The most amusing report that has
reached us concerning the supposed
end of the world on Wednesday is
that of the old man at Indianapolis.
This old man conscentiously believed
the world was doomed for destruc-
ton on Wednesday and had bought
from two men a reserved seat in a
church, where he was told congre-
cation was going to assemble to see
the world "come to an end" The old
man didn't know that the men from
whom he bought his ticket were dis
honest. He is now trying to recover
his money paid for the privilege
which didn't come.
Make your family an all-year-round
Christmas present of a Dodge Tour
ing Car this Christmas. BY seeing
Rolla Cozean you can have one deliv-
cred on an hours notice.
The Times editor was pleased the
other day to again meet Edwin Moll,
with whom it was our privilege to be-
come acquainted carry in 1917, just
before he left for his native land of
Australia to enlist as fighting man.
He joined the Australian cavalry, and
had soon gained the title of "the
fighting Parson." He saw much siren
uous service, principally in Egypt, and
his personal experiences make an alb
sorbing story. He landed in Frisco
on his return to this country on Oct.
2Sth last, and has been visiting
friends here and delivering an occa-
sional lecture since that time. Before
entering the war Lieut.. Moll was pre-
pairing to enter the Lutheran minis
try, but now he is marking time," be-
ing not fully determined as to what
line of industry ne will pursue.

While engaged in selling badges for
the Pennington Provident Associa-
ton last Saturday afternoon, Mrs.
Jessie Grover met with an accident
which resulted in the breaking of her
right arm and several severe bruises.
The accident happened as she was at
tempting to leave the court house. In
the recent attempt at fuel conserva-
ton, the outer, or storm doors, have
been kept closed in order to keep all
possible heat inside of the court
house. With the outer doors closed,
the space between them and the in
ner doors is quite dark, with step
between. 1t was mis- step, together
with lack of acquaintance with such
arrangement, that caused Mrs. Grow
err to fall, striking her head and body
quite heavily in attempts to gain her
equilibrium. This sad accident is
deeply regretted by this community,
as Mrs. Grover is one of Farmington's
most excellent and estimable women.
1t is heavy toll to charity, in which
she is such willing worker.
