Mr. G. R. Swaney, formerly superin

over while en route to Maryville, Tenn.,
where he will be superintendent of the ,

The Cost Department has its troubles.
They, claim now that we are baking
more carbon than was packed into the
furnaces. Verily we say unto them, it •
can’t be “did.”

The Carbon Plant went “over the
top” in the War Work Campaign. Out
of one hundred and ninety men em
ployed, two hundred and twelve dollars
were raised.
The boys from “over there” will soon
be “over here,” and when they arrive
they should want for nothing.
Evidently the war is over; it is pos
sible to look in one direction, and see
three or four men.
Mr. T. A. Moorman is now connected
with the Carbon Plant.
Pot Room Notes
Mr. C. M. Sturkey is a pretty busy
man these days as Foreman of the
Carbon Rodding department. He says
he would be perfectly happy these days
if the Carbon Plant would only take care
of the mountain of carbon butts which
have accumulated in Building 30. Here
is the chance of a lifetime to make at
least one man happy. How about it,
Mr. Biddix?
We will probably be receiving some
of our returned soldier boys within the
next few months. Several of them have
already signified their intention to come
back to Badin to work when the war is
