ADIEU WARDEN REED

c. S. Reed, who has been Warden
of the Minnesota State Prison for
the past six years, severed his connec-
tons with this institution last Satur-
day, resigning to assume the position
of Manager of the Irvine plant at the
Michigan State Prison at Jackson.
Last Friday afternoon, at AS
o'clock, the officers and employees of
this institution gathered in the recep-
ton room, followed a few minutes
later by Warden Reed, conducted by
Assistant Deputy Piculell, and as the
two turned to face the employees,
Deputy J. ]. Sullivan stepped forth
and in few we'll chosen words pre-
sented to the Warden, on behalf of the
officers and employees, a complete set
of golf clubs, balls and carrying bag,

Through out the northern hemisphere
July is recognized as the warmest month
of the year, though August is often a
close second and has many days of ex-
IRENE heat This heated term in July
continues, notwithstanding the sun has
begun its course of recession from the
Tropic of Cancer.
July was originally the fifth month of
the Roman year and for that reason bore
the name "Quintilis." In the Alban cal
endar it had 36 days. Romulus reduced
it to 81 and Numa to 80 days. So it
stood for several centuries. 1t was re-
stored to 81 days by Julius Caesar,
who felt a personal interest in Ouintilis,
as it was his birth month. After the
death of Caesar, who had largely re-
formed the calendar, Mark Anthony
changed the name to July in honor of
the family of Caesar. 1t is said "this
month was selected for this distinction
when the sun was most potent to denote
that Julius was the emperor of the world
and therefore the appropriate leader of
one-half of the year."
The Saxons called July the shay
month";" because the hay was usually
moved in that month. They also called
it the 'mead or meadow month" from the
meads being then in bloom.

A WINNER

An American is just another name for
winner. A winner is the one who holds
en- minute after he is call IN. 1t is
that minute that costs the other fellow the
victory. 1t is that minute that carries
the American cover the top.
In every bit of work man sets out to
do there is one hard place. The getting
ready is easy. He is fresh. He is EN-
thusiastic. Then things begin to get
hard. He slows up. He lowers his head
and lunches his shoulders and pushes on
Now comes the brow of the hill. 1t
seems as if there was no more breath in
his lungs-that his heart won't carry him
one beat more. Then his soul speaks out,
''I'm here! Push on" And over the top
he goes. He wins.
The pilgrims starved and shivered and
buried their dead. Then they sang
psalm and held on-and they won. The
Catholic Fathers in the Mississippi Valley
hungered and thirsted and prayed on.
And they won.
In the Home Country the lad, crowded
in the little home, felt the push of poverty
and the oppression of harsh rule. He
heard of the land of freedom, a place
where fortunes were made. He dreamed
of going. He planned what great things
he would do in the new land. He
worked and saved to get his passage
money. AT last he was ready. With a
tiny box and bundle he started out. He
crossed the ocean on a crazy little sail
boat. He was months on the way. He
landed and found work. He worked
hard and saved and built his home and
founded family. When he came to his
hard places he set his teeth and pushed
on.
"It's in the family, in America. We
hold OH, and we win. Our fathers did
it and we do it.
Remember-an American is winner.

and admonished him to always chit
the balF' toward the goal of success.
As the Deputy finished Miss Ann
Moir, of the office force, advanced
and very cleverly read and presented
to the Warden, the following:
Words, after all, feebly express
All we would prove to you,
So hope this little bag of "sticks"
Our message will construe.
But lest we miss our meaning,
Which we hope to make most clear,
Well "stick" by you, and "stick" to you,
Till Judgment Day appear.
The "Niblick," "Mid-Iron," DRIVER"
The "Gleek" and "Putter" too,
We hope will "Putter" crimp or so
In those who hamper you.
And since these various "sticks"
Might put your thoughts whirle,
Remember that the "Masher"
Isn't used to mash a girl
So while, with sad reluctance,
We speed you on your way,
We swear allegiance to you
Forever and day.
Warden Reed in replying stated
that some persons under certain con-
ditions "boiled up" and said too
much, while under other conditions
their emotions choked them and they
could say but little, and that he
found himself in the latter condition.
He did, however, thank the officers
and employees for their beautiful
token of friendship and esteem, also
for their splendid cooperation during
his time as Warden, which, he said,
not only made the Minnesota State
Prison the model for all the state
but model for the whole
world as we'll. In closing, Mr.. Reed
wished all complete success and a con-
of their zeal for the insti-
tution's success.

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS

Nathaniel Hawthorne, the famous
American author, was born in Salem,
Mass, July 4, 1904, of Puritan ancestry.
His father was a sea-captain, and died
when Nathaniel was but four years old.
The child was of delicate health, shy, SEN
sitive, lover of books and solitude. He
was educated at private schools, and at
the age of seventeen entered Bowdoin
college, from which he graduated four
years later.
His series of "Twice Told Tales" was
published in 1887, and these were fol-
lowed by his other well-known writings,
"Mosses from an Old Manse," "The Scar
let Letter." and others. While on trip
to the White Mountains with ex-Presi-
dent Pierce, Hawthorne died, and was
buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery at
Concord.
Phineas Taylor Barnum, whose name
is synonymous, in every household in the
country, with sawdust rings and red
lemonade, was born at Bethel, Connecti-
cut, July 5, 1910. His business career
was not, at first, successful, and after
various ventures he established Barnum's
Museum, which twice burned, in New
York in 1S41.
Mr.. Barnum served as mayor of Bridge
port and was four times member of the
Connecticut Legislature.
While he was lecturer on temperance
and other popular subjects, as we'll as
writer, it was his career as Snowman
that made him famous. 1t was Phineas
Barnum who introduced the immortal
Tom Thumb and Jenny Lind to the Amer
lean public. His great circus was not
established until 1871.

for positions requiring patience and con-
tinual effort, such as heads of hotels
restaurants, etc., for the men; nursing
cooking and housekeeping for the women
They sometimes become excellent must
clans, artists and professional people.
The typical Cancer person is of medium
height inclined to plumpness, a round
face, soft skin, tawny or very pale COM
plexion, small features and light or gray
ish eyes. The most congenial companions
for these people are those born between
October % and November %, or between
February 10 and March II, but marriage
while young should be avoided.
The faults of these people are pro-
nounced but controlled more easily than
those of other signs. They are: laziness,
selfshness, jealousy, vanity and love of
money for moneys sake and for purpose
of display. Given to talking about them
selves, the great things they have done
and the sights they have seen. They are
changeable and tickle, loyal to friends up
to certain point, then turning entirely
against them for some slight cause. Fic-
kle in the extreme themselves, yet exact
ing in their demands on friends or re-
lative's loyalty to themselves.
Their gems are the emerald and black
onyx; their colors, green, silver, russell
brown; and the flower, the lily.

 He must show cause before Judge Knox why he should not be commit ted to jail for failure to answer ques- tions pressed by attorneys for the se- curlty companies which instituted bankruptcy proceedings in an effort to recover stolen securities.

Identification of the murdered man whose body was found on the bank of Rooster river. in Fairfield, Saturday morning, was established this after noon by Stanley Petrtske, a Locomo-
 nlle Company employe, who recogniz- ed the body as that of Charles Chem nette, of Chopsy Hill road
 Petrtske told the police that Chen nette has been missing from home

 was not in possession of complete de-
 tails at 1:S0 o'clock this afternoon.
 but Detective Sergeant George Simon.
 who has been working on the case
 since Saturday is now collecting
 further information. Mystery still
 shrouds that circumstances of the
 murder, but with the dead man iden-
 tified, the police believe that the re-
 mainder of the work will be easy, and
 the murderers will soon be brought
 to justice.
 One theory on which the police were working, exploded this morning when it was discovered that the find made by Theodore Hoyt, of IA Kings Highway, yesterday afternoon near the scene of the murder, was not the body of a child but merely evidence of birth.
 The woman's handkerchief which was found in the vicinity of the body will probably be discarded by the po- lice as a very shaky clue. The hand kerchief was of linen material, and when discovered by an officer was bleached white from rain and matted down into the leaves and twigS. It is believed that the handkerchief was dropped by someone long before the night of the murder. The cloth bore the letter ''M'' in one corner.
 A mans handkerchief which was also picked up near the body is re- garded by the police as a more likely 1 clue This handkerchief is badly soiled and does not appear to have 1 been exposed to the weather. It may have belonged to the dead man or to
 the men who murdered him. There ! is no initial on the cloth.
