of DR.. W. J. Jolly, who has just re-

He saw a large number of motor
cycles laid out in a row and smashed to
shreds when a big tank was driven over
them.
Large numbers of motor cars were
stacked into piles and smashed with
sledge hammers previous to being
burned, he said.
The great American dump heap was
located at Vernieulle eight kilometers
from La Palisse.
One Of the machines taken there by
jolly was big Winton Six, with moth

CHARACTERISTIC ACTION.

You have heard Of President Wilson
no doubt Well for the second time he
vetoed the Daylight Saving Law, giving
the same reasons as before. But he has
bumped up against a Congress that will
not be buldosed The question has been
carried over his veto
This is the first time that president
has vetoed bill the second time, and
his action is characteristic of his de-
termination to foster his own ideas up
on the nation. We predict that the
President will lose the support of the
masses of the agriculturist classes who
are united against the law.

by the time the sun came out they

The road led for time thru a

picnic grove that was very inviting.
But the procession continued to

"But does your foolish old hen sup

That's nonsense said Dorothy.
But Billina won't be long. I'm sure.
So they stood and waited altho all
were restless and anxious to proceed.
And by and by the yellow hen came
from the bushes saying: ''Kut-kut,
