1 1 ift'Ii School Notes.
Bertha Snioots and Marie Dowley
were on the sick list part of the
week.
Examinations were held in all the
rooms Monday and Tuesday of this
week.
In the primary department there
were seven pupils that were neither
absent nor tardy during the month
of October.
A boy in the physiology class of a
school in South Boston gave the fol
lowing definition of the difference
between the backbone of a man and
the backbone of a cat: "A man's
backbone runs up and down while
the backbone of a cat runs side
ways. A cat is liable to spit and
throw up her backbone." Another
boy said of the spine: "The spine is
a long bone reaching from the skull
to the heels. It has a hinge in the
middle so that you can sit down,
otherwise you would have to sit
standing." Lippincotts.

The scientists so far have not been

They all agree that nourishment re

health, no life. It is then absolutely

a large plant in this city,
the previous trip to this citv
her of our leading business men made
a careful investigation into Mr.
Roberts' standing and they found
then that he was a man who had
made good everywhere he had been
and that his undertaking the erec
tion of a plant here meant its com
plete and assured success. The ex
act terms of his proposition to the
city has not been made public.
He is a man who has had a long
range of experience in the canning
business and knows a good location
when he sees it. He: realizes that
there is a vast field around this city
which the canners have left prac
tically untouched. This has re
sulted in a loss, not alone to the city,
but to the farmers and truck gard-
ners ot tlie vicinity as a good mar
ket has been allowed to go to waste.
What he now proposes means to
make a market for every kind of
During ! cheaper here than in Indiana, w hich
;i mini-I should help a whole lot. In spcak-
Jing of tomatoes, Mr. Roberts says
vegetable produce and give employ- try can be secured have be,
ment to many workingmen and wo- ; it is lo be hoped that no li'J
than an average yield of tomatoes is
.'J00 bushels to the acre, which ;it
twenty-live cents per bushel means
an Income of $7." per acre, far more
than corn will ever bring.
What Mr. Roberts proposes to do
is to build a combination plant and
work it the year round. II will lake
a capitalization of $r0.000 lo do
this and it means a big plan). It
will employ a hundred and fifty peo
ple during the season and even dur
ing the winter time there will !i
no less than twenty employes at
work. It can readily be seen that
this means a big help to the city.
Every dollar spent in this plan:
means another dollar for the city.
As said above this is a big chance
for I'lat tsmout h and its progressive
people. While no satemetl' of I he

In company with J. II. .Falter and
W. W. Coates Mr. Roberts has looked
into the possibilities of the land ly
ing around this city and ho has
found them great. Anything that,
can be canned can be grown in the
immediate neighborhood of the city.
Tomatoes, peas, beans, pumpkins,
sweet corn, sweet potatoes, cherries.
berries of all sorts and everything
will stand in the way of gelling the
industry located hoe. There i -t lit
tle in the.- line of factories here :nd
no city of its size has less than it.
Now is a chance lo get something
which, is a permanent good in more
ways than on;.
This factory would build x city
up to a market place for fai.n and
garden products and means prosperi
ty to its merchants as well as to
of a like nature flourish on this soil j the farming community around it.
and there is no reason why it should - Let the people? of the city get to
not be made to pay by the establish
ment of a big cannery. Hominy can
be produced here far cheaper than in
the east. Cabbage and its attendant
canned article, sauer kraut, is right
at the doors of this city only wait
ing to be gathered in. And the same
thing is true of virtually every can
ned product. A factory to do this
work will accomplish wonders and
there is now a chance to get. one.
But there is even a better thing
!i sight. As at present used there is
gether and secure an industry which
means to fill the vacant houses and
add to the money income of the citi
zens. No matter what your views ma
be on this proposition turn out to
morrow night and hear what Mr.
Roberts has to say upon th'- ma1
ter. It cannot fail to be instructive
