Another matter to come up is a
"nge of. location. 1t has been sug-
gested that the Grange meet in the
school house, and this question is to
be thoroly discussed, and possibly de-
cided upon. A full attendance is
hoped for.
Have you noticed the new hitching
rack at the Finley hall? 1t is not
only very useful improvement, but
it also removes one of the eyesores
II rather desolate landscape. We
commend the perpetrator of this i'm
provement to Brother Newkirk for
Honorable Mention this week.
We had just reached the point where
we could remember Henizelos, some
time since premier OF Greece, when

j. r. Ryerson drives a fiery steed
called Fannie, and it is only by the
exercise of unusual skill in horseman-
ship that she can be driven at all.
inc day last week Jack drove down
to Finley and Fannie seemed to be
harder of mouth than usual. When
lack went to tie her up he found the
reason, for he had neglected to put
the bit in her mouth.
Every cloud has silver lining, as
VIM. Jennings Bryan says, and Yer
non Ford has found this to be true.
; thought it pretty tough when the
wick commission men refused
20 take his cantaloupes, but since he
has discovered that all the school
teachers like them, ne has become
quite reconciled to the situation, and
really he can make two trips daily to
the school more easily than one to
town.
w. H. Allison found that the rocks
and bumps and holes in Washington
street were too much for his high
speed Maxwell, SO now, when he has
to go to town, he bitches a team on in
front Of the car and drives in that
way.
Some Of the farmers of the valley
managed to get in a vacation this year
and a few of these fortunate ones
found their way as far as Pasco where
they called on our old neighbors, Mr..
and Mrs. F. M. Cole. They report
them looking fine, Mr.. Cole even get
ting fat except on top where he is as
thin as ever.
Ernest Perry, the ". k. concrete
contractor, is acting as strawboss on
Joe Gerards' silo crew. He has per-
fected device for delivering the
sand, gravel, cement and water in pro-
per proportions, upon the feed table
of an ensilage cutter and running it
thru the cutter where it is thoroly
mixed, and then blown thru the fan
up into the forms. He expects to
save a lot of work and time in the con-
struction of the silo thru this inven-
ton, which is now entirely perfected,
and he is only waiting until he can find
cutter for rent. While he is wait
ing, he is working on device known
as an accelerator, which he expects to
attach to Joe's arm when he resumes
tamping.
There wasnt'much in the paper last
week besides the Live Wire Sparks
and a page or two of rather stale
jokes. Kiona came thru pretty well,
but Richland was entirely missing
again, as was also Brother Newkirk
and his new-founded Valley Club
Notes, and even Gardner was struck
dumb by the election returns. We had
a notion to pass up the colyum our
selves as we staid up all night count
ballots, but it was fortunate we
didn't or there wouldn't have been any
paper at all.
Joe Lee got up an unusual amount
of energy last week, and went out to
haul load of hay to the barn. He
On the load and then decided
it was too hot to work, so he unlocked
the team, drove them to the barn, and
left the loaded wagon standing in the
field.
