Hot Work and Ice Water.

Were the figures obtainable show
ing the amount of ice water drank
every day by the men who work in the
smelters it would be astonishing. At
all of the works great tanks, six by
eight feet in dimensions are main
tanned and large quantities of ice
dumped daily to cool the innumerable
barrels of water emptied into them.
The men work in places so hot that
they wear nothing but overalls and
the sweat pours from every pore in
their bodies. Not half an hour passes
that they don't step to the tank and
rapidly drink two or three cups of the
ice cold water, returning then to work.
Pick up any almanac on earth and it
will tell you that the cross cut to
death is to get warm and take cold
drink, but hundreds of men in lola do
this daily and maintain fine, healthy

that we will build with the aid of the

the county to reach lola, one half of
the townships of Elm and Marmaton all
of Salem Elsmore and most of Cot

Furthermore the county has not
built a bridge in lola township for
nearly fifteen years. 1t behooves us

county. Yours respectfully,

Preparing to Run Full Blast.

The lola Portland Cement plant is
getting ready toput the last section in
operation. Never since the plant was
constructed has it before operated to
its full capacity. The three sections
have been run separately in turn and
for some time two sections have been
running, but the third section is being
made ready now and all three will
operate steadily so long as the pres
ent demand for cement keeps as strong.
The increase will require some seven
ty-fve more workmen and the output
will be swelled to the full 3, 800 barrels
a day, And there isn't the like of the

filed'by L, K. Taylor asking the court
to have John Vannuys get an abstract
and deliver it and a deed to Mr.. Tay-

money but it was refused and the de-
