SMALL BOY BLISS.
(High School Credit.)

OcnOOI CTeQ1L.)
Winter! All, how that magic word charms
children and especially small boys. What fun
it is, when the first snow comes, to SNOWFALL
each other, to wash the little girls faces and
throw snowba1ls round the corner at the larger
girls. How fresh and clean old, mother earth
seems after good kuiet snowfall. Wrapped in
the sparkling white blanket she looks like
fairy queen deeked in her jewels. What splendid
studies the snow covered mountains, trees and
buildings make for the artist. Then again how
we young folk enjoy the skating, sleighing and
other amusements of winter. But what is more
fun than a good old husking bee, where the
young folk all gather on the great barn floor
and husk the corn, all the time slyly watching
to- see if some shy girl happens to get red
ear. Or tafy pull when the last Of the sugar
cane has been ground and the mangled cane
stalks are piled in great heaps, which afford
excellent places for, playing hide-andgo-seek-
and there is the old fireplace. How jolly it is I
around it on winter evening and tell or reat
crack nuts and roast apples, or listen to grandma
Of the good times when she was young.

New Machine Added-The Record Equipment One OF

Western States Weeks Paper Set On The New
Iinotype.

The machine seems almost intelli-
gent. With a skilled operator it
will do the work of from three to
five type settlers.
The Record has always taken pride
in having the most up-to-date print
shop in the state and the placing of
this new machine but adds to the ex-
cellent facilities for doing the best
printing.
In addition to setting the news mat
ter for the paper the machine will
set briefs, booklets. advertisements
and certain classes of job work.
A pleasing result to the pressman
is the fact that he always has new
type and the printed product is there
fore the handsomer.
AS soon as the new machine be-
comes acclimated The Record will be
glad to have its readers come in and
inspect it.

For several years the big dailies
have been using type setting ma
chimes and lately smaller dailies have
been using them. but so far as we
know, The Record is the first weekly
publication in the west to add a type

The machine is called linotype
because it sets line of type. 1t has
over 1700 parts, each perfected and
patented. 1t is very delicate. Ma
