Ralph Armburger, while cutting
wood near his home a Hunter Station,
by misstroke Of his axe cut three-inch
cash in the instep of one of his feet one

Thursday night was perhaps the
coolest we have had this winter, the most
conservative thermometers In the place
indicating emperature four degrees be-
low zero, while some dropped to eight be-
low. Could we haye had few inches
more snow during the past two weeks of
cold weather the winter in this latitude
would easily have gone down in history
as sn ideal one after all.
Evidently Editor Bowen of the Biz
zard has gotten In wrong or has been up

he PAYS: "The man who saturates him
self with stale beer, before going to a
moving ricture show. should endeavor
to get seat adjoining that occupied by a
woman who has been eating onions. AS
like hegets like, ore odor may serve In a
measure to neutral'ze the other"
The adjustment of the recent fire
losses in Tionests and vicinity was
am 'cably and satisfactorily made last
week by the Arner Agency in this place.
The loss cn MIR. Rodda's house was sd.
justed Tor the full amount of the insur-
ance, 81 100, as was also that on the Kel.
lettville school building, which amounted
to 81 500 on the old building and contents,
and $500 for damage to the new building.
This Is prompt work, and speaks well for
the agency of Q. Nj. Arner Il Son.
