SHOP f.
Paddy.

Pat, the machinist in the shop, says
there is no use cussing the machines as they
will break down just the same.
Two of the spinning machines were
taken out of the shop to get dolled up for
the State Fair, and the Baby Nipper went
along too.
Superintendent Williams is thinking OF
inventing pair of clamps that will hold
Cowboy Bob, on that cow until after he
gets her broke in SO that she won't run
away.
Mickie says he thinks he could fill the
bill of running the Irvine machines at the
State Fair if given the chance. Officer Bar
ron thinks about the only thing Mickie
would run, would be his hand in somebody
pocket, if he did go down.
Two more of the Irvine machine nippers
invented by Supt. Williams, were put on
machines this week, and are being given
a try out on pure manila stock, and do fine
work. In fact the trouble about the ma
chimes, in getting choked up and breaking
down, as they do very often when manu-
featuring manila stock, when using the old
nippers, is all done away with and the
machines run steadily and turn out better
grade of Irvine with the new nipper.

THAT FIELD DAY

Everything is looking fine for the Field
Day program. Most of the men are taking
a lively interest in the success of the ven
ture and it is to be hoped that all will do
their level best to make it winner.
There is every likelihood of more events
being added to the program, although as
she stands, it will be no small affair. The
prizes have not been decided on as yet, but
you can bet your last nickle that they will
be worth trying for.
A wireless was received at the Mirror
Office from the weather man, saying thar
he would do his best to have the rain,
scheduled for that day, postponed until in
the afternoon, provided that not more
than 500 of the inmates entered into the
pie eating contest. Eli! Sure, it should
be blueberry pie, with heap of juice.
Tried to get House Steward Doyle to
furnish ice cream and have an ice cream
eating contest. Nothing doing. Wanted
to know if we thought we were going to

mas celebration all in one.
But laying all jokes aside, let us all en-
ter into the sports with the intention of
making the day success, or know the
reasons why.

When the big door swings outward for
US, lets remember there is only one golden
rule.
1,O34, 900 blank tags were received the
other day. Wonder who is going to verify
the count?
That must be some corn that's growing
in the adjacent field. The tassels are just
peeping over the west wall.
No, none of the Irvine comes back in the
bread, it only helps convey the "makings'
along its route to the oven.

low-dOwn a man is, there's white spot in
him if you know how to locate it. rob

That mathematical puzzle still worries
some of the boys; why not try this one:
How cold is it when it is twice as cold as
two degrees below zero?
One would get the impression that
Assistant Superintendent Gurley had been
brought up in this factory, judging by
the way he takes hold of things in general.
1t is repetition of the old story, to tell
you that more cars of fibre have been re-
ceived. Hardly day passes but what the
railroad company sets in from one to half
dozen cars.
An average of one bale of Irvine (ten
balls) passes from the factory to the ware
house every thirty seconds. The output
is running little over sixty thousand
pounds of finished Irvine per day.

THE new BUILDINGS

The construction of the new buildings
hereabouts is going along in fine shape.
The excavation work on those inside the
walls is almost completed and in few
days all of the work will be turned over to
the contractor to finish.
To those who are not in a position to
watch this work progress, it may seem as
though things were not moving very
swiftly. Let your mind rest easy on this
fact. Erecting buildings the size of the
Farm Machinery factory and Foundry is
some job and the amount of material to be
used is enormous. -
The building has to be practically
erected twice. The carpenters must build
the concrete forms and place the spirals be-
fore the concrete can be poured. Then
there are numerous other details to look
after.
Practically all of the steel reinforcements
have been received, although there is still a
lot of building steel yet to come. There
has been used within the past ten days
seventeen car loads of crushed rock and
four car loads of cement, and the founda-
ton and abutments have used it all.
