Summer Folks Own
Big New York
Cold Storage Plant

Henry l. Otman and Jack Otman
Of New York City, have returned
after a few days stay in this vicin-
ity, being at their cottage at Lake
Cobbossee. They were engaged in
wiring the place for electricity. They
have purchased the Woods place on
the east shore on Quaker Hill and
are planning to lay out a good deal
of expense in making the place one
of the lakes most attractive. The
Otmans are owners of a we'll estab-
lished cold storage plant in New
York City. About three weeks ago,
Game Warden Richard Upton was in
New York City and was shown
through the plant by Jack Otman.
Mr.. Upton arrived at the plant after
hours. 1t being past o'clock in the
afternoon. At the end of the work
day, each room in the huge place is
locked and sealed. But the rooms
were opened and he enjoyed a very
thorough trip through the building
He learned that on that day they
were preparing to send out hundreds
Of pounds of fowl for the steamer
trade and thousands of pounds of
beef for city trade. He saw there a
Maine deer that was frozen so hard
that a skewer driven at it with much
strength. could not make any dent.
The meat which is frozen, is sawed
by round saw. very much like that
used in saving wood. the meat being
sawed off in required junks When
the cold storage goods are to be
thawed out. they are passed through
several rooms with as many differ
ent degrees of temperature and thus
are gradually thawed out, losing
none of the goodness. One. room into
which Mr.. Upton was taken. was II
degrees below zero. He declared
that the chief thing which impressed
him about the entire plant. was
cleanliness.

Oddities Cleaned
from 30 Years in
Photography Business

1t was a stormy AFTERNOON anu the
reporter wandered into the studio OF
f. E. Howard, photographer. OF
course, the topic Of casual converse
ton turned to taking pictures. Mr.
Howard opened q drawer in q table
and began to pass out some Of the
pictures which had been laid by. time
to time, in his past 80 years expert
ence at taking human likenesses.
"a few years ago. it was q difficult
matter to get the young ladies to
pose naturally. They were 80 priin
and straight laced when they sat
down in the chair to be taken" ]
asked them to relax, to let the
shoulders rest on their hips. to smile
4 little bit, anything SO that they
would assume a natural attitude. In
those days. young ladies. referring to
a few years ago. were very demure
when they were out in public and 1t
was difficult to get them to pose for
good pictures. II you will notice the
pictures that have been taken q few
years back. you will not find any
laughing faces Of smiles. Everyone
looked very sober"
Then coming to the present day.
Mr.. Howard declared that 1t was not
difficult for the young ladies to strik =
a becoming pose before the camera.
"They Just settle into the chair In q
very natural pose. It Is easier to
catch their smiles" The allusion was
not made at this point, but the re-
porter could not help but think per-
haps the movies Of today have some
thing to do with the naturalness of
expression Of the younger set.
Women folk have always been par
ticular Of their looks, where picture
taking is concerned. Mr.. Howard re-
calls with smiles, q large mirror
which occupied one Of the walls Of
his studio at one time. In those days.
it was his custom to take one picture.
another plate and go through the
process again. until the desired num-
Der Of poses were taken. Every
time I came back from the dark
room. my lady subject would be
standing before that mirror. In those
days. it took longer time for lady
to get settled to picture. When she
sat down. she had to be arranged all
over. The dresses were full and made
that way. So Of course. q great deal
of time was taken up in re-arranging
the lady each time. So took that
mirror out Of the room in quick or.
der" q
Merely as matter OF experiment,
Mr.. Howard once took picture Of a
man in several poses, all on the same
plate. One pose was the man stand
ing beside Nhe table: another with
his head on the table, with himself
about to cut his own head Off; an
other with his head on q platter This
was done in several exposures and
took a great deal OF careful measur-
ing and posing.
Mr.. Howard has some very inter-
esting pictures Of local and State
wide interest.

When I saw the shadow" OF Flora
Finch in when Knighthood Was in
Flower" it brought back memories of
days long gone in movieland.
Flora Finch was. in the days Of
yesterday, leading funny woman" for
the late John Bunny. In those days
Miss Finch was not called a come
dienne, but just a funny woman"
John Bunny. with his several hun
bred pounds OF flesh. frolics no more
on the screen. He answered his last
summons years ago. Flora Finch has
come out Of retirement for little
while and she plays just a comic bit
in when Knighthood Was in
Flower"
She is cast as a giddy lady in wait
ing at the court of Louis XII. Of
France. Louis. the old rascal, think
ing he is young again, plays blind
mans buff with the fair ladies of his
gay court Louis toddles about and
finally discovers the beautiful Flora.
John Bunny had much respect for
the comedy work Of Flora Finch. Once
in Terre Haute, when Bunny was
making a flyer in musical comedy in
person. he told me. between maps at
the dinner table, of his respect for
Flora Finch.
At that time Bunny was suffering
from sleeping sickness" and 1t was
nearly impossible to keep him awake
between courses.
