BRIDGE
Company Now Has Over 100
Men At Work
On Contract Work And Clear
ing Up Yards
Temporary Sheds Have Been
Constructed
And Several Machines Are
In Operation
New Plant To Be Completed
By Fall

The citizens of Mt. Vernon should be
very thankful for the beautiful March
days which are now prevailing, for
nothing in the world could be more
beneficial for the welfare and rapid
construction of the Mt Vernon Bridge
Works than the ideal weather which
allows the work to on without any
hindrance. All work of bridge build
ing and work on contract work is
going on at the present time just as
it was before the fire, although there
is somewhat of disadvantage, owing
to the absence of air hoists and other
machines necessary to the work of
construction.
At present about one hundred and
ten men are in the employ of the com,
pany, working as though the building
was standing. In the shop there are
about sixty-flve men at work, the 9th
ers being in either the north or south
yards.
1t win be impossible to begin the
steel construction of the new build
ing until the concrete work is COM
pleted around the outer foundations
and this will take some little time. The
supplies for building, however, will be
on hand about the first day of May and
then the work will go on as rapidly
as possible.
The construction of the new templet
shop has been started just south of
where the new building will be and will
project some distance into the south
yard. The new, building spoken of
will be somewhat larger than the old
structure which was destroyed. 1t will
extend several feet further north and
to the south, 1t will extend several
yards further than did the old build
ing. This will occupy great deal of
the yard room but not enough, 1t Is
thought, to hamper the work or work
men in any way.
To the north OF where the building
will be constructed, a temporary rivet-
ing shop is under way of construction.
It is being made of steel work and 1t is
probable that when the building is not
used for riveting shop after the
works have been completed, 1t will be
used for some other purpose.
The work in the shop is interesting
to watch as there are no conven-
fences as there were before the fire.
portable derrick on trucks Is used
for the hauling of heavy pieces which
cannot be handled by hand. This
is only an example of the various odd
means in which the work is going on.
A number of the shop machines
which were not ruined by the fire are
covered by small sheds built roughly
but in such way as to shelter the
machinery from the bad weather.
1t is wonderful to see the amount of
work which has been done in the last
three weeks in the way OF clearing
and cleaning up Anyone knows or
can imagine the amount of junk and
other heavy articles which would nat
urally be piled in jumbled mass af-
ter such fire This all has been cleared
away and sorted, ready for the junk
dealer.
1t is safe to say to the end of this
summer, the people will see new
bridge works fully completed.

paby,s Scalp All Crusted over.

Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot.
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was well. She is
now sixteen years of age and pic
ture of health. We used the Cutl-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. ]. Fish and Ella M.

Hollow Concrete Fence Posts.
To construct hollow REINFORCED con-
crete fence posts few notifications
of the, ordinary mold are necessary
in addition to the core to be placed
in the center of the post, writes c. A.
Cook. The mold for an ordinary AKA
inch post feet long consists Of bot
tom, two sides and two end gates, all
of which are held together by three
iron clamps placed over the top of the
sides after they are put together. The
sides are held to the bottom by small
dowel pins inserted in holes In the
bottom, SO that the sides may be read

lying on the base to harden. One end
gate must have two-inch hole in it
through which the core may be with

The wooden core is constructed OF
5 pieces and is inches in diameter.
It's full length should be ~ feet. A
round piece of soft wood may be
sawed into five strips, so that when
the central portion is withdrawn the

Remorse Following Reading of Evidence
Of Past Extravagance.

A woman who has been married seven
years recently cleaned out writing
desk drawer that belonged to her fa-
ther. whose death occurred a few months
ago, and came across a bundle of re-
ceipts as big as mans arm, tied with
red tape and marked on the outside,
'For Mary" She opened them and
saw that they were receipts for her
trousseau bills. The woman's best dress
now is a 50-cent wool, made by herself,
and she has worn it two years. When
she read in the receipts of lace she
had put on a corset cover that cost 81
a yard, she grabbed for fan, but had
a fit before she reached it. She revived
somewhat, but again scattered rugs over
the floor when she read that her we'd
ding gloves cost her father 500 and her
hose cost him SAT. She wears lucent
hose now. and fairly foamed at the
mouth when she realized that some of
her wedding hose cost So a pair. And

Farm Work Horses.

If those who have horses in their
charge on the farm would inaugurate
a more systematic course of feeding,
utilizing the cheaper forms of feed,
much expense of winter feeding could
be saved, and better and healthier
horses would be the result. Adopt, for
instance, the plan of feeding the
horses in the morning only stomach
full of the feed, a stomachful at noon,
and only stomachful at night. Such
a course would give the horses stom-
ach a chance to digest the feed.
If variety of feed is at hand, then
feed one kind in the morning, an
other at noon and another at night.
Regularity in feeding is important. If
horses are watered frequently enough
they will not drink too much at a
time. Regular exercise in the open
air is absolutely necessary to maintain
healthy condition. Spasmodic exsr-
cising alternating with periods of in
activity Is dangerous and Improbable.
The proper use of the means at COM
mand on the farm will insure a good
condition of the horses that will look
well, be we'll and give excellent serv-
ice.-N. A. Clapp.

Origin of the Potato.

The cultivated potato is a native of
the Chilean and Peruvian Andes, but
extends in original type as far north
as Colorado, where a wild form is
occasional. Wild varieties of the po-
tato exist in many parts Of the world,
but nowhere was it cultivated before
the discovery of the western continent
save in North and South. America. 1t
was taken to Europe, probably from
Peru to Spain, early in the sixteenth
century 1t seems Sir Francis Drake
introduced it into England in 1886,
though Sir Walter Raleigh is said to
have done this year before. 1t was
first regarded as curiosity, and so
remained until the latter part of the
eighteenth century, though the Royal
Society Of London in 1863 recommend
ed it as a possible safeguard against
famine among the Irish peasantry.

Caring for Grapes.

Rules for grapes culture from the
experiment station record, United
States Department of Agriculture:
The main points in grape culture
are summarized as follows
With a few exceptions grapes of the
Lubrusca species, of which the Con
cord may be taken as the type, are
the most satisfactory for general
planting.
A warm, rich, well drained soil is
best for the grape.
Almost all vines should be planted
at least eight feet apart.
Strong one-year-old vines are most
desirable for planting.
Thorough shallow cultivation is es
sential.
The pruning of the first two years
must be done with reference to the
system under which the vine is to be
trained after it begins fruiting. Dur.
ing this time the vine should become
thoroughly established.
The best time for the principal
pruning is soon after the leaves DROP
in autumn, but pruning can be done
at any time during the winter when
the vines are not frozen. Summer
pruning consists of pinching latera
branches in order to encourage the de
velopment of the fruit and the bearing
wood for the succeeding year.
The long arm, short spur system Of
training is usually the most satisfac
tory for the inexperienced grower
but the renewal systems are highly
recommended.

be creased, but the paper is fully as
effective.
The wooden core extends entirely
through the post, and two end gates
with two-inch holes in them are used
with it. The metal core should be
placed in the mold so that the small
err end is about two inches from the
top of the post. After the core is in
position the remainder of the con-
crete can be put in and the post set
aside to harden until the core and

PARIS IS PAISLEY MAD.
French Women Have Revived an Ole
Fashion in Many New Forms.


Paris has a new craze. She has
gone mad over Paisley. Everything to
wear is made in this we'll known pattern.
The old fashioned mixture of Paisley
and fringe is shown in most of the shops
in many articles of clothing and other
accessories women use. There are Pals
ley collars, ties and stockings, there are
Toby frills of the same pattern and Pals
ley hand bags and sunshades embellished
with long hanging fringe. In dress ma
terials there are Paisley silks, cottons,
foulards, chiffons and velvets. and per-
haps the very latest thing is Paisley
shantung.
In every variety of costume Paisley
is used. The great lady drives to the
Bots i'll a rich afternoon gown of Pals
ley silk, while the midinette trips out
to luncheon in a skinny Paisley cotton
blouse.
1t is a craze which men have not es-
capped. A Paisley tobacco pouch is the
latest thing to give to man, while he
must wear a Paisley cravat, and even
Paisley waistcoats have been seen.
