THANKSGIVING in Plymouth,

Thanksgiving was never more gen.
orally and appropriately observed and
enjoyed in Plymouth. Everybody
seemed happy. There were approri-
ate services at the Catholic ana Ger
man churches and a union service by
the other churches was held at the
Presbyterian church.
This service was very largely attend
ed. The sermon by Rev. A. P. belong
was rather out of the usual line. He
did not discuss national questions.
His subject was Gods providence and
care for the people of this world as in
dividuals and nations and it was an in
teresting and helpful sermon showing
that everybody had reasons to thank
God for his goodness and mercy.
The music by the Mozart club was
very fine. The scripture lesson by
Rev. E, 0. Palmer, the prayer by
Rev. W. S. Howard and the reading
of the Presidents proclamation by
Rev. r. G.. Epson were all appropriate
for the occasion and everybody felt
that it was a delightful Thanksgiving
service

There is not a line of manufactured
products that has as much competition
as basket manufacture, consequently
the price of baskets have not advanced
because of this competition. Com
petitOrS have heen forced to retail,
while the Edgerton company have
strictly adhered to their wholesale
trade. The increased demand for
their goods lies in their superiority
over other makes placed upon the
market. This fact has constantly
secured new customers and orders
from all parts of the country, which
has compelled the company to enlarge
It's plant and increase facilities for
meeting general demands.
This company is fortunately located
in a section of country that produces
an abundance of the right kind Of
material for basket making, and have

Pension Commissioned Ware has
been in possession Of his Office long
enough to realize that many reforms
are needed in the pension laws of the
country to meet the ever changing
conditions and to right many wrongs
that now exist.
In the first place he recommends
that more care be taken in medical ex-
aminatiOns of applicants, better med
ical and surgical talent be secured for
this purpose and the matter be put
more upon a genuine professional
plane, taking it entirely away from po-
litical influence. Next the recommen-
dation is made that pension examin-
ing boards be put under the civil SER
vice rules, and assigned to certain ter
ritory, or circuits, entirely outside of
the districts or states where they re-
side SO that nc partiality through ac-
quaintance may be shown. The
boards should have fixed days for Sit
ting in designated places.
The commissioner further recon-
mends that congress take action in
the matter of retiring pensioners
from active duty in the government
employ, who have become incapacitat-
ed for their work. He has 500 such
in his department, he says, who are
suffering from disabilities of war and
age, who by right should be placed on
the retired or superanuated list with
a sufficient allowance to keep them
above want, and their places supplied
with younger men.
Many other reforms are suggested
as the means of improving the service
and doing justice to the worthy PEN
sioner. He thinks there should be
laws passed prohibiting the giving Of
pensions TO widows who marry sold
iers after the soldiers have become
pensioners, and also that any n who
commits a criminal offense should for
felt his pension upon Conviction

At h Theatre.

The clever young comedian, Frank
Adams, gave the production of Uncle
Hez at the opera house Wednesday
night. The orchestra. alone, was we'll
worth the price OF admission.
Fun ran riot in the scene where
Uncle Hez made his appearance and
the band drill in the country store
with him at the bass drum was a most
thing. Some good dancing
was done by the darkey but his COM
p~anion, the adopted daughter of Uncle
Hez, was rather new at the business.
Uncle Hez was certainly the star of
the troupe and even when surrounded
BY crooks in New York his native
shrewdness brought him out on top.
The play closed with an act replete
with sudden and ludiNrons surprises
which were made possible by an ar
rangement of hidden mechanism.

Better Than to Die Rich.

Pittsburg has a building war on,
which is giving a good deal of enter
tainment and, incidentally, a good
deal Of material prosperity, without
any discomfort whatever. The parti-
clpants are those justly celebrated phil
anthropists, Andrew Carnegie and
Henry c. Frick. Each is trying to
Guido the other, or do the other, isn't
exactly clear which. But at any rate
they are fiinging fine Office buildings,
hotels, schools, libraries and the like
at each other with an abandon that Is
not only charming to Pittsburg to be-
hold, but as a system of exercise for
the two gentleman involved, beats the
physical culture fad all hollow. Both
of them seem to have come to the
conclusion that it is even better to
get even than to die rich.

Manufacturers Of Baskets

The successful introduction of i'm
proved machinery and mechanical ap-
planes in the production Of all kinds
of wooden goods has brought about a
complete revolution in their manufac-
ture. Until within a few years, COM
paratively, the manufacture of certain
kinds of goods Of this class was con-
fined mostly to the eastern states,
which seemed to have a monopoly on
the producing industries of the coun-
try, the west. northwest and south
being looked upon as mere feeders of
the raw material. This condition Of
affairs could not last, however, in view
of the grand possibilities for success

ments that have become successful ri
walls of their eastern compeers, where
a few years ago they owed their exis-
tence simply to the fact of being ship

raw material, and receiving back their
products from the factories of the
east, now TEEN with busy throngs Of
mechanics and mill operatives. and the
hum of machinery makes pleasant mu-

Labor and Politics.

The federation OF laboa, at its re-
cent convention, did a sensible act In
voting down the proposition to start
a political party in the interest of Or
ganized labor. The proposition had
strong backing in the convention and
probably would have made an even
better showing in the vote than it did
had not Samuel Gompers, the head of
the federation, opposed it. Many elo-
quent and influential labor leaders
were, and are still, in favor Of getting
the federation and the rest of labor
societies INTO active politics. SenSl-
BILE labor leaders, however, see that
their organizations have nothing to
gain but much to lose by entering
politics.

space in the factory occupies Is, 900

PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE.
The logs used for the manufacture
of the baskets are first placed in a vat
of hot water, holding 5000 feet of
logs, where they remain over night,
which thoroughly steams them. The
bark is then peeled off and the log is
placed on a lathe that revolves at a
rapid speed, shaving the veneer of in
a continuous sheet, which passes TO
a clipper that cuts it in any width
strip desired for making the baskets,
when 1t goes to the basket makers and
is fashioned into the different sized
baskets. All the material used in the
manufacture of the different kinds'of
baskets. with the exception of the
Briggs oak basket, is furnished
by the veneer machine. In the man.
ufacture Of the Briggs baskets the
oak is sawed IN a block which is
boiled and then cut into slaves which
are placed In shed and seasoned three
months before being used.
The handles used on the baskets are
planed and rounded by a machine es-
pecially designed for this purpose; a
feature nc other factory uses, and by
this process there is no rough or sharp
edges on the handles as is the case
with goods made by other makers.
GOODS MANUFACTURED,
This company are the oldest manu-
facturers Of the genuine Briggs oak
baskets, and their output is double
the production of all the other
factories combined. These baskets
are made Of white oak timber and fin
ished with galvinized steel hoops or

through each band. They are strong
