Some Hail Storm


Lake Odessa.-The sound of a sud-
den deluge of hailstones Saturday af-
ternoon resembled bombardment
from a German zeppelin. At first
the size of the hail was that of BIB
shot, but soon increased to the size of
healthy walnuts. Ralph Corey pick
ed one up measuring four and a quar-
ter inches in circumference, and 9th.
ers of similar and larger size have
been reported. The storm lasted on
ly a few minutes, but pelted every
body to shelter, clearing the streets
completely.
AS far as can be learned, the hail
did very little damage in this vicinity.
A number of window panes were brok-
en- out of the greenhouse, and a globe
on one of the main street traffic signs
smashed; but the farm crops, which
are usually the most prolific source
of danger from a hailstorm, were not
far enough along to suffer greatly.

Burdock Substitute for Horseradish

hankered for horseradish and drove
tut into the country to dig a sup
ply of the roots. His wife had to do
the grinding, of course, but she re-
marked it was the easiest job of the
kind she had ever struck, as it didn't
start the tears rolling down her
cheeks. Mr.. Man partook freely Of
the condiment at the MONDAY meal,
but complained that the root didn't
seem as strong as usual, all the sting
being absent. Closer investigation
showed he had dug a lot of burdock.
He could have saved the trip out in
the country by going out in his back
yard and doing the digging there.
