rather significant thing has just happened that should

easy conclusion that will be close to the simple truth 1t

We boast of soil and sunshine the best in the world and
the means of controlling moisture for the plants but
don't get the big yield and don't get the high quality
We have yet concentrated efforts upon the subject
of ferizng the soil give it the greatest possible vital
food and the application of the moisture in way that
the every day of the growing they may
reach their greatest capacity for development of the crop
The boys and girls down of the Mississippi doing
this and the yield and the quality mounting high What
they do acre, tenth of this yeaN
they can do on commercial scale next year and be pretty
certain of the results.

raised the record 232 bushels of 10 per

offer He sold it the mail order plan in small quantities
and received $228o for it, and all used for seed in

OUR BASE BALL GAME

Inmate L. S., No. 4O75, has written a
report of our first baseball game of the sea-
son, and has favored the Mirror with an
advance copy. Here is what he says:
The game opened with Molasses at the
stick, Smallpox catching and Cigar in the
box, with plenty of smoke. Horn played
first base and Fiddle. second Corn, in
the field, made it hot for the umpire, APP
pie, who was rotten. Axe came to the
bat and chopped out liner. Cigar let
Brick walk and Sawdust filled the bases;
Song made hit and twenty scored.
In the second inning, Cigar went out and
BALLOON started to pitch but went straight
up; then Cherry tried, but went wild. Old
Ice kept cool in the game until hit by a
pitched ball, then you should have heard
Ice (s)cream. Cabbage had good head
and Grass covered lots of ground. The
crowd went wild when Spider caught fly.
Bread loafed on third. Lightning began to
play in the fifth, and Wind began to blow
about what he could do. Hammer knocked
and Trees started to leave. Peanuts was
roasted for hitting the Colonel and Knife
was put out for cutting first base. Light
ming finished pitching and struck out six
men. In the ninth Fiddle took first base,
Trombone slid to third and Meat was put
out on the plate. The game ended with the
score twenty to nothing, and Door said if
he had pitched for the losers he would have
shut them out. There was lots of betting
on the game and Soap cleaned up lots of
the "flthy.''

NO MORE FEDERAL PRISONERS

From the Saltwater Gazette we learn:
Warden Wolfer has wired the depart
ment of justice at Washington requesting
that no more Federal prisoners be sent to
action was deemed necessary owing to the
rapidly growing population here, which is
now the largest in the states history; and
as the accommodations at the new prison
are limited to about LOO; and the old
prison is soon to be abandoned, the war
den does not feel that the state prisoners
should be crowded. There are now 225
Federal prisoners confined, most of whose
terms will expire within the next year.

AN APPRECIATION

Editor of the Mirror,
Dear Sir:-I am constrained to express
my very sincere appreciation of your eff
forts to make Mothers Day here possible
and a tremendous success. To see such
unanimous response on this special occa-
sion was soul-inspiring, and more fitting
and proper tribute could not well have
been given to our first love, akin to the
love of Christ, who first loved US.
Indellible impressions have been made,
the enduring influences for good are limit
less, and the hallowed name and memory
of Mother is made at once more blessed,
since it's also immortal.
"Love covereth a multitude of SINS
and Holy Writ awards the prize to Mother
hood. Deciding then, according to the
evidence, we can form only one decision:
viz. nowhere and under no other circum-
stances or situations in life, can love, that
divine fulcrum, mean so much as to those
who have strayed much or little, from the
straight and narrow path.
After sumptuous repast it is customary
to have toasts, and here is one which
read some time ago, which [ deem appro-
pirate for this occasion.
To Mother
''To the one who loves when fortunes
bright,
But more when the sky is o er-cast;
Whose heart reveals, yet more conceals,
Our Mother, first and last
If perchance she be not with us: Then,
"O.er their hallowed graves, may the
winds of heaven whisper hourly
benedictions.
You bappuli, TOc Del.

PLAY OF TODAY
AS 1T REALLY IS
Continued from page One)

The play likewise suggests the advisa-
bility of eugenic marriages. We, as peo-
| pie, dislike to hear the truth, when that
truth is bad. This play tells the truth to
the ignorant and rouses the better instincts
of the wise. AS servant of the public,
the play is the place to bring forth the truth.
Another play shows up the whlte-slave
| industry in Its true light, and still there are
many people who would put the ban ON
| these plays, some because they tell the
| truth, others for their belief that they are
unfit for the young people to see. Before
certain age youth would understand abso-
lutely nothing of the moral plays; after a
certain age they would understand, and,
with judicial explanation by an older person,
would benefit greatly by it. Surely the
moral play injure the young people less than
| the burlesque shows or questionable music
| al comedies.
Ignorance has brought too much pain and
sorrow into this world for US to say the
moral play of today must go.
Last of all we have the "movies," the
''silent drama or the s'canned drama;''
which is the institution for old and young;
rich and poor; they all go. 1t is yet in its
infancy and still to be perfected, but the
most popular play of the age. The price of
admission is within reach of all and the en-
tertainments, entertaining. Farce, comedy,
romance, adventure and travel logues all
rolled into one and showed in one hour for
five or ten cents.
AS an entertaining medium, the movies
are unquestionable; as a moral instrument
it is uncertain. We read where boys and
girls sin or commit crime as the effect of the
movie and we also read where it takes
men from saloous which had been place of
congenial gathering.
Statistics prove the assertion that the peo-
pie of America are mixing business and
pleasure more equally and are becoming
better race for it, and as the theatre is one
of its greatest pleasure places, we quote from
Byron that, cts good; It's indeed
good

TWlNE DEPARTMENT
By Hemp.

They told US to be patient three more
moons and then-G)
The discontinuance of the night work
gave the different shops the pick of some
valuable men.
Last week the Irvine office was favored
with pleasant visit from the principals who
conducted the Elks show lately staged up
town.
Now that school has closed, beginning
with next week-we will try to stretch out
our weekly notes an inch or two-that is, if
they are appreciated?
Our young friend, Master Williams show
ed up last Saturday on horse back, but they
refused to admit him. Sorry, Bob, that
there was no hitching post.
Now that Foremen Alexander and Streb-
ell are back at their former places of guardi-
anship, after the suspension of the night
work, we anticipate some lively skirmish-
ing along the line. While one half of the
month has been written up as history with
the different mills at an even break, yet, last
Monday saw all start off with determine
ton to capture the coveted prize for the cur
rent month. We presume the same basis
for computing will be used this month as
was allowed in the month of April, that is,
the variation in the speed of the machinery
in the different systems will be taken into
consideration. This will give each fore
man an equitable standing so far as the mo-
tive efficiency of his spinners are concerned.
The balance rests with the making of the
best Irvine and the most of it. However,
let us add this warning. If you want to be
with the winning team it will be necessary
for each and every man to lend his utmost
capacities, for it promises to be a hard
light to the last ditch
