The Cedarville Herald, Volume 35, Numbers 27-52

The wprw i wagon is backed to the grocery store entrance and the driver, assisted by the grocer’s boy, begins to unload Christmas trees. Soon the walk I)» cluttered with them and the passersbjr, catching the spirit ot'tbe tree, smile, a t the children gathering •round, A light, snow is falling and the green of the spruce Is Inviting, to say nothing of the reason it has come to town. What a lot of Christmas trees the grocer has ordered-rrand yet how few compared to the many thousands that grow In Christmas Tree .Land, away up north. Up there the woods dre full of Christmas trees and the snows are so deep that snowshoes .may he nec­ essary. And In Christmas Tree Land there are vast stretches of nothing but evergreen trees and white snow—aiid In the snow, If . you are versed in woodcraft, you might find the track of a.deer, and innumerable trails of Brer Rabbit,^leading away through the greenery to -the quiet, Trast places. Probably you pay $1 or more for a Christmas, tree, tjp north they, are free, but ..the hardy men who gather them must wade in the deep snow and draw them many miles to the railroad that they may he shipped to the little ,hoys and girls of the city. And as' you sit beside your tre6, with your heart glad and your spirits gay, you might ponder on how that tree got to you.. You can picture the’ vast‘snow field and the forest with the December sun shining bn It, shedding jewels of light, A squirrel Is floun­ dering about in the buow trying to locate, some buried nuts and a blue- jay is Bcolding saucily from a maple tree hard by. And then, Into the quiet comes a man.' Be is a Bturdy* man with a wpolen cap drawn closely over his ears and nose. There are silts' for his eyes. Qn his feet are great woolen packs with' rubber shoes and his trousers are tucked .inside the packs. . His coat Is very odd, to you, consisting of a great, bright sweater sort of garment, hackled closely, around him. On his shoulder he carries an ax. He begins to cut- Christmas trees and the one you have In your home Is a very pretty one that pleases him as he hauls it away to where his team await3. With many other tree b youf tree is put bn the sled and after a time, is hauled to the depot where It 1 b shipped to your grocer. ■ The man who cut it was no doubt a lumberjack and if ho is, like hia kind, he lives in a log cabin with his wife and children. In the olden days "he worked in' the timber exclusively, but now he farms during tho summer on a wee-farm that he is clearing of stumps, and in the winter time lie cuts Wood for the lumber companies. And his little ones, always have a 1 Christmas-tree, for Christmas trees ore free where he lives,,hut probably ) it Is not 1 as plentifully, loaded with gifts as yours, for which you Bhould be very thankful.

The difficulties en- eu<* PaPer are ^ ; l,1i 1Il,8trated ln R vory Interesting artide upon paper destruction by the German imperial printers, the Kansas City Journal says, - JP1®, methoda previously available were threor-burnlng, boiling and pulpj ing. In the first process it has been found that even where a special fur* na.ee has l>een used It has not lnf~e% quently happened that while the outer parts -of packets were destroyed some of the contents were not even singed' In the case of stamped or gummed pa-' per the matter was Btill worse, for the packets baked together into solid blocks, the interiors of which were' quite intact In the second process the paper for destruction is placed in iron boilers i lye is added and the contents then sub­ jected to the prolonged action - Of steam. As a destructive process for small quantities this is quite effectual, as Is also that of pulping, a process In which the.paper is cut up by revolv­ ing knives in water. In both of these caseB there is, how­ ever, another difficulty—that or dispos­ ing of the product. It cannot easily he sold, it will not pay to transport" and on hand the sodden, stodgy mass quickly goes had. The German Imperial printers there­ fore decided to try a new way—grind­ ing it up dry. To this end they in­ stalled a forty horse power mill, which by a process of .hurling, crushing and tearing reduce . the paper to an almost powderllke form, ln which it passes through a sieve into a collecting cham­ ber beneath.the mill ready for pack­ ing. This, however, was. accompanied by a very objectionable feature, especially when dealing with gummed paper in the grinding. Such a dust was created that though the workmen engaged wore protectors, It yet persistently filled and blocked .their eyes and nos­ trils. ‘ ' As the work of packing was on this account not Only unhealthy, unwilling­ ly performed .and also uneconomical, efforts were made to find some me­ chanical means of doing i t Difficulty after1difficulty arose. - Among such may be mentioned that a spiral feeder having been deviled it. was found that the paper would some­ times form into halls solid as blocks ‘ of wood, which, defied the efforts to move them by the 20 horse power mo- m S fcdd t & A l e x a n d e r AT MAIN STREET NEAR LIMESTONE ■ . . • . . . i? . « * - - Men Approve of the Goods We Sell and of Our Way of Selling Them Ever since We started up a little"business here in this room some years ago) we’ve been treating our customers in a way to merit their confidence. - We always give the best goods that can he sold at any price with a living profit.- We treat our customers like the gentlemen they are. <We quickly make right—without a moment ’sjparley—-any pf m 'our merchandise that might go wrong—ks the best of goods will'occasionally.
