FOUNDRY SPARKS
Bu Sand artist

No, Mr.. Editor, you are not rid of me
yet; only got permit to start baseball
nine.
Three from this shop were before the
Pardon Board; two played the 90 and won
one core maker and one machine
operator.
Sand Artist started on the brass floor the
18th and will continue on brass until the
whole of next season orders are finished.
1t is pleasing to me to know you have
not forgotten me, M. NJ. E. l will en-
deavor by my conduct in the future to re-
tain your good wishes and friendship.
Don't bother me, Uncle John, asking
me fool questions, as to what a skirt will
do. 1t takes all my time making brass,
the initial game July II.
From all reports the core room boys will
be working piece work in the near future,
instead of each receiving so much a day.
That will give the workers chance to
stack up few more blue chips.
We are taking off four heats of brass
each day. Each crucible Chats what the
melted brass, and pours from eighteen to
twenty-three molds, according to the hef
of the casting being poured. At that rate
we turn out about 1850 bushings eacf
week.
1t seems made a mistake in the las
issue by stating there was but several h un-
dred pounds of brass to work up. The fac
of the matter is, all of next seasons bras
will be made before we move, so as not tt
incur the expense of building brass fur
thing like five ton of bushings for mowers
will be made, besides several hundred
pounds more will be worked up in ode
jobs. All of which means Sand Artist
chances are slim for holding down job ir
the choir boat. l should worry.

FLYERS FROM SHOP D
By SLiUers

Thanks, Sherlock, but we are no longer
bawl-er.
Foreman Lesh is wearing the smile that
won't come off.
News is rather hard to find around our
diggings the past week.
Pipe the new hasher. Yep, that hand
some chap is none other than the Baron.
Thanks, F. c., for the Clipper. When
you get permanently located we will recip-
rOcate.
Mat has been putting new hackel pins in
all of the spinner chains. Some job, be-
lieve me.
Don was transferred to shop E last week
and is assisting Officer Thompson's bunch
of huskies.
The Million Dollar Kid says the only
trouble with his bank roll is that he can t
spend it.
l.. q. joined the warehouse nuts a few
days, but resigned to become a member of
the grand jury; later he took out a card in
the muckers' union again.
Officer Mccarthy was in charge of the
chapel for general confessions last Saturday.
Guard Golf presided over shop d while
Mr.. Mccarthy was away.
No, Sully, that is not black paint on
Mikes set; in fact they are painted red like
all the rest, only you can't see the red
paint, but Mike says he is going to sur
prise us all some day by wiping them off.

THE NIGHT HAWKS
By The Baron

Although in old-time words expressed
Whate'er the new may say,
The old-tme wish is still best
And sweetest wish today.
Clifton Bingham.
Mac grabs the repair tools again.
J. Def. vacates the tester job and goes to
the other department.
1t is now known that the Hawks posses a
vocal quartette as well as ballers quartette.
Mickie and Mac were trying to corner
the butter and eggs the other morning at
dejeuner.
g., the push-cart man, went astray the
other night. 1t is said that he Was rushing
the can for Mickie.
F. c., of choir fame, takes up the posi-
ton as tester, the choir will lose a good
artist. The Hawks will gain one.
Ninety-hve Thousand eight hundred
pounds of Standard Irvine No. 3 saytem
were accounted for during the week by the
Subway Lancers.

heated argument about baseball stars
Suddenly the teacher observed the irregu-

Willie BeggsF' Back came this reply,

Both choirs did ample justice to Our
Mothers Day Services. The solo and
chorus of that beautiful song "Mother
Dear" apparently, touched the congregation
to the very utmost, emotional tendency
prevailing throughout. We should like to
hear H, the leading soprano take mp the
solo occasionally. The colored choir was
at its best
Eighty-six thousand seven hundred
pounds of Standard Irvine was accounted for
during the last five nights of the night shift
Seventeen thousand five. hundred pounds
were made the last night, beating the day
men by one thousand five hundred pounds,
the day men turned out sixteen pounds on
Fridray. 1t took them five days to beat
the Hawks by six hundred pounds.

"True happiness when understood
Consists alone in doing good
But few will heed the sage advice
To earn their Joy at such price.

SHOPS B and e (Old PRISON.
By Beau Esprita

Procrastination Pete is the happy man.
The summer uniforms just match his NOUS
| tache.
The Wiseheimer twins of shop E have
been helping out on the packing of late,
putting up harvester poles and hay rakes.
Bob has been breaking in fresh fish at
the vat work this past week. Says he will
make painter of him, or bust. Now
don't no that, Bob!
Mel. who has rendered good service to
paint shop for several months past, as a
brush hand, has been transferred the in
mates kitchen as head cook. Congratula-
tons.
Otto Mobile is busy writing a Mexicong
- at least, he is making the muse sick for
stirring ballad of Mexican love and war;
Or does war come before love in our sister
republic?.
The timer had one-round set-to with
the big wall clock in shop last week, and
from the way it has gained time since then
we figure our sentece will expire in 1926
instead of 1928. Good work, old man.
Call again!
Hay rakes are all the go hereabouts now.
Foreman Stahl of the assembly room is
rushing axels and frames, and Foreman
Christensen of the woodshop is turning out
wood parts rapidly. The paint shop has
to hustle to keep up.
A citizen employee has been added to the
paint shop crew, and is now in charge of
the painting being alone at the new prison.
This gives Foreman Plaster a chance to
catch his breath, as he does not have to visit
the new prison oftener than once week.
Just to give you line on the amount of
work done by the packing crew in shops B
and E, take notice of what Uncle John says
about the extra teams hired to handle the
yard work. Eight packers turn out enough
work to keep three teams busy hauling it
from the factory to the warehouses. Not
bad, eh what?
A Good Habit
The Dictionary habit" Sherlock, as
phrase was coined by DR.. Bird, the famous
literary critic. AS used by him, it means
not only frequent reference 10 the diction-
airy, but the practice of looking up the def
milton, pronunciation, syntax, etc of all
unfamiliar words encountered in the course
of general reading, together with their syn
onyms and antonyms, and their proper uses
to vary and shade the meaning of sentence.
In my own opinion, the dictionary habit
is of far more use to an adult whose educa-
ton is not quite up to par than all the text
books on grammar and rhetoric that ever
were written. Would like to see you at
length on the idea.

UNCLE JOHNS SAYINGS

Perhaps this is the last nonsense we will
write from the old prison.
Steward Deragish was visitor at the
old prison last Friday on business.
And still the fighting goes merrily on, in
Mexico. Wonder if it ever will stop?
Several machines have been moved away
during the week by the Western Shoe Co.
Guard Chaser is stationed between the
gates at present and is handling the ksyes.
Young Whittier escorted a party of
friends around the institution last Monday.
Received two car loads of paper shoe
boxes by the Western Shoe Co. during the
week.
We may be late to every thing in life,
to die.
The warden held his monthly interviews
at the deputy warden office last Thursday
afternoon.
Usher Casino was on the sick list for a
few days last week, but is on deck again as
hearty as ever.
1t makes no difference what you were or
what you are today; its what you will be in
the future that counts.
Mr.. Caldwell, former manager of the
Western Shoe Company was visitor at the
institution last Saturday.
Yep, Sand Artist, we Jest kinder 'spected
that name to jar we. We can give you
some more if you want EN-.
We haven't heard any cheering because
of school vacation. Most of the boys are
sorry that school nights are over.
The premonition is correct, Herr Baron,
the band and orchestra will be with you on
Decoration day for keeps. Good news,
Ell?
All the inmates at the old prison appeared
in their summer uniforms last Sunday morn
ing and it looked indeed like military
camp.
Always take time to consider the Conse-
quences before taking doubtful step. You
will be saved many hours of worry by so
doing.
Nine days more and then we observe
Decoration day. Let us remember those
brave old patriots in whose honor the day
is set apart.
Now don't get excited, Sherlock, Book
worm has joined the Knockers union and
lost his pencil and will not find it for few
weeks. Is that plain enough
They are very busy at the new prison
erecting buildings of every description.
Wonder if they have built band stand in
the new park? How about it,
Guard Plante who was between the gates
all winter, is again enjoying the fresh air.
He has charge of the big motor truck now
and is as busy as bundle bee.
If guard Hustine keeps it up the way he
has been the last few days, he will soon
have the warehouses empty. -Four and five
car loads of machines shipped every day.
Randolph Mech, of Great Britain, is
growing chickens fifty per cent faster by
the aid of electricity. Will some one
around these diggings please do likewise.
The man who is always grumbling and
who is never satisfied, will, in all probabi-
lily, 60 down in sorrow to his grave, hav-
ing missed all the brightness and good
things of life.
The board OF parole held its monthly
meeting in the board room at the old prison
last Wednesday and after considering twen-
ty-fve applications, they granted eight par
oles and two discharges. The board acted
very literally, indeed.
