Somewhere in the distance
Is man whom ! revere,
And my thoughts with strange per

Picture him in outlines clear;
He's the man who holds my seheming
For the future in control;
He's the object Of my dreaming.
He's the man who digs the coal.
Will the rusty radiator
Give its old, familiar thumpf
Will the price keep growing greater.
For carboniferons lumpf
Will the subterrsnean treasure
In my empty cellar rollf
He's my hope Of peace and pleasure.
He's the man who digs the. cod.

National Wrapping Machine Co.

Your correspondent had the pleas
ure recently of inspecting the plant
Of the National Wrapping Machine
company.
This company located at Newport
last fall through the efforts of the
Newport Board of Trade.
The Reed property and machinery
were purchased and then began the
work of readjustment and fitting the
building to the needs of the new
business. This is still being done as
fast as possible. The building has
been sheathed with wall board. New
and commodious offices are being con-
structed, the old machinery repaired
and augmented by new machines. A
steam heating plant has been Install
ed and now the plant is assuming a
condition for adequately handling the
business, which is bound to grow.
The product of the company is a
machine which automatically wraps
small articles, particularly candy.
The machines vary in price from $500
up. We were shown one costing $3.50
which wrapped for us candy kisses
and was very interesting to watch.
This machine was ready for shipment
to New Orleans.
We learned that this company's
product has been placed in various
cities in the U. S. from New York to
San Francisco, in Canada and En-
gland Orders are now on file for a
number of machines that owing to the
reconstruction they have been unable
to fill.
This industry is in it's embryo state
in Newport and requires encourage
ment by the city, also patience that
it may demonstrate it's stability and
productiveness when the reconstruct
ton problems are overcome.
We were escorted through the plant
by the genial president, A. A. DeGol-
yer, and the workings explained to US.
We doubt if the people of Newport
realize what this business means to

Baptist Church Rebuilt.

The First Baptist Church of New
port celebrated it's Tooth anniversary
last year by beginning the work of
re-constructing the edifce which is
located on Second street, having been
moved there from the Lake road dis
trict about 70 years ago.
The present building is the result
of raising the former about two feet
and adding % feet to the rear, and a
basement under the whole. The ex-
terror of the building was changed
very little, the idea being to retain
the early church and continue the
colonial effect to the interior.
On the first floor are the vestry,
class rooms, committee room and the
kitchen, entered at the front through
the vestibule, which has a beamed
ceiling effect with f1uted columns and
white-paneled wainscoting. These
rooms are finished in cypress. A red
brick fireplace in one corner of the
committee room adds to the homelike
appearance. This room and the
class rooms are connected with the
dining room by means of folding
doors.
The auditorium is on the second
floor and has a high beamed ceiling
divided into large panels. A heavy
fiat arch over the pulpit is supported
by four large Ionic columns with pi-
lasters against the wall to match.
This room is furnished in mahog-
any and white woodwork and fur
nished with mahogany pews and fur
niture.
The room is lighted by semi-in-
direct electric lights one in the center
of each panel.
The rostrum with the altar in the
front has on either side, space which
may be used for choir chorus or adj
ditional seats. Back of this space
are high panels enclosing a class
room on one side and the baptistry on
the other.
In the center is the beautiful pipe
organ, a memorial gift of Mrs. Benz
Human, in memory of her mother,
who was one of the early staunch
supporters of this church.
The first service was held Easter
Sunday.
The public were invited Friday
night to a recital on the new memoir
ial organ by A. H. Brooks of st.
Johnsbury. Mrs. G. A. Brown sang
and George w. Hamilton rendered
selections on the violin.
The formal dedicatory services be-
gan Sunday, April 7th, with evangel-
istic services which will continue un-
til April 21st.

MORE CORN ACREAGE
WITH LESS LABOR
The Binder in the cornfield

In the early days of the packing in
dustry, animals were slaughtered fc-
their meat and hides alone. No use
was made of the bones, hair, intestiDcs,
ETC., all of which now pay q profit oil
their own. Little by little the packers
| learned to make use of things formerly
wasted, until today beef would actually
for the profit from the by-products.
| Learning to make use of the by
| products Is one of the secrets Of sue
cessful farming. Thus the silo and
shredder have made it possible for the
farmer to get the food value out of the
stalks and leaves of corn, while for
merly he made use of the ears only.
This feature has increased the acreage
of corn with the result that new
methods Of cutting have had to be
devised.
Just as the grain binder has made
possible the raising of flargefquantities
, the farmer means of harvesting large
. areas of corn and has reduced the
cost of this work proportionately.
Where the farmer once found 1t very
difficult to go into field of corn on q
damp morning, when the corn stalks
were toughened by dew, to cut corn
with a corn knife, he can now cut
from sun-up to sun-down with corn
binder, regardless of the condition of
the stalks. q
Where one man formerly cut one
acre per day with a corn knife, one
man on corn binder finds it very easy
to cut five to seven acres per day, and
he leaves the corn in better condition.
Every farmer who has raised corn
knows the difficulty of cutting 1t by
hand when Ii is down, but the corn
binder raises Jhe down stalks without
breaking off the ears and cuts them as
evenly as when they stand straight,
binding tho bundles with equal secur-
ity. Corn cut in this way can be load
ed directly upon 4 wagon, either by
hand or by means OF an elevator, and
hauled to the ensilage cutter, or 1T can
be shockedln the iield dtoawaithusking.
Aside from the greater acreage of
corn which the corn binder makes pos
sible and the much-increased speed
with which III can be harvested, the
saving Of labor is one of the most i'm
portanb features. In these days when
labor is one of the critical problems
the farm sr has to solve, every machine
that rec uces the number of men re-
CURED n the farm is doing more to
help the cause of bigger crops than
any number of triaing suggestions for
increasing them by intensive farming.
Corn is possibly now second In import
ance among the crops to wheat, for
corn is our lnainstay in the production
OF stock as well as a most important |
substitute for the more valuable small |
grains.
