An All Boy Hurt

Dred FinnelI ir. is all boy.
He tackles anything for fun or
Ia venture. His longings are
for a stray airplane to get in
reach>of his grab.
Friday after school Cal Hub
bard got his mustang headed
for home with the buggy full
of boys and two were standing on
the rear axle, one of whom
Dred was what. Cal exceeded
the speed limit down the street
and the joy riders enjoyed the
dash. Soon it occurred to the
two on the axle that if they
did not dismount they would
have to foot it bacs four miles
for it was evident that Cal was
getting up more speed instead
of slowing down and that he did
mot intend to stop until he reach
ed the barn lot at home. Dred
liked the ride alright but not
the prospect of the perambula,
ton from the country. He aim
ed to jump off but instead he
fell off, one leg was caught in
the rear wheel, Dred was whirl-
ed like a fly on an electric fan
and finally spilled under the
buggy. the rear wheels passing
over his anatomy at several
points of the human compus.
When gathered up, the dust
lcleard off his form and his raj
ment Strengthened out in order
to distinguish what it was in
side the bundle making such
|hideous noises, Dred, with a
broken arm, lacerated scalp,
bumps, bruises and bawls ga
lore were disclosed to eye and
ear.
The disfigured all-boy was
loaded into the buggy and rush
led to a surgeon who splinted.
bandaged and doped the multi
tudinous mishaps and Dred was
quickly put to bed. Saturday
morning he was about as usual
tho presenting the appearance
|of having escaped from the
trenches.

Left Tuesday

j. A. Schwalje, the best and
most popular baker we have
ever had, packed his collar box
and left US Tuesday for Kansas
City, Kas., His mother accom-
panied him and the good old

Sch waIje. by his close attention
to his business and sociable dis
position, made friends of all in
the community, and he served
his customers with the best
bread ever made here, a fact
which accounted for the big in
crease in his business. Schwalje
was a most industrious, enter
prising and expanding business
man and was supplying neigh
boring towns with big orders
each week. He was master Of
everything but his tin-lizzie.

bile delighted in rolling the in.

mud, water and weeds when
ever it faneied he was getting
too gay, but John came out
from under each time smiling
and determined to ride as fast
as he wished until he OF the
car was no more. Yep, John
stayed with her like a pig on a
pony and scatteration of all 9TH

place when he and the bronco

gret. in common with the en-
tire community, the loss of such
a good, all round valuable citi-
zen, even tho his departure was
for service in the army.

because. soap is becoming scarce. is
what economists are urging in France.
They estimate that a large amount of
soap would be saved if barber shops
were closed and all shaving soap were
requisitioned for washing purposes
only.
THE soldiers don't shave. Why, then,
must civilians and embusques shaver
they ask, and they strengthen their
statement by recalling that the word
''poilu." the accepted term for a soldier.
means "hairy one" The average SOL
dier let's his mustache and whiskers
grow rampant all over his face.
The Barbers' Protective Association
of Paris has done nothing as yet on
the matter. as they cannot believe that
those who are urging the prohibition
of shaving are in earnest. But every
day one newspaper or another pub
fishes letter from some reader indors-
ing the proposal to bar the use of
razors.
