W. w. JOHNSON AFRAID
OF SPEED

Since w. w. Johnson has pur'
chased an automobile. strange tc
say, he has become less sporty
than he used to be. He invited the
Senior Editor of the Ledger, James
Roy and J.. d. Mckee to take a
spin" with him in his fine new
auto one day this week. 1t was about
noon, the hottest day of the year.
It took him ten minutes by the watcl
to go once around the public square.
Mr.. Johnson made no explanation
except to say that he had been no
titled by Chief of Police Brown that
he would be given the limit at the
City Hall IL he exceeded the speed
limit on the street" His guests en-
joyed a Turkish bath during the ride
with no cost.

posed Of satisfactorily. "The grass
is looking green and fresh, and
don't think that oats or wheat are
hurt very much. There are certain

will continue all summer fully as
