side the band saw, new head
blocks and a new carriage will
be used instead of those of last
year. All the rolls in the mill
have been changed from dead
to live, by adding a chain drive
and a new conveyor and “hog"
will handle the slabs. The saw
will be operated by an indep
endent engine, thus removing
the old trouble of lack or'pow
er. A new planer is being ad

be thoroughly overhauled. As
a safeguard against fire—an

with tar and gravel, and the

a ridge pipe with quarter inch
holes every six inches, capable
of completely flooding the roof.
In addition to these, a thousand

have been made, all ol which
will tend to increase the effici

THE OUTLOOK
O. shall we in the Wilson
reign be prosperous and gay, or
shall we murmur and complain
(hat hard times make us gray?
It all depends on divers things,
and sundry things as well, as
whether grief our bosoms
wring or joy shall make u
yell. The man who buckles
down to work for (ears will
have no cause; but woe will
haunt the idle shirk, who'll
clamor for more laws. We’ll
never have a government that j
pdot will the feet of idlers, j
-oaked in discontent, along to.
Easy street. We’H, never*have |
a government that will heal
down and smash the busy, -
cheerful, hustling gent who
works and saves his cash. The
man who looks lo Washington
for board and bed and clotliers
will reach the poorhouse when
he’s done complaining of his
woes. No government, at our
behest will strew our path with
flowers; while Woodrow Wil
son does his best, we also
should do ours.
