QUALITY RIDGE.
CIV Sherm Haydenl

(By Sherm Hayden)
Pastures drying up on the ridge.
A very busy time this week around
this neck o. the woods.
Jack got BACKBONE 40 days; look
ed natural; picked up a few more old
clothes. The old dog seemed to know
him. He blew into Mikes, threshed
him and then down to Ernest's, then
over to keys, then home. Calcu-
lates to stay home until about Christ
mas.
Gilbert Mink is building an addition
to Jacks house, and while Gilbert is
waiting for Otto Block to build Chin
neys and plaster he is painting the
roof of the barn and say, when every
thing is completed passersby will have
to sit up and take notice
Len Allen is helping Wv again. 1t
looks kind o. natural to see Len back.
Chester filled silo Thursday and
Friday.
on the silo filler of Charley Kaap,
Will got caught in some manner and
broke both bones in his arm. Too
bad, Bill.
Ike. Reuben and Hagen threshed
the buckwheat Wednesday and a big
turnout for few little jags. Reuben
got Is blu. from two jags, key got
about Is blu. and Hagen 81. We ex-
pect to fatten the teacher on beans
and pancakes this winter.
Anyone wishing to sell a motor
cycle would do we'll to look up Clyde
Knapp.
Mrs. VIM. Pagenkopf, Fred and two
daughters were in town Saturday.
Fred Cooley of the north end of the
ridge, with his family and his mother
made flying trip to town Saturday
Adolph Wenzel and family were in
town Saturday.
Ike had business in town Saturday
Geo. Mccormick came down the
ridge Saturday. He was looking for
Lancaster.
The COVERS, Ora Welsh and Big
Jim were also up.
Robt. Behling was cutting corn for
John Hollenberger Saturday.
You can guess what was popping at
Hagen's Saturday morning when Sar-
ah Looked out and saw Hagen driving
ten cows out of her garden when there
were about thirty heads of cabbage,
half bushel of popcorn and two or
three baskets of tomatoes and about
two good Sunday messes of ever-bear-
ing strawberries. Vines, bushes and
all looked like one of those huge
blow-ups had passed through. Try
and don't get on your ear too heavy,
Sarah, and as soon as we get on good
sociable terms again we will promise
to put up new garden fence before
garden time again
Charley, Grace and Jessie Sunday
ed at Cooley's.
The two Sarahs made trip for
walnuts Sunday
Stife and Big Jim took cattle to
town Sunday morning.
News came that Arno Brandemuhl
is on his way across.
Mick took in the show at Bloom
ington Saturday eve.
Now for joke on Albert and Cas-
ey. Jack being in the pure bred
sheep business, Albert comes down to
buy Billy sheep. AS Jack was gone
Casey sells said sheep, Albert going
home rejoicing In a few days AL
bert returns with Nanny looking up
Casey for another Billy Now for
further particulars see Albert or Cas-
ey.
Whoever has got likes steers would
be foolish to give them up for that
SIS reward.
We often wondered why the barb
ers raised the price of shaving. Just
step into Jack Decker's shop and buy
a cake of soap and Jack will tell you
of every raise in soap since Williams
made his first bar. Kinda got it back
on Jack Saturday on haircut. Got
him interested and be darned if he
didn't cut my hair twice for 35c.
We saw Mrs. Sam Kerr from the
Hurricane and Mrs Writ Kilby, both
looking fine and fat enough to sell.
Writ is thinking some of going to the
army.
What was it Belva said not to tell
Sherm for he might mention it in
the paper?
