LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS
Dear Santa Claus,
During the past several years you
have been a great mystery to us.
When we were young, we had great
joy in believing you were a large,
Jolly, old man with a long white beard
and red suit. But as we grew older we
dropped that thought and now have a
deep belief that you are real spirit,
that exists only in the hearts OF men
and women who want to give to make
someone happy.
If you, Santa, would only dwell in
the hearts of everyone, the world
would be much happier and safer
place in which to live. There would
be no more horrible wars to take the
lives of so many people. Nor would
there be so much hatred after con-
flict. Each of these things are of
great Importance to the world, so,
Santa, not merely for our sakes, but
for others as well, please do your best
to give Peace to our World.
Your sincere friends,
Howard Taylor and Edwin Price

HILL DETOUR

A bridge party for members. to

ate the social season at the Red

clded at a meeting of the board
OF directors Thursday evening.
r. V. Ochs was appointed to

tee In arranging for the affair.
Changes in the course were also
planned. A swinging bridge built

Der seven fairway which includes
a steep hill. 1t is also planned
to put the number two green and
number three tee at the foot of
the hill where they are now 10
Gated. The move will eliminate
hill-climbing for players, al
though the present hole and tee
will be left should more ambit-
lous golfers care to use them.

the possibilities of putting a COIN
operated monograph in the
place.

TRUCKING CASE
SET FOR MAY 26
CASE INVOLVES RIGHTS
OF ASSOCIATIONS
FOR HAULING

The case involving Earl Bliss
charged with hauling a load of
goods other than farm or agricul-
tural products on a "T' license
truck, which was set for Friday
has been continued until May 26.
Bliss was arrested April 80 on
the complaint of Walter A. Pal
mer who charged that he was
hauling a load of furniture on
highway 19.
The case will be of intense in
tereSt to truckers and members of
shipping associations as several
disputed questions are involved.
Bliss claims that as manager of
the truck line of the Cooperative
Shipping association he was with
in his rights as he was hauling the
furniture for a member of the as
ISOLATION. A point to be argued is
what I license cooperative trucks
may haul and whether person
is bona fide member of ship
ping association if he is not en-
gagged in actual farming and lives
in town.

sHUGE ROCK CRUSHER is,
ADDED AT QUARRY
NEAR MORTON

A huge rock cruSher which re-
quired five fat cars for transpor-
tation at a freight cost of about
$1,000 a car, is being anchored by
Workmen at the Cold Springs
granite quarry just east of Nor
ton. A carload of concrete will
be needed to fix the iron jawed
machine in place. ......
The installation of the crusher
will add a second product, crush
ed rock, to the quarry's regular
output which now is rainbow
granite, used in making fine
tombstones and for building pur-
poses.
William Bidinger, quarry man.
ager, posed for Putnam M. Smith,
photographer, beside a SIS ton
block of granite loaded on a fiat
car ready for transportation to
Cold Springs for finishing. From
six to 10 blocks of approximate
ly the same size are quarried and
shipped every week as operations
are in full swing.
Three shifts, two drilling and
one quarry work every day, OPP
Grating from 4 a. m. to 10 p. m.
At present "a men are employed
and when the big crusher with
two smaller auxiliary crushers are
in operation, 10 men will be added
to the crew.
A mammoth air compressor
furnishes about 5000 cubic feet a
minute to power six drifters, eight
sinker drills for splitting rock and
three small drifter drills.
After the rock is channelled
and properly prepared, powder
is placed in the holes and the
charges set off by electricity from
a control house on the edge of the
deep pit. Dynamite is never used
for blasting at the quarry as it
"stuns" the rock, causing small
wavy cracks to appear.
The blocks are lifted to fiat
cars with a rs ton derrick which
towers above the scene of opera
tons.
MIR. Bldlnger, who has done
quarry work since he was Is
years old, believes that the sup
ply of granite in the present pit
and in adjacent territory is mex
haustable. This summer a tract
to the east of the pit will be clear
ed of surface earth and quarry
ing will begin there.
