many minutes. according to the

it is not catching, but hunters are
apt to have touch of it once in a
while. So far as we know it leaves
no bad effects-except possibly that
you will cuss your luck for having
missed a fine shot.
Do ladies notice things2 Well l
should say they do. The other
morning as was coming down the
street Dan Corning happened to
come along driving Ungrodt's horse
which he had borrowed for short
rip down the street while his own
horse was engaged in making de-
iveries about the city. Two women
happened to be in front OF me and
as Mr.. Corning came along they
noticed that he was driving a new
mag. One said to the other ''welI
see Dan Corning has purchased
anothe horse. Must be that busi-
ness is increasing at his store" To
which the other replied well he
has been driving the old one long
CROUCH and it is about time he was
giving it rest" We understand
dear ladies that Mr.. Corning con-
templates purchasing new auto
truck in the spring and then there
will be no more need for worry for
old Bess" will nothing else to do
but feed on clover and grow fat.
A number OF the local merchants
have begun displaying new sleds
which is sure sign that winter is
near at hand.
1t is said that Fl. G. Koenig and
BeE Berglund have it on anybody
else a mile when it comes to taking
the part of ghosts. The other even
ing Hallow Fen party was in pro-
gress at the Methodist church,
being given by the Epworth league.
Every once in while passers- by
heard screams coming from the
church basement and there was
wonderment at what was causing
the ladies to scream. 1T was later
learned that Messrs. Bsrglund and
Koenig were conducting q
Chamber OF Horrors where many
uncanny things were to be seen. It
is said that the two gentlemen,
dressed as spooks. occupied
positions at the end Of long table.
Guests were taken into the parlor
which was but dimly lighted, and
the mysterious began to happen,
Fuzzy bugs climbed about on the
table, macaroni dipped in water to
resemble worms was passed about
and there was also an old glove filled
with sand, the interior of pumpkin
tied together with string. chicken
feet, a piece of cold dough and other
things that looked and felt uncanny.
1t was when these were passed
about that the screams would be
heard. One going by would think
that murder was being committed
but it proved to be only a part of
the amusement provided for the
evenings entertainment.
Some Ct the young boys of the
city who carried the Hallow Fen
pranks a little to far are now
wondering if it is not better to obey
the orders of the Chief of Police
The first of the week warrant was
issued for the arrest of number OF
boys who were charged with des.
troying property. 1t is always
better to be little careful boys and
think twice before you act.
The worth of the Farmers
Association to the farmers of this
