Andrew L. Reardon Of Clontarf
has invented loader for baled hay.
The invention consists of a sort
of automatic crane. which lifts the
bales quickly and with but small
fraction Of the energy necessary by
the hand method. The bale can be
raised to the level of the hayrack,
and, swinging loose from the
crane, may be placed wherever the
operator desires it. Hay men from
Minneapolis who have seen Mr..
Reardon's invention are enthusiast
tic over its possibilities, and pre-
dict for him handsome returns.

sleep with his head on or near the

but now of Mckenzie, N. D. In
the former place a cyclone came
along and swept away everything

Sunday afternoon looking in vain
for 'her.' The call of the wild,
coupled with their brilliant work
on the diamond, had proven too
much for her, and she was gone.
The boys have all banded together
for revenge, and as a result an
early frost has already struck Lyle,
and the matrimonial crop is in
grave danger of being total loss.
The Swift County Review fears it
is subject to fine because con-
trary to all newspaper rules it had
it's office windows washed. At that
rate we are liable to both a fine and
Imprisonment, for we not only
washed the windows but actually
swept down all the cobwebs, put in
clean towels and scrubbed the
floors. We trust our newspaper
brethren will keep mum about this.
We will promise not to do it again,
The l-itchfield council has Or
dered four sets of ball and chain to
be loaned to hard-up hoboes. They
put them on their feet again.
Strange to say, not single weary
Willie has applied for the loan.
