Cedar Rapids, Iowa.-"Stay away

than those of most other cities, hence
the word has spread that Of all places
to find work this city offers the best
chance.
The fallacy in this connection lies
in the fact that there is not at this
time any big construction work under
way here-the extensive building
operations planned have not been
started as yet and today fully half
the building trades workers of the
is launched-some Of it this summer
and some not for year perhaps-it
remains to be seen whether or not
any outside labor will be needed to

Reyes Fibre Plant
Damaged to Extent
$1,000, Morning Blaze

The building of the Keyes Fibre
Co., on the line between this city and
Fairfield, was damaged to the extent
of $1,000 and seven electrical trans
formers, the property of the Central
Maine Power Co.. were ruined when
a fire broke out on the roof, near one
of the transformers and probably
started it. Officials at the power
company's office in this city did not
announce their loss.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
an alarm was rung in from box Ala
and a few moments later an alarm
for the Fairfield fire department was
sounded. Crossed wires caused the
Fairfield alarm to blow for about Is
minutes, giving the impression that
the fire was of more moment than it
really was. BY the time that the fire.
men arrived the blaze had worked
its way down ventilator and into the
interior of the building so that it
was necessary to lay three lines of
hose. The all-out alarm was sounded
soon after the firemen arrived.

On Memorial Day

The Acolyte Guild of st. Mark s

The Nation lives and the flag is the
symbol of the living Nation. The
American flag is not to be left out
doors after sunset nor in stormy
weather.
g. When the flag passes in parade
all persons present should face it,

not in uniform should remove his
headdress with the right hand and
hold it at the left shoulder, the hand
being over the heart. Women should
salute by placing the right hand over
the heart

Wooden Conduits
Laid by Plymouth Co.
In 1897 Bought by Ford

Plymouth, Mass, May IL Up -
Henry Ford has added a part Of the
first water system ever built in New
England to his collection Of New
England antiques. 1t was ANNOUNCE
ed today that he had bought from
the town water department wooden
conduits laid by the Plymouth Aque-
duct Company in 1897 and will place
them in his Detroit museum.
These conduits. which remained in
use until 1855, were made from logs
ranging from to 10 feet in length.
In the center of the logs were bored
holes, three inches in diameter
through which the water flowed. The
ends of the crude pipes were bound
with iron ferrules and had project
ing cast iron sleeves at the joints to
prevent the water from escaping.
Originally the lod aqueduct was a
mile in length. AS it was replaced
by more modern system the water
department found many of the wood
en- conduits in excellent state of
preservation. They were removed
from the ground and stored away.
The price paid for them by Mr.. Ford
was not made public.
