SHOWS MUCH ABILITY
Senior in High School Capa-
BILE Artist---All Self Taught.
Work Shows Originality.

Glen Dyer, a senior in the vii
lage high school shows an extra
ordinary amount of talent and
skill in art. In pen and ink
sketches his work shows an
originality and style that is sell
dom seen in amateurs. About a
year ago Glen started work in
oils and his results in that
branch of art are more than
good. His pictures do not show
the dauhed attempts of a begin
ner but have marked style oil
their own, making them interest
ing. Previous to this time pen
and ink and water coloring had
claimed his attention.
AS a cartoonist Dyer also has
decided ability. The literary
society Of the high school pub
fishes a paper which is read at
their regular meetings. For two
numbers he has been editor
and the sheet has created much
interest due to his decorative
genius.
While we know not as yet
whether Glen will follow his
talent and study art, we do
know that success in that line is
an assured fact for him ifhe does.
His work so far is all the pro
duct of his own ability without
special training, and should he
study art we hope to hear OF
him successfully in art circles.

irs of the occasion. About fifty
couples enjoyed the dance and
the hall was crowded with visit.

A BIT % NOTHIN'

A farmer by the name of Vim.
Teske, sold a load of wood to the
chief-of-police at Merrill the other
dav, which he claimed contained
three cords of 16 inch wood.
The chief made the discovery
that the wood varied in length
from 16 to 8 inches and was
therefore short measure. He
swore out a warrant for Mr..
Teske, who upon being found
guilty was fined $500 and costs
amounting to $1,000 and was
also compelled to return 81 90 to
the chief for short measure.
There is relief for short weights
and measures if the people only
go after it. And furthermore,
the way of the transgressor is
full of rocks.
