The friends and neighbors of An
drew Bollenbacher, Liberty township,
who is still in the hospital at Fort
Wayne, gathered at his home Wed
nesday and had an old time wood
chopping bee. When their task was
finished they left Mrs. Bollenbacher
sufficient wood to last her until spring
and it is needless to add she is feel
ing gratitude beyond expression to all
that lent a helping hand.
Mr.. Bollenbacher, it will be recall
ed had his arm shattered with shot
the first of the hunting season. He
was taken to the hospital and it was
hoped that skilled surgery would pre-
vent the need of amputation.
The kindly deed and forethought
of his friends will be a note Of cheer
and comfort to him while he is still
in a helpless condition.

POP BOTTLE
At Elk Banquet at WapakOneta
SpOlls Fun for Mail Clerk
Chas. Ellis.
[Wapakoneta Daily Newsl


Chas. Ellis, well known in Wapa-
koneta, having been a member of the
old Wapakoneta Reds base ball team
when that club was .nder the lime
light in the base ball world, was in
iured in most peculiar manner, on
Thursday evening at the Elks lodge
rooms.
Mr.. Ellis is employed in the post
office at Celina and came to Wapa-
koneta with other residents of that
.. ID he initiated into the mysteries
"nr III. lodge. After the work q
banquet was feature of the evening
and while refreshments were being
served Mr.. Ellis had the misfortune
of being cut above the right eye ~
glass, due to the explosion of a pop
bottle. He had reached for the bot
tie before the top had been removed
and just as he grasped hold of it the
bottle exploded He was struck
above the eye by pieces of flying
glass, The flesh was laid open until
it hung down over the eye and with
blood streaming from the freshly
made wound, it was first considered
serious.
Drs. Harry Noble and Roy Hunter
were present and ministered to the
injured man. 1t was found that no
damage to the eyesight had resulted
from the accident which was greatly
deplored by the members of the
lodge. The accident occurred about
IL p. M, during the period of the
social hour The injury is not as
serious as was at first considered and
Mr.. Ellis will very likely recover
without even a scar to remind him of
an evening spent in the Elks' lodge
rooms OF Wapakoneta.

The Fourth
The Fourth of July cele-
bration to be will have
served a good purpose if it
quickens our latent patriot
ism. America has come to
a realization that it made too
much preparation for peace,
manifested in soft living, in
difference to the great les
sons of the past, of the trial
and stress out of which our
country evolved and became
mighty. The old time
Fourth, with its death-deal-
cannon crackers and other
dangerous explosives, has
passed, but the other ex-
IRENE, the complete aboli-
ton of hrecrackers, so dear
to the heart of Young
America was too drastic, toe
sterilized and mollycoddle-
like. 1t took the heart out
of the occasion, stole from
the day its patriotic fervor,
The inspiring doctrine Of
unity and nationalism should
be preached on 1ndepend-
ence Day. The grown-up'
as we'll as the children need
to hear it. Let us make the
coming celebration as old
fashioned as possible, leaving
out what is positively danger
Gus and Objectionable, but
putting into it plenty Of
wholesome spirit, patriotism
and noise.

Teddy is a bitter potion to
the socialistic palate. The
socialists are for peace at any

phatic in their opposition TO

but when the wars fury

had to put aside their pro-

a hard jolt to socialism and

Bathing Season Opened

The outdoor bathing season
was opened Informally last
Sunday afternoon, by Atty. &c.
Kartack and John McC auley.
In company with several young
ladies, they were crossing the
Cut Bank in a buggy, at a point
below the Jake Williamson
ranch. About midstream the
buggy came in contact with a
large boulder and nearly cap
sized. The rear seat was
broken and the young women
narrowly escaped an icy baptism
The occupants of the front
seat, Kartack and McC auley,
were pitched headlong out of
the rig. McCauley landed on
his feet and Kartack on his head
almost-and his immersion was
thorough and complete. 1t
was with mixed emotions that
the party abandoned a pleasure
trip to the Reservation side, to
watch the branding of calves,
and returned to Cut Bank.
And that was "the end of a
perfect day?"
