July, according to the size of
clothes pins, will be hotter than
either red pepper or horse radish.
Rhubarb pie made in July will
make tight shoes squeeze the corns
at ten places and compel people to
walk on their hands. This might
cause the rain to run down their
noses and drown them. 1 would
advise everybody to prevent this if
possible, because better days are
coming. Cyclones will also blow

about fire cracker time, and those
peonle who eat. sleep, and comb
their hair in the cellar will be able
to sing and whistle while the un-
fortunate ones are getting trees
and roofs showed into their vest
pockets with good chances of los
ing a rib or two.
August will be the dog day
month this year. There will be so
many dogs that the cats will be
ashamed to use the nights. 1t will
be wise not to drink pond water
after August 9Th. Those who drink
it are apt to not only get frogs in
their throats, but also tad-poles in
their stomachs. And a tad-pole in
the stomach is a miserable creature;
he is worse off than prisoner, and
dies in great agony. l say, watch
out in August or the Humane Soci-
ETY. will get after you! Around
the 18th of the month the water
melons will begin to swell on the
inside and in many cases the in
side will begin to swell from water
| melons. There will be lots of mel
on stealing going on this year which
, can be seen by the way red birds
are fighting each other. 1t is said
that when the old red bird gets the
nest material out of last years mel
on patch there will be something
doing in stealing line. This state
ment is based on the fact that lots
of me initiate red birds because all
they do is sit around and whistle.
September will come behind Au-
gust as is the case every year. The
month will be tip top from sun rise
to sun set and rain will fall only on
cloudy days. Fall will begin
to drop in about this time. and the
new size of pumpkin pie will be
predicted later.

Had Marrow Escape from Serious
Accident When Horses Became
Unmanageable.

Last Friday Sheriff Crees in COM
pany with his wife and son, Fred
die, drove to Kimballton, his wife
and son taking the trip for pleas
ure while Mr.. Crees went to look af
ter some business matters. On
their return home, near the Fred
Searles place, they found a bridge
in badly damaged condition. Mr..
Crees and the family got out of the
buggy and he started to lead the
team across. The horse plunged
forward and some loose boards
flew up, which frightened the
team. This caused the horses to
run and become unmanageable so
that Mr.. Crees was obliged to let
loose of the lines, they having run
him into fence. Mr.. Searles, who
was in the field nearby, ran out in
to the road and stopped the horses
before they had gone very far. The
only damage done was the break
ing of the buggy circle and few
straps on the harness. Mr.. Crees
says this is his first runaway in his
experience of over forty years with
horses. ses.-Republican.

Well, sir, here another week has
rolled around and every reader of
the Journal is looking for my pre-
dictions. I'm going to make these
during the coming year, and if you
order this paper now you won't be
caught in any thunder storms when
you take the apple butter kettle
from the woodshed, or the wash
from the clothes-line. It's easy to
make predictions here in Audubon

as mothers apron and the air as
pure as fathers chicken feed.

mock me again-read The Journal
as l do, We're going to have
some regular old side-splitting tales
for the next twelve months. Lena
says l should make them so sharp
that they will split her kindling,
too. Watch me try.
The month of May this year will
start out warm in some places
which is sign that the tempera-
ture will go up where the air isn't
too cool. 1t will be we'll not to sit
in the draft after May 3rd, as the
June bugs will show up at that time
and fly with the wind This will
make it dangerous after dark.
There is no telling what minute
the spurs on bugs ankle might
rub across your face and disfigure
you for days. There will be plenty
of moisture all through May, and
all the beets will sprout at both
ends. This will make it possible
for gardeners to hang the beets by
their tails so that the blood will
shoot to their heads and add to
their market value.
June will be the month of roses
and prickle heat. The way the
birds will pull feathers out of each
others necks will tell the innocent
bystander that the moon will shine
as usual, rising in the East and
setting in the West. If any chan
ges should set in they will be
brought about by the sun refusing
to let the moon pass without a
round trip ticket, but there are no
indications of this kind so far as
transportation managers are able to
Judge. The crab apple trees are

was played in the Athletic Park the
last of the week, when. the boys
from our neighboring town of Bray
ton crossed bats with our Boosters.

contested the game and every time
the pleasant genial spirit of rivalry
is always in evidence. Brrayton put
up a splendid game and we're a lit
tie too much for our boys who lack
practice. The score was II to Ia.
