When You Come to Think About 1t.
When you come to think about it-on this
old terrestrial ball,
Rilnned with roses IN the sptnStilie,
heared with frut1gc in the fall;
Though we all We're born a-SroWlln

There is really very little for the world
to sroWl about.
When you come to think about it-did
your erowlin' ever pay?
Did it ever bend ra1hbow-chase
thunder cloud away?
Don't it deafen all the angels When they
Try tn sing an shout. ~
Don't they know that there's hut little IN
the world to SroWl about!
When you come to think about it-but
the best ways not to think:

There are upwards of 100000 green
spool bars stacked in the yards of the
Foxcroft spool mill. Although this is
not the largest number that the COM
pany has had drying out at one time
it is very large and the bars cover 15
acres of land. The sticking grounds;
around the mill were not large enough
for this purpose and several acres
were leased of J. j. Folsom not far
from the corn shop. The company has
purchased a large number of bars. as
it has been Il particularly easy year to
obtain them. A large portion of these
are being dried out before being
shipped here, so that when all are in
there will be upwards of 2,500,000.
Things at the mill are very quiet just
now. only part of the crew being
employed and only four machines be-
ing run instead of the customary 10,
This is just enough to supply sufficient
fuel to keep the sawmill running. The
orders for the last few months have
been very small, owing to the fact that
the Clark Thread Co, to whom all
spools from this mill are shipper, is
at present very much overstocked.
