left for the east to spend the
holidays. While gone Mr.. Armstrong
will visit eastern machine works and
see what kind of machinery Is avail
able for rolling mill. A zinc rolling

aluminium rolling mill and there are
only few concerns that make it. The |
trail of that mill is getting mighty |

Thursday was not only regular
semi-monthly pay day at the factories
of lola, but it was the day when the |
Lanyon Zinc company employees drew
the bonusfor good work. At the form
er drawing one man received $50 bonus
for his care on top of his regular 1925

one finds those letters which through
carelessness, haste or ignorance are
improperly addressed or are not
stamped. Among these appeared one
addressed in a scrawl: est. Nicholee"

nor stamp and the postmaster, as

whereabouts of that well-known per-

stamping across the front; "Held for
want of postage"

Pttsburg Headlight: j. II. Kuder
superintendent of the lola Vitrifed
Brick works, was a visitor yesterday
afternoon the guest of Frank Harlin.
While here he visited the Pittsburg
Nitrifed Brick works ard expressed
himself "a more than surprised at its
immensely and after going through it
said that one might travel over the
entire country and they would not find
a larger and better equipped plant
unless it would be in st. Louis or
some of the large cities. Mr.. Kuder
is an old and experienced brick man
and such an opinion from him carries
some weight.
Fred Savings, a farmer down in
Salem township, made up his mind to
test the gas bearing qualities of the
land in his neighborhood and so had

suit was not as great as one might hope
but enough gas was found TO show
the whole county is pretty well under
laid with the precious fuel, At 60C
feet he got what proved to be the
heaviest flow in the well, but the drill
was sent ON down and other light flows
! found, He has piped his house and it
q seems probable that he will have fuel
I for the rest of his days without the
! trouble Of carrying or chopping.
