HAS BIG SEASON
Local Mill Will Have Long Run
in Spite of UnfavOrable
Weather Conditions

The Amerlin Company which
owns and operates a number OF
flax mills in this section of the
state has had a very successful
season in spite of the adverse
weather conditions which pre-
vailed and the local mill is due
for long winter campaign in pre-
pairing the product for the linen
mills.
Mr.. w. j. Kenning, manager of
the local plant, informs the Re-
corder that they have the yield
from $50 acres grown in the vi
cinity of Deckerville in storage
here to which will be added the
product of 800 acres grown in the
vicinity of Watertown. This will
insure a long run for the local
mill which will employ from Is to
20 men all winter at wages rang
ing from $4.00 to 5000 per day.
The plant has just been equip
ped with steam heat and a new
dust collecting device will be in
stalled within a few days which
will add much to the comfort of
the workmen.
The company is advertising for
acreage for the 1920 season and
with the present prices of flax
they should have no difficulty in
securing all they require to keer
the local mills running steadily
throughout the fall and winter oi

Coming out of cafe late at
night, where they had taken sup

pounced upon by four men whom
they fought off after struggle
but not without receiving some
wounds and black and blue marks
upon their persons.
The battle was brief but busy

WHICH ARE YOU?

There are two kinds of people on
earth today,
Just two kinds of people, no more
say,
Not the sinner and saint, for 'tis
we'll understood,
The good are half bad and the bad
are half good.
Not the rich and the poor, for to
count a mans wealth
You must first know the state Of
his concience and health.
Not the humble and proud. for in
life's little span
Who puts on vain airs is not
counted a man.
Not the happy and sad, for the
swift flying years
Bring each man his laughter and
each man his tears.
No. The two kinds of people on
earth | mean
Are the people who lift and the
people who lean.
Where'er you go you will fine
the worlds masses
Are always divided in just these
two classes.
And oddly enough, you will find
too, | wean
There's only one litter to twenty
who lean.
In which class are you? Are yol
easing the load
Of overtaxed lifters who toi
down the road?
Or are you leaner, who let
others bear
Your portion of labor and worr
and care?

IS ENJOYED
BY A LARGE
AUDIENCE
Daddy" Given By the nj. Z. Choir
Monday Evening Was Full
of Mirth and PathOs

Under the auspices of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, the pretty
little comedy, Daddy" was CIV
en- on Monday evening at the Ad-
ditorium to a crowded house.
The three-act play was a de-
lightful story-bit of human life,
Daddy in the person of Sam Lud-
ington, being the affectionate
father of Will-o'-the-wisp Betty,
nicely taken by Faye Wight. Laura
Striffler was Mrs. Daddy" the
mother of Betty and Ted the latter
impersonated by Max Fead. Mrs.
Chester, in pursuit of i'll health,
was done in good form by Pauline
Fead. Jack Chester, her nephew,
in love with Betty was well taken
by Bernard Holcomb, while Ruth
Gregory took the part of maid.
The cast of characters was chos-
en- wisely and each performer was
at his or her best throughout
the play which came to the Gus
tomary happy ending.
The specialties were all charm
ing, "Toyland" perhaps leading in
preferenc when Rev. Mumby
pastor of the M. E church sang
to the happy children at play, but
all the specialties were artistical'
ly arranged and carried out with
decidedly good effect.
The orchestra music was also
fine and the song by Bernard
Holcomb and Sam Ludington made
a hit.

LET US BE THANKFUL

While troubles of one kind and
another come to us more or less,
there is always room for JOY and
gladness, always cause for these
which keep the heart young. In the
midst of our figuring in the battle
against high costs which comfort
men and women today, we aren't
q bit disheartened and intend to
have Thanksgiving day this year
quite the same as other years when
turkey and cranberries demanded
little cash.
There is a great deal to be thank
full for when one stops to reflect.
Like Robert Louis Stevenson we
can each rejoice in the privilege of
life and the opportunities it offers
and brings to as. We can be
thankful for the peace that has
come largely through efforts and
sacrifices of our brave American
lads, many of whom stood like
stone walls at Chateau Thiery and
the Argonne forest, little more
than a year ago. Yes, there are
very many good reasons for oul
thanksgiving.
Let's not forget buc be particu
larly thoughtful and thankful fol
our manifold blessings today
the day made sacred by our Pill
grim fathers.
