I'LL Wind" StuIft o. X.

The old saw '"That it's an i'll
wind which blows nobody any
good worked out to the queens s
taste over in Monroe township
the other day when a tenant on
the farm of Friend Butt near
Johnstown went down to a
swampy piece of land to pre-
pare a grave for a hog which
had been drowned in a watering
trough the night previous. =
Before he had fairly started
on his task his spade struck an
obstacle which has since attract
ed general attention and more
talk than did the skull OF Yor-
rick in the hands of melancholy
Hamlet.
Further excavation revealed
that the find was the well pre-
served skeleton of a prehistoric
mastadon, a long extinct animal
which existed about twenty-five
thousand years ago.
From later developments it ap-
pears that Mr.. Butt had struck
# rich. and would probably reap
sreturns equal to the revenue
from a small gold mine or an oil
well. The news of the valuable
find spread over the country and
soon the Butt farm became a
yeritable Mecca and a hegira of
pilgrims crowded the highways
leading to the last resting place
of the long defunct quadruped.
It was not necessary for a
house to fall on the lucky farm
er to convince him that he had
struck a snap, and in a short
time the point of attraction was
fenced in and a gate keeper in
stalled. At first the nominal
fee of ten cents was the price OF
admission, but on Sunday it was
jumped up, and three or four
thousand gladly whacked up two
bits to see the show.

HEALTH is MENACED
BY CITY LAUNDRIES

New York-Health Commissioner
Harris has announced that public
laundries in this city will be placed
under a permit system. He said this
is necessary to prevent the danger of
contagion from improperly washed
clothes. He called attention to health
dangers that surround laundry work
erS.
Improper methods of handling
soiled or infected clothes in contact
with clean clothes, improper methods
of sterilization due to low tempera-

chimes, and insanitary conditions sur
rounding the workers, are some of
the dangers disclosed" the commits
sioner said.

Strike Is Smashed;
Damages Asked

New York-After smashing strike
started by group of their company
"union" members, the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company has filed suit
for $239,000 against sixty-twQ of
these workers.
One provision of the company "un-
ion" maintained by the transit COM
pany provides that membership is
compulsory and that no employee can
belong to "any association or organ
ization of employees other than the
said brotherhood"
This, it is alleged, is a violation of
contract, and has been so held by the
United States Supreme Court, in the
Hitchman Coal Company against the
United Mine Workers.

GULF FISHING

The U. S. Department of fisheries
in cooperation with the State OF
Texas has placed a fishing boat and
crew at the disposal of John s. Pier
son, expert on commercial fish, for the
purpose of making a survey of the
bays, inlets, spawning grounds, and
kinds of fish, the survey to take from
one to two years.
Mr.. Pierson passed through San

tiresome. but an exceedingly wssteiui
and expensive process. The fax fibre
has always been recovered by hand
in ireland, in Belgium, and in Rus
sia-in fact. everywhere that flax is
used.
The methods of recovering the fibre
are not much different from those used
in the Egypt of the Pharaohs. That
is why linen is expensive, and that is
why so little flax is grown in the
United States-we fortunately have
not a sufficient supply of low paid
hand labor to make any crop which
requires manual handling profitable.
We began TO experiment at Dear
born, and these experiments have dem
onstrated that flax can be mechanic
ally handled. The work has passed
the experimental stage. 1t has proved
its commercial feasibility.
To begin at the beginning. We put
about six hundred acres here into
flax. We plowed and prepared the
ground by machinery, we sowed by
machinery, We harvested by ma
chinery, we dried and threshed by ma
chinery, and finally took out the fibre
by machinery. That has never sue
cessfully been accomplished before.
Flax has always required lot of
cheap hand labor. We cannot use any
thing in our business which requires
hand labor.
Flax grows very well in Michigan
and also in Wisconsin, although in
Wisconsin the attention has been
given to growing flax not for the
fibre but for the seed. which is crush
ed into linseed oil. Flax growing for
fibre has not gone far in this country
because almost the only market for
flax is abroad, where cheap hand labor
is available.
Flax is peasant crop and before
the war the big producer was Rus
sia-it had an abundance Of people ac-
customed to living on nothing a year.
Our own country has not been enough
interested in flax growing to find out
with exactness where it will grow. 1t
seems TO require a moist climate, but
once the flax industry is established
here. undoubtedly we shall be able to
develop varieties so that nearly every
section of the country will have a spe-
cies which it can profitabiy raise.
