Exciting Races at Glover

Many Barton people went to Glover
last Saturday afternoon to attend
the horse races in which one of our
local horses took part. These races
have been taking place Saturday af-
ternoons of each week at Glover and
have been very interesting and have
furnished the fans with some real
good sport. In last Saturdays races,
the horse owned by George Drew, a
horse that has seldom known defeat,
was beaten in three straight heats
by horse owned and driven by Bert
j. Jenness of Barton. This has been,
So far, the best race of the season.
Another race that proved to be very
interesting was contest between a
horse owned and driven by H. H.
Skinner of West Glover and one own
ed by Alex Dwyer of Wheelock and
driven by Jess Christie of Glover. Mr..
Christie showed exceptional skill in
the ribbons and succeeded in
putting his. steed across in straight
heats in remarkably fast time.
The town of Glover is to be con-
graduated in being able to maintain
an excellent speedway for winter rae
es and to furnish so many good horses
to compete with horses from outside
towns. Let US hope that these week
ly. meetings will be encouraged and
stimulated by the presence and par
ticipation of all those owning fast
horses. Let them come out even if
thew know they are doomed to de-
feat. Another feature of last Sat
I1rday's races was that three of the
best contesting horses were owned
and driven bv rural carriers. which
goes to show that Uncle Sam has the
speed to deliver the goods.

Everyone who has visited the plant
at intervals during its erection is I'M
pressed with the Cnorougnness with
wnlcn every move has peen maze.
From foundation to roof every one OF
the three brick buildings are built Of
the hnest materials and in the most
dependable manner. The founda-
tlons go down to bed rock, the brick
walls are very thick, in some places
being 32-inch wall, floor timbers are
very neavy and four-inch flooring is
used. The first story floor is OF the
finest cement finish and the roof IS
the best, laid of three phys of roof
covered with tar and gravel.
The pen stock which runs the water
wheel for the saw mill has given some
trouble but this has been put in shape
now and the saw mill is in operation.
A very large stock of logs is being
gotten in and everything points TO
the opening of the plant in the early
spring and a thriving industry be-
gun in Barton.
The original investment of $780,
600 estimated for the local plant of
VESSEL, Nickle & Gross, the largest
manufacturers of piano actions in the
country, is nearer 100000 than $780,
600, and with the purchase of timber
land this concerns investment is said
to be nearing the quarter million dol
lars mark.

1t has been known for years that
Mr.. Webster was deeply interested
in having a library building in Bar
ton and this bequest to the Woman's
Literary Club, which already has
about $1,000 toward building,
makes the erection of such building
possible in the not far distant fu-
ture.
