HERE AND THERE.

We have an old pet COW which for
ten years has gladdened our home with
flow of superior milk. Because of
her cunning habit of hiding in the el-
derberry thicket we kept bell upon
her. In the middle of one night last
week / heard the bell ringing furiously
BY the sound could tell that she was
tossing her head from side to side after
which she would make a mad rush the
full length of the yard and back. She
kept this up for more than an hour. /
would sit upright in bed and listen and
figure out her movements by the sound.
| knew that it could not be flies nor
mosquitoes because il was one of those
nights when these pests were chilled
into inaction. l thought possibly the
old male hog had stolen into the yard
and was chasing her about as he some
times does. l was about to get up and
make an investigation when it occurred
to me that very likely ~ those Guthrie
Center panthers had wandered over
this way and were sulzing about the
barn. Then through an aperture made
by kiddish fear my sand leaked out and
wavered until suddenly the bell ceased
ringing and the sweet silence of the
summer night regained her thrown and
soothed me to slumber. When morn
ing came hurried down to the barn,
The old COW was lying there contented-
ly chewing her cud. When / went to
milk her as usual was astonished to
find that she was dry. She would not
give drop of milk. Thinking that
some tramp had MIXED her, / waited
patiently until evening when again /
was amazed to find her dry, and today
after week of persistent coaxing and
pulling at her dugs, she is as dry as
Kansas. Who can explain the mys-
tery2
While thrashing on the Grant Kness
farm Friday some damp straw became
wrapped tightly about the cylinder
bearings and started a fire in Cooey
Petty's separator. When smoke was
seen issuing from crevices in the blower
which was blowing the straw into the
barn, Bert McNutt signaled the engine
to stop then leaped upon the machine
and quickly swung the blower away
from the building. No damage was
done, but it took some time to cool the
machine down.
Because of the lack of school accomo-
dations at her home near Wichita, Miss
Helen Wilson, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Wilson, will stay with her
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Picking, of Old Hamlin and go to
school.
In the capacity Of real estate agent
K. j. Petersen accompanied number
of homeseekers to Minnesota Monday,
where glowing opportunities are said
to be to the man of limited means.
We understand that Marion Jones
has bought of III. G. Rice the eighty
acre farm on the Hamlin- Leroy line
which Mr.. Rice bought of Geo. Davis
two years ago.
Peter r. Nissen put a very pretty
new fence about his residence and re-
arranged his driveway SO as to add to
the beauty of his premises.
The Misses Wilma and Gretchen
McNutt of near Ross. spent the latter
part of the week with their aunt, Mrs.
Grant Kness near Hamlin.

school house Saturday and getting il in
readiness for Miss Ethel Gray to begin
teaching Monday.
Nels Christensen of Greeley, dumped
a bunch of fine hogs on the Hamlin
market.

LINCOLN AND FIsCUS

The reliability of many insurance
companies has recently been proven |
since the adjustors have been inspecting
the damage done by wind and hail in
the storm of few weeks ago Some |
farmers received full payment for the
damage done while others received
little or nothing Some received
full value while neighbors resid-
ing across the road and having
insurance il. other companies received
very small unsatisfactory amounts
The writer knows of one farmer whose
damage was adjusted at twenty i've
per cent while a neighbor having corn
across the road received nothing. From
above it appears that crop insurance is
gamble for results. To remedy this
is difficulty, although it could be
altered in more substantial manner
The general assembly could pass a law
giving the governor power to appoint
insurance adjustors on non-partisan
basis, one adjustor to each county.
Each county should then be allowed to
choose definite number of sub-adius-
tors tn aid the real adjustor. These
adjustors should be men not connected
with any insurance company and
should be wholly disinterested. All
companies should then be required to
abide by these adjustments or go out of
business. Any adjustor accepting a
Doodle or working to the interest OF any |
company should be arrested and heavily !
fined or sent to prison. The above sort !
of law would not be absolutely perfect, |
no law is perfect, but it would be far
better than the present one which allows
insurance companies to have things
St1nh la ~
first seem strange and irconvenient, |
but believe the day is not far distant |
when our general assembly will pass a
law very similar to the above.

ter the talk on the stage has not been
in the least bit more scintillating than
what was heard in the lobbies he
tween the acts. The general standard
OF the audiences talk was rather higher
in some instances. Naturally nobody
laughs and the author wonders why
his lines should fail to arouse the
amusement of the spectators.
Certainly" he will say to himself
and probably to as many others as will
listen to him. my lines are no worse
than Smiths and they are just as brill

ters not in the least in what verbal
form the conversation Of the characters
is moulded. The mere dramatis pose
of the situation makes every speech

amusing. Certainly it is many times
more entertaining than the wittiest

author.
Perhaps the humor OF character Is
the most effective next to that which
arises from the situation back of the
