Did anybody in Allen county think
of scheme like this, reported in the
ElDorado Republican,.
Our friend Phlo Hunter of Eairmount town
ship, is one hundred and fifty dollars richer for
two days work he and his boys and team put in
during the dry spell Mr.. Hunter has a fair
sized potato field which was beginning TO show
the rayages Of the drouth and at one time look
ed as though II might go the wav of all flesh.
But Hunter was equal to the emergency and
with shovel plough made ditch down each
row OF potatoes, hitched up. borrowed a
few rain barrels and started a little system of
irrigation on his own hook. As result he has
one hundred bushels of potatoes more than he
would have had II he had harnessed up and
come to town to cuss the dry weather and the
Republican party. II took him two days to
make one hundred and fifty dollars.
There are lot of small boys-andI
some not SO small-who are going to-
get into whole lot of trouble if they |
do not stop playing ball on the streets |
In the first place there is
an ordinance against playing ball on
the streets and they are likely to be
arrested and fined for violating that. |
In the second place they disturb the
peace and quiet OF good people, and
they are likely to be arrested and |
fined for that. And i'm the third place
boys who play ball and shout and
swear when they might be at Sunday
School are sowing seed that will bring
them a bountiful harvest ofmisfortune
by-and-by.
