The perils of the perverter are many.
DR.. Newman was caller in Cell hall A
Monday evening of this week.
Five hundred mattresses are being manu-
factured for use in the cell-halls.
The night crew has been slightly augment
ed as there are now lis men on the owl list.
Surest thing, Uncle John, Easter eggs,
peanuts and fruit, that would be just the
best ever.
Obstinacy is detrimental to ones well-be
ing, but submissiveness will be found to be
very valuable asset.
Capt. Vollmer returned for duty in cell
hall A, after being confined at home for
several days with severe cold.
Mr.. Baker, of the front Office force, es-
corted a party OF visitors through the tailor
shop and laundry last Friday.
Little Toe the "Kranky Kid seemed to
be in somewhat of hurry last week, as
the show was "reel" short one.
Usher Brennan says there are lots of better
positions to his liking than being on duty
in the bathroom on bathing days.
We extend our congratulations to the
White Choir, for their splendid rendition
of "Blue Galilee,' at last Sunday chapel
service.
Honesty with ambition and promptness
in performing our daily duties, are the
essential factors, characteristic of man
that will succeed.
Coming into the chapel after the services
have commenced may be in vogue on the
outside, but we don't think it necessary to
do likewise herein.
Occupant of Cell 1-B would like to ex-
change the Saturday Evening Post and the
Cosmopolitan Magazines for the Popular,
Peoples or Adventure Magazines.
Another Sunday passed without the
morning drill. 1t is over eight weeks since
we had an opportunity to get out of doors.
Well, it won't be much longer.
Big Chief says, "only 1872 hours and 20
minutes left, then back to the western
plains for me-" Is it true Chief, the church
bells will ring shortly thereafter?
1t is poor policy to try to slide on the
bathroom floor on bathing days. even tho
the floor is nice and slippery. The men
find this out after their heads come in con-
tact with the floor several times.
The war must be affecting the paper in
dustry also, or something that may have
caused the present shortage of writing paper
That is if we may Judge from the material
we have received recently.
Cyclone the shop runner on returning
from the meeting of Parole Board remark
ed: CANT unlucky, was the fifteenth
in line, when someone said, no more to-
day, but will call you LATER "Now for
another suspense and l am feared l lost my
luck" Don't worry c.
Moe the expert wood butcher performed
operations on both bass and cello last week
and they are much improved by the neces-
sary repairs and were put in commission for
the Sunday services, although they lack a
very much needed coat of finishing, as can
readily be seen.
Next Saturday the members of the
Minnesota legislature will be entertained

Officer Westby, has been on duty in the
basement storeroom under the tailor-shop
the past week, where Abe and NJ, are busy
sorting and sizing the summer uniforms
preparatory to their distribution. 1t isn't
so very long either before the change will
be made. We have been in temporary
charge of clothing department in Abe's
absence.
The Oboe is decidedly an improvement
in the orchestra and has a tendency to pro-
vide the necessary balance thar was much
needed. We feel indebted to Nil Desper-
andum for this excellent acquisition which
became available thru his exceptional ability
and persistence to master this difficult in
strument.
Last Saturday was big day for few of
the men anyway, as one was discharged and
three went out on parole to take up life's
work in the outside world again. May
