TWIST MADE THE ROPE.

THERE is nothing more prosaic than
rope. and yet In the march OF
labor-saving invention a rope-making
machine was long one of the last on
the list. SO long. indeed. did rope
making remain one of the manual arts
that the name Of the place where the
work was done has become ingrained
In popular speech, and the rope fac
tory. though In no way meriting the
appellation. Is still known In some
quarters as the "rope-walk."
Formerly 1t was considered q fact
worthy OF note that the Government
rope~waik at Boston could turn out
rope l.0a0 feet long.
A young workman In rope-walk

the rope instead OF the strands. II ma

again she asked Margaret to do some
fancy packs for exhibit at the county
fair. From then on the work grew
more interesting. and when she re-
ceiyed a check for $4.75 as prize
from the fair she could hardly wait
for the next Summer TO come so that
she might commence canning club
work again. Her premiums the next
year amounted to $3.50, and she be-
gan TO take a real interest. The next
year she received $35 in prizes for
canning exhibits.
In the Spring of 1925 her family
moved from Sussex County TO Virginia
She continued to learn the art OF can

alert, satisfied, progressive rural people.
