The Long Delayed Orders Finally Issued from New York
Headquarters and the Local Management Now Preparing
for Complete Resumption. Operations will Commence
Within Three or Four Weeks.
WILL HELP RESTORE LOCAL PROSPERITY

For several months the citizens OF our
town have been expecting the silk mill
to resume operations, and have been
anxiously waiting to hear that orders
had been issued for starting the mill,
but such orders failed to come. Last
Friday Asst. Supt. George o. Lutz re-
ceived word from the company that the
mill would be In operation inside Of
three or four weeks. This is certainly
good news, as the silk mill, when In full
operation, is one OF our best paying in
dustries. A number OF young people,
who do not have other employment,
make good wages when the silk mill Is
in operation.

Mathematics at Oxford.

There is an interesting story which
shows the disposition Of Oxford to-
ward mathematics. A venerable don
who had bought half dozen books at
3s. Cd. each requested the bookseller
to give him a piece of paper for the
purpose Of arriving at the amount. He
then wrote down 3s. Cd. six times, one
under the other, and was slowly add
ing them up when the shopman ven
tured to point out the shorter method
Of multiplying one 3s. Cd. by 6. Dear
mer exclaimed the don. "Really, that
is most ingenious, most ingenious. z
