AskOv
Saw.break Is Mystery.


Peculiar things happen in this
world, and that which may be termed
rather peculiar occurred while the
Herman Kolb wood saving crew was
at work on the w. A. Bull place last
Thursday. 1t was while the ordinary
run of wood was being sawed that
six teeth were broken from the circu-
lar 33-inch blade. Nothing out of
the ordinary about that you will say.
No, but when four of those teeth
were taken in succession and all from
one side of the blade then it would
seem that old man popularity stepped
in. In order to take them from the
same side of the blade, it means that
every other tooth was taken out. Why
didn't the four teeth from the other
side of the saw go out with their
brothers? Well, you can answer that
one.
In the first place, why did any OF
them go? Well, why does day and
night visit this world of human be-
ings and political arguments? One
answer to the broken saw-tOOth riddle
maybe can be found in the fact that
the blade is 80 years old. And as
everyone knows, anything can wear
out.
