BAGLEY.

Big downpour Sunday evening,
the 25th.
Quite number of the old vets
gathered at the home OF Comrade
Fassbender, of Brodtville, last
Saturday, 1T being one OF their
monthly meetings from house to
house. The day was extra balmy
and nice, the dinner and grapes
luscious and free, as we walked and
talked, eating, as we passed through
the vineyard. Maggie and Glenn
and perhaps others were so full
they gasped for breath, but our
bighearted host mistook it for an
ordinary yawn. Our thanks are
due Comrade Maggie for ride up
there that day. The next meeting
will be at the home of Comrade
Bossi the third Saturday in Nov.
Business at our special school
meeting was transacted without
any special friction, the vote being
almost unanimous in favor OF the
appropriations necessary to GO
ahead with the high school build
ing. We trust the foundation will
be laid this fall, and brick yard
established in the spring, and the
building ready for next school year.
R. D. Klatz, principal at the Glass;
vile high school, spent Saturday
and Sunday with Clarence Brockert,
principal of our schools.
Mrs. Frank Handy, Thornton

Who was the joke on, Charley, OF
the pig? Itappears that Mrs. Plondke
asked Charley to give her pig fol-
her very own. Charley said ''oh
fudge" and went on. But the joke
of it was his wife swiped the pig
and had it shut up for several weeks
before Charley found it out. Now
Charley thinks some women are
very set in their ways when they
take the motion.

One night last week burglars
entered the j. T. Clifton hardware
store and took out about hundred
dollars worth. The sheriff was
notified and some effort was made
to catch the thieves, but the rangers
are still at liberty. They entered
at the back window, the weak point
in most stores. Why not strengthen
with strong iron bars.
