L Tama, Oct. 30.-When all the en-
ployes of the J. G. Cherry Company, in
their big paper mill and egg case filler
factory here, were asked to report at
the office Sunday morning they were
happily surprised. Herbert G. Cherry
announced that every employee would
receive an increase in his pay check
from this time on, amounting to some
thing over 10 per cent advance. Mr..
Cherry explained that this was not
done entirely because of the higher
cost of living but more because of the
nigh efficiency of the force.
The paper mill is now turning out
over twenty-five tons of finished straw
board daily and this is also made into
egg case filters. One machine, which Is
the invention and product of the local
superintendent, ]. e. Carter. takes the
straw board and makes it into double
locked egg case filters at the rate of
200 per minute. In other words, enough
raw straw is taken into this factory,
cooked and made into straw board and
passed on into this machine where 1t
is made into enough finished egg case
filters, every day, that it will require
100000 eggs to fill.
First Year For Cherrys.
This paper mill has been running
one year since it was purchased and
entirely rebuilt by the J. G. Cherry
Company, Of Cedar Rapids. and it will
be surprise to many to know of the
magnitude of the business. Herbert
Cherry has moved to Tama and pur-
chased the former Brockhausen home.
which is the most beautiful and costly
residence in Tama county. He has
taken over the active and personal
charge of the company's business at
this point. He was one Of Cedar Rap

voluntarily increasing the wages of his
