INDUSTRIAL
FAIRMONF

The foundry equipment of the Amer
lean Valve and Tank Factory is be-
ing tested and the men familarized
with the work in preparation for the
actual manufacturing operations
which are expected to begin Monday.
Over two thousand pounds Of metal
were poured yesterday and the work
was continued today. A number of
casts we're made, some for use in the
factory, and the sand, which is said
to be a trife too fresh for good work,
was cooked and gotten into better
condition. The Office force Of the
company is at present occupying a
room in the factory building but 1t
is thought that by the first Of the
week the suite of rooms in the other
building will be ready fer occupancy
and the office force will then move
to the permanent location. The office
rooms are large, we'll lighted, attrac.
lively finished and are we'll arranged.
Machinery is being installed in the
machine shop and in the finishing
room and it is hoped to have this
part Of the plant in operation within
thirty days after the foundry work
is started.

.Three Good Ones At Nelson,

Beyond the glamor Of the footlights
the life of vaudeville actors is unro,
mantle enough. What many people
think Is a pair Of loving turtledoves
pursuing a Livelihood together in the
same profession, is Just as often a
cold.blooded partnership, the mem.
bers of which never see each other
save for the few moments they are to-
gether on the stage.
All the subtlety of such a situation
Is revelled in by o. Henry in his story
strictly Business" which is showing
at the Nelson today He makes of it
an intense drama with the ever pres
ent o. Henry surprise finish.
''Petes Pants" another Ben Turpin
scream is also on the Nelson program
today. In an encounter with pants
he gets them seriously mussed, and
his wife makes It interesting for him
thereafter. Two tramps have impor-
tant roles. escaping from jail and
breaking into a swell society function
where they redeem themselves by
preventing a jewel robbery, They
finally have all the luck, and Pete all
the woe. Ben Turpin, Harry Todd,
Victor Potel and Margaret Joslin are
featured in the play.
Besides these two excellent attract
ions, there is also sparkle comedy
called Fresh Air"

feature photoplay called THE Flying
Torpedo" in which John Emerson
starred and in which Bessie Love first
