Unless you have always used the
Blue Grass Hammer, you no doubt have
experienced more or less aggravation
with hammers the head of which would
mushroom, nick, chip, or crumble,
claws would break, and handles work
loose or break off.

A geological phenomenon Of more or
less importance struck theN spring at
Wall Springs on the fourth of July.
1t seems that the tide in the Gulf was
unusually high on the fourth, possi-
bly, on account of the anniversary of
the birth of our nation, and through
the subterranean channels commune
eating with the spring forced salt
water into its heretofore limpid depths
filing it to overlooking, condition of
things which lasted until the tide ebb-
ed again. During the ebbing process,
however, every drop of water left the
spring and it remained dry for about
eight hours. Then the spring seemed
to recover from its indisposition and
was slowly filled up again from the
land side, the inflow of water bringing
with it muck and quantities of vege-
table matter highly stained, together
with lithlum salts in a carbonate or
bicarbonate solution, with which the
waters of the spring were highly
charged for several days. Gradually
the water cleared and the spring is
now in its normal condition aeain.
This is the second time that Wall
Springs has been on spree. The
cause that leads up to its peculiar ac-
tons is a problem that requires sci
entific investigation. Possibly it's ac-
ton in going dry may be attributed
ito the prohibition movement. This
idea is not advanced as a solution, but
las food for thought for some of the
prohibitionists Of the Ecpmnlunity

Katherine Stinson, bearing greetings
and Red Cross messages from Buffalo
to Washington, stopping at New York

half million voices. A general pa
triotic pandemonium followed. The
air was filled with exclamation points,

DAYLIGHT BURGLARY At
mrs. A. G. WlNN FARM

The country residence Of Mrs. A..
G.. Winn near town was ranSacked
from garret to cellar Monday morn.
ing between eight and ten O'Clock
BY unknown visitors who called dur
iny the absence of the family.
The house had been locked, but
the burglars effected entrance
through screen door at the rear.
They went through trunks and suit
cases, bureau drawers and writing
desks-strewing the contents topSy
turvy over the floor-and even took
letters and papers out of coat pock-
cts and threw them around. All
that is missing. however. is S2.l0
in money. The burglars missed
finding about 500 belonging to
guests of the Wins who had left
this money in the pockets of some
garments hanging in wardrobe.
When George Winn went to bed
in his tent Monday night he felt Il
hard, square-cornered package in
the covers. While George is not
in the habit of seeing things,
he is not to be blamed under the
circumstances for thinking Of bombs
and such. He lifted the object
rather gingerly and carried it out
into the road, where subsequent
investigation proved il TO be nothing
more harmful than a box Of raisins.
How it got into the bed is among
the mysteries Of a mysterious day.
The only clue left by the burglars
consisted of some faint tracks in
the dust.
