Nice To Think About.

1t makes the printer so nice and
cheerful to think Of m coming
and the graduates making their hrst
step in the world, when you think
how careful you have been in writing
up nice things about the scholars and
how you have tried to have their
school happenings in the paper, even
If your tired ''force' is about to quit
and go to press and you grin and ask
them to slip something in for the
school kids. Then comes graduation.
You sit up and listen for approaching
foot steps, for you think you are go
ing to print the graduation programs,
butt mo chawnce Cecil" the school
board pays a certain percent OF the
bill and your faithful friends, the
high school students, send out Of
town for their programs. or course
It's perfectly all right with the print
er, he you know can't do things just
right for the ''sweet graduates" and
besides it's much nicer to have your
work done out of town, home things
are so common. When the Glass play
is over, the sermon spoken and the
Ratchet buried the printer prints the
class pedigree and the graduates are
off in Il punch.
We sincerely hope that when The
~ class of Canton high passes on In
this world and settles down in some
business, that one Of them will be a
printer tho hard feelings) and some
graduating class will hand to him
what the home print shops got this
year.

Grandpa Kerley is noted for being
a careful and correct auto driver,
but like any of the experts, his steer
ing gear will sometimes go wrong and
turn to the right when 1t should turn
to the left, and Commissioner Brand
hagen and street commissioner Payne
can bear witness to this singular
freak in some autos, because they
had a little experience in that line
last Saturday on the hill west of the
Fifth street bridge where they we're
looking after some grading. Grandpa
Kerley drove in sight headed for
town and as he began to come down
the hill Messrs. Brandhagen and
Payne stepped to the roadside against
the Syverud bank, and the auto came
ON until near where the gentle
men stood then it turned to the
right and overturned both men before
they were able to escape. Whether it
was the q%uicksand In the hill or a
defective cluch or an electric contact
that made that auto take a wrong
shoot will, perhaps, never be known,
as Grandpa Kerley is firm in his be-
lief that he ''held her nose,' to the
middle of the road except where the
grading made a twist necessary. No
one seems to be able to figure out
how it happened, and some OF the
easily amused gentleman are inclined
to make light of the matter. but
Messrs B~ranohagen and Payne say 1t
is no laughing matter, and fortunately
neither OF them got anything worse
than one would expect in meeting a
political steam roller or playing a
hard game of ball, while Grandpa
Kerley is afraid his reputation as an
expert driver will suffer. No bones
were broken in the encounter.

A Baby Cyclone.

Mrs. John Stauifacher had a surpris-
ing experience last Saturday on the
farm north of town, the old Leffert
farm. Among improvements made on
the place by Mr.. Stautfacher since he
purchased the place from Mr.. Letfert,
is a fine large machine shed and
storehouse. Last Saturday afternoon
while the storm clouds were threaten
ing trouble Mrs. Stautfacher went out
to the machine house to garner a few
eggs that we're discovered In new
nests. While engaged in this pleasur-
able exercise a baby cyclone dropped
down and picked up the big machine
shed and moved 1t of the foundation.
Nothing else was disturbed around
the yard, and Mrs. Stautfacher was
greatly surprised at the movement Of
the building as there was no noise or
evidence of a cyclone or even a storm.
These baby cyclones are but'arms of a
mighty power high up in the air that
shoot out until they find something
and then lift until connection is
broken.

Mr.. Bickel has been here In behalf Of
this project a couple Of times before
when he made Thorough researches as
to the practicability Of the project.
He is much pleased with his finding
and says that the condition for put
ting In a permenant concrete dam is
as good as there is on the Sioux River
and fully better than he had ant1ci-
pated. He is now at work making up
a full and complete report with plans
and specifications for the development
and this he expects to have ready in
about three weeks. Mr.. Bickel is the
Engineer that put in the dam at
DEBORAH, Iowa, that now stands and
which he built after the first dam put
in by others had gone out.

The prize fielding stunt Of the con-

the sixth and Rugged Chapman's fly to
his manly bosom. Eddie Fosters cat

After that opening inning Mitchell
got along handsomely, using a wide

Nationals able to fathom his delivery,

Johnston To Cover
Initial Sack For the
Maps Next Season

The Maps seem to have found a
first baseman at last in "Doc"
Johnston, who has been setting
things afire out Cleveland way.
Johnston made his big league
debut here, and the fans can
well remember the trick Shanks
pulled on him in his first ap-
pearance. Johnston seems TO
have Outlived the raw stunt
and appears to have everything
his own way, and is hitting as
well as the next one.
