Potatoes are all in th e root house. So are lots of
other th in g s. Besides m uch in the root house th ere
is a q u a n tity at th e k itch en . T h e gardeners are m uch
in dem and.
T he blacksm iths are se ttin g th eir house in order,
not to d ep art th is life, but to begin w ork on a larger
scale w ith better arran g em en t and eq u ip m en t, now
th a t the new floor is in th eir shop.
T he yard boys are proud of th e ir railroad at the
wood yard an d it has saved a great deal of w ork in
b rin g in g th e wood to the saw. T h e best p art of it is
th a t th ere is enough of a grad e at th e shed to get a
free rid e back to th e wood pile. I t is great sp o rt.
H ave you tried it?
A num ber of th e boys in th e carp en try d ep artm en t
have begun on th e problem s they drafted in m echan­
ical draw in g . T h ere are some excellent projects to
be w orked o u t by these boys. T h ey recently m ade
several tables for th e dining-room and will soon begin
on the rem odeling of the old office b u ild in g and the
garages at the co ttag e of th e engineer and blacksm ith.
W hen you com e in the play room and th ree or four
of you lean u p ag ain st the rad iato r, and som e one
pushes som eone else, and he comes back w ith a
h arder push and the radiator begins to dance on the
floor, you are m aking trouble and w ork for the
plum bers and engineers, the m atrons, and perhaps
yourself. S tra in in g the rad iato r m akes it leak. T h e
plum bers have it to repair. W hen it leaks it spoils
th e floor and m akes work for the m atron. E very leak
m akes it h ard er for the vacuum pum p to take the w ater
away so th a t m ore steam can come into th e radiator
to heat it. So, have your rough play outside.
