Drove Auto Into Ditch.

Bert Woodard drove his Buick Six
touring car straight into a big twen-
ty foot ditch just east of Manchester
Bros. farm south of Leon Tuesday
afternoon, but escaped injury aside
from a few scratches. Bert was
driving alone, having been down in
Eden township on business, and after
passing the Frank Slade place reach
ed back in the car to get cigar out
of his vest, and a moment later saw
he was heading the car straight into
the big ditch at the side of the road.
He does not know whether he jump
ed out or was thrown out, but was
out just the same when the car stop
ped at the bottom Of the ditch, the
rear wheels catching on post at the
end of culvert. The car was con-
siderably damaged, and it was hard
job getting it out of the ditch. While
it will cost some money to fix the
car up, Bert feels pretty thankful
that he escaped with his life.

Some Snake.

John Baker, of Grand River,
brought in a package to The Report
er Office Saturday and said he had
something to show us, and when he
unrolled the package he sure had. for
it was the biggest snake we had seen
in years. He killed it in the road in
front of the farm of Gus Woodard,
near Decatur City, and the reptile
measured 5 feet and 3 inches in
length, and was five inches in cir
cumference. Many persons examined
the snake, but none could be found
who had ever seen one like it. In
some respects it resembled black
snake, but old timers declared it was
not, as it was lacking the two dis
tinguishing white stripes back of it's
head which they said were always on
a blaeKsnale. The snake was black
in color. with faint white markings,
diamond shaped, in the middle of the
body. Its belly was black and it had
a very peculiar small tail about the
size of a lead pencil which was eight
inches long, protruding from the
thick part of it's body.

one son left at home, who registered

Mr.. Parry came to this country
from Wales in 1881, and is staunch
socialist, as are his four sons, and
all are most splendid, lawabidfng,
patriotic citizens, all ready and eager
to do their utmost to support Uncle
Sam. The Parry family are certain

the boys have many friends who
trust they may all return safe and
sound when the war is over.

Farmers Attention.

Owing to the shortage of winter
wheat it seems necessary, as a war
measure, to list all of the available
winter wheat, fit for seed, SO that
those who want to seed wheat can Sc
cure seed without inconvenience.
Arrangements have been made
whereby farmers can list their spare
wheat with any bank in Decatur
county.
1t may be that bread will win the
war. A sufficient supply of winter
seed wheat is absolutely necessary.
Do your bit by listing the wheat you
can spare. Do it now as all these re-
ports must be mailed to Ames Cox
lege where the requests for seed will
be sent No doubt you will get lit
tie more than market price for seed
wheat.
Help yourself by helping all.

Bad Auto Accident.

Last Saturday evening Frank
Harp and family met with an acci-
dent that was quite painful but not
dangerous. They were going home
from Lamont and it was just getting
dark, when on the hill this side of
the L. Dickey residence they heard a
car coming back of them at pretty
good speed and thinking to avoid an
accident, as they saw the car had no
lights, they pulled over to their side
of the road as far as they could. The
car hit the buggy throwing all of the
occupants out, which consisted of
Mr.. and Mrs Harp and little baby
and Bertha Martin, they being all
bruised up more or less. They were
brought back to Lamont and Mrs.
Harp was not able to be removed to
her home until Monday.-Lamoni
