-"Nothing goes out of life except to
make room for something better"
-Four large cars of coal were received
last Friday for the power-house.
There is always bright side to life,
but people who hunt gloom never find it.
Christian Science services were held in
the Auditorium last Sunday morning with
a full attendance.
Three cars of pig iron and two cars of
moulding sand for the foundry were receiv-
ed last week.
"A good many visitors were present in
the park last Saturday and had the pleasure
of witnessing very good game.
If all the trains would be tied up on
Labor Day the reading matter would become
very scarce. We sincerely hope it will be
averted.
Mr.. c. w. Catlin, of Minneapolis, has
taken charge of the print shop in the alb
sence of our former superintendent, Mr..
Gallagher.
Visitors will be plentiful around these
diggin's during the week. From all parts
of the State they will come as this is State
Fair Week and includes free entrance to this
institution.
There is yet room in the band and
orchestra for several young men. Any of
the new arrivals who want to join should
make themselves known to the Musical
Director.
There was quite a change in our ball
team last Saturday. and it looks as if every
player was suited for his position. Anyway,
we won and that's the main point. Oh
you Hudson!
1T must have been big disappoint-
ment to the Mpls. baseball team last Mon
day, for Bruce pitched air-tight ball after
the third inning.
School will open again in few weeks.
We hope that every one will attend who
lacks knowledge in reading and writing.
One is never too old to learn.
Inmates pay attention! 1t is against
the rules to send papers and magazines from
one cell hall to the other. Exchanges so
marked will be promptly discarded. Please
act accordingly.
Who says that there is no such thing
as luck? If our boys did not have any luck
Labor Day they would never have won
that game, except for the first inning it was
the hottest 12-inning game this season.
Shipping is finished, and the ware
houses are empty. The M. S. P. has just
finished about she biggest year in its history,
breaking all former records Ia Irvine and
farm machinery.

COntentment

Let us learn to be content with what we
have, let us get rid of our false estimates,
set up all the higher ideals-a quite home;
vines of our planting; few books full of
the inspiration of genius; few friends
worthy of being loved and able to love us
in return; hundred innocent pleasures
that bring no pain or remorse; devotion
to the right that will never swerve; simple
religion empty of all bigotry, full of trust
and hope and love-and to such philoso-
ply this world will give up>all the empty
Joy it has.-David Swing.

The Sun

| saw a golden horseman
Ride upward out of dawn
Upon golden stallion
On the trails of heaven gone.
And l, who travelled slowly
Through drab and level days,
Looked upward out of sorrow
In ecs tastes of praise.
l said, "Lo, one is golden
And rides beyond my soul
And climbs the hills of heaven
In fiery caracole!''
l said, "Yea, one has glory.
The heavens gallant guest!''
But he rides in dying splendor
Through the far gates of the west!

STELLAR WORK OF BOOTH AIDS
IN OVERWHELMING
VICTORY

The fans had expected a hard
and close battle and they certainly
were not disappointed. This game
will live long in the memories of
rabid rooters, because the climaxes
were numerous and heart thrilling.
Booth, the home pitcher, covered
himself with glory, by achieving
seventeen strike outs, letting the enc
my down with six puny blows,
and delivering the blowe that won
his own game. What can you ex-
pect when man makes five hits
out of six times up? And the pinch
hitters were right there with the
solid swats. Johnny Branch and
Lee swatted the leather at the precise
moment. The club fielding was ex-
cellent. Wagner started the rally
in the ninth which allowed us to tie
the score by tanning out two
Dagger. We were treated to the
best umpiring seen since the days of
Jack Sheridan. Mr.. Rice of Still
water, favored us with an exhibition
that would fill Silk O'Laughlin
with envy. From the moment the
batteries were announced until the
last man was out, the clear and mel
odious tones of his voice could be
distinguished in all parts of the
field. HIS enunciation and lnfexion
of and on the word Stub -rike'
was perfect.
The visitors were also favored
with good pitching as they sent
seventeen of our boys back to the
water bucket. and altho hit safely
fourteen times succeeded in keeping
them we'll scattered. Their work
as whole was very commendable.

Dig In

Dig right in and do your bit,
Take your dose of work and grin;
Put your soul right into it,
That's the only way to win;
Don't sit down and loudly wall,
Just because your task is tough;
That's the surest way to fail;
Tackle it and show your stuff.
Each man living meets his test,
Hard jobs come to one and all;
Dig right in and do your best,
Shirk it and you re sure to fail.
When you re up against a job
That's distasteful, dig right in,
Don't take time to sigh or sob;
Do it, and you're bound to win.

In Love with Your Work

In love with your work
And it goes so we'll.
You can hurry it off
Ere the world can tell;
It's a swing and a bound,
And a leap and a run
In love with your work
And the work is fun.
1t only goes hard
When it's work that you hate,
In the shop or the yard,
Or early or late
But the work that you love,
How it ripples through,
With song on your lips,
And smile there, too.
Oh, in love with your work,
And it goes so well,
Like the fun of the world,
And its dream and its spell!
For it's love in the heart
For the thing we are meant
That crowns with its beauty
The Masters intent.

With one of our army aviators putting
in full eight aou, day in the clouds there
seems to be some smattering of efficiency
in the service.
"A lady placed the following letters in
the bottom of her hour-barrel and asked
her husband to read them: "OICURMT.'
Mrs. Maloney's boy of years was
beating cat with rolling pin. Tears of
pride came into her eyes as she murmured:
"Poor darlin', you make me reminder
yer father, that's dead an gone, as he was
when he was jiSt appointed on the force
The teacher had told the pupils the
story of Washington and his little Ratchet,
and had then shown them an engraving
which depicted two small boys standing in
repentant attitude, ''explaining things

The title of the picture was ''The Truth
Tellers," and the children were asked to
write composition thereon.
This was little Johnnie's effort:
Zone day mother left me in the house
all alone. Pretty soon Tommy Jones came
along and said lets go swimming. My
mother won't let me. All, come on. So

Selected
The Thinker

Back of the beating hammer
BY which the steel is wrought,
Back of the workshops clamor
The seeker may find the Thought,
The thought that is ever Master
Of iron and steam and steel,
That rises above disaster
And tramples it under heel.
The drudge may fret and tinker
Or labor with lustieI blows,
But back of him stands the Thinker,
The clear-eyed man who knows;
For into each pillow or saber,
Each piece and part and whole,
Must 60 the brains of labor,
Which gives the world soul.
Back of the motors humming,
Back of the bells that sing,
Back of the hammers drumming,
Back of the cranes that swing,
There is the Eye which scans them,
Watching thru stress and strain,
There is the Mind which plans them
Back of the Drawn, the Brain.
Might of roaring boiler,
Force of the engines thrust,
Strength of the sweating toiler,
Greatly in these we trust,
But back of them stands the schemer,
The Thinker who drives things thru,
Back of the job-the Dreamer
Who's making the dream come true.
-Berton Braley.

Leares From Our. Poets
Hope Eternal


By Mr.. ]. B.
What is must be; so let the past be dead,
That past which scents not of withered
flower
To show the truth wherein a kind word
said
Might have gave joy, to live and fill this
hour;
This is repentance of the stihed soul,
Retained to blaze the way of new sought
goal.
That past, that starts an aching heart to
bleed,
Harms not its tomb; but rather from its
Enrich the soil with life's more kindly
glow;
This is the past that leads US to the way,
Where we may seek and find rose today.
Where man has erred, there is full recon-
pence
In finding truth; this is the penance sore
That humbles hearts and gives that fuller
sense,
They wake to meekly rise and climb once
This is the past wherein we live today
To see the truth, the light, and live today.
