FACTORY PLANS

The plans of the Northwestern
Radiator Company to branch out and
establish plant similar to the KEEL
Ter factory bid fair to materialize,
though just now they are in the in
cipient stage.
At special meeting Of the city
conncil held Saturday evening, March,
10, a petition was presented, signed
by over $40 citizens and tax payers of
the city, asking the council to appro-
pirate S10,OOO.O0 to encourage the es-
Establishment of a woodworking enter
prise similar to the Keller Manufac-
turing plant, on condition that the
company starting such enterprise in-
vests an additional amount not less
than $50, 100000.
The council recognized the import
anee of the petition, and expressed
itself more than pleased with the
proposition and anxious to comply
with the request of the petitioners,
but at that time failed to see any
legal way to do so, and no further act
ion was taken.
The Radiator company believes a
way will soon be found to permit it to
proceed with this new enterprise.
The company has secured the services
of B. +. Derrick, who was with the
Keller Mfg. Company for some years
Mr.. Derrick will act in asimilar capa-
city for the company. He has already
entered their employ. This move is
good one for the company and the
outlook is excellent for prosperous
future.

TRIBUTE TO MOTHER
John MCGibbOn Writes Poem In
Modern WOOdmen Contest That
Should Take Prize

The Modern Woodman, the official
organ of the secret society of that
name, offered a ten dollar prize for
the best poem on "Mother'', the
same to be published in that paper.
Some 400 poems have thus far been
received, and the paper will publish
the best in book form and put the
question of prize to vote. Among
the poems to be published is one by
John McGibbon of this city, which
should take prize. "Mother's Day"
is one of the days in the year when
the members of the order pay tribute
to their mother, either by writing
to them or i'm some other substantial
manner. Here's Mr.. McGibbon's
poem:
Oh, son, why do you never write
Your mother aged and gray?
Did say gray? Her hair is white
AS snow on winters day.
IloI Slcp 10 SllOiV, CIlC NOlSC 10 lON
That taught you how to pray;
Hands tremble now that used to sew
Your garments night and day.
Think of the hours of needfu1 rest
She sacrificed for you;
Think how she held you to her breast
And sang the long night through.
Come home and see your mother, boy;
Her heart beats weak and slow:
But every beat is for the lad
That left home years ago.
Don't stop to figure up the cost:
That's neither here nor there:
Or count the paltry dollars lost
To answer mothers prayer.

proval of the National Guard of South

Babb actively furthered Co., Moore's
interests in the campaign.
