ran from the tiume into the saw mill

floors, running belts and pulleys and
causing the breaking of a shaft when the
mill started up. 1t was an especially
incOnvenient time, as he had only few
DAYS more saving to do.

H.. T.. Hammond had to leave his now
ing Saturday forenoon and come to South
Paris to have his moving machine re-
paired, on account of break. Now that
is not a unique experience, and perhaps
you NAV think that it is not worth
mentioning; and it wouldn't be but for
the fact that this same machine has
done the moving on the Hammond farm
for twenty five years, and this is the hrst
time it has ever had to be taken out OF
the field for repairs during the haying
season. And the repairs on it this time
cost twenty-five cents. "But tell you,
says Mr.. Hammond, ''that when our
having was done that machine has been
taken care of. 1t hasn't been housed in
the barnyard all winter, as I've seen done
with them"
