Communication.

Boston, Mass, June 13, 1912.
Editor Watertown Leader:
| notice in a recent issue OF your
valuable paper that a few citizens OF
watertoWn were considering the
locating of a malleable IRON foundry
in that city. Permit me to say few
words, if it may be in order:
| am sure this would prove to be a
wise and profitable undertaking and
would result in very material benett
to Watertown and her people.
At present | am in the east on a
similar mission. | still call Water
town my home although living here
in Boston since last July, and expect
to move back to Gods country in the
near future. Since coming here, l
have driven an automobile over 1000
miles on the highways of Massachu-
sets, Conn, Rhode Island and New
Hampshire, and it has been con-
stant source Of wonder to me how the
early forefathers managed to keep
soul and body together. Every little
patch of land that has been cleared
of stone is one solid mat of quack-
grass excepting here and there where
some wealthy city farmer has by the
use of barrel of money restored the
soil TO some semblance of cultivation.
| can start out of Boston and make a
hundred nile drive and not see as
many egg producers as there are be-
tween my farm and Van Camps.
The reason you will be surprised to
know is, that they haven't got soil
enough to grow the feed for them and
any farmer will tell you that you can
not produce eggs or any other food
product on scenery and salt air.
But to get back to the malleable iron
foundry, / should like to suggest that
a drop forge shop be considered W n
a malleable foundry, as the two lines
rather run hand IN hand and often a
prospective customers for malleable
iron is in the market for drop forgings
also.
The automobile manufacturers are
enormous users of both and are con
stantly on the lookout for new sources
of output where a cheaper and better
article may be obtained. The rail
saads are large users of malleable
castings and forgings pipe fittings fol
steam. gas and water are to be con
sidered, and from an experience GOV
ering several years l have still to se'
the time when they were not IN de
rnand.
Watertown affords an ideal location
for any manufacturing plant, due u
her position in ishe very midst OF
most fertile country, thus being aDl'
to both house and feed her worker
without having TO import the most com
mon of our foods. Such is not the cas-
here in New England and the TACT
are, that due 20 the high cost OF nV
ing and high prices of raw material
manufacturing is fast taking wing
cor the middle west. You will attrac

pupils on the happy results achieved
He then read the results of their work
which were from examinations made
out by Superintendent Berto of the
public schools. He stated That the
lowest general average was ninety and
seven-eighths, and that the highest
was ninety-eight and one-half the lat
ter being attained by Florence Car
mody. He stated that this was some
thing to be proud of and that such
high averages were not attained by
any school in the city or state. Di-
plomas were then conferred on the
following graduates: Ruth McFar-
land, Florence Carmody, Johanna Ka-
minski, Maud Carey, Irene Heon, Ma
rie Butler, Evelyn Moore, Florence

George Reason, 213 Montgomery

cancer on one of the large intestines
which has caused him much suffering
for long time. The cancer is so
large that it cannot be removed with

remove it, His relatives and friends
are alarmed as to his condition.

Canning Factory AQdin.

The canning factory project in this
city it seems is now an assured fact,
it hang been decided at a meeting
perfect arrangements, erect and equip
the necessary buildings and be ready
next year to begin operations. The
capital stock of $4,000 has been sub
scribed and those interested are de-
termlned to push the enterprise. A
factory of the character contemplated
would be a great thing for the farm
ers living with a radius of fifteen
miles of Watertown. Peas is crop
easily raised, never a failure, and
always command good price.

The Butter Question.

Sealer of Weig IS and Measures
Edward Gnatzig last week probed the
butter matter and found that most OF
the butter sold in the city was short
weight from an half ounce to an ounce
in each pound. The retail dealers are
not to blame, for they buy it from the
creameries and pay for it as full
weight. The only butter that was up
to the standard was that made by the
Jahnke Creamery in this city.
