to have, is touring in Europe and

Clinton's Infant Industries
A Growing Bunch of Juveniles.
The NewseRecord took a little
stroll"out on Saturday afternoon Eo ,
visit Clinton's "Infant Industrie "
Industries
and after a bit of wandering, hav-
ing gone one block too far west,
and climbing over a "stile" brought
up at the flax mill, 'recently fitted
t! 1 operated p and p t •ed
by Messrs, 'Werner
Brothers, Neither of the owners
of the enterprise were on the pre-
mises but courteous employees in
each department gave the • visitor
all the information asked for and
the visit proved an interesting one,
The Millwas a busy place, too,
on that lovely autumn afternoon, as
threshing' was in progress. Most
people in a community p eo l try like Clinton
have at one time or another seen a
threshing machine at work, even if
they have not assisted in pitching
sheaves to its greedy maw or in
mowing back the straw in the barn,
but this particular scribe had never
seen flax threshed before.. The
straw is not "fed" into a Machine
like wheat straw, that would break
it and "muss" it up altogether too
much and it must be borne in mind
that the straw of the flax is what
is to be considered, The 'flax sheaf
is held in the hands of the "feeder"
and the seeds "whipped" out between
large, swiftly -revolving cylinders.
When the seed is removed the straw,
still in the sheaf, is thrown on a
set of carriers and eerated outside
the building, loaded on wagons and
hauled to the field, where the bands
are cut and the straw Is spread
thinly over the ground to "rot." This
is accomplished by the weather and
is complete when everything can
be shaken oft except the fibre. It
is then brought into the mill again
and "scutched," baled into bundles
and shipped to a mill equipped to
put it through' the various other pro-
cesses which are necessary before it
can be converted into linen.
The seed is also a valuable pro-
duct. When separated from the
straw it goes througl>__several fan-
ning mills and finally conies down
through a chute onto the floor all'
ready for market, when it is shov-
eled into a big bin. There is enough
flaxseed down at the Clinton flax
twill to make poultices for every
man, woman and child in Huron
county. Probably, though, it will
not all be used for poultices.
The fuel shortage has no terrors
for the flax mill people as the big
boiler is fired by chaff, which the
wind is not allowed to "blow away",
in this case. It makes a good fire,
too, furnishing the power which
keeps the machinery buzzing. En-
gineer Livermore, who, by the way,
was night engineer at the piano
factory for a number of years, In-
formed us that this chaff also makes
good cattle feed. and is fed with
profit, there being a good percentage
of oil in it.
Mr. Merner informs us that they
had this season three hundred and
fifty acres under flax and the yield
was about a ton and a half to the
acre. There are about thirty .or
thirty-five employed at present and
work could be given to many more
if they could be got. Indeed, oper-
tions have been held up considerably
owing to lack of help. During the
holiday litany boys were employed,
several of them becoming very ex-
pert in the handling of flax during
the different processes , and their
help was -100011 missed when school
opened,
Tito scutehing will take a good
part of the winter. The scutching
machines will be set up in the lower
part of the mill, which will be
warm and comfortable for working
in, and many men will be employed
there all winter.
Another one of Clinton's busy spots
this summer has been its lumber yard,
-
where Messrs. McEwan Bros., with
their portable still, have sawn up
350,000 Peet of lumber, one inch, two
inch and three inch, for Mr. Fred
NEW CITIZENS.
Messrs. Betts and Gadd of Riclge-

store, Mr. Betts being a married mail.
Clinton pitizens bill them welcome an
wish then! success.

Mr.. Chas, Cole has been our chief ov-
erseeer." This was in reference to
one of Clinton's, venerable citizens,
who lives Beside the yard and
who has
been noneb interested in the summer's
work.
For a small portable mill to turn
out that yard full of lumber looks like
a very good output, but it was easy
to imagine as we watched the basis

Still aonther of Clinton's infant Ins
clustries is the Huron Specialty Cast,.
ing Co., which is operating in the Mo-
tor Works building, and which we have
not as yet had time to inspect. But
it is also an interesting and busy
place.
Altogether we have come to the con-
clusion that our "Infant Industries"
are lusty youngsters and bid fair in
time to grow to stalwart dimensions.
So may it be.

sider the advisability of appointing

ance, which would amount to some

decided to wait until other townships
tried the experiment before taking
action. However the clerk received
further communications from the de-
partment of the Minister of High-

vantage of this Government Grant
and stating that they would allow
