The ball team and fans wish to extend
their thanks to Mr. Nelson for the attractive
tassel caps he so kindly furnished for the
decoration of our "dusky bellies" who
were recently appointed mascots for the
M.S.P. ball team.
Weather permitting, the inmates herein
will have the pleasure of seeing the Simon
cts in action next Saturday on the local
diamond. We are informed that the fam
Gus ball team is as strong as ever this sea-
son; this being the case the M.S.P. will
have to get up and hustle to hold their own.
1t will sure be real ball game.
Among the out-of-State visitors to the
institution last week, none proved more
interested or intent on absorbing all the
knowledge possible than large party from
River Falls, Wis. The visitors were stu
dents and teachers from the Normal School,
and were here more from an instructive
viewpoint than curiosity.
The score keepers thanks are certainly
due to the ruling machine expert, Kal, and
his assistant of the printorium for the nifty
score-book he has just completed. 1t is
one of the neatest jobs ever turned out by
the printery and Kal certainly has right
to be proud of his handiwork. (You GER
tainly have my thanks and best wishes, Kal,
for the book is dandy.-T.W .L.)
Tuesday last, the pupils of the South
Side High School of Mpls. paid the insti-
tuition visit of inspection. Their trip here
was in accordance to a newly arranged
schedule of studies the State Board of Ed
ucation is adopting, the bases of which is
for the higher grade pupils to visit the var
ious State institutions and manufactures
and thus acquire at first hand some practi-
cal idea of subjects for future study.
Aside from being first class typo,
''Uncle Gosh is also an AL photo graph
er, and is at present busily engaged in the
Bertillon Room of the prison in taking
pictures. He has not, however, quit the
printorium and does not forget to call on
US occasionally and make inquiries as to
whether we still believe that Uncle Sam.
will take the Germ out of Germany, and
whether Austria will take the Rush out of
Russia etc. We wish him success in his
new position, but we also wish his speedy
return to our sanctum as soon as possible
or sooner would be the better for Ye hum
BILE Editor and co-workers.
The month of June so pre-eminently a
month of brides and consequently honey
moons, spoons and all manner of joys to
those outside the walls, is also month of
Joy and gladness to considerable number
herein, as there will be more men set at
liberty this month through expiration of
sentence than any other month in the year.
What grander, greater blessing can any
man ask or receive than his freedom. Let
us hope they one and all make good use of
their experience herein and live honestly
and fearlessly in the future so that they
shall be able to hold their heads up before
God and their fellowman.
The inmates attention is called to the
importance of sending your hankerchiefs,
socks and other articles you wish marked,
to the laundry. The articles on which you
wish to have your register number, must
not be soiled in any way. All linen and
wearing apparel the laundryman wishes to
mark for you but you must remember
that he expects you to send your articles to
him before they have been used. If you
comply with the request, no articles belong
ing to you will 60 astray as often happens
because you fail to send your articles to the
laundry in proper condition and thru the
proper channels.
Some show last night! Seems to be the
prevailing opinion of everyone around the
institution, as we 60 to press this morning.
They are quite correct when they make
this statement for from the time the first
scene of the initial number was flashed on
the screen till the "good night flicker
announced the finish, it was a show that
held the attention of every member of the
audience.
The opening number on the bill was a
Victor feature entitled 'Meg and L., and
the beauty and pathos of this number is
hard indeed to describe. 1t shows an old
man who has almost lived his allot-
ed years telling number of young associ-
ates of his sweetheart days, and goes on to
show how the. difference in their circum-
stances quickly shattered their bright young
