F. MACKINN0N'S
BARN BURNED

The fire departments were called
out about O'Clock Thursday evening to
subdue a fire that was consuming
f. MacKinnon's barn on the west
side. Just how the fire was started
is not known. The barn boy MIXED
the cow at ID minutes to six O'Clock,
at six the painters who were al work
painting the house repaired to the
barn where they deposited their paint
pots. brushes. etc and hung their
oyeralls on the partition walls. At
eight o'clock the neighbors discovered
the barn was on fire and when the
doors were opened the fire was burn
ing the overalls and running up the
partition into the hay NOW where the
fire was raging fiercely. The COW
was taken out and other articles of val
ue and the fire was not long in consum-
ing the building
How the fire originated is mystery
as no one had been in the barn since
the painters left as the barn had been
locked at O'Clock by Peter Stone,
the barn boy. Loss estimated at $500
covered by insurance.

PAID $500 FOR THE DOG

A good story is told on Will Gross,
the travelling salesman, who makes
trips out into the country with his
automobile. Recently while making
one of these trips he met farmer
who had shot gun on his shoulder
and a chicken dog following him, ap-
parently going to the meadow for a
hunt.
In some unaccountable way in
passing them, the dog was run over
and killed. Mr.. Gross stopped the
machine and realized he was up
against it. He had killed the dog and
the only thing for him to do was to
make good with the farmer He went
back after stopping the machine and
told the farmer he was sorry that the
accident had happened and here is
five dollars, (all he had with himl to
pay for the dog. Reader you know
Will Gross well enough to know that
he gave the farmer good talk and
$500 and promised to pay more.
Imagine Wills surprise when the
farmer took the s. and thanked him
saying. ''that he was just going out
to the near woodland to kill the dog
as he was no good anyhow" and this
accident saved him the trouble. Viii
then went on rejoicing. Ask Will
who the farmer was?

OUT OF THE RACE
County Committee Files the
Ames-LittIe Contest.

The Ames-Little contest in the pri-
maries for nomination for the office
of register of deeds on the republican
ticket has been agreeably settled, Mr..
Little retiring from the field. by
mutual agreement between the two
parties concerned the matter was lelC
with the county committee and IL was
no small matter to arrive at con-
clusion. as either of the gentlemen are
fittingly qualified for the position.
The vote on the question gave Mr..
Ames the preference, that gentleman
winning, no doubt, from the fact that
in the south end of the county he is
better known. 1t was the only con-
test on the ticket and meant a hard
fight if carried through to the polls,
at a considerable expense to both,
leaving the winning one then only
half elected. Mr. Ames at present is
manager of the Marshfield Bedding
Co. and during his long residence here
has always been foremost in all mat
ters pertaining to the business and
social growth of our city. Should he
be successful in the election Marsh
field will send to Grand Rapids one of
its most representatives families

YOUNG MEN RETURN
FROM DELLS OUTING

Earl Hill, Lloyd Miller, Alex Jones
and Walter Wood returned from an
outing at the Dells of the Wisconse
last Thursday evening, by way of the
river in the latter's gasoline launch.
These young men constitute part
of the Geo. Mead Sunday school class
who went down the river a few days
last week, the rest of the party hav-
ing returned by way Of the G.. M. & st,
Paul railroad.
All who were in the party are very
enthusiastic about the beautiful and
picturesque scenery, and the delight
full trip. The only drawback was the
unusually low stage of water at this
time of the year, which made it neces-
sary for the occupants of the boats to
get out and push their boats over
sand bars and other distractions in
the river at times.

something out of whack.


Ants are seldom taken by surprise
by the weather. With prospects for
clear skies ahead they will be found
keeping wide open houses On the
other hand if rain is i'm the air you
win find things pretty quiet around
their diggings
A lot of people who grow celery only
for home use could save themselves a
lot of labor in bleaching this delicious
garden vegetable if they would set a
drain tile over each stalk. Defective
tile answer this purpose well and can
frequently be bought at the brick
yard for d tune"
If some men clear the foul growth
and other refuse material out of the
watering trough once in three years
they think they are making quite a
concession. If some men did not
clean the troughs as many as several
times a season they think they would
be making a mistake

Isn't it singular how accident or
disease always takes the very best
member in the flock or herd?
Pope said: "Happy the man whose
wish and care a few parental acres
bound, content to breathe his native
air on his own ground" Truly so.
We are all anxious to get 100 per
cent efficiency out of our hired help
these days. A liberal use of the oil of
human thoughtfulness will help much
to this end. If it won't then there is
