= Ackley, Oct. 19.-How would you
like to dream you were squirrel and
jumping from tree to tree and wake up
to find that you had jumped thru a
large window, taking the glass with
you? This is what happened to Will
Jacobs. Jr., in this city.
Mr.. Jacobs went squirrel hunting the
first of this week with two compan-
ions and they bagged twenty seven Of
the little tree climbers. Mr.. Jacobs,
whose home is in Kenosha, Wis.,, and
who Is visiting here, had never at one
time seen so many squirrels hopping
around in the boughs as he saw that
day, and it made such a tremendous
impression on him that he dreamed the
same night that he was squirrel
frisking about in the foliage of the for
est. He got up in bed and made two
leaps. The first one cleared friend
with whom he was sleeping and the
second one carried him thru the glass
of large window in the Henry White
side home. where he was spending the
night. The crash of the glass and the
cold night air awakened him and drove
all thoughts of squirrels from his, mind.
He declares that the next time he goes

TnEs-REPUBL1CAN MARsHALLTowN. IOWA: OCTOBER

The object Of this meeting was to get
out a petition to the school board for
the construction of suitable buildings
in size and equipment, convenient 10
the Third anc Fourth ward pupils, to
accommodate all with the necessary
grade work. 1t is thought that new
building replacing the old frame build
ing known for many years as south
school and ar addition to the present
Parker schco! will at least be long
step towards accomplishing the desired
end. In connection with this change
1t is urged that far more room IS
needed for suitable recreation grounds
at both Parker and South schools and
that the time to secure such grounds is
now while land can be had at much
more reasonable price than it is likely
to be in few more years.
