BY the time that we had got out into
the open beyond the two small clouds
Payton had completed his turn and
re-entered the large cloud Keeping
to the left as soon as he was within

finally emerged, only to dodge behind
the other small cloud.
He was evidently master of
strategy.
Here he ran the only serious risk of
discovery during the entire maneuver.
for If we had returned more promptly
we might have been Just in time to
catch sight Of him as he passed the
opening between the clouds.
But we were too late. and while the
Osprey was dashing headlong on her
return through the large cloud the
Chameleon rounded the small one and
was Off ut full speed in exactly the
opposite direction. No sooner was the

Corn husking stories have
become so numerous this winter
as to cause the Guthrie Center

just six bushels to that ard

will make twenty bushels per
hour, one bushel every three
minutes. There are on an av-

in one minute, he husks 40 ears
AS sixty seconds make a minu-

Logan is Low on Water.
The Observer has no desire
to terrorize people, but it is just
as Well for all OF Logan Pc ople
to knoH that we are having
right now serious shortage of
water. Everyday both of the
wells in use at the pumping
plant are emptied to the last
p 'ssible drop, and at the reser-
volr has not been filled for Sc w
e'al days, about nine feet being
the most it has been able to get
into it. Our people, will have
no difficulty in seeing the dam
gerous predicamens the town
will be in case of a bad fire, and
so it seems no more than right
that there should be a very
careful use of water, not vast
ing any, and also there should
be a most careful watch for
possible fires. AS we stated in

After the feast, Prof. Bever-
idge of Council Bluffs arose
and announced himself as toast
master for the evening. He
gave a very interesting and in
structive review Of what Miss
ouri Valley has accomplished
in the past and especially what
has been accomplished in the
past few years and finally led
up to the library question. He
proved that a library is one Of
a city's best assets and that we
could not afford to house our
library in anything but the
pest building obtainable. He
next introduced Judge Deemer
who talked along the same line,
showing what has been accomp-
lished by literature and what
may be accomplished in the
future by the cultivation of the
mind in the Public Library
Judge Deemer is a very force
full talker and his arguments
were undisputable. AS he said,
he has been connected with
libraries the geeater portion of
his life and knows whereof he
speaks. His closing argument
was that each man who has
the welfare and advancement
of his children or fellowman at
heart should donate literally
toward our new library building
if it is found necessary to call
on the public to raise funds for
the completion of the building.

One Of the arguments used
against the Oregon plan of elect

a democrat from Iowa. "While
we know that would be bad,
yet there might be things worse

the democrats have; if republic
