BRICK INDUSTRY
STARTED HERE
Plant of Wisconsin Clay
Products Company Now
in Operation.
KILNS SOON READY

Kenosha is now ready to supply not
only masons for the big building boom
now going forward but common brick
for the building industry, with the
completion of large plant on the
Burlington road. The new brickyards
belong to the Wisconsin Clay Products
company, a corporation set in motion
bv a number of Kenoshans interested,
including Joseph Orth, upon whose
land the brickyard has been completed.
The yards are adjacent to the old
Craney brickyards which many will re-
member among the dingles and ravines
of the district ION the north side of the
Burlington road a few miles west of
the city. and in the rear of Farmer
Joe's" tavern.
New Buildings Completed.
The great shed housing the equip
ment for mixing the clay and shaping
the clay into brick forms have just
been completed and the machinery set
up. 1t is estimated that the machin-
ery already in place is valued at $780,
600, with $4,000 additional equip
ment, and $4,000 invested in build
'ings, including the new kilns which are
just being built.
This week for the first time the clay
mixer was put into operation, and
breathless was the moment when a
long oblong- shaped putty-colored ma
terial began to unwind itself from the
big Kettle of the mixer. The stuff hard
ly packed and compressed was then
cut into brick lengths by another ma
chine. The bricks ready for drying
were transferred to trucks by the
workers with celebrity, run on special
switch-tracks to the drying shed, and
transferred to position without another
handling. When the bricks have dried,
they will be transferred to the kiln and
the final process of baking will take
place.
None of the bricks have been baked
as the kilns are not quite ready, and
the final process is looked forward to
with interest. The brick men are con-
WINGED that they will be able to put on
the market a common brick second to
no other brick of the same substance,
as the most modern machinery had

been set up and the men engaged to
work at the yards are all experienced
workers in that field. Nevertheless it
is possible that a little experimenting
will be necessary before the bricks
are offered in the building market.
Although the output of bricks will
be steady one if plans are carried out
as expected, it will be many, many
years before the supply of clay which
feeds the machines is exhausted. The
company owns the east Is acres of a
25-acre clay tract. The plant is now
fifteen feet above the street level, and
the company has tested the soil down
to 35 feet of clay. Charles Heating

enough clay is available on the prem
Uses for $50 million bricks at least.
Its a case where we can eat our
pie and have it too," said Joseph Ortiz,
as he proudly showed visitors over the
clay lands.
The equipment purchased will be
available for making any kind Of brick
but it is with common brick that the
plant is now experimenting.
While the carpenters are now sound
ing their busy hammers on the roofs
of the kiln sheds, the workers in the
mixing plant have prepared 100000
bricks for the kilns These are dry

The plant is equipped to turn out
5000 bricks an hour or approximately
$4,000 bricks a day.
The new brickyard in Kenosha is the
only one within a radius of many
miles. The nearest one north is at
Carrolville, Wis, and the nearest one
south is just west of Glencoe, Ill.

rescusitated this morning, lReichstag

that it could long retain Office and were
of the opinion that dictatorShipl was
only a question of time. The 'chancela
lor's plans for a non-partisan cabinet
of four ministers have been laid aside
because the coalition leaders were de-
sirous of preserving party interests

HIKING IN THE Open
ISSUGGESTED THAT WALK
CLUB BE ORGANIZED
Msnkato Folks Should commuEe
With. Mature; Seek The Fresh Z,
Air Daily

Why shouldn't Mankato have a
Hiking club? Practically every city
of its size in the state has Walk
ing club. There are dozens Of people
here who would enjoy the benefits of
a hike on Sunday morning, after
noon or evening if they just had
some one to go with, so why not
Walking club?
Milwaukee has a Walking club
composed of two hundred members.
which is promoted by one OF the
leading papers of that city. They
Start ut nine-thirty O'Clock each
Sunday morning and hike as long as
the crowd wishes. Some who cannot
enter into a long walk at first re-
turn before the arrest of the crowd,
possibly by bus or train, but these
same people later on become hard
ened and stronger and stay with the
crowd.
There are many various kinds OF
amusements to go with a hike. Mys-
terry hikes are enjoyable. Two mem
bers are appointed as leaders. They
start ahead OF the bunch, one half
hour, and strew confetti along the
way for the others to follow the
trail. Through mysterious realms,
canyons and other things they are
required to follow the leaders, which
results in much fun and sport.
From the day when man, first
balanced himself on his hind legs
and sauntered monchalantly across
the landscape with his forefeet
dangling bewilderedly at his sides in
their new role as arms, men, WON
en- and children have never lost en-
joyment in the exhileration OF "a
hike.
1t is the most natural and. safest
form of vigorous exercise and q
take deep breaths and clears the
system of ali surplus sentimentality
such as one gets. when "stroliing.
Hiking makes one feel "wild-west"
and the hiker who feels this way
never finds an uninteresting mo-
ment.
The first essential of a successful
hike is that one wear suitable cloth
ing. BY far the best costume is khaki
trousers and high shoes, but "grun-
dyism" makes most women hesitate
to don this form of apparel even
though they find skirt nuisance
among under brush, thistles and
barbwire. Women may get along with
skirts if they stay on the main high
way but when it comes to leaving
the beaten trail and explore the
labyrinths of deep canyons ard
thickets. they must wear something
besides skirts.
Another thing: some mixers
like to carry walking cane or staff
as support in climbing up hills.
" ell, and good, for they are added
strength to some. Kodaks should be
fastened to strap and worn around
the shoulders. Chocolate and raisina
can be carried by those who first
start on hiking trips.
Upon the return home the mixers
sometimes 30 in body to a movie
at night or have a wind up" party
at some of the members home and
60 Just as they ere.
Lets everybody tell everybody else
and organize a walking club in Man
kato. There is the most beautiful
scenery found in the state right in
the vicinity of Mankato and half of
the people haven't seen it for many
of these formations of nature are
not on the beaten path.
