The KindergartnerS.

The X. q. banquet given by the class
of 90 TO the class of 90 was held at the
home of Miss Mary Pringle Monday
evening, Feb. l3.
All the members OF both classes were
present and also two guests When tea
was announced all were shown into the
dining room and told 10 find their places.
AT each place lay souvenir bearing the
name of the young lady for whom il
was intended. The souvenirs were
heart shaped and contained a verse
writted by "Our Poet, =" telling the par
ticular merits of the recipient.
The menu cards were rather difficult
to read as they were written in German,
but each young lady waited patiently,
feeling that soon those mysteri.
ous words would be revealed. Soon
the time for toasts came Miss Jessie
Myers as toast-mistress first proposed
the toast "My Girls" which was re-
sponded TO by Mrs. Plum. All fully
realized then. if never before. what a
deep personal interest Mrs. Plum feels
in each member of her department.
"Our Teacher" was responded to by
Miss Paddock. The classes felt that all
Miss Paddock said expressed the feeling
of each one toward "Our Teacher, " who
had helped, guided and encouraged them
in so many ways. Miss Smith responded
10 the toast, THE Children. " "A dreary
place the earth would be, We're there no
children in it" All felt the granduer
of our calling after listening 10 "Our

a dream, Miss Schoettle very vividly
pictured the education of the future.

NEARLYA QUARTER OF A MILE
The Length OF the Buildings as Planned for III,
Sugar Factory

Perhaps there are few, if any of our
of buildings TO be erected for the sugar
factory. We are not enabled to give an
accurate description of the entire plant
and all the machinery but through the
courtesy of Mr.. Sharp we have been
given the privilege of looking the plans
over and had them all thoroughly eX.
planned to US The buildings will all be
built for 1000 ton per day plant. but
the machinery put in will only have n
capacity of 500 tons per day This is
done so that if in the future at any time
the company should deem it necessary
TO enlarge the capacity, all that will
ueed TO be done will be TO put in the ma
chinery whereas, if it was necessary TO
erect new buildings it would entail
much more expense. The plans for the
buildings are nearly identical With the
ones for the new plant which is being
erected in Bay City this spring.
7, ere will be nine buildings in all. in.
Guiding the Office building and ware
houses. The main factory building will
be 333x10 feet and FIVE and one half
stories high This building will be con.
structed entirely OF brick. stone and iron
with cement floor. This building will
be erected in about the center of the
group and will be magnificent struct'
ure The lime kiln house will be l00x
II feet in size All the lime used in the
factory will be burned here. The size
of the boiler house is TO be 24Ox4S feet
and will contain ten pair of boilers ar.
ranged in such a manner that all the
smoke will pass through one chimney
A track will run the entire length of
these boilers in order TO easily furnish
the fuel which will be used. 1t is esti-
mated that these boilers will consume
fifty tons of coal per day. The engine
which will be used will be Of 100 horse
power of the most improved pattern.
! The beet shed will be 900 feet long by
20 feet in width. The entire length of
the buildings from the beginning of the
sheds TO the end of the warehouse will
cover 1860 feet, nearly one.quarter of a
mile
The contract for laying the fouuda-
tions for these buildings was let last
Tuesday 70 Daniel j Kennedy of Bay
City, for SIT. 900, he being the lowest Of
FIVE bidders. the highest being over sll,
500. Work is TO be started as soon as
tools can be placed on the ground.
We expect to be ahle to say something
in regard to the formation of the COM
pany in next weeks issue.
