The Farm and
The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Spea king with reference to the fire,
supposedly caused by lightning at l
o'clock last Sunday morning, J. A.
Hockett said: II consider myself for
tunate, in that we saved all the build
ings but the barn and silo; also that
all the livestock was in the pastures.
We saved the hoghouse, the garage.
two sheds and the workshop with
tools, etc., on account of the wind be-
ing in the right direction"
Mr.. Hockett stated that he had sold
his wheat at harvest time, and that
his seed wheat was left in the loft of
the hoghouse. He lost 225 bushels of
oats. 20 tons Of baled straw, some
loose oats and eight tons of clover,
two tons Of fertilizer, the tools and
implements which were in the barn,
on which he had but $1,000 insurance.
The Hockett farm lies two and one
half miles south Of town on the Lib

Good Evening
Mr.. Hoppe and the Beautiful Ladies
BY Roy K. MouItoI

Mr.. Hoppe and the Beautiful Ladies'
We have been much concerned
about the probable fate of Mr.. Hoppe,
the eminent English art photographer,
who is in this country to select Amer
ica's five most beautiful women. 1t
may be that he is in this country for
no such purpose whatever, and in fact
he says he is not, but if he is, he has
our condolences.
In America we have queer ideas of
beauty. AS soon as it is bruited about
that somebody is going to select the
five or 10 most beautiful women in
America we are treated to newspaper
pictures of hundreds of beautiful
women, and find ourselves wondering
how some of them got that way.
Some women are beautiful and
others are good looking. Personally
have always favored the latter, but
they seldom are entered in these con
tests.
The best looking lady I ever saw in
my life was Miss Lizzie Katz, whose
father kept a delicatessen store, but
you would by no means call her beau
tiful because almost any lady can be
beautiful if she floats in the proper
stratum Of society, and Miss KATE got
along entirely on her looks.
In my younger days l thought Miss
Katz the most beautiful creature that
ever lived. Later. after looking at the
pictures of beautiful women, l found
that Miss Katz was not beautiful-she
was something more-she was good tt
