MARKET
SCREENING
(continusd from Pace ~

There certainly seems to be some
thing wrong when the city inspectors
can not make them comply with the
regulations. During the time I was
looking after the place, five or six years
ago. I had fairly good proof that one
OF the inspectors was accepting fish
and meat from the stallholders. As
this amounted to the same thing as a
bribe, I dismissed him on the spot. I
am not saying that any Of them are
doing this now. but someone should
see to It that they have those screens
kept down.
1T is a peculiar thing that whenever
either myself or Mr.. Charlock go down
there. there II a general scurry to lift
the screens down and put them In their
right places again. II simply amounts
TO this: II the city and county can not
control II. then we will send our men
down and also pass stringent regu-
lation dealing with the matter. This
latter power was given us by the last
Legislature. We are not going to stand
for any funny business. The work has
got to be done or we will take II over
and zee that II is done ourselves"

Because absolutely certain whereof we speak.
We do now and always have, made the richest and

Womans Club Entertains.

A goodly number of women dressed
in quaint costumes gathered at Watts
Hail on Wednesday afternoon for an
old fashioned party. Dresses that were
one time the pride of the owners heart,
now looking strangely out of place,
bonnets and dolmans that were bits of
wedding finery wore long days ago.
Danish costumes with queer little caps,
dresses made of rags and tags, Worths
latest in hobble skirts mingled together
in motley groups Old fashioned games
furnished pastime for the afternoon.
Prizes were offered for the finest cos
tunes and at four o'clock Miss Ella
Stearns made speech and presented
the prizes as follows: LIST. prize, Mrs.
Sylvester AIRY, End. prize, Mrs. Edward
Reuss, 3rd. prize, Mrs. Ed Finch. The
prize winners were requested to make
responses in the way that pleased them
best and the result was entertaining.
Mrs. AIRY made hit as a speech maker.
Mrs. Reuss sang Danish song so well
that the audience insisted ON another.
Mrs. Finch recited humorous poem
and in response to hearty encore gave
stump speech on "Womans Suffrage. ;"
Luncheon was served at five and showed
no indications of hard times although
this was called hard time party. A
half pound of carpet rags was the ad
mission fee to this unique affair. Over
thirty pounds of rags were weighed and
Tailed. These will be used for rugs for
the Babies Rest Room at the fair ground
of which Mrs. Wonsmos is the capable
matron and to make rugs to sell for
use in kitchens and bath rooms.

ing; let's get our heads and hands to-
gether-this is no time for tagging. The

needed now is but little exhibition of
that all-pervading energy for which
we've reputation and q get-together

For all the talking in the world will
not make roads the better unless with
words come deeds to show the spirit of
the letter. There's no use waiting in
vain hope of helpful legislation-we's
just as well get busy or that thief, pro-
crastination, will let us ride the bumps
and ruts and make US lots of worry all
summer long though we may ride in
auto, cart, or surrey. The auto-crank
and farmer both should share the heavy
burden. while all the editor may do is
sometimes put a word in-and this we
do with great delight and urge you
into action; get busy on the roads right
now to your own satisfaction. The time
is ripe, so are the roads, for systematic
dragging; it's no time now for further
talk or energy that's tagging. Elk

Miss stearns has Runaway.

County Superintendent Ella M. Stearns
had very narrow escape Wednesday
afternoon in a runaway from what
easily might have been serious or fatal
injury. She made drive down south
with the little white buggy team that
she has driven many times and was ac-
companied by Mrs. Gertrude M. Nelson.
When short distance south of George
McGills while on their way home the
off horse stumbled and fell to the
ground. In fioundering around to get
up the tongue dropped down, the horse
kicked and the team struck out on a
two forty gate for the county seat
Miss Stearns didn't drop the lines, throw
up her hands and scream, but wisely
held on with all her might and kept
them in the road. When they had run
a block or two she got them practically
stopped; but they started again and in
running a short distance kicked loose
from the buggy and ran up to ellis
place where they were stopped. John
Rendleman happened to be there with
his auto and Immediately ran down the
road to pick up the remains as he feared
might be the result. When the trouble
began Mrs. Nelson awaited right out
into the road and followed expecting
every second to see death and disaster
in the ditch beside the road. When
the scare was over and no damage was
done except to the buggy telephone
to the barn called another carriage to
bring the ladies home where they arrived
about o'clock.

A REVOLUTIONARY RELIC
Mr.. Kellogg OF Anita Possesses An
Interesting Old 0rind. stone.

Don G. Kellogg, now in his eighty first
year, is the great-grandson of Miss Sal
lie Fuller, daughter of Ami Fuller, of
Bennington, Vermont. She was nine
years of age at the time of the battle of
Bennington, August IS, 1915. She was
afterwards married to Saxton Kellogg
In the battle of Bennington some Hes
slams were wounded and were placed in
the home of Ami Fuller as a hospital
with one or two that were sick, nine of
them in all and as they got well enough
to do some work they were set to now
ing and raking hay for Mr.. Fuller
They sharpened their sycthes on q grind
stone that belonged on the place and a
good many hours did some of those Hes.
slams turn the grindstone there. This
old grindstone has been in the Kellogg
family since the marriage of Sally Full
Ter to Saxton Kellogg. Ami Fuller
present, and she later gave it to her son,
Charles Kellogg, who brought it west, as
far as Peoria, Illinois, shipping it with
other goods by the lakes to Chicago and
thence by team to Peoria. Charles KEEL
logg and family moved from Peoria to
Jasper county, Iowa, some years later
and the old grindstone was brought
along, and after the death of Charles
Kellogg his son. Don C. Kellogg, got it in
the distribution of his effects, and
brought it with him to this county and
has it now at his home in Anita. Mr.
Kellogg says that when he remembers
seeing the old grindstone first, it was
about thirty inches in diameter. but it
has been worn down by use until it is
now about eight inches. 1t has tired
the arms of good many boys, for the
boys used to always have to turn the
grindstone. Anita Republican.
