The hum and, buzz OF headers and
binders is all you can hear now days
except the cry OF more help" Its
we'll the farmers wives haven't adapt
ed the bloomer style of dress or they
would stand in danger Of being round
ed and marched to the wheat field to
the tune of the headers, too.
Henry Homes pulled in from Tulsa
last Sunday, across lots afoot from
Frogtown to take hand in the har-
yesting and threshing of the grain crop.
lie will again run Dan Spidles engine,
Mrs. Hattie Dyer Is still very poorly
aside from the broken bones received
in the runaway. She received internal
injuries but just to what extent the
doctor is unable to state. Too bad
We hope, however, that it may not be
as bad as is feared and she may soon
be on the road to complete recovery.
Roy Adams and Grace Boyer were
Joined in marriage Wednesday night,
June 18th, at the home of the brides
father, Lash Boyer, OF Coon creek.
The young couple are both too well
and favorably known to need auy com
ments from the writer, both having
grown TO womanhood aud manhood in
our midst. Roy is the youngest son of
Me-. and Mrs George Adams, of Sophia,
and the bride the eldest daughter of
Lash Boyer, of Coon creek neighbor-
hood. May their welded life be road
of prosperity, JOY and peace. May
their life be benediction from above
and when their cup of JOY seems filled
to the brim may there be added a
little JOY to bless their declining years
is the wish of their many friends in
which we join.
John Gorden and one of the Kile
boys became engaged in a dispute Sum
day in which John received a stab in
the shoulder which is giving him quite
lot of pain and also disabling him
from duty in the harvest field We
are sorry that such thing will occur
but it seems to be the inevitable when
boys begin to quarrel someone must
get hurt before peace is restored. We
hope, however, that the wound will
soon heal and the boys having learned
a lesson therefrom will kiss and make
up. For it doesn't pay, boys.
Ralph Gorten's baby was taken quite
sick Sunday with spasms but was re-
covering nicely at last report,
We see in Kansas paper that the
young graduates from different col
leges Of that state were hieing them
selves TO the western counties to help
in the harvesting OF the large wheat
crop Of that state. Coald you imagine
a more comic thing than a beautiful
young lady OF tender years clad in a
tube skirt with abbreviated neck and
sleeves giving the college yell and try
ing to mount a header barge to yield a
large fork weighing most as much as
the charming young Miss herself or
gliding along home ward bound in their
elongated heeled tango slippers after a
strenuous day in the barge, But pluck
is the article that always counts and if
those sweet girl graduates start dut to
harvest, here is wagering that they
will make good Hats off to the girls !!
Mr.. Eddy is the first one we have
heard of to start threshing. Hardly
does the buzz of the cycle cease in his
field till the thresher starts.
Mr. Homes family will soon follow
him to old Beaver county and will live
in the Swan house. We didn't think
they could stay away long after living
once in Beaver county. They all come
back
A good shower would be of untold
benefit to the row crop right now but
might not be relished by the people
who have lot of wheat ready to cut.
While the row crop is as yet not suffer-
ing yet a good rain would do vast
amount OF good.
The Normaltes soon will homeward
fit, then will begin the rush for
schools.
Roy Adams and bride have taken up
there aboad with father and mother
Adams where they will be at home to
their many friends.
