emit Suspected Editor.

newest publication-made its debut
Saturday. in. a holiday number that
was distributed exclusively among the
inmates of the District Jail work
house and reformatory. Carrying
eight pages of up-to-date newspaper
features. treated humorously in the
main. the paper provided an unex-
pected Christmas entertainment for
several hundred prisoners.
Charles c. Foster. general superin-
tendent of District penal institutions
and former we'll known newspaper
man, is suspected of being the editor.
Among the contributors who have
signed articles in the first number are
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer,
Cardinal Gibbons. Bishop Harding and
Judge Ashley NJ. Gould.
The Attorney General suggests to the
prisoners that another chance will
come to them. No mistake so far
made is fatal" he states, "but if we
profit by 1T it will prove a blessing in
disguise"
Judge Gould points out that achieve
ment is the grit which enables one to
rise after fall rather than the pas
sive quality of never falling at all.

farmer wants quality. By that don't mean product
must be made of costly materials only, for machine
might be constructed of the most expensive materials
and still be impracticable But with high grade mater
