In the Important Prevention Work.
 Health officials and officers of tho of the town and borOugh's quarantine regulations had their hands full Tuesday in endeavors to keep tabs on steam and trolley road traffic, watch ing automobiles and canvassing houses in anendeavor to locate out of town childre thunder 16 years of age coming here or already arrived and located with relatives and friends. A few in coming young young people were turned back. Some strangers with children were inclined to become irri- tated over the officers questions to them and one or two rather unpleasant incidents arose in connection with the enforcement of the quarantine reguIa- tions, which is being taken with good grace, however, by the majority. who realize that conditions have been such in this town that it has been an in viting field for children from the en- fdenic scourged districts of New York. Some local people too have been ip- clined to fUme and criticize over the regulations put in force, but these are in the minority. Threats of defiance of the quarantine regulations are cooIy met by some health officials by calling attention to the fact that violation of quarantine regulations may be punish ed, under the statutes, by fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500. The health officials are no more anxious for the irksone and bothersome task

Mimic. N. d. Pioneer is Called.

The Mimic Journal publishes the
obituary Of John >McGlinch, the ia
ther Of Mrs. 0. H. Taralseth, of this
city, who died on Aug. %, after a
lingering illness from Bright dis
ease. The following account is given
Of his life:
John McGlinch was born in Truro,
Nova Scotia, Aug. 27, 1851. He
went to London, Ont, when young
and there spent his younger man
hood. He was married to Jane Gum
of St. Thomas, Ontario, in 1876, and
three years later left with his young
wife for this Red River Valley, then
just being settled. It was in 1879
that he reached Turtle River, in
Grand Forks county, and there he re-
manned until the summer of 1881,
when Mimic first took it's place upon
the map, and it was he who was
among the very first to build a home
where now our little city stands,
hauling lumber by team from Grand
Forks, and what he then builded is
still a portion of the home in which
he breathed his last, where he lived
the balance Of life's span and reared
splendid family, four girls all
grown to womanhood.
John McGlinch-or Judge" Nc
Glinch, as he was familiarly known,
he having for the past dozen or
more years filled the office of police
magistrate of this city was always
live and progressive citizen, ener-
getic in business and active end en-
thusiastic in any and all projects
that were for the advancement Of
the town and community. In connec-
tion with his city office he conducted
the business Of insurance loans and
collections. That he was held in
high regard by the citizens Of the
town is evidenced by his being so
long retained in the office he held.
Besides his wife, four daughters are
left. They arc: Mrs. O. H. Taral-
seth Of Warren, Minn., Mrs. T. K.
Taft of Cornwall-on-Hudson, N. Y,
and Misses Anna and Lila McGlinch.
There also one sister, Mrs. Belle
Reed of Toronto, Canada, end three
brothers, James, Of Ety., Minnesota,
Som, of River, Manitoba, and Angus
tus, of Truro, Nova Scotia.
The funeral was from the family
home on Friday afternoon, and was
conducted by Rev. Reinhardt, pastor
of Knox Presbyterian church and
was attended by many of his old
time friends and neighbors.

LINDSBORG, KANSAS, MOST

Boston? New York? Chicago? ;?
No, none of these, says the Woman's

''It is Lindsborg, ,Kas., country

symphony orchestra of sixty pieces,
which plays the same class of music
as the Boston Symphony and New

male chorus, children's chorus with
several hundred members, a musical

YARNS FROM PAPER
New Industries Spring Up as Re-
suit of War.
Factory in England Now Spins
Threads Fine Enough for Gas
Nantes and Strong Enough
to Tie Up Ship.

London.-London has, no doubt, add
ed many new industries to it's list
since the war began, but few, per-
haps, of greater Importance and fasci-
mating interest than that of paper spin
ming and weaving.
I have had the opportunity of see
ing some wonderful things in the way
of yarns and textiles manufactured
from paper pulp, and also of seeing a
demonstration plant at work spinning
threads of paper into Irvine fine
enough for gas nantes and strong
enough to hold a ship.
This wonderland is to be found in
Southwark and at the works of the
Textilite Engineering company, which
is now supplying British-made ma
chinery, made according to it's pat
ents, for the manufacture of every
kind of thing imaginable which for
merly was made of hemp and jute
and fax.
"The things you see around you,'
said Mr.. George Seaton Mills, the
managing director of the company,
''are new, and yet they are not new.
What I mean is that the people of
China, in the days of Confucius, prob
ably twisted strip of paper in the
fingers absent-mindedly and found it
had remarkable tensile strength, but
what we have done is to make that
idea into a practical proposition.
"The Germans, with their faculty
for imitation, have spun paper for
years, but they never could spin it
fast enough to make it pay. We now
have found means of spinning the pa
per four or five times faster than the
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1916-02-23

Germans and of producing the goods
four per cent cheaper"
Mr. Mills then showed me around
the works and demonstrated all the
processes, from the raw material,
which in this case is reel of fine
Canadian wood pulp, to the highly
finished fancy wall coverings in pat
tern and color.
The paper is first cut into strips ac-
cording to the width of yarn or rope
strand required, then twisted on
frames very similar to those used In
cotton or wooden manufacture, and
afterward, by means of spools of welt
and warp, the material is transferred
to looms which will weave anything,
plain or fancy, ribbed or patterned.
incidentally, the invention will
solve the great problem OF how to
make up the supply of packing string,
for paper is now proved to be capable
of carrying any reasonable weight.
