"A novelty pencil sharpener was in
stalled in THE MIRROR Office the past week.
IT is nickel-plated, isin- glass affair, oval
shaped and operated by small crank. 1t
is very useful little article.
President Wilson is making a tour of
the west and will be in St. Paul, Sept. 9.
He is explaining the IA points of the Lea
que of Nations. His itiDerancy will cover
a period of twenty-five days.
"A sudden drop in the temperature was
noted the past few days. Straw hats we're
discarded and overcoats are being brought
forth from their abiding places. 1t is hoped
that summer has not deserted us this early
in the season.
There is always an opening in the
band or orchestra for musicians. Even
those that desire to learn are given an op-
portunity, and if any new arrivals feel so
inclined, and will make it known to your
officer, he will instruct you how to proceed.
approximately 5000 persons passed
through this institution during fair week
last year. A great many of the male popu
lation were over in France attending to a
little war business for America, and now
that they are home, it is safe to assert that
double that number will pass through this
year.
Among a number of visitors who
passed through this institution last week
was one who attracted a great deal of atten-
ton. He was young man, "a years of
age, height. feet, inches, and weighed
1868 pounds. AS man is not through
growing at this age, it would be rather
difficult to foretell his height and dimen-
sions when he reaches maturity.
The Daylight Savings law was repealed
the latter part of August. President Will
son has twice vetoed the bill on account of
existing conditions and the benefits that
city workers received from it. The Senate
and House, which has large rural follow
ing, decided in favor of the farmer and the
bill was passed over the presidents veto.
This has only occurred three times in the
eight years that President Wilson has
served. The clocks will be moved back
October 26, unless something unforeseen
occurs.
On October 6, 1918, Rev. R. c.
Westburger, pastor of the Second Presby-
terian church of Minneapolis, in company
with DR.. Geo. w. Sheldon of Pittsburgh,
Pa, paid this institution a visit. At that
NA"'Ss wi ShoP'oih AZ AhkiOouNluS tuC
reverend doctor, only allowed him ten min
utes to speak. DR.. Westburger was such
an interesting speaker that Reverend Ben
son promised that we should have an op-
portunity to hear him again, and that he
would be more generous with the time,
On Sunday, August 81, that promise was
fulfilled and Reverend Westburger delivered
a splendid discourse on "The Master
Christian" The learned gentleman has a
splendid stock of illustrations with which
he generously sprinkled the sermon. The
chapel hour passed only too quickly. We
trust that DR.. Westburger will come again
in the near future. After the services the
speaker was conducted through the entire
institution and extended his visit until the
dinner hour. He seemed we'll pleased with
and interested in the different departments
of the prison, We also thank Reverend
Benson for prevailing upon his CO. worker
to speak to us. 1t was indeed treat.
