such a lot OF racket you never heard.
The papers are first put through
the printing press. 1t is certainly
done rapidly compared to olden days.
The paper is printed just about as
fast as one man can feed the paper
into the press. When it has gone
over the type it comes out at the 9TH
err side of the press and something
which resembles a fork lays it down
on the pile with the rest of the papers.
Then there is another man who takes
the papers and puts them one by one
into a machine that folds the papers.
At first a large lever down and
folds the sheet in the center and at
the same time pushing it down a lit
tie farther. Here another lever folds
it across the other way and so on
until the paper looks just as we re-
ceive it.
When we got out of the basement
they gave us a present which was a
metal slug or stamp with u name on
it. l am going to use my slug to sign
this article.
Printing was first invented by a
German named Gutenberg but many
improvements have been made since
then. One invention which has great
ly aided printing is the Linotype which
was invented by M~ergenthaler in
1883. 1t is so called because it
sets up a line of type. 1t was a
very bothersome thing to Mergen-
thaler to get the spacing, but this
mystery was first solved by John R.
Rogers.
His invention was some small
wedges which come down at the end
. of each word and thus makes the
space. If you will notice very closely
you can see that the spaces are not
all the some length at times in g
newspaper.-Florence Olson.
, The most noticeable thing about the
press was the big round roller aroun
| which the paper went while a fla
r sheet of lead with the type on it wen
5 back and forth printing the paper.

2 much the shape of Franklin's print
