Damascus, Jan. 80.
Quarterly meeting services were
held in the M. E. church last Sunday.
Superintendent Murdoch was pres
ent. Quarterly conference on the
preceding afternoon. Rev. Murdock
preached at Calkins Sunday after
noon and Rev. Oliver filled his regu-
lar appointment at Galilee.
Mrs. Anderson, of Eighth avenue,
Brooklyn, N. Y, who, with her two
children, and sister recently spent
a couple of weeks with their uncle,
K. P. Johnston, has undergone diff
ficult surgical operation since her
return home. At last report she was
in a critical condition. While here,
Rev. A. c. Oliver chistened her two
months old son, Robert.
Fred S. Price recently had a very
thrilling experience though of very
brief duration. He had a drop reap
er which he wished to move from his
Z farm near here to his blacksmith
shop in Tyler Hill to be broken up
for scrap. He hitched a pair of
young horses to it to make the trans
fer. He was obliged to drive over
some large chunks of wood before
getting the old junk to the main
road. In passing over one of these
distractions, he was partly unseated
and in attempting to save himself he
threw out his right foot which was
caught in a notch that had been
broken out of the side of the drive
wheel rim and was being rapidly
carried with this wheel on it's revolu-
ton. To add to the complication
one of the horses stepped on board
which snapped asunder with a loud
report. This frightened the animals
and they spurted ahead, the wheel
carrying Mr.. Prices imprisoned foot
| down through about a four-inch
space between the wheel and the
frame of the machine. Mr.. Price
said he shut his eyes at this point
of the fracas, thinking his doom was
at hand, but maintained his usual
level headedness, guiding the ami
mails as best he could from his un.
comfortable position. AS soon as he
could find his voice he quieted the
animals and brought them to a halt
1t would be drawing it mildly to say
that Mr.. Price was frightened, for as
! he himself said, he was scared
through and through. He came out
of the mishap with whole bones, but
| with some sore muscles and SpraineC
tendons. His shoe on that foot plain
ly shows the imprint of an incl
square nut that was pressed agains
it by the wheel in it's circular mo
tion.

MOTORISTS LEFT
COLT IN AGONY
ANIMAL SUFFERED TWO HOURS

BY DEATH.

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 9.-After
running into a colt three miles north
of the city. a party of motorists left
the animal lying in the road with a
broken leg and continued their way.
The animal suffered for two hours
before a shotgun could be obtained by
a farmer living nearby to put an end
to it's agony.
The identity of Che motoring party
Is unknown, but O. B. Burtness states
attorney, is making inquiries, and says
thai II he can find out who drove the
machine there VIII be something do
ing"
Mr.. Burtness was informed of the
accident about 4 o'clock Sunday af-
ter,ioon. He FASTENED to the scene
but found that the colt had already
been shot. Their had been some de-
lay, however, owing to the difficulty
of finding a shotgun, and the animal
had suffered for over two hours before
relieved by death.
The colt had evidently been u
down by an automobile. 1t is sup
posed that it had come a long distance
as it did not belong to any of the
farmers in the vicinity.

widely advertise the sale and to make
an effort to secure bona fide settlers.
The club believes the methods of some
of the land dealers in charging exag-
~gerated commissions Is detrimental to
the settlement of the county. The
plan is to have all the lands listed
with the owner making what he re-
CARDS as a fair sale price, also a mini
mum price. If the latter cannot be
secured the land will not be sold. The
idea is unique and interesting and it
is expected to prove a winner.

The lin guist's S duty is to bring interpretations of orders and requests to the many different nationalfies which may be found among the sixteen thousand workers in the factory of the Ford Company. There are ten different tongues and fifteen different dialects spoken by Ford workmen. A young German who speaks duently eight different languages, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Servian.
