OUR Navy yard contains 100000
worth of canned meats and there is
1850, 900 worth on our warships.
Rear Admiral Harris declares the
meats were inspected from hoof to
can. and there have been no COM
plants regarding it in the Navy. So,
the papers which announced that,
"The Navy may dump meat over
beard" had no more authority for
the statement than their own imag-
inaticn. Officials would not dare
dump it without explicit orders from
Rooevelt.

coctlg piece of machinery has been /
installed behind a plate glass window |
on the ground floor of the Hammond /
building and can be seen in operation |
daily. 1t is in charge of competent |
mechaics who will be glad to explain
its mechanism to ali woh seek to be
enlightened upon the wonderful
progress of this department of news
paper making.
Marvellous Linotypes.
The Times plant is equally as well
supplied with other machinery which
corresponds in every way with the
big newspaper press. Two Mergen-
thaler 1inotypes set the type for the
daily edition. They are the most
the market today. and enable each
operator to do the work of their type
settlers. Every line of type is cast
anew, giving a new clean face of type
every day This is one OF the most
wonderful machines built, and is well
worth the walking down Fayette
street where their operation can
be seen from thestreets since they are
standing in front of the big windows
in the full light 1t would be well
worth the while to follow a piece of
news from the hands of the writer to
the printed paper.
The editoria rooms are separate
from the mechanical rooms of the
plant, and five typewriters make it
possible to write every piece of
copy" on a machine 1t then goes
to the linotype machines and the
type goes through the new proof
press, and then to the proof reader
then to the makeup man, and finally
to the steortyping department.
From 7 BILE to Stereotype.
Here a great vat of boiling lead is
in readiness. page of type is put
into a steam table and under heavy
pressure a perfect proof of the whole
tpage is taken in specially prepared
paper This impression is then fitted
in a die and the molten lead poure
over it. In less time than it takes to
tell it, a full page plate is cast
curved to fit the cylinder of the ro-
tary press. 1t is clamped in place
still so hot from the furnace that
the stereotypers must handle it with
leather to protect their hands; the
word is given and the press begins to
toss out the papers all folded for
distribution The whole complicated
process has consumed a little over a
half hour from the time the last copy
comes from the editorial room until
the big press is counting off the pa

We have made the assertion that
the Times is the best equipped news
paper plant in Northern Indiana. 1t
also has one of the best equipped job
departments in the territory. With
a complete new outfit of the latest
styles in job and advertising typeset-
ting an expert printer in charge of
the department we can turn out as
handsome work as any shop of its
kind. Anything from posters and
calling cards to the finest class of
wedding stationery or an eighty page
book we are able to turn out in the
shortest possible time consistent with
good results.

class of work we have never been

Enclosing, steel plate script card
printing, as well as the finest class
of color work we are putting out,
and it is a class of work of which we
are not ashamed.
Now that we have installed limo
type machines we are ready to turn
out piece work for other shops and
we are already assured of plenty of
this class of work. For the longer
runs in our job department of $4,000
and 100000 runs we have put in a
fiat stereotyping outfit, which will
make a cast of any piece of job work
from card to a full page bill. BY
this we mean to save the wear on
our new type faces, and thus always
give our patrons work which has not
been blurred by old worn out type.

Acknowledge One Error.

my Dear Mr.. Wadsworth 1T in the
first place, ! wish promptly to ac-
knowledge the one portion Of your let
ter in which you are. in the main,
right, l was in error in the statement,
which l accepted from Senator Bev-
er1dge, that there was no provision for
making the plants accessible at all
hours to the inspectors The provision
was put in in another place: but it is
not as good as the original provision.
The court provision is the one TO which
| most object; although by no means
the only one to which | object: it is
one of many. As regards this. | wish
to repeat that if deliberately designed
to prevent the remedying of the evils
complained of, this Is the exact pro-
vision which the friends Of the pack
ers and the packers themselves would
have provided
Court Provision Not Needed,
1T is absurd to assert that any such
provision is needed Why have you
not put such a provision in the post
EoihSs ID " as IL dlIects iFauu OFuefs. IN
the law as it affect fraudulent entries
of homesteads, etc? Congress cannot
take away the constitutional rights of
the packers, or of any one else, to the
protection of the courts. But such a
| provision az that under consideration
does not represent q desire to secure
the constitutional rights Of any man.
1t represents doubtless, in some cases,
an honest though wholly mistaken con-
vfctfon; in other cases it represents a
deliberate purpose to interfere with ef-
fective administration by trying to pro
vide that the courts shall in reality
do administrative work which they
would be tile frs. to assert their in
ability to perform.

ing common carriers of pipe lines. He
asked that the kilograms be referred
to the conferees, remarking that he
had made an effort to personally pre-
sent them to the conferees but that he
had been denied admission to- their
