PICKUPS AND PUNCHES
By Uncle John

A tue friend in need. is good friend
indeed!
State Agent Whittier escorted party of
personal friends around last Monday
Guard WEIGH escorted party of relatives
and friends around the institution last week.
Chief Engineer Schatz escorted a friend
around last Saturday, and also visited the
hospital.
l guess the gent in the moving picture
show the other night has it down pat-the
art of making ice.
Deputy Warden Sullivan brought party
of friends to the park last Saturday after
noon to see the ball game.
Prof. Schmidt received a new String
Bass, Violin and a Clarionet for us in
the orchestra last Monday.
The movies during the week were fine in
deed, especially those on Thursday evening
which we certainly enjoyed.
We are going to play ball next Saturday.
See if we don't. We can play as good as
any Giant any time, get that?
A new bass drummer was added to the
band last Monday. He has had some ex-
perience, and of course made good.
And now comes the nervy Jap and orders
Kaiser Billy to move out of China. Well
bet 30 to one l, Mr.. Fly-eater that he will
not do it, Savvy?
Officer Nelson's barber is in a class by
himself, he attends to all new men, and also
gives the departing guests real shampoo,
to remember him.
Guard Chaser escorted his wife, mother
and sister through the Institution one day
last week and showed them everything of
interest that was to be seen.
Twice we ventured near to the manager
of the Green Sox last Saturday, and each
time he was struck by ball, and the look
he gave us. Oh, what the user
Warden Wolfer showed several gentle
men friends around the institution last Sum
day afternoon, and they inspected the hos
pital grounds and green houses.
Since King came down from the old pris-
on with his little dog ''Tootsie,' the ia
nous Duke has lost all interest in music, he
has something more interesting to play with.
Asst. Warden Reed escorted party of
personal friends to the auditorium last Fri
day and kindly asked Prof Schmidt to play
them lively selection, which we did, and
from the way they applauded they certainly
appreciated the music.

WAY to avert has been suggested by the
Duluth News Tribune cartoonist. Tie couple of
monarchs back to back on the firing line 1t is be-
ieved that they will insist loudly and vehementIy
for peace after they have listened at close range
to some of wars cheerful tones and enjoyed few
of the close ntimacies which warfare's associations
bring. A few choice bullet holes rending the
royal robes might assist in fastening their cries
for peace. The experiment should be tried; and
possibly thousands of human lives be spared there

German citizens living in the United States
cannot be forced to serve in the German army.
This opinion was given by Attorney General
Smith in reply to query from the city attorney
of Mankato. Not even deserter from the army
is extraditabe.
There must be an express decree in treaties
with foreign countries in order that subjects living
here may be extradited. There is no such treaty
between the United States and Germany" said

In GERMANY. with an area no larger than the
states of Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri and where
the land has been under forced cultivation for
centuries the farms produce more than half as
much oats, almost as much hops, almost as much
barley three times as much sugar, six times as
many potatoes, and nine times much rye as they
produce in the entire United States. In 1907
Germany had 43, 900, 900 acres planted with wheat
rye. oats, barley and potatoes and harvested
three billion bushels. The same year we had
88, 500 900 acres more than twice as much land,
planted with the same crops, but we harvested on
ly one billion five hundred and seventy five million
bushels-hardly half as much Now, if our farm
ers had obtained the same yield per acre as was
obtained by the German farmers, should have
been better off by one billion four hundred million
dollars in the yield of 1907.
France is the size of our three great wheat
producing states-Kansas, Minnesota and North
Dakota. In 1907 these states and France sowed,
each 16, 100000 acres to wheat The French
farmers harvested 1926 OO0 900 bushels; our farmers
harvested 188 900, 000-only little than one
half as much. One hundred and thirty seven mil
lion dollars more to the French farmers from pre-
cisely the same amount of land and the same crop!
There are forty-fve thousand agricultural schools
in France.
There is no better soil in the world than ours.
There is better agricultural climate than ours.
But the nations of Europe raise from two to three
times more per acre than we do, because the most
productive thing in the world is practical intelli-
gence properly applied. --Lippincott's Magazine
