 Winter Mouths
COOPERATION REQUESTED
High School Nine Scores One sided Nictory-Grangc Production This Evening - GrangcrS to Attend Services at StOrrS Sunday.

Dr. George r. Cook, health officer,
 stated today that he has received numerous complaints concerning bad
 conditions existing in many Of tn"
 backwards of the town. During the
 winter months garbage and rubbish
 accumulated in many of the yards making their appearance unsightly.
 Now that warm weather is here, Dr. Cook urges everyone to devote some
 time to cleaning up their backyards
 as soon as possible so as to prevent ,irsanitary conditions.
 The health officer is of the opinion that now is the time 10 do this work because the annual Cloan-up week will be held in d short time. He
 suggests that those cleaning up their yards place the rubbish in barrels or other containers so that it can be removed easily during that week. There is no necessity of waiting until cleanup week before starting to clean the yards, he said. The work l of the town will be made much easier during cleanup week if the TtSlQenlS nave tltll lupDlSh bl'-
 pared ahead of time to be moved. | the health officer added. All over
 the state people are being urged to | clean up their yards.
 | Dr. Cook has also been notified | that many cess pools in town are overfowing, creating insanitary con- ditions. He said that due to the | fact that there was frost in the
 ground until late weeks, the offend
 CTS were not pressed but now that warm weather has arrived. there is
 no need for these conditions. He
 urges those who have this condition
 existing on their property to remedy
 it at once or he will be forced to 1 take action.

The locals played won- dorful ball behind the superb pitch ing of Datoli. making only one CT TOT. The Pennington pitchers were hit hard in the pinches and were given ragged support. their team- mates kicking the ball around for 10 i errors.
 l Datoli showed great promise for 1 future games, allowing but q solitary l bingle and sending eight men back to the bench via the strikeout route. 1 He also smashed out a hit and scored four runs. Hubbard was in fine form with the willow and found the of l ferings Of the Pennington hurlcrs to his liking. banging out four safe Wallops. The game was q regular scheduled Western Conference bat | tie.
 The entire team played headsup ball and displayed great power both at the bat and on the defensive. The team should make a great record on the diamond if it continues it's good work in future games. Datoli had everything on the ball and Coach Caultield is depending on him to come through in the important bat l ties.

Still other machines. somewhat similar to
the linotype, set the larger type that is used
In headlines and advertisements. The very
largest kinds of type, such as you see in the
long banner heads that stretch clear across
the front page of the paper, are set by hand,
one letter at time, each being block OF
metal with the letters raised on the top.
As the various stories are set in type, they
are arranged in metal trays called galleyS.
These are taken to small hand press, COW
cred with ink, and pressed against piece OF
paper which thus become a proof" or copy
of the galley of type. All of these proofs go to
8 proofreader editor, who reads them and
compares them with the typewriter story from
which they were prepared. All errors are
marked and then the proof is sent back to the
linotype operator so that he can make the
necessary corrections, replacing the bad lines
with new slugs.
At this point in making a newspaper, then,
we have the various stories that have come
from all over the world, transformed into gall
legs of type. Meanwhile the pictures that are
to appear in the paper, photographs, comic
strips and other illustrations, have been sent
to the engraver and made into cuts" which
are blocks of metal in which the design OF the
picture is cut with acid that M will take
ink and print the picture
Now all the cuts and all the type go to the
editor in charge of making up the paper. 1t
is his duty to arrange them so that certain
stories and advertisements appear on each page.
To do this he follows a dummy, or pattern,
which he has made out beforehand. AS he
makes up each page, printer, called make
up man." sets the type and the cuts in big
metal frame Just the size of a newspaper page.
When the page is completely made up, 1t Is
locked in the frame so that it becomes big
metal block just like the page will be when 1t
Is printed
In small newspaper Offices this big metal
block, or page FORM" is put directly on the
press and covered with ink. Then paper is
pressed to the form and the page is printed.

Putting the Nezus Into Print.

But in the Office of daily newspapers better
method is used, involving the work of still
other wonderful machines The page form,
instead Of going to the press, goes to mat
rolling machine. large mat, the size of
newspaper page, and made of heavy paper and
paste much like cardboard, is placed upon
the type and held there under great pressure.
This makes a complete impression in the mat
of every letter and every line in the page.
This mat then goes to the stereotyper He
places it in casting machine, curving it
around cylindrical drum, Then molten metal
is poured upon the mat and when it is nodded
and cooled you have duplicate of the page
form. But instead of being fiat, it is now
hollow cylindrical plate with the letters on the
outside.
The Printing Press.
The reason the plate is made in this shape
is so that it will fit around one of the rollers
on big newspaper press One of these casts
is made for each page of the paper, and all of
them are put on various rollers on this huge
press which is another superhuman sort of
machine.
Now at last we are ready to print the paper.
Into one end of the press blank paper is fed
from big roll. The press turns, the semi
cylindrical casts of the various pages are COW
cred with ink and pressed to the paper, and
out of the other end of the press, seemingly
by a miracle, come the finished newspapers,
with the edges trimmed the pages numbered
and in order, all folded and ready to be de-
hvered
So you can readily that these great ma
chimes have very important part in making
a newspaper. And when you remember that
big city papers print perhaps 100000 papers
every day, and get out six seven different
editions, you can imagine the speed at which

Summer rich banker once said that he
would like for time to change places with a
poor fellow who lived in his own homemade
river houseboat. ThGre is the lure of open

houseboat is safe enough to use at least part

A houseboat with single large room, mount

row of logs, dashed together and with the
ends pointed, forms the raft upon which the
house is built. These should be of dry wood,
as then they will be able to support greater
weight in water Upon these logs another
foundation is built of smaller poles, with cross
poles laid across the logs. This is to raise the
house floor so an occasional wave or splashing
won't get water inside
You can leave the portfolios open, or fasten
panes of glass on the side over them Some
old hot-water tanks, obtained at a plumbers
establishment and properly sealed, make the
best kind of float, and if possible they should
be used. However, the logs will serve you well
This houseboat can be freed and allowed to
float down the current, then poled back to the
anchorage at night.
