Clayton Jones of the Granite City
garage returned last night from
three day hunting trip in the vicinity
of Niggerhead pond in Marshheld. Ae-
eording to Mr.. Jones, there n plenty
of interest for the hunters in this
section. One day there were 10 deer
killed within radius Of two miles.
This would seem to indicate that the
deer had begun to yard when the hunt
ing season opened.

Charles A. Brown of the Brown &
Demerell Granite company luckless-
ly stepped through the door leading 10
the granite shed when a piece of steel
flew from a bull-set hammer yester-
day, the steel striking his right eye
for a rather bad injury. That the
bit of steel did not hit, the pupil OF
the eve was fortunate, for just such
missiles have cost the sight of many
graniteeutters in Barre and vicinity
during the past few years. Some men
account for the increased eve fatal
ties in a poorer grade of steel, grade
inferior to that supplied the granite
workers befors the war.
During this period of depression and
uncertain business granite manufae-
turers of the south end find it mat
ter of great expense to operate large
air compressors, which ordinarily sup
plv the demands of the entire working
force. when there are but few OF
the granite cutters employed. To di-
minish the costs of manufacture I'M
der the present conditions some OF the
firms in close proximity are consider
ing a consolidation under one large
compressor, thereby enabling prodlc-
ton at less cost The matter of con
Meeting lines OF pipe from one shed
to the other would be a comparatively
slight task and quite inexpensive, and
il is this matter that they are con
sidering at the present time. Other
firms in other parts of the city will
probably follow suit on this scheme.
