Ingenious Apple
Butter Stirrer

Henry Price, our industrious vii
lage smith, who occupies his spare
time making wheelbarrows of all
sizes, ak and Ratchet handles by the
score, and doing all kinds of repair
work in between, has turned out an
applebutter stirrer of ingenious and
laborsaving design. 1t consists OF
four wooden paddles which revolve
like turbine and can be operated
by motor or hand. The paddles are
placed near the bottom of the kettle
and by pushing an eight foot han
die back and forth gently keep the
simmering apple butter constantly
stirred, with the operator seated or
standing far enough away from the
hot kettle to be comfortable and do
the stirring with ease. A motor can
be attached if desired.

Scrap Collected In Town

Approximately ten tons of scrap
were collected in town on Saturday.
The force of helpers who had prom
ised to turn out and help in this
patriotic drive, failed to show up,
and the work was carried on by
about half dozen of the really de-
pendable ones who never fail to
contribute intellectually their
time and labor.
These faithful few did a good job
of collecting and the result of their
labors may be seen in the big pile
of scrap on the site of the Dinsmore
Garage, West Main street, which
was swept by fire some months ago.
Further collections are to be
made in the outlying districts.
