PETER LAURITZEN IS
SEVERELY INJURED
Having Both Arms Broken At The
Elbows BY Being Thrown From
A Wagon Load OF Hay.

Peter Lauritzen, who lives about four
miles southwest of Audubon was the
victim of serious accident on Monday
afternoon which will prevent his doing
any work with his hands for long
time to come. They were busy making
hay and Mr. Lauritzen was handling the
fork on the load. Only the day before
he had examined the rope and fearing
it might not stand the strain replaced it
by new one, which must have been
defective in some of its parts so that it
broke and threw Mr.. LauritZen back
ward from the load. Had he continued
to the ground in that position he might
have struck on his head and broken mis-
neck But he realized the danger and
by quick thought and action he succeed
ed in turning his body and throwing out
his arms to save himself as much as pos
sible from the severe shock of striking
the ground. In doing this he struck
the ground with his hands throwing the
weight at his elbows which were broken.
Mr.. Lauritzen is son-in-law of Peter
Nelson of Audubon. Fortunately he is
well situated financially so that he can
lose the time and bear the expense with
out serious inconvenience. He will find
a large stock of patience necessary to
bear the pain and inactivity during the
process of healing. DR.. Rosenbladt was
called and fastened to give him the neces-
Sary surgical attendance.

BUILD A SILO.
And Save The Forage In Good COndi.
ton For the Stock.

We see by our correspondence from
Audubon township that three new silOs
are going up in that part of the county;
and we learn that q number are going
up in this community. We are pleased
to see the farmers make such an i'm
prOvement on their farms because they
will pay large interest on the invest
ment. And there has been no better
time to do it than this year. On account
of the dry weather the hay is light and
the pastures are dried up. So there will
be scarcity of forage and feeding will
commence early even if we do get good
rains in the fall. In discussing this
question of lack of forage Wallaces
Farmer says
There will be greater shortage of
forage in the corn belt and a greater
demand for it than there has been since
1901. We speak of this now because we
think every farmer should save all the
forage that he possibly can. The hay
crop should be secured and is now being
secured in the best of condition, but it
will be far short of meeting the require
ments. The corn belt farmer has this
great advantage, that he can fall back on
the corn fodder that he has allowed to
go to waste, and which will to great
extent go to waste this year.
IF he has not yet built silo, he
should build one this year. No matter
whether he is feeding dairy cattle or
not, he will find that silage will very
greatly help out the shortage of forage.
If he has not thought about it seriously,
he had better think about it now and
the sooner the better. There is no time
to waste. Sooner or later every farmer
who wishes to be called good farmer
will be obliged to have silo; and the
sooner he gets one the better. If he
cannot build a silo now, he should ar
range to take care of his fodder If
there are not sufficient corn harvesters
i'll the neighborhood arrangements
should be made to secure sufficient
supply. For unless farmers secure corn
binders and thus provide a supplement
for hay, the price of hay will go out OF
sight this year.

The Perverse Comma.

That curious and now stereotyped
blunder of punctuation which gives
US God rest you, merry gentlemen"
as an inferior substitute for the
quaint old greeting. God rest you
merry. gentlemen" turns up regularly
every Christmas. 1t is pity for the
ancient formula to be thus perverted
since GOD rest you merry or REST
you merry was a recognized form OF
salutation In EliZabethan days and
may be found in the works of Shake
speare and of many contemporary
writer's. while for the modernized
form, which obscures the original
sense of the phrase. there is. of course.
no authority whatever. If any one
will have the curiosity to look up the
old Christmas carol WHICH begins with
the words in question he will find
them correctly punctuated. = London

Sheets of Horn Protected the Pages

The earliest English book for chill
dren was "The Babies Book, or
Lyttl Report of How Young People

listed in Elizabeth's reign. The writ
ing was covered with a sheet of horn
in order to protect the lettering from
contact with dirty fingers.
The chap book contained most of
the familiar nursery rhymes and sto-
ries which have appertained to nursery
lore for generations. They exhibit
very crude woOdcuts. often daubed
with inappropriate color and the COM
monest paper as rule was used. They
were hawked about by the chapman or
peddler and cost only a few pence
apiece.
They served to perpetuate such IA
miliar ditties as Sing a Song Of Six
pence" which dates from the six
teenth century: Three Blind Mice"
in use. with music, in 1909; The Frog
and the Mouse" in existence in 1880
and Girls and Boys Come Out to

the honor which had again been con-

of the neighbors noticed smoke coming
from the house and raised the alarm.

Should Turn to The Right.

Many drivers of vehicles do not know
which way to turn when the driver of
an automobile, approaching from the
rear, gives the signal by blowing the
horn for half the roadway. Automo-
bile drivers are much annoyed by driv-
ers of horses turning to the left and col
lisiOns are often prevented only by the
extreme care of the man guiding the
automobile Drivers of vehicles should
always turn to the right, whether an au-
tomobile is approaching from the front
or rear.
