No one was ever injured by having his good
qualities made the subject of laudatory remarks.
The virtues, contend, like the plants reward
the attention bestowed upon them by growing
more and more thrifty and beautiful; and also,
man or woman will, in time, grow ashamed to ex-
hibit the qualities of bad man. or bad wo-
man." If this be true, it must then follow that
condemnatory opinions and remarks about the
good man or good woman would have tendency
to produce the opposite effect. We wonder!

FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS

What would we not do for those dear ones who
are so closely bound to us by every tie of love and
affections Are not their loved images so photo
graphed on the tablets of our mind that they are
visible to us every hour of the day and night9
in our hours of solemn contemplation, and in the
dreams which haunt nightly slumbers.
We do not believe there is one inmate in this
institution, whose better and higher nature cannot
be reached to greater or less extent through the
medium of his affections. The influence of
mother clinging wife and affectonate child, will
pierce the heart and break down the most revenge
full and desperate feeling. We all know that it is
now within our power when we leave here to re-
treve all this fearful rn,st-;nd to insure the hap
piness of ourselves and those of our dear ones
by working out and bringing to practical issue
our persistent resolve to break away from entang-
ling and worthless associates: and to concentrate
all our enel gies and talents to the great and
final object of own re-eslablishment in the esteem
and confidence of our friends and fellow citizens,
and the restoration of our loved ones to life of
comfort and happiness something they do not
enjoy during separation from them.
Is it not worth while to break away, to
give up those whose ambition is nothing more
noble than to lead worthless and useless life?
Is it not worth our while them to shun the en-
treaties of the aimless vagabond, and devote and
concentrate our thoughts and energies to those
who and dear to us and who hopes, trusts
and prays to God that we may soon be able to
take place by their side! Yes, it's worth our
WHILE we think, don't you!

1t is doubtful if man ever forgets the strange
sensation he experienced when. for the first time
in his life, he found himself in Il prison cell and
heard the rattle and catter of bolts and bars that
cut him off from the outer world 1t seems to
one like as if he had left his friends. needless of
their entreaties, and crossed wide gulf to wander
in strange and forbidden Iand and on his return
finds his friends gone. He gazes at the bars and
walls and realizes that he has passed from his own
control to the control of others; that from being
freeman he has, in a sense become a slave. But
time goes on change takes place in him. and
though others may not discover any apparent
change in the man. he himself is conscious of the
fact that he is no longer the man he was before
he went through the experience Of being locked
up as a criminal. He is either better man after
he leaves prison or worse UNANIMOUSLY better
man in some respects, at least.

We have host of so-caed friends
who hover and cOngregate around us in prosperity,
who each day seem to give us some renewed posi-
tive proof of their atacl ment for us. They win
confidence and hold our secrets. are very care
full never to say or do anything that wound our
feelings. In word, they seem and appear to be
linked by every tie that binds people as friends;
and this, too without really expecting anything
but your assured friendship in return. But as the
pendulum of time swings back and forth and the
ticking of the mantle piece marks the speedy
passing of the moments, there comes test; and
this test comes when we are in trouble; when sor-
row and misfortune overtakes us. it is then and
only then that able to pick out our true
friends; and then-what disappointment when we
had depended friend friends to help
us-to lend helping hand. No sadder nor
more souI-crushng condition ever falls to nortal
man than to know and realize that he has no
frends-to find out and learn the true value of his
one time frien |. or friends, after he finds himself
behind the bars"

to know and come to the awakening and realization
of the intrinsic value of a true friend to us and

walls that learn to realize the worthlesSness
of our called friend, and feel the God -inspred
and angelic presence of our true and loyal friend;
and it is also behind these walls that we are able
to the question: WHO are your frends?'
1t is behind these gray walls of silence that we
choose the IL +, lend who extends the helping
hand to us.
Give us the as friend who believes in us
when others denounce us; give the one as a
friend who understands us as we understand our
self; give lis the friend who finds time to
send few words OF hope and cheer; who visits
us and encourages us to ever keep hope alive and
the fires of ambition burning brightly; give us the
who knows all about us and likes us just the
same; give such friend us this for OUR friend
and YOU may have the rest of the world
When YOU have the friendship of such a per-
son, when you ever inspired by such divine
presence and encouraged by such a noble person
this, can safely and truly venture to assert
that the future for you will be one grand sweet
song. You will then be known by name and not
prison gray; and the prisons, reiormatories and
correctional institutions will know you no more;
the memory of your past will be as grain Ct
dust; your future will be haven of rest peace
and contentment, and all because of the devotion
of the true friend.

ONE YEAR WAR COST

David Lloyd-G George, chancellor of the eX-
chequer, in the House of Commons November H.

England would be $50, 100000 pounds ($2, 25O,-
OO0O0O). the largest amount England has ever
spent on war. and more than twice what was
spent in the four years. conflict in South Africa.
To pay this enormous bill the government has
decided he said, to raise loan of $50, 900. 600
pounds ($l, $780, OOOOUO) which will be issued at

redeemabe at par March |, 1928.

mously supported him. that the income tax should
be doubled but only collected onethird of the
income OF this year, that an extra oneh half pence

Chicago PACKERS WORKING
night AND DAY ON ORDERS
For the First Time in Sixteen Years
"a Hour Shifts Are Found Necessary
at Plants.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-For the first
time in sixteen years the meat packers
at Chicago stockyards are working day
and night in the canned meat and hide
departments to fill orders. The activ-
ity has been caused by large orders re-
ceived as a result of the European war.
In the canning departments of the
big packers alone three thousand
extra men have been put to work with
in a week.
The visible domestic supply of can
ming beef was depleted several weeks
ago and the packers began sending to
foreign fields for cattle suitable for
this purpose. AS a result Canada, Mex
leo, and Southern States which never
before shipped live stock to this mar
kets have been sending cattle here,
and receiving good prices for their pro-
duct.
The packers %announce their entire
stock of hides on hand has been con-
tracted for and that orders have been
received which will exhaust the norm
al supply for November and December.
Until recently the normal trade in
hides here has averaged from 40,-
600 to $4,000 hides week. Last week
10000 hides were sold on the local
market.

Glazing Company, of London, is in the
United States endeavoring to make ar
rangements with steel makers to roll a
special trough bar section for roofing
construction, which his compny has

The company formerly had these
bars rolled by mills at Liege, Belgium,
and war conditions have broken down
that source of supply. Apout 400 to
500 tons of these bars have been dis
tributed by the company annually.

Mr.. Banks. "To realize this busiess to

ials as we know from experience are
