some way got grain OF corn in his
nose last week while playing. DR..
Parks, of Tracy, was called and rem
dered immediate relief, but failed to
reach il few days later. Miss Anna
Top, one of our best girls, played the
part of the good samaritan and went
with the mother, who can't talk any
English, to Oskaloosa with the little
fellow 10 DIR. Windle, who located
the grain and took it away. They
