twine the prison has bought in the
last year tons of Manila fiber from the

purpose of the prison is to turn each
man out a better man than he was
when he came in. and that is our
chief undertaking"
Mr.. Reeds ideas of prison discipline
are his own. They follow closely
those of Henry Wolfer, who modified
the silence rule just before his ser
vice closed.
The men are allowed to talk freely
at dinner on Sundays, Tuesdays and
Thursdays, Saturday afternoons, from
3 to 6, they have freedom of the YARD

MAKE THIS PRISON PAY
Net Earning of the Minnesota Peni-
Tertiary Was $4,000.


Minnesotas model state prison,
concededly the finest in the world, has
just finished the greatest industrial
year in its history, breaking all re-
cords in the manufacture of binding
twine and farm machinery with total
output and sales aggregating $2,75O,-
600. Figures are taken for the fiscal
year ending July 81, and have just
been compiled.

said Warden Charles S. Reed, (which
is 100000 pounds in excess of ehe
1915 sales, and we sent out 16,l47
pieces of agricultural machinery, an
increase of 5000 over the year before
The prison not only broke records
for volume of business, but in two
years has made a net profit of $40,

it has done this after paying wages tc
