,
and especially to get the students to
boost in their home towns for the
Home and Farm Short Course, Janu-
airy / to II.
President Perisho gave a short ad-
dress on the three requ' sites of an edu-
cational institution: An efficient facul-
ty and enthusiastic cooperating stu
dent body; and equipment; and stated
that with the first two State is pre-
eminent. He featured the Farm and
Home course and the number of the
states best men and women who are
gong to be represented in the lectures
before the parents of the students
when they meet here during the first
ten days in January.
After raising the student booster
spirit to the highest pitch he called
on representative students from the
various departments as follows: c. l..
Graves, School of Agriculture; Sam
Mitchell, Preparatory Department;
Earl Searles, Pharmacy; Ira Lanphier,
Engineering; Arthur Lynch, Dairy /;
Ernest Potter, General Science. Re-
peatedly speakers were interrupted by
cheers lead by Iverson.
Among the alumni present the fol
lowing were called upon: Roy Nord,
'13, Ben Schaphorst, ~, both students
in the University Of Michigan, and
Everett Dunn, 10, city engineer Of
Eldora, Iowa.
The Home Economics department
staged a tableau contrasting the cost
of living in colonial days with that of
the present day. Students of the de-
partment were dressed to show the
things for which money is today being
expended which in colonial days didn't
exist. The girls who took part were:
Blanch Avery, Hazel Cooley, Florence
Nord, Ruth Hale, Della Dot, jeanette
Sloan, Bernice Green, Della Dawes.
