The Marshall republican., 1912-09-20

An ordinary trip to Chicago 1,
Of no special interest, but we be.
lieve that the visit made there b,
forty OF our people this week will
bear mentioning.
The special train left here al
$50 Friday eveninf and as sc
many went away we decided to
go along and take care of them
Among the Marshall crowd were
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hightshoe
Mrs. Geo. Young and daughter
Mrs. John Irvine, Misses Dora Lee
nard and Helen Huff, Al Darling
DR.. Will Sharp, Geo. Giger, the last
two Of Saline City; Clarence Black
burn w. r. Thebold, Bernard
Winston. j. j. Campbell and wife
and Mr.. Weaver OF Shackelford
and a good delegation Of colored
persons.
At Chicago some attended to
business while Others sought pleas
ure. The latter went to Milwau-
kee by boat, or to the parks or
theatres or to see the flying con-
test. The attractions were all
good. The flying contest added
spice by killing two aviators.
Nearly all visited Lincoln Park.
a remarkable place in the suburb
- Ahn rtt. UnAA -. a. Ia 49,.
100 animals in captivity, green
houses, museum, etc. The animals
include n very large and varied
collection from elephants to mice.
This in itself is quite n show.
The collection of birds is remark
able and one reaches the conclus-
ion that II would be next too i'm
possible to invent anything not
shown, as they are there In all
shapes. colors and sizes and with
every freak imaginable, such as
beaks four times as large ms the
bird itself to the little bird with a
tail about ten times as long as It's
self. A visit to Chicago is incom-
plete without a visit to this park.
There r other interesting parks
also.
Chicago Is said to lead the
world In the printing industry and
the editor was anxious to c the
latest machinery and we were
more than surprised ut the won
derful recent inventions In print
ing, electrotyping and type cast
ing. Machinery which was a mar
vel ten years ago, or even two
years ago Is already obsolete and
In some case ready to be dumped.
The printer who had $4,000
Miehle book press five years ago
would talk OF II with pride. To-
day the same work Is done on a
new rotary-printing and folding
the finest paper-costing $4,000 a
piece and doing the work OF many
of the old style at speed not
dreamed OF three years ago. We
visited the largest plants and
found remarkable progress every
where. The Hall Printing CO., for
instance, which was printing the
big Montgomery Ward & Co. cata-
logues, has $500 employees.
A type casting machine which
We installed two years ago, has
been succeeded by a later inven-
ton which enables the new ma
chine to triple it's capacity. This
machine was the latest invention
two years ago. Our trip was
made especially to see the new
machine and we decided to add
two OF them to our equipment In
Marshall as soon as we get few
dollars. ahead-it will take only
$4,000, SO we hope to do Il sooni
Other inventions In our line were
equally important but our readers
would grow tired to hear OF them.
Having a sister attending Moody
Institute, we visited the place and
got another surprise. This great
Bible Training School was estab-
lished by ID. s. Moody and 10 inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL. At present there
are 500 students there preparing
as missionaries or evangelists. The
buildings are large and modern,
but II would take too long to give
a description OF them or OF the diff
ferent departments of the work.
The institution means much to
Chicago and the world at large an
its influence is great. The students
go out over the city at regular
times to preach and sing and help
along In other ways, at the same
time getting practice In their
work.
Early Sunday morning we went
out to Evanston to visit an aunt
