THE LINOTYPE

The linotype is q wonderful ma
chine. 1t was invented by Otto Mer-
genthaler (not an ally) who after

purchasers have suffered .hemorrhag-
es from the consumption of raw ma
terial and supplies by the invention
since then. 1t Is a mixture OF a type
writer and an old carpet loom. The
engineer In charge Is called an oper-
ator. He operates mostly on the pay
roll and upkeep column. He en-
cumbers a chair near the floor at the
front, and plays with nimble fingers
on the keys when the letters run"
nicely. This kicks the mats out Of
bed and rolls them down stairs to
the basement where they left dress

operator sets his paw on a lever and
the assembled line is taken up stairs
on an elevator and showed across the
han and down on another elevator to
the bathroom. Here they are given
a shower bath from q pot Of melted
metal and then pulled out and
dragged upstairs where they are
hung out OF the line to dry and drop
and await the next draft.
Sometimes the operator strikes
the wrong key or letter, but he never
knows the difference until his wife
reads 1t to him out Of the paper. 1t

STOCK SHIPMENTS

n a. A weli-known fact hat the

This means that for every man.

These figures are compiled from
the shipments made on the railroads

stock shipped from outside points to
which the animals are driven from
the outside range.
There we're 1000 600 pounds OF

1t is true that many of the cattle
shipped out, and this will include a
great majority r unloaded at feed
ing points to be fattened for the mar
ket. Some Of the stockmen are ship
ming their cattle to outside points to
feed until Spring. Due to the fact
that the hay crop was short this year,
and owing to the poor range condi-
ton it was necessary to bring the
cattle in earlier than usual, and this
means a longer feeding season.

Schmidt, who is in the employ of Albert Murphy at OrangeWood, came into the loan committees headquarters yesterday afternoon and announced that he wished to buy one of the last Liberty loan bonds and hoped to be able to purchase another one soon He paid for the bond in full and will be given the first of the bonds allotted to Maricopa county. Schmidt said that he had purchased several of the bonds of the recent issues and thought that lt was the duty of all honest Americans to buy as many of them as possible.
 The plans of the committee in charge of the new loan are rapidly nearing completion and everyone at their head duartefs, who are in touch with the situation, are very confident that this issue will be oyersubscribed and state that it is only a question of the public being well informed and given an op- portunity to participate.
 [. E. Balsley, director of sales for inc Standard Oil company who has temporarily given up his position to serve as city chairman of the loan committee, has added D. c. Wilson, cashier for the Standard oil, and E. J. Alyer, advertising manager for that concern, to his staff, thereby assuring the committee of the greatest possible efficiency in handling the situation in the Phoenix field.
