Blue Ribbon
We need rain.

Fred + Tyr expects 20 start MS OIeSIi-
err on the w. t. Littlechild ranch
next week.
Thunder and lightning were GER
tainiy something fierce Wednesday,
but the rain was light.
Fred Flyr shipped out 10000 lbs
of old iron last week, but he saved
all the brass for home use
They say we will soon have Blue
Ribbon Daily. Well, we have one
now, only it is not in print.
Fred Flyr brought home a cook
the other night, so you can now stop
at the hillside inn and get a.lunch.
The hot south wind the first of the
week was damaging to oats, but des-
pite this fact oats will be fair crop.
There are none so blind as those
who do not want to see, and none 50
deaf as those who do not want to hear.
Some people would rather run
around hunting trouble than cut the
weeds along the road adjoining their
places.
Well, you may have to excuse US
next week as we may have to go to
work, so you can all take a good long
breathing spell.
Fred Mailman bought the Fred Flyr
header; T. J. Pickering the F. B. Flyr
header, n. Dockendorf the Beason
header, and Dave Atkinson the
Burkett header
! Mrs Chas. Trapp was called to her
old home south of Bunker Hill to
visit her mother who had her hand
badly crushed in a clothes wringer
that was driven by gasoline engine.
Joe Spena had valuable horse bit
ten by rattlesnake short time ago,
and though the horse was nearly chok-
ed to death, Joe saved him after all.
Rattlesnakes seem to be thick here
this year.
Grasshoppers are very numerous
and Obstructive here now. How
would it do to get that Taft and
Bryan steam roller to crush the weeds
and grasshOppers and thus moisten
up the soil. Some one try it.
How different some people would
speak if they thought before they
spoke. The wise King solomon said:
''The tongue is the revealer of the
heart" and the Son of God said:
''Out of the fullness of the mouth
the heard speaketh."
We found man the other day who
had left his weedy cornfield and was
driving around hunting for his rep
utation that he though someone had
stolen, but he found it all o. K, and
returned TO work feeling much dis
gusted over his ill luck
We have been asked to give an &C.
count of ourself for non appearance
last week. Well we had our memory
slightly Jared out of condition then
there was the Baltimore convention,
fourth of July, and the big stunt al
Los Vegas, n. NJ, so we had to be
excused.
VIM. PapaS and bride were given g
reception at the beautiful home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Spena last Satur
day night. A large good natureo
crowd was present and good will and
good order prevailed, and all had /;
good time, We all wish Will and his
estimable young wife a successful
and happy journey through life.
Our spiel had desired effect las
week; it kept things from gettins
stale; some relished it while some
thought it was a little too strong, i
made them cough and Sneeze con
siderable; but if the shoe don't fl
you needn't wear it, and if it does Fl
then don't kick; just rub littl
lemon juice into your head or live
and the sneeze will soon leave you.
We wish to serve few jingles thi.
week and here are some from til,
pen of Col. @. 81. Ellis-that par
which fits our case to T.
We are invited to write some lin
giles
But its not everyone that can do it
For their poetic straws will not min
gle,
And some other guy beats them to it
I'm accustomed to take long chance
And think you will appreciate this
In the face of adverse circumstanc
l am taking shot hit or miss
You'll find that I'm always dea
willing.
And anxious to try little stunts.
Though my Iingles may not be wort
killing
I've tho porvo 70 -, ,,,o-+ ,%,:
