THE OGDFNSBURG REPUBUCAN-JOURNAt PAGE TWO Darius Undertakes Lumber Contract and Is Successful; Butter Factory Is Started • : CHAPTER 37 ' •'' Darius and Sarah are settled ' frr .their new home. In the summer Darius and Wes work the? farm \on-shares and ' \spend: the winters in the lum- ber wood_s. A daughter, Mary '.Jane;; Is. .born to.the happy young couple. • *Nc)w the brothers- decided that a tteTjr \barn was -needed: With the in- creasing yields of hay and jstock, the one barn was insufficient and so' the'y .planned .to build that fall. The place' selected, for 1 this new barn was' on \a side hill- some, dis- tance front the other buildings. A ' 'deep bas.ement was. dug for an un- 3ergrouhd horse stable and over- aead. it ^.was. all to be a storage room for hay and grain. This, was a. large barn, 50x80 feet, with twenty'foot posts. The shingles \were no longer shaved, but' gur- shased • from. Mr. Mead instead. 'Buifthe sawed'shingles lasted only half as. long on the ro'ojf as the shaTed ones did. It was December when the'new barn was finished, and the boys had to haul the eight giant stacks of hay from the meadow where it had been stacked at haying- time, 'becaus'e the old barn would not hold\'It. Two days completed that job. '.\ .In the\ meantime Darius had been trying to solve a few problems in lumbering mathematics, he ' had also been studying- the results, fi- nancially, of the lumber jobbers for whom he had worked-for the r How the Fat Li you, are, over-fat, use what modern doctors use, not methods of the past.-Not abnormal diet, not some^ futile aid.

It hart been talked around the neighbor- hood among the workmen that these contractors were \making money, \getting rich\ to- use their own expressions. Darius'* figures were conserva, tive and brought out several facts Most important was that the job- bers w^ra making more than dpu ble the amount that he was at the wage they were giving him. Also that Mr. Mead was doing still bet- ter With h'is mill. That discovery convinced Dar- ius that he snould become a job- ber. He was already a practical lumberman, had observed all the methods used by these successful jobbers, had even noticed many lit- tle details whereby they might hate lessened their expenses, thereby making more profits for themselves, which- they had failed to observe. Darius told Wes of his intention to run a job this .winter and Wes said: \You take a job and I will haul for you with the team.\ \Alright said Dide, and imme- diately started for Mv. Mead's house. / Now Mr. Mead had been a lum- -berman and mill owner all his life, was a.good manager, honest but shrewd, and had the name of driv- ing a hard bargain. Hence he had accumulated considerable money. Mr. Weed had given him. a glow- ing account of Darius' ability, character, etc., so he was not en- tirely unprepared for the interview which Darius b.ad sought of him. Mr, Mead found in Darius an in- teresting and intelligent woods- man and naturalist, incidentally well informed in. the lumber busi- ness. If Mr. Mead thought he could drive a hard bargain with Darius, \he soon found that that young . man was equal to the emergency. However, being in a social mood, they soon had a bargain completed, satisfactory to both. It was not a big job Darius had taken. He wish- ed to be cautious and preferred trying it put on a small scale. ADVERTISEMENT 1 Holds False Teet b.

Darius was enthusiastic. This was to be his first trial of working for himself. All Ms life he had worked for someone else, always looking forward to the time that he could he his own boss, and that time had always been just out of his reach. \Now if this job is as profitable to me \as it looks,\ he thought, \I will take a much bigger one next winter.\ Wes was optimistic and had con- fidence in Dariua' good judgment The brothers w'ent into the woods and selected a good site for a lum ber camp. Returning home, Darius hired Nate Thurber, Alfred Taggert and Mose Kane and with Wes and the team and a wagon load of provi- sions, bedding and tools, went into the woods. The first three nights they slept on balsam boughs, with the sky for a roof, but on the fourth night thp camp had a roof. Wes was sent home for an old stove, which Darius had bought from Fred Shutts, and a tew more cooking utensils. Sarah wanted to go in and cook for them, but Darius said that with the baby i t would be rather hard, and finally persuaded her to re main at home. '\It will .mean an extra camp it you come, Sarah, and besides Nate and I can do the cooking alright,\ said Dide. Ten men and two skidding horses, were all h e needed that win- ter Until all the logs were on skids and the' roads cut, then he would keep his three best men for load- ers and with five extra teams haul the logs to the ice, to he floated to the mill when the ice melted in the spring. That was a pleasant and profita- ble winter \for Darius. His men were all old neighbors and inti- mate friends of Darius. Evenings in the camp were spent playing cards, singing and telling stories and in spite of the cold winter they enjoyed their work. Darius realized a good profit on his job. figuring up to about dou- ble what his wages were the win- ter before. The middle of May saw his con- tract finished. The logs were all in the mill pohd. T Mr. Mead gave him his check and Darius paid off his men. Mr. Mead asked if he wanted an- other job for the next winter. \Yes said Darius, \if you can double the sizs of \it\ \Alright Dide; if we can agree on the price you shall have it,\ re- plied Mr. Mead. Darius now was ready to finish paying Mr. Shutts for the property at the lower lake and he had a lit- tle balance left over, which he de- posited in the Malone bank. Butter making on the farm was now- discontinued and the milk was hauled to the factory at Cromp- ville. Cream separators had not yet been invented, and in these fac- tories they poured the milk into broad tin vats eight feet long by four feet wide and eight inches deep. They were left till all of the cream rose to the surface when it was skimmed and rolled off and churned in a huge barrel, run by a water power wheel. The factory owners marketed the butter, pay- ing the patrons 14c per pound and keeping two cents for their work in manufacturing the butter. Near- ly all the farmers were now taking their milk there. That same fac- tory is running at the time this is written, but with modern machin- ery and electric power installed. Woolen mills had been erected in Malone where the raw fleece from the sheep was taken and manufact- ured into cloth. The farmers got together and at shearing time one team would haul the wool from ten or twelve farms i n one load. The milk was hauled the same way, the farmer living furthest from the factory on each road hauled the milk for all living On his route. Bach farmer had to erect a milk stand on the roadside on which he would place his huge thirty gallon can of milk every morning. On the return trip the carrier left the can half filled with skim milk for the pigs. Thus the good housewife was relieved of many a hard day's work. Grandfather, now nearly seven- ty, was still actively engaged in his nursery and medicine work but since his last trip to the upper lake a new idea had taken possession of him, which he revealed to Dar- ius. - Onthia last trip he had picked up over a hundred dead white fish that- had*' been washed np on the beach during a hard soutli gale of the-previous day. Now his idea was to clean the bottom of the lake for several hundred feet from shore along these beaches, so that a seine could be hauled, prophesying that \barrels\ of this dainty edible food 'could be caught and marketed at a good profit Darius was\ convinced that i t waB a pretty good- thing and promised grandfather that he would think up some means of cleaning the beaches and meanwhile Sarah could he knitting a seine. So grand- father on his next trip to Malone purchased the necessary twine and ropes for knitting a seine. He made the wooden needles and gave Sarah the directions which I copy from'my grandfather's old record book: \How to Knot a Seine.\ Width at each end 27 meshes, ten meshes for 1 space, widen every 10 meshes to the center, and then narrow every 10.meshes to end, 11 spaces for 1* rod, 10 rods for one seine.\ Sarah smilingly tackled the job. The children kept the needles fill- ed. I t took her nearly all winter to finish it, but finish it she did, and glad she was when it was finished. Prominent Canton Woman Gives Radio Talk About International Relations Canton, Feb. 18— Mrs. Robert Ford, of Canton, prominent club woman gave an address Wednes- day afternoon oyer WCAD, at St Lawrence University here on \A Glib Phrase.\ Her talk follows: \Since the World war we have all been using that glib phrase, International Relations. Most of us, I suspect, without much thought about what it really signifies. Just what does it mean? \To the dairy farmer' it may mean reduced prices because Can- ada, Norway and Sweden ship but- ter and cheese across the line; to the wheat growing farmer, selling to other countries all the wheat Americans cannot consume; to the Radio Company of America, a sale for all the radios the Ameri- can public cannot or will not buy; to the army man, guns, powder, horses and bayonets; to the navy man and steel magnate, battle- ships, cruisers, submarines; to the chemist high explosives; to the man in the air-force, airplanes and bombs; to the politician, tariffs; to everyone with things to sell the whole significance of the phrase may center around the Idea of a market for their goods. To thousands of sports lovers last week-it meant the third win- ter Olympics with 17 nations com- peting for the honor of their coun- try, which is a beautiful example of what International Relations should and can be. To many mil- lions of Americans and billions of people in the rest of the world i t means a world court and League of Nations, where all International disputes and quarrels may be set- tled without resort of force. * I n my childhood, I knew a grandmother who had 22 grand- children living in the same town with her. They loved going to her home to visit -and play and she delighted in having them. She waB very ,indulgent and allowed them to do almost everything they wanted to, so long as they kept the peace. Argument and dispute never fretted her, but with the first kick, blow or any act of vio- lence, she scattered them. \They were sent home, and the disturbers of the peace weren't al- lowed to come again until -they promised good behavior and ful- filled the promise. That little old lady, without realising It Cfor the word had not been coined then) was a pa*cifl8t, which term used in its truest sense, means one who believes in settling all difficulties without resort to physical force or violence. The little grandmother probably never thought Jn all her life of International Relations, but she realized what human relations should be, and taught her grand- children to live peaceably togeth- er. ' \ '•War is frightfull costly, wheth- er individuals or nations carry it on, and is besides so utterly sense- less that the world is attempting to substitute in its stead, Internation- al good will and understanding. \If you and I can manage to live at peace with our neighbors and in our own community (and most of us do) why haven't we a right to demand that the nations of the world keep the peace also? \In short this glib phrase, Inter- national Relations, translated into plain common sense which at this stage o£ the world's existence, simply means that we, who are just plain citizens, want war. stop- ped \because it is foolish, costly and never settles quarrels among nations. We must train our own minds away from the idea that fighting settles disputes, then we must train our children's minds the same way. \We often laugh at the old say- ing of 'locking the barn door after the horse is stolen' because we realize how futile it is to lock it then. For all of us, this glib phrase, International Relations, should at this .moment rivet our attention on the fajhily of nations gathered in Geneva attempting to find a way to look the door on war before «ver it starts, where all are agreed that the only means of accomplishing this i s in some way to limit, re- duce and abolish all means of car- rying on war, and substitute Jn place of our now huge armaments, as Mr. Hugh Gibson, our represen- tative at that conference, says only that which is necessary for an internal police force and to de- fend our territory from aggression. \The world wants peace; it is poor and wretched and heartsick he- cause of war, and the first Btep toward world peace is mutual dis- armament\ which means every country agreeing to cut down its fighting force to that strength pre- scribed by Mr. Gibson. \Probably the most serious ob- stacle to disarmament is the ig- nprance and indifference of you and me and millions of good citi- zens who go about their daily tasks, all unconscious that their world is headed toward war and destruction. What shall we people of the United tates do? Stand behind President Hoover who wants this conference to succeed. He will go, We are fold, just as far as the peo- ple will support him, which means that all the plain citizens who al- so want this conference to suc- ceed must in some way get this word to him. \Let all of us listening in today get out of tlie crowd of NeroB fiddling while Rome burns and pledge ourselves to the throng that believes this Disarmament Confer- ence can bring peace to the war- ridden world, and not for one mo- ment admit defeat no matter how long it takes, and we know it's go- ing to take a long time to blot out an idea as old as this war one. But it can and must be done If the world is to go on. \If we all do our hit as cheer- fully and courageously for world peace as we did for the World war, I believe ten years from now we,shall Be happier than we have ever teen and that our reward will he very great LRUTHERFORD IS WED TUESDAY TO L.
