their business for the month. We under
stand that a liberal number of applicants
were granted their chance to make good.

Officer Fitzgerald is holding down the
night job, in cell house B, at the present
Officer ]. A. Westby, the genial printer
ium guard left for Minneapolis last Thurs
day to spend his vacation. He informed us
he was going to do his ''holidaying" in
the flour city where he will make merry
with his family, and renew acquaintance
of former days.
Officer CHASER is in charge of the print
shop during Mr.. Westby's absence.
Our job department is getting ont nifty
little memo book for the F. M. Dept. for
distribution to prospective purchasers and
others interested in our products. The
poaket, and have fifty neatly ruled pages,
free from all advertising matter and as we'll
carry neat little calendar for 1916 on the
inside back cover. Of course they are be-
ing put up by the "Mirror' from ruling
to stitching.
Keck is some busy on our local diamond
this week, and when next Saturday arrives,
fans and players will hardly recognize it.
He has removed the sod for a distance of
twenty feet all the way around the base-line
and leveled mp the ground with clay which
is being smoothed and rolled in the approved
manner. There are about forty men employ
ed on the job and they are rushing things
right along SO as to be in shape for the 2Sth
our next contest. When the work is COM
pleted our diamond will be an exact count
erpart of the Chicago White Sox home
grounds. Asst. Deputy Whalen has the job
in hand so we know it will be all to the good
for our Asst. Deputy is not only regular
"Fan,' but is some player himself.
Deputy Warden Sullivan is away enjoy
ing we'll earned, and no doubt very much
appreciated vacation. He is spending his
holiday in the east, and we can look for
ward to having some real up-to-date in
formation on what's doing around New
York when Mr.. Sullivan returns. We
wish him pleasant and restful holiday.
Mr.. F. A. Whittier, State Parole Agent
escorted party of personal friends through

Count Gren Ella and the members of the
orchestra has certainly been reaching the
boys of late on show-nights. Some music
fellows, and we all appreciate your kindly
efforts on our behalf. You can't give us
too much and it reaches a tender spot in
every man. What do you call that whist
ling number. Count? 1t sure isa pippin.
At last we are satisfied that we have
''Ball team" and we see the pennant COM
ing this way at the seasons end. An even
break with the district leaders was almost
more than we hoped for, but now that it is
an assured fact, we can't help having
pretty good hunch that we will take them
into camp when next we meet. Aye, and
the Cellar Colts too, on their return.
Van demonstrated his ability as a pitcher
last Saturday, among others who showed
up to good advantage, was Lovey at
third, who played a good steady game.
Della at short is the right man in the right
place. He not only covers his position in
class A style but has good eye when he is
up at the plate, and swing when he con.
meets that means a run for some one. Laff
is another strong hitter and Carl always
puts one or two over and hit with him
means run, for he is sure there when it
comes to stealing bases. The boys in the
garden did fine work last week, and it hard
ly seems that we could improve our team at
any point. What's thati Oh, we'll you
know Harry has been putting up an Al
game all season, so can't say any more a
bout him than that he is the only second
baseman in here of M. S. P. calibre.
