MRS. WILL WARD SEES
MONSTER IN HIGHWAY

ON Sunday afternoon. July IL Mrs
VIII Ward i'm company with some
other ladies saw what, TO them, was
comical sight while driving in Mrs
Wards automobile south OF Belding.
Mrs. Ward who was driving the car
says, While ascending the hill north
of Cannon's pond "A huge monster sud
proved to be an automobile driven by
the Underwoods. Fearing that the
driver had lost control of the machine,
applied more gasoline To get out of
the way then. slowing down to shift
the lever, which action was made
OF the hill, l was more than surprised
TO see this same monster coming faster
and faster.
II then applied the brakes and we
just simply watched the fleeing mon

car could not register the miles
Knowing OF the freakish pranks of
the tires and springs of this car we
We're very thankful that we had heed
ed the slogan safety first and had
kept out of the way.
Upon ascending the small hill to
State street the Underwoods Buick
with the Mayor i'm the front seat was
only a vision and had broken all re-
cords for speeding within the city

DEMOCRATS GET
IN THE RUNNING
FOR FALL CAMPAIGN

The democrats of the county are be-
ginning to cogitate as to who will be
the standard bearers of the party dur
ing the fall campaign.
1t is pretty well decided that Law
renee w. Smith Of Ionia will make the
run for congress in the eighth dis
trict which is where Ionia county now
belongs together with Clinton, Sagi-
nav, Gratiot, Montcalm and Shiawas-
see.
Mr.. Smith can be counted on to put
up a good campaign and one which
will be conducted in an effective man
ner. He is the present chairman of
the democratic county committee and
is the son of the late Judge Vernon II.
Smith of Ionia and brother of Hal
Smith Of Detroit.
For state senator from Ionia and
Montcalm district the democratic can
didate will probably be Ed. Highly, "a
prominent farmer of Ronald township,

representative from Ionia county dis

DREAMS AND CAUSES

OF the falling dream, the common
account is that IT is occasioned by in
digestion causing pressure on the
heart and consequent sending of the
blood with jerk, to the brain. The
ingenious idea suggested that it is a

falling from trees was common Incl
dent, hardly accounts for the fact that
the arriving at the bottom-just the
part of the while business that might
be thought likely TO have a lasting inn

dream.
An even more ingenious eXplana-
ton for this is that all the monkeys
that actually reached the ground
broke their necks, and so could trans
nit none of this experience. II is on
ly the survivors of fall, that is to say,
those that saved themselves by the
lucky clutch of branches, that has
handed us down the stuff of which this
dream is made. / fear me it is little
too ingenious. l can credit that every
monkey thus broke its neck on touch

heavy drinker. During the last two
and half years he has been drunk
nearly every night.
Q-What was there to indicate
that he was drunk? A-Well, it took
three different forms. Sometimes he
was entirely befuddled and dull; at
other times he was very giggly and
sometimes very violent; at times he
was speechless and befUddled, and
again he was very giggly and silly.
Q-What do you know about his
table manners? Ale would go to
sleep sitting in his chair. Even if
there were people there, he would go
to sleep and his speech would be-
come very unintelligible.
Q-What else do you know about
his habits? Ale became very bes-
tial in his habits, especially at the
dinner table and especially in his
manner of eating. l have seen food
fall out of his mouth. In fact, have
seen him before dinner take seven or
eight cocktails l have known
him to take twelve or fourteen.
Odd he always sleep at home?
Al have known him to be put to
bed at the house of a friend. His
memory is very bad, in fact he is very

Q-What has been your conduct

What L. the MAhsolute Zero*"

Two hundred and seventy degrees
below zero has, from theoretical con-
siderations, been known to be the tenn
perature at which all molecular mo-
ton ceases-in other words, it is the
temperature which a body will have
when every particle Of its heat is abb
stracted. The rate at which the pres
sure of a gas decreases as it is cooled
shows us that the pressure should van
ish entirely If the gas were cooled to
a temperature of 273 degrees below
zero. Now the pressure is due to the
molecular motion which we call heat,
and if this motion ceases it means
that we have removed all of the
heat; in other words, we have brought
the gas to the lowest possible temper
allure. On this account it has been
called the absolute zero, and scien-
tific investigators have been struggling
for many years to reach this ultimate
goal, for it has been a practical GER
tainty that many of the properties OF
matter at ordinary temperatures will
disappear, or become profoundly modi-
fed. at the bottom of the scale of tenn
perature.-Prof. r. w. Wood, in Har-
per's Magazine.
