Next TO going to a circus. running
to fires is Hopkins chief social func-
tion in popularity. It's fun running to
a fire, unless your own home or prop
erty is in danger.
We were relieved Thursday when the
fire on lower Broadway. which we fear
ed was at our home, was at the home
of Skull Scanlon instead. We were
writing an editorial on Self Sacrifice
when the fire bell rang. We could see
from the Hay Press office that it was
in our neighborhOod. We ran down
Broadway like a scared rabbit If
constable had been chasing US we
couldn't have run faster. AS we ap-
preached the spot we saw that Scanlon's
residence and not ours, was going up
in flame and smoke. Much relieved we
slowed down and walked the rest Of
the way.
An Authority on Children.
Mrs. Sarah Proudfeet, wife Of our
learned school superintendent is TO ad-
dress the Mothers Congress at the
county seat next week on how to raise
children, or 10 be more exact, how TO
bring them up after they are raised, for
Mrs. Proudfeet has no children Of her
own.
Nevertheless Mrs. Proudfeet feels
competent to handle the subject from
observations of her neighbours child
rem.
Breaking Into society.
Chill Blaine has bought a gasoline
launch to ply the waters of the dredge
ditch, which will make him popular
with the girls during the navigation
season.
Pete Pogue has purchased a second
hand auto, and will also try TO break
into society. Pete wears immense cog
giles when speeding, which improve his
looks by concealing some Of his face.
Medal for DIR. BIOwlSey.
Hopkins is achieving distinction
through one Of its residents. DR.. Bill
Blowkey, our skilled veterinary sur
geon. who has received medal from
the national society for his discovery
that mule power is stronger than horse
power.
No Mystery in Visit.
Prof. Pollard, who conducted the
roller skating rink last winter. arriv-
ed from Los Angeles this week. He
came to see a former pupil, Miss Rag
gle Clingstone, although he claims that
his mission here is to visit relatives. AS
he spends most Of his time with Miss
ClingstOne 1t is evident that she, and
not his relatives, is the drawing card.
Young fellows like Prof. Pollard don t
travel across a continent to visit rela-
tives, unless the said relatives have
lots of money and no heirs. Prof. Pol
lards Hopkins relatives have plenty
of heirs but no money.
Objects to Tainted Money.
Mayor Watson has challenged Bob
Mckay, both elders in the Zion church,
| to lawn moving contest on the church
| lawn, which needs it badly, for So a
side the winner to donate his winnings

accept wagered money for home church
purposes. but will have no objection
to forwarding it to the foreign mission
airy society for the conversion OF Afri-
cans and Asiatics.
