touch with farmers needing help with
the idea of supplying the demand for
labor, SO far as possible.
Robert Stein, driving a Ford, was
run into and overturned the other
with his family, was driving south on
Third street and Mr.. Hutchinson was
going west on Second avenue. The
former says that he was paying no
particular attention to what was go
ing On at his left, but was on the
outlook for any approaching machine
on his right. Before he was aware
of it Hutchsnson's machine had run
into him and turned the car over on
its side, while the Hutchinson ma
chine was swung around SO as to face
in the opposite direction. The Ford
sustained damage to a fender only,
whereas the other machine came out
of the fracas with a broken axle. Mr..
Hutchinson said his brakes failed to
work when he applied them to slow
down rs he approached the crossing.
Local parties who have followed the
experiments in drilling for oil at
South Sbpre will be interested in
learning that the machinery for re-
newing the tests has arrived at South
Shore and will be placed in position
for operation WITHIN the next ten days
or two weeks, or whereabouts. A few
years ago considerable drilling was
done, but no one appears to know
whether good indications of the eX-
istence of oil were disclosed. The
machinery is said to have been in
adequate to meet the needs. 1t seems,
however, that Mr.. Weaver, who kept
close watch of the operations at the
time, is convinced that Oil may be
found in paying quantities, for he has
purchased expensive machinery and
is prepared, it is said, to spend many
thousands of dollars in experiment
ing.
Circus day has always been a sort
of terror to hungry people along
about meal time. The ladies of the
Methodist church will seek to over
come the difficulty in getting good
things to eat on this occasion this
year. They are making vast prepare
tions for feeding the hungry during
the moor hour, commencing to serve
at Ii o'clock in the forenoon and con
tinuing until all are satisfied, If pos
sibh. They will serve a 25 cent din
ner in the capacious dining room of
the church in the basement where
the atmosphere is cool and inviting.
Included with the hot dinner will be
ice-coid drinks, if desired instead Of
tea or coffee. Since the reputation
of the Methodist ladies for hospitality
is more than local, those who fail to
find entrance to the regular hotels
and cafes, or who prefer to dine with
the Methodist ladies, will be vel
coined.
