THE JOLLY FARMERS CLUB
Tune: Yankee Doodle

Words by Mr.. Bert Amidon, Plain
view, Minnesota, a member Of the Six
Oaks Pleasant Valley Farmers Club.
The sun is sinking DER the hill, @
The evening bells are ringing,
And through the air so cold and still,
We hear glad voices singing,
The farmers club, the farmers club,
The great association
We're going to make our farmers club
The best one in the Nation
The chap who goes to see the show,
That costs about dollar,
Just gets a chance to spend his dough,
And wear a stand-up collar,
The farmers club, the farmers club,
It will not take your wages,
But you will get more enjoyment there
Than on the city stages.
The lectures in the city hall,
The sayings and the speeches
Have nothing to compare at all
With things that nature teaches.
So come and join our jolly club,
Ye sturdy sons Of labor,
Oh! Come and join our happy crowd,
Yes, come and bring your neighbor.
And now let's give ringing cheer,
For this association,
Let every member who is here
Join in the demonstration,
Hail to our farmers club,
Hurrah! for Minnesota!
The greatest club, the grandest State
From Maine to North Dakota.
Have you something to sell? Use
The want ads.

n On Friday June 9TH, the Angus

year of work under the direction Of
Miss Anna Shaw Of Warren and Miss
Nellie King Of Euclid.
The customary annual picnic was
held at the Oberg farm east of town,
being largely attended by parents,
children and friends.
On account Of the rain the bount-
iful and tasty picnic dinner was serv-
ed under cover. Later in the day a
tug-of-war and various races were
held; these being enjoyed by all.
About five o'clock every one present
was again served to ice-cream and
cake, shortly after which all the pic
nickers returned to their respective
homes, having enjoyed one Of the
greatest events of the season.
1t is regretted that Miss King will
not resume her work here next fall,
having accepted position as princi-
pal of the Euclid school,

In response to the following invita-
ton, which in each case was accom-
panied by a silk stocking, goodly
number gathered at the Guild Hall in
st. James church last night:
This little sock we send to you
Is not for you to wear,
But count the years that you are old,
And place therein with care.
In gold, or silver, or in cents,
One penny for each passing year.
We hope that you are not too young,
And yet not very old.
Because, you see, we need the coin
To aid our duties manifold"
None of those present came bare
footed" and many who could not
come forwarded their socks well fill.

DAMAGES ARE ASKED
M. & st. L. Ry. Made Defendant In
Two Different Suits.

The Minneapolis & ST. Louis Rail-
way Company is made defendant in
two petitions filed with the clerk of
ages are demanded by the plaintiffs
in the aggregate sum of $10,500.
Damages in the sum of $4,000 are
asked by Arthur S. Shaw, administra-
tor of the estate of George A. Spare,
deceased, for the death of the plain
tiff's intestate, who was killed in a
collision between a train and light
engine near Odds, Iowa, on March 81,
1914. Spare was an engineer in the
employ of the defendant railroad and
was on the light engine. The plain
tiff alleges in his petition that the de-
PENDANT company negligently failed to
provide a conductor or pilot for the
engine and that this was a proximate
cause of the death of Spare. He
further AYERS that the fireman on the
engine was young and inexperienced
and, lastly, states that the agent at
Odds, for whose actions the defendant
is alleged to be responsible, told the
deceased engineer that the west
bound train had arrived at Olds and
the track was clear east of that sta
ton. The petition alleges that the
| light engine had gone but a short dis
lance east of Odds when the west
! bound train struck it. Mccoy
Mccoy are named as attorneys for
the plaintiff.
In the second petition, Theresa L.
Martin, manager of theatrical
troupe, demands $500 from the de,
PENDANT company for the failure of it's
agents to transport certain trunks
from Oskaloosa to Marshalltown on
scheduled time. She says that the
trunks were nearly thirty in number
and contained the costumes, etc, of
her company. She checked them
from Oskaloosa to Marshalltown on
August 80, 1914, over the defendants
road, and she says that the agents of
the road agreed that the trunks would
reach Marshalltown in time to catch a
certain train over the Northwestern
to Cedar Rapids. They did not get
there in time, so she alleges, and the
show was unable to open in Cedar
Rapids as scheduled Mccoy & Nc
Coy are also attorneys for the plain
tiff in this suit, Both cases will go
on the calendar for the February
term.

THOMAS EXONERATED
Judge Talbot Directs A Verdict In
Favor of Defendant.

A motion to direct verdict for
the defendant in the case of State
VS., Fred L. Thomas was sustained
| by Judge Talbot in district court
yesterday afternoon. The motion was
introduced by the attorneys for the
defense Immediately after the state
had finished introducing testimony
and had rested. Nearly thirty wit
.nesses were heard during the day on
behalf of the state and practically all
the evidence given in an attempt to
establish the guilt of the defendant
was Circumstantial. In accordance
with the instructions of the court,
the jury returned a verdict finding
the defendant not guilty, and he was
ordered discharged from custody.
Thomas was charged with setting
fire to a building. at Lakonta for the
purpose of defrauding the insurers.
The building was owned by G. J.
Thomas and occupied by the defend
ant, Fred l.. Thomas and F. M. Lit
tlejohn. The fire occurred on Aug
ust 80. 1914. ."
Judge Talbot adjourned court yes
terday afternoon until Monday at
$50 p. m. and the jurors were ex
cused until that time. The first case
set for hearing next week is that of
State VS.. Elyca Scales, in which the
defendant, a colored fellow, is ac-
cused of breaking and entering a
hotel at Buxton and carrying, off a
cash register containing about fifty
dollars in cash. This is the last OF
the criminal assignment for the term
and the civil dOckat will again no
taken up some time next week.

FIRE At KNOXVILLE
Former Oskaloosa People Sustain A
Serious Loss.

Knoxville Journal; The H. J. Town,
ley iewelry store and living, apart.
ments in Business Row" on West
Main street, were very badly ruined
the household goods almost a total
loss-in a fire which occurred at $3.50
O'Clock Tuesday morning, and is sup
posed to have originated from flue.
That part of the household goods not
burned was badly damaged by smoke
and water, all probably rendered use
less. The main damage to the front
room or store apartment, resulted
from the heat cracking the costly
show cases. None of the glass was
completely broken out, consequently
the damage to stock is probably small.
The main fire was in the living room,
which was completely Quilted, the
flames and heat extending along the
ceiling to the front room, running the
frescoing and scorching the paint OF
the woodwork. ..
The fire doubtless originated from
a partition wall flue, which accommo-
dated not only the two stoves in the
Townley apartments, but also those
of the Mathew Adey restaurant. The
Townleys had no fire except in the
hard coal burner, which could not
possibly have been the cause. The
supposition is that the early morning
fire started in the restaurant fired the
SCOT and that the gas thus generated
exploded, disconnecting the stove
pipes in the Townley rooms. Both
pipes entered the combination flue
with a "wish-bone" connection near
the point of entrance at the thimble
in the wall The supposition that
burning SCOT was the cause is based
on the fact that the several lengths Of
stove pipe on the Townley soft coal
burner we're white hot when the fire.
men entered and there had been no
fire in that stove on the morning in
question. 4
Mr.. and Mrs. Townley were at the
Rock Island depot when the fire oc-
Cured, Mrs. Townley starting for a.
visit in Oskaloosa, and were called
back to their home before the fire had
been extinguished. The Townley
store was one of the neatest in the
city and all good citizens will deplore
the losses sustained by these good
people. a.

MUCH SMOKE, NO FIRE
Fuel In Heaters Cause An Unusual
Amount Of Fumes.

Great tons. of smoke, so it seemed
pouring from the doors, windows and
every other opening of the r. X.
Davis building, 1929 High avenue
east, gave passers-by the impression
that the interior was on fire. An
alarm was turned in. The firemen
had difficulty in getting into the build.
ing on account of the density of the
fumes. r.s.
A couple of coke braziers had been
placed in the big room to furnish
heat. The fuel was not what it should
have been for dense clouds of smoke
were caused. Any one seeing the
smoke rolling out would have been
justified in the supposition that the
whole place was on fire. The fire
department lads thought so until
they made careful investigation of
the cause.
