B 3 has moved to his summer residence
atB 26O. Also B has moved to B 259.
We'll attended Christian Science services
were held in the auditorium last Sunday
morning.
The inmates were relieved of their
heavy winter suits and supplied with their
Summer uniforms of khaki.
"A goodly number of visitors were in
the park last Saturday. Of course the
weather had something to do with that.
That concrete road between the Power
House and the machine shops office is
completed at last. 1t was bigger job
then we thought it would be.
Several cars of iron rods and wheels
were received for the machine shop and
stored away for further use in the basement
under the factory.
The night shift has again been cut in
half, and it looks so small now that you can
hardly notice the squad, and soon there
won't be any left.
Our greenhouse artists did not forget
our auditorium last Sunday, which was
shown by the beautiful display of flowers
they brought over to decorate the interior
ALL the shops in the twine plant are
"spring cleaning, whi,ewashing, paint
ing and busting. Many factories on the
outside do not look as clean and neat as do
ours inside the high walls.
The warehouses are getting buster every
day. Machines and Irvine are being ship
ped in small lots just now. but very soon
these departments will be kept busy from
morning till night shipping goods away.
Several thousands of MIRRORS were sent
out to the farmers of the state as sample
copies, and as an ''ad' for our Farm Ma
chinery. 1t kept several men busy for two
days to fold and wrap them for mailing.
"A new kind of tobacco made its ap
pearance in the cell halls last Sunday morn
ing under the name of "Prairie Rose" It's
all to the good, and just strong enough to
make good smoke. Hope the Steward
has plenty of it on hand.
Another surprise our Chaplain had in
store for us last Sunday morning was
the singer he brought with him-Mrs. E.
Olander, of St. Paul, who sang four solos
in a pleasing manner, and which were
heartily appreciated.
When the inmates went to breakfast last
Sunday morning each one found a beautiful
white carnation beside his plate, which he
eagerly fastened In the buttonhole of his
coat. The smile each one wore was good
to see.
Our visiting gallery was full last Sunday
morning. Wonder how it is that the out
side people know so quick when there is
something good to hear, or something good
to see in our big auditorium. They were
not disappointed last Sunday morning.
Rev. Benson introduced to his congre-
CATION last Sunday morning, Mrs. DR.. En-
ma Ewald, of Chicago, who delivered one of
the finest and most torcefull sermons we
sermon worth listening 10, the only regret
we felt was that it was all too short.
The Prison Night School adjourned
last Friday night for the season, and the
Chautauqua Circle has also taken its annual
vacation There's nothing left but our ball
team and we hope to enjoy the games dur
ing the summer; so get busy and help the
boys all you can.
-''Ethel," said her mother, "have you
been at my preserves AGAIN.
Ethel at once became very busy arranging
her dolls hair. "Mother," she replied,
"when you were little girl didn't grand
ma teach you, same's you have me, not to
be too 'quisitivef''
The manager of factory inquired
whether new man was progressing with
his work. The foreman. who had not
agreed very we'll with the man in question,
exclaimed: Progressing! | have taught
him everything know, and he is still an
ignorant fool
