thinner and longer than when it went
into the machine.
The action of the next two machines
through which the fiber passes is still
further to break up the 9ber into
smaller and smaller ribbons until at
last each ribbon begins to lock quite
slender, as it runs out of the machine
into revolving cans. These slender rib
bons are called "slivers" by the work
men.
The spinning room is won1erful
sight, with it's long rows of spindles,
two at a machine, working horizontal
ly, but controlled by belts from above.
AS the fiber, or ''sliver," in parallel
rows. races into the spinning machines,
it is caught between two little "
shaped nippers, corresponding to the
TIPS of the fingers of hand engaged
in spinning the old-fashioned way. The
regularity Of these nippers is that they
can be adjusted to give just enough
twist to the Irvine and no more. II
by any chance they are worked at
TOO great tension, they will put too
many twists to the foot, and forever
after that Irvine will "kirk" which we
all know is bad thing in Irvine or
rope.
A kink in a piece of binding Irvine
NAV cause the farmer to stop in the
middle of his field, get down, and try
to adjust the great harveste', when,
after all, it is really the fault of that
little piece of Irvine. Hence, although
there are from 1000 to 1900 spind+es
making Irvine in the factories of which
we speak, 1t is necessary to tag every
bobbin Of spun Irvine as it comes from
the spindles so as to make it possible
TO locate the source of any defect that
may be found.
Having been spun, the Irvine Is
drawn off from the spindles on big
machines, not unlike in general shape
the bobbins on sewing machine. Each
bobbin is weighed and then a whole
truckload of bobbins is taken to
baIing room. Here many young wom-
On are at work, each placing bobbin
ON a steel rod of machine, and wrap
ping one end of the Irvine around an
other steel rod beneath it. Then a
busy apparatus called the flyer pro-
ceeds to wrap the Irvine around this
latter steel rod faster than the eye
can follow. until, like magic. the ball
of Irvine begins to make its appear

reaches the right weight-fve pounds
or eight pounds as the case may be-
suddenly the machine stops of its own
accord, and the task is accomplished.

the all-important fiber from which
twine is made.
The fiber which comes from the
decorticator is carried into the drying
yards and is spread on galvanized wire
where it dries and bleaches in the sun.
After this 1t is gathered and taken
into the warehouse where it is pressed
into bales in the same form in which
it finally reaches the mills. From
Yucatan the bales are conveyed by
boat across the Gulf OF Mexico to New
Orleans, Mobile, or some port in Texas.
From these points 1t Is transshipped
up the Mississippi river to Cairo, at
the southern tip Of Illinois, but comes
into Chicago aboard of railway trains.
The trains bearing the sisal fiber
bales unload directly in the factory, at
the rate Of 800 to 900 bales a day, or
more, and we see great heaps Of these
fiber plants piled up in the storage
room. They are taken, as needed, to
the opening department, where men
split them up and release the closely
packed fiber, mixing together, various
grades of hemp to be put through a
spreading machine" to further pre-
pare it. After inspection, sorting and
spreading, the fiber is put into big box
trucks and trundled away to be pre-
pared for spinning into twine.
AS the best Irvine is made of a ming
ling Of coarse with thin fiber, each
man has four bales to work from,
graded to give the desired thickness
and texture. On the first machine en-
ployed. a combing machine, there is a
scale and as the fiber passes through
it, at intervals a bell rings indicat-
ing a certain weight per foot for that
particular lot of fiber. The appropri-
ateness of the name "combing ma
chine" in connection with the fiber is
apparent to the eye of the most I'M
Initiated The long ribbons Of fiber as
they pass into the machine look like
nothing so much as hair. Long, lux
uriant, it is coarse hair, with slight
wave in it, due to the compression of
the bales. The difference between
combing fiber for Irvine and combing
ones head is that in addition to sep
arating it into parallel lines and
Strengthening out tangles, the fiber
combing machine pulls it out to a
greater length.
This pulling or drawing out of the
fiber is accomplished by combing it
with revolving cylinders, armed with
teeth. Some of the cylinders revolve
faster than others, so that the layers
which they pull will necessarily be
pulled out farther than the first ones,
and the whole mass of fiber will be

THAT Tanlac is wonderful med
Il icine for delicate children is con-
clusively proven by the remarkable
results accomplished in the cases of
the three children shown in this pic
tpre.
Little Blanche Blair, of Providence,
r. l., age 49, gained 10 pounds; Re-
gina McCabe, at right, age 8, OF
Scranton, Pa, gained 10 pounds; lit
tie Richard Leary, Jr., of Philadelphia,
who was very delicate, is now in fine,
robust health. The statements made
by their parents are as follows:
, Mr.. A. M. Blair, residing at 20 At
wood street, Providence, Il. l., said !:
"We are just so happy over the
change Tanlac has made in our little
girl that we can't do or say enough
to show our appreciation. She had
lost nearly 20 pounds in weight and
looked so fraH and weak that her
mother and were both almost wor-
ried sick over her condition. Since
taking Tanlac, she has already gained
10 pounds, her color is better than 1t
ever has been and she looks and acts
like a different girl"
Mrs. Catherine McCabe, Ala Dick
ems Ave-, Scranton, Pa said: 1.-The
flu left my little Regina in such a
bad condition that / have no idea she
would be with me now if it hadn't
been for Tanlac. 1t is a mystery to
me how she lived on the little she
was eating and was so lifeless she
never even cared to play with the
dolls and toys she got, at Christmas
Since taking Tanlac she is as hardy
and well as any child could be and
has gained 10 pounds in weight. l
will always praise Tanlac for restor-
ing our little girls health"
Richard Leary, 2342 Palethorpe ST.,
Philadelphia, said: "There is no
doubt in my mind but that Tanlac
saved my little boys life. For two
years I wouldn't have been asbiHsur-
prised to have seen him drop off at
any time. He had stomach trouble
and many a time the gas pressed up

THE CHAUTAUQUA IN
LAMOILLE COUNTY

Lamoille county has been over
run with Chautauqua shows the past
Morrisville, Stowe and Hyde
Park each had a series of these enter
tainments at practically the same
time, and as a result the several
guarantors have been obliged to "dig
down" in order to square up with the
arrangements. -~'I'.
We believe in Chautauquas. They
are good thing for any community,
as through them are brought enter
tainments, amusing and instructive,
of high order and of class that
cannot otherwise be brought to our
doors and which ordinarily to be seen
necessitates going to the city. Along
with them comes the Junior" Chau-
tauquas; and who is there who will
say that these are not of great benefit
to the young folks? So we say the
Chautauquas are good thing and in
many ways brings about good results
and leave a healthy atmosphere
wherever shown. May the day be
far distant Wien this class of enter
tainment is "tabooed."
However, it is a fact which has
been dearly shown, that several Chau-
tauquas crowded in together in
together in neighboring towns are in
variably a loss financially to local
people. So to retain these beneficial
entertainments and put an end to
this everlastingly coughing up" it
is suggested that there be a get
ting together" that sin union there
is strength" and that instead of one
town going alone that there be a
union of the towns of Morristown,
Stowe, Hyde Park and Johnson, these
alternating. Such a move would
guarantee financial success and
ensure getting the best Chautauquas
possible.
Another suggestion, and we think
it a good one, is to hold the Chau-
tauqua on the Fair Grounds, which
are centrally located and would be
easy of access from all parts of the
county. This does not mean that
Morristown control the affair, but
that the towns mentioned go in
jointly and jointly bear the burden,
which would be no burden if so done.
Let us have the Chautauquas, but
do not put in three or four where
one good one would be a success.
