ADVISES AGAINST ATTIC
OFFICES IN CITY HALL
Building Superintendent Declares the
Rooms Would Have to Be Lighted
ArtificiaIIy All the Time

]. ]. Backus, superintendent of build
ings, will submit report to the city
council today in which he will suggest
the plan to construct more office rooms
in the attic of the city hall be aban-
doned.
In his report Mr.. Backus says such a
plan has been proposed a number of
times, but each time has been given up
as impractical. Six or ~eight rooms
could be made in the attic but only
one of them would have daylight, and
the others would have to be lighted
artificially all the time.

The remains of Miss Ada Rothe were
laid at rest Monday afternoon at Deer
field, Rev G G Krostu officiating. She
died of consumption at the home of her
sister, Mrs Norman Lund, the wife of
a druggist at Huron, S D, where she
spent her last month on earth. Ada

The livery barn belonging to Albert
Nelson of Cottage Grove was COM
pletely destroyed by fire on Friday af-
ternoon of last week, as was also the
hay and grain and two horses. The
origin of the fire is complete mystery.
The hotel building, which is located
only a few rods from the barn, had a
narrow escape and was saved only by a
great effort on the part of the citizens
who turned out in body and formed a
bucket brigade and by constant wetting
prevented the hotel from catching fire.
Had there been strong gale blowing
as on the two days previous, there is
no doubt but that the entire south side
of the Grove would have been wiped
out. Mr. Nelson's loss was only par
tally covered by insurance.

Peculiar Superstitions.

The people Of Kulu are extremely
superstitious and go in extensively for
demonolatry. Many trees are held to
be sacred and have tiny temples dedi-
Gated to them. The demons are popu-
larly supposed to live at the tops of
trees. and if a tree falls in such way
that it is possible to pass under il. as
is often the case on the mountain sides.
every man before going beneath the
trunk will place on it stick or stone
to propitiate its guardian spirit. Ger
tain streams are also sacred. and no
one is. allowed to wash dirty clothes
in them. One year some strangers
came into the valley and happened to
pollute the water of a river in this
manner. 1t CHANGED TO be year of
extraordinary rainfall. and the peo-
pie implicitly believe that the ex
cessive rain was sent by the outraged
''deota" of the stream as punishment.

"A clever arrangement of paint cans
and appropriate advertising material
form the basis of an exceedingly at
tractive window in P M. Ellingson S
store this week. A special feature of
the display is set of old weather
beaten carriage spokes with half of the
surface of the spokes treated to one
coat of Acme Quality Carriage Paint
each spoke showing different color of
the paint The following statement is
made on one of the display cards: ssYou
can make your old buggy look new for
dollar by the use of this paint !"
With this suggestion and the very small
outlay necessary, we are sure that all
of the shabby vehicles in this territory
will Immediately take on new APP
pearance. Besides being good for all
kinds of vehicles, attractive display
signs illustrate in colors great many
other uses for this wonderful paint in

creditable one and well worth inspect

DID THE MOON DO IT?
Local Weather Sharks Who
Prophesied Wet Spell Took
Their Hunch From
Luna.

About two weeks ago a slender
new moon appeared in the western
sky, standing up on one of it's
horns, and we heard the old Indi.
an sign discussed very plentifully,
as that was the first time for quite
a while that fair Luna had taken
the trouble to tip herself far en-
ough either way to commit herself
on the weather question. ut will
be dry month" we heard some
say, when the new moon tips up
on one end you can be sure there'll
be little or no moisture till the
next new moon. Position shows
it plain as day-tipped up that
way, all the water spilled out, YOU
see. Look out for dry weather"
About the time one of these
cheerful beings had finished his
monologue another would open up
about as follows: WET month
sure. See the new moon tipped
up on end-all water spilled out
see? Means WE'LL get the water.
Never fails, you know. Look for
a rainy August.
Well we know what it meant
this time, whether that will answer
for the next or not. If anyone re-
members an August in these parts
when the farmers were kept out of
their fields by the mud, we have
not met him yet. Since August
1st there have been five heavy
rains, not to speak of light local
showers, and the one Saturday
night was heaviest of all. The
ground is just now getting dry en-
ough again for blowing, and the
creeks are all full. Corn-why
you can see the ears filling. 1t
will be one of the best crops in
many years, you may bank on
that No, there's no complaint be-
cause of too much rain, or at any
rate we haven't heard any. But
there is much and great wisdom as
to the ways of Our old college
chum, Luna, as weather prophet.
Next time you see a new moon
standing on end re-shingle the roof
and get in all the frewood, for if
history repeats itself there'll be ex-
ceedingly damp times in the next
twenty-eight days.

Thresher Stuck in Ford.

Jasper Rice bumped into piece
of petrified luck last Friday in at
tempting to cross Coon creek at
the Merrell ford, just northwest of
town, with his threshing machine.
It's rather treacherous ford at
best, and the thresher stuck when
a little over half way across, and
nothing could budga it, apparent
ly. Mr.. Rice was forced to leave
both engine and thresher in the
water Friday night, nor did
hard days work Saturday succeed
ed in getting them ashore. Then
Saturday evening came that hard
rain, and there was no hope of ac-
complishing anything till the
water subsidized. The creek rose
almost over the top of thethresher,
which is bound to have suffered
considerable damage from the
swelling of its wooden parts.
At last reports Mr.. Rice hadn't
succeeded in getting his property
to land and it is still at the mercy
of Coon creek
