Arthur Miles, the south-end barber,
has been entertaining his customers
with story which he vouehes for as a
fact. His oldest son, Max, who is a
student Of Spaulding high, was kicking
football about in his backyard when
he decided to attempt punt over the
house. The ball went into the air and
disappeared to the sight Of Max and
his father. They searched around the
house, but it could be found nowhere.
Giving il up for lost, they entered the
house to find that the kitchen stove
was sending forth a quantity of smoke.
The disappearance Of the football and
the apparently blocked chimney caused
the young lad. to climb to the roof.
Down in the chimney, which is one of
ordinary size, the ball rested just be-
yond reach. A brick was used to force
it down to stoyepipe hole in the
house. After some effort the lacings Of
the football were cut and the air let
out in order to release il from the chin
ney. "And now our kitchen stove
burns better than it has for the past
two years" concluded Barber Miles
