plant. This crane came in complete and
in ffood order, except for a few hundred
missing parts, and the parts received
being very rusty and weather beaten.
Nevertheless we hope to have it in
operating shape soon.
The following conversation took place
between two Electricians:
First Electrician—What would the na
tion sing if they were to electrocute the,
Kaiser?
Second Electrician—Why, they would
sing Ohm, Ohm, Sweet Ohm.
First Electrician—Oh; no, not by a
jug full they would sing. Amp, Amp,
Amp, The Boy Is Parching.
Some people run Fords, but Shorty
Baumgardner runs a Hot Air plant. We
can always tell when Shorty is around
even if we can’t see him, we can feel
his hot air. Oh, that he had a condenser
to turn it into cool air.
Mr. V. L. Rockfield was out a couple
of days last week on account of sickness.
We are glad to have Roxy back with us.
We, and the electric cranes certainly
miss him when he is out.
Speaking of Safety First, we feel that
there is no danger as far as extension
cords are concerned. We have just made
up fifteen new ones for the Tool Room.
Someone has asked if the Electric
Shop is an Art Gallery. No fellows,
those are not pictures; just Safety First
Signs, donated by Mr. James Vann, our
Safety First man.
Mr. L. E. Wilson was called to his
home at Reidsville last week on account
of the illness of his wife. We are glad
to learn that she is now greatly im
proved.
It has been noticed that Mr. Carl
Smith gets a day off now and then to
work his garden. Some of the boys want
to know who couldn't win the prize that
way.
Mr. J. K. O’Donoghue, our tinsmith,
has about finished the shop work on
the tin for the new Pot Room. Now
for the finished Pot Room to put it up in.
Roxy, we have decided to let you rest
awhile, on one condition. Please explain
where you contracted chills. We used
to have them for the same reason.
Wanted at once: To exchange one
million feet of Hot Air for the same
amount of Kool Air. See Shorty Baum
gardner.

Some few days ago Messrs. Hoagland,
Roberts, and Brock decided to visit the
“Devil’s Den” and naturally they went
by water as Mr. DuBose’s boat was avail
able. Everyone crawled in and every
thing was ship-shape until the waves
began to give the fellows a good time.
Mr. Hoagland immediately had thought.^
of home. He began to yell: “Take me
to the bank. Lordy! my poor wife and
baby, what will they do?" He began
to twist around, and Roberts began to
make for the bank while poor Brock had
dreams of Charlotte. Hoagland decided
that the boat was not moving fast
enough so he began using his hands and
mouth as some kind of “air motor,” an^
still the boat did not pick up speed s('
he did the high dive for the bank and
landed safely, while the other fellow;^' |
went under and carried the boat with
them. Roberts said he drank about ten
gallons of water and a pint of oil that
got away from Mr. Adkins. Anyway
they caught the Devil even though they
did not visit his home.
Messrs. E. C. Craver, 0. C. Barnett,
Rogers, and Beckham caught a coon the
other night just as he was walking out
of the Station with an arm full of tools
(just like Mr. Ward’s gang). He was
some coon too. Weight, 19^ pounds.
Craver has him now as he shot the high
est of the four shots. We have got to
shoot something as the pool room is
closed. Why? No one seems to know.
Mr. and Mrs. Perry Beckham will
leave in a few days for Lancaster, S. C.,
where Mr. Beckham has accepted a posi-
