RUMORS OF SPRING ARE
AFLOAT IN THE AIR

ms spring opens as just about the
most rumoreSt season the Hired
Man has ever seen. Rumor has il one
day that It has been discovered that a
whole train-load of cement that should
have been put in Arrowrock dam was
diverted to another point and sand
Just straight sand filled in instead.
Then rumor goes on to tell how the
tiniest sort of an earthquake would
wreck the dam and send a deluge
down on the capital city forty miles
an hour and fill the Columbia river
mouth with debris from Bosses ele-
giant home and palatial residences,
hen the next day dumor tells us
that the New York canal is about to
lose three miles of its bottom. Then
tne old dame comes UP smiling with
the report that twenty years will fill
lake Lowell level full of dirt and
make it splendid farming land, but no
more irrigation water about it. Then
rumor tells us that with twice as much
water surface spread over south Ida
no and little more wire mileage with
high voltage and then we will hatch
out cyclones by the score and start
them travelling over the mountain
SUBMITS all about us, then to go tear
ing across the praries at forty-nine
miles an hour. Rumor is some fellow
indeed. She is He. She or 1t, as the
case may be, but she causes a good
deal OF bother all the way around. It
is rumored that the Hired Man is
one OF four or five genial spirits in
TINS region. first one OF them, then
another; that he is going to build I'D
a reading clientage and then name the
county officials next election. All

sorts of rumors go the rounds. In a
barber shop the other day man said
he knew that a certain was true. for
his hired hand had told him he had
overheard man say thai his wife got
it pretty straight from her neighbor
who had been told by her sister that
she had heard through her beau the
Sunday before that he had been told
by another young fellow that he had
heard man telling on the street cor
ner that he had been told by his wife
that she had heard at the tea. that be-
yond doubt the story was pretty
straight, for man had told his wife
that he had been told by a woman at
the furniture store that she had talk ed
face to face with another woman who
was usually very cautious but had, in
this instance, vouchsafed the informa-
ton that the woman across from
where she lives was telling it promis-
cuously as a fact and that nobody
had successfully contradicted it, and
that it is a current rumor everywhere
in that region and nobody doubts it
except some of the old Mossbacks
who are forty years behind the times.

Several months ago, a street faker

HOT iron

EXAMINATION SHOWS NO
BONES BROKEN.

The falling of a hot piece of iron
on his foot Friday night cost Edgar
Davis, an employe of the C. & G.
Cooper company, a great deal of pain
as well as inconvenience.
Davis was working in the molding
room when another employe passed
him with some very hot iron. Before
Davis could be warned to get out of
the way, the piece of metal fell on his
foot, Gripping him in such a manner
that he was unable to rise to his feet.
A number of his fellow-workers
rushed to his aid and had a physician
summoned who, after an examination
of the injured member, stated that no
bones had been broken and that
some very severe bruises were the
only result of the accident.

DIAMOND IS
RESPONSIBLE
For Deputy Mossholder's

TOLD HIM THE NEWS
OF His Release From Custody, But
Chose An Untimeiy Hour To Do
t-6heriff-Elect Has No
Love For J. Harry

Say ~. Harry Diamond" these days
to Sheriff-elect Walter B. Mossholder
and you'll receive dark scowl in re-
turn.
Mossholder has no love for Dia-
mond whose life has been just one
thrill after another, the latest of
which was his arrest in Columbus at
the request of the Detroit, Mich, au-
thorities for the alleged swindling of
a Detroit woman out of the sum of
$1,000, and his subsequent release
from custody because it developed
that Diamond was not legally respon-
sible for the Detroit woman's loss
Diamond, it will be remembered,
insisted that he would not be de-
tanned long by Columbus police. So
great was his joy that, when his pre-
diction came true, he proceeded to
apprise Deputy Sheriff Mossholder Of
the fact.
Unfortunately, Diamond didn't take
into consideration that night-life in
Mt. Vernon possesses no great al
lurements and people of this law
abiding city retire at sensible hours.
In any event, ne called Deputy Moss
holder after the midnight hour, well
into Friday morning.
"They did what | said they'd do,
nnntttu NTnccb nd a
telephone, after he had groped his
way downstairs through the darkness
at his home when the repeated ring
ing of the telephone aroused him
from his slumbers.
whats that?" Deputy Mossholder
queried, shivering in the coldness of
the room after a long wait until he
was connected with his Columbus
caller. Diamond repeated the infor-
nation, evidently expecting a cheer
from Mossholder. He received none,
however, but was sufficiently encour-
aged to start in on recital of his
life following his rather abrupt de-
parture from Mt. Vernon.
He was halted betimes by the click
of a receiver and Mossholder return
ed to bed. Mossholder is now snuff
fling, sneezing and the like, as the lit
tie conversation with Diamond has
produced first-class cold. No, he
hasn't any love for j. Harry.

Mayor Mitchell Erlick was given

An amusing characteristic of Erlick

he had counted out $3.50 he asked
the mayor to trust him for the re-

the mayors refusal to do so, "Aleck"
stood before him with a handful of
half-dollars and quarters and a
