The only way you
can dodge him is to obey President
McColl's order, cut down all burdocks
and other noxious weeds about your
premises. Otherwise the man with the
scythe will be sent in short order, and
u little bill will be stuck under your
nose; and you can't dodge the bill
either.

There's something in wooden leg,
even If 1T isn't the stuff Kansans are
supposed to conceal
a Wooden therein. E. f. Pratt
and Stanley Wilson
IoM,.4I had good natured
-eS "a'teu.r rough and tumble
scuflle vest r n Y,
and the latter did his best, but had to
retreat in haste and disorder. When
he sought for the cause of his defeat,
he found that all the while he had
been tanning Pratts wooden leg and
not hurting him mite. Stanley is now
in seach of d man having a wooden leg
to swap for his tender one, that he too
may fight and not finch.
In talking with q stranger who was
in town last week, we happened to
mention the Yale
1t Does the Wooden Mills. The
party was very much
vyLI.L;s surprised when we
W"o'e ''''hs'described the plant.
The stranger had an
idea that it was shop which did lit
tie carding, and spun little yarn for
old ladies to knit up, and that was all.
The party could scarcely believe it
when told that the mills took the wool
right from the sleeps back and fitted
it all ready for human backs.-That so
to speak, the wool went in at one end
in its raw and crude state, and came
out at the other the best of fine fabrics
and dress goods, and ready-made suits.
The School Board of Yale Village,
District ! +, of Brockway township, held |
meeting recently |
Organized and organized for |
work. IL. Tappan
rM,t. was chosen Director, |
TOT WoTN' Il. III. Menerey, Mod |
orator; and +. L. Cur
rier, Assessor. Serving on school |
board is a job empty of both honor,
and pay. 1t is most difficult, and |
often very trying, position to fill. But
we wish to record this of Yale's board:
They each do their duty out of real
and deep interest in the school and its
work. We doubt if a salary was given
it would add one whit to their faithful
ness in service, or make them more eff
ticient Offic than they now are. We
say honor the men who thus serve the
public without pay or price. It's SER
vice money alone cannot buy.

The writer had a very pleasant chat
with one Of the masonic brethren who
attended the banquet
Marlette's Big last week. Our talk
drifted to Yale and
Kettle Plan. its growth since those
long ago days when
il was simply "the corners" The gen.
tleman had many questions to ask con-
corning our water and light plant, and
dropped hint which may
help to solve vexing problem. He
said Marlette's plan for public water
ing troughs was very inexpensive,
out entirely atisfactory-simply huge
and heavy iron kettles, with intakes
and outlets drilled in the proper pla-
ces. He said the cost was very small,
the service excellent, and they were
easily shut off in severe weather. Will
some one please tell us why the plan
work as we'll in Yale as in
Marlette?
In marriage and money making pol
tics don't cut much ice. And it's just
so in fun and frolic.
