Frank Eddy, judging from an edi-
torial in the Sank Centre Herald, was
called down for attempting to dine in
a st. Paul restaurant without a coat
on. The capital city is getting ef-
fete. What bothered Eddy was that
the lady who complained was very
-ffashionably-and Ii htly-garbed. If
Eddy had had chance to get his mel
iAuous and eloquent tongue going, the
lady would never have noticed the
coats absence. Frank missed chance.

You will recollect your stating to me
that in the early part of the year you
refused to 60 on record as saying that
you would decline the progressive nom
ination if Mr.. Hughes were nominated
by the republicans, because you felt
this would in effect be a demand for
his nomination, and while you had in
advertently "sold the party gold
brick once you did not wish to run the
risk of doing it again" You also told
me that you we're very much discour-
aged over the general situation, but
that --"n intended to back Mr.. Hughes,
because you felt he was "a little, and
perhaps some, better than Mr.. Viii
son. You clearly emphasized the fact
that in view Of your criticisms Of Mr..
Wilson, this statement was not very
strong one, and you added the comment
that "perhaps after all he will turn
out to be another gold brick. ''-From
a letter to Mr.. Roosevelt by j. A. H.
Hopkins, chairman Of the progressive
state committee Of New Jersey.

Usual completeness.
Work on the new Pettibone city di-
rectory, now in progress promises to
make the best showing ever known in
thirty-two years the company's book
has been issued in this city. Charles
A. Pettibone said today that with the
canvassins two thirds done there had
only been seven vacant houses found,
and that fine gain would be shown
over the last book issued by the COM
pany.
A new city directory will be welcomed
by business men in this city, who nave
not had a Pettibone directory since
1914. Many are using II today. even
tho it is old, in preference to the last
city directory issued on the strength of
the 1915 census, and supposed to be a
copy of the census cards. Altho it was
thought at first that this last directory
would be accurate, those who have oc-
casion to use directories every day
have been greatly disappointed and
the book has been Of little value.
Mr.. Pettibone Is more than pleased
at the outlook for a good population

weary. He had not been long in ac-

and limbs felt the after-effects OF
marching.
Remembering Sloan's Liniment,
Jones applied ii to the sore spots and
went to bed. He writes: Il arose the
next morning feeling fine; in fact l
had entirely forgotten about the hike
and went out for four-hour drill in
the sun as spry as ever

Pumpkins Wanted.

We are paying 81 per ton to our con :
tractors and buying pumpkins not COW
cred by contract at the same figure.
Those who have not yet delivered
should bring their pumpkins at once.
On account of the good price being
paid this year, farmers in the smaller
towns within twenty-five mile radius
are taking an interest in shipping
their pumpkins to us. A farm wagon
can be loaded with two tons, or over, OF
pumpkin. 1t takes about fifteen tons
to make a carload. Our need OF
pumpkins this year opens up another
lucrative field of revenue for the far
mers at a distance from Marshalltown
to make up carload shipment
All pumpkins should be harvested
promptly. as season is getting quite
late. Phone las, or No. {. Western

WANDERED
AIMLESSLY
In Ditch Of Water Up To His
Knees
Into Which He Had Driven
His Faithful Horse
FlOundGred For Some Time
In Chilly Water
Refused Efforts OF Physician
To Rescue Him
And Was Only Pulled Out By
Main Force
And Was Only Pulled Out By
Main Force

Just how long a certain resident of
the outlying part Of the city would
have remained in a ditch in water up
to his knees and with his buggy turn
ed topsy-turvy, Is a matter of con-
lecture, but when the man was found
in this plight Wednesday evening
about 1880 o'clock on the Old Della
ware road, near the Lafever farm, by
a physician of this city, he seemed
very well contented with his situation
and it was only with difficulty that
the man was induced to leave his lit
tie ditch for more healtful surround
ings.
That the man was intoxicated was
selfevident. That he was awfully
drunk and carrying load that would
put two men under, soon became ap-
parent when he steadfastly refused
to abandon the cold water for warm
robes and the various things that
shut out the penetrating winds of raw
winter.
It was only by main force that the
physician and his driver could in
duce the man to leave his chilly re-
treat and, when lifted up on the
bank and placed on dry land, he made
several starts to slide back into the
ditch, but each time strong COM
mand prevented him and he remained
in reclining position until his buggy
had been righted, his restless horse
subdued and turned eastward, for the
man, in his befuddled condition, had
started home in exactly the opposite
direction.
1t was shortly after 1880 o'clock
that the man was discovered. The
white horse that he drove attracted
the attention of the physician and he
instructed his driver to stop. Stand
ing in the ditch and leaning against
his overturned buggy was the man in
a state of sheer responsibility and
helplessness. When asked who he
was and where he hailed from, he
mumbled some inarticulate response
and then violently resisted all efforts
to relieve him from his unfortunate
situation.
Gradually the story was worked
out of the man and it was learned
that he had imbibed too freely OF
barleycorn and had started home, but
the signs of the compass were con
siderably bothersome and he was
headed westward, although without q
complete realization of it. In steer
ing his horse, he manipulated the
reins so that the buggy was thrown
into a ditch where it upset. The
horse maintained it's equilibrium, but
the man was tossed out where he re
manned, revelling in the delicious feel
ing of cold waters on his ankles unit
the good Samaritan came along, right
ed his buggy, turned the horse east
ward and sent the erring one on hi
way rejoicing.
