It was his first ambitious venture
in literature and Adrian Moore had
begun the reading Of his little screed
with fear and trembling. Then, as
he got into the soul of his subject, he
forgot self and was almost brilliant
in his delivery.
All his former tTepidatiOn returned,
however, as he came back to the
harsh realities with the last sentence
enUnCiated. It was a little skit of
pathOs, romance and description, the
result of a twO-weeks' vacation in
the cider country" downstate, just
as antique and crude in the present
as half century before.
He faced his critics now - they
were five. The chosen six" com

It's just a dash-off," observed
Moore almost apologeticaIly as he
sat down, and blunt Jerry GOwan,
who wrote loaded editorials, in his
usual unsympathetic way made the
comment:
Forget it.
Clyde Winston, who was allowed
to act as critic of second-rate books,

Georgetown Teeming
With Early-Day Hustle

The highhopes and expectations
manifest this spring in George
town are being realized with the
result that at the present time
business in Georgetown if far in
excess of what it has been for
many years. and prospects for a
renewal of early day activities are
very bright.
1t has been many years since a
condition of mo houses" has ex-
listed in Georgetown. which in
itself proves ample assurance that
there is something doing.
The heavy shipments from the
Argentine district still continue
and numerous new leases are be-
ing sought at the Santiago mine.
Every available space is full at the
local sampler from where record
shipments of both tonnage and
value are being made.
Bruce & Co. received $5l7 for
ten tons of concentrates, from
which the high percentage of gold
had been previously removed.
They have another large shipment
awaiting treatment.
Hamilton & Co. have a 25O-ton
lot going through the mill, and
have shipped 20 tons of smelling
ore which returned $75 per ton.
DeMasters e. Co. have shipment
of the same grade of ore ready for
transportation.
Holcombe & Co., Oklun Bros,
Pearson & johnson, Hanson q
Co., and Prouse & Co. are all in
ore, and Manager Bauman says
the mine is looking better now
than it has for the past ten years.
The parties who have leased the
Joe Raymond tunnel on Griffith
mountain have completed cleaning
the property and are now prepar-
ing for extensive developments.
Work continues on the Colora-
do Central, where machinery is be-
ing installed to handle the ores.
The Onondago company have
begun operations through the
Doric tunnel, where a large force
of men are working.
The demand for men during the
spring still continues and the pre-
sent time finds not one man who
is willing to work, idle around
town.

New York, Nov. 13.-Directors OF Re-

meet this week and indications are that
remaining back dividends on preferred
stock amounting to 4 per cent will be
paid OF. There have been rumors that
common stock would be placed on a
dividend basis at next meeting, but judg-
Ing from the makeup of the directorate
and the conservative policy the members
Of the board have pursued, no common
dividend is likely at the coming meeting.

with $451, 900 for the same period Of 1915

reported here. The inventor of the pro-
cess Is DR.. Thomas Jasperson, a physi-
clan Of this town. It Is reported that a
mill Is being built In Chicago where old
newspapers will be converted into new
stock.
The test was made In a mill at Kala-

the process Is even whittier than the orig
inal paper. It Is said.
DR.. Jasperson. who has been practic-
ing physician and chemist here for twenty
years, has been working on his process
for four years. Six months ago he COM
pleted his labors and offered his idea to
some Of the Neenah paper mill owners.
They rejected 1t without a test.
Having faith in his invention. DR.. Jas

signed with a Kalamazoo mill. Through

into a beater or mixing machine and the
chemical is added. By this the ink is ex-
