of the spirit Of the bountiful harvest

"a committee will be appointed that
will leave no opportunity lost to make

GRAVE CONDITIONS
AT LLANO COLONY

This heading suits the story ade-
quately, but it must not be taken too
seriously.
In the Colony is one Herb, Schad,
Of the practical. quiet, do-things- type.
stde is a baker by occupation, but Herb
is also of an agricultural turn of mind,
having many interesting hobbies here
in the form Of experiments.
One of his experiments is bunch
of Australian elephant grass which he
brought here to experiment with, and
this season he grew it and it shows re-
markabie tendencies along the line OF
immense production. This grass grows
something like sugar cane, sending out
numbers Of branches which grow as
high as twelve feet. Like cane too,
it grows from stalk seed; SO ere the
advent of frost, Herb hied him to his
grass patch and rooted up his grass
hobby, carried it home to the back OF
the Bachelors Hall where he resides,
and buried it without much ritual GER
enhony
After covering up the grave" Herb
astounded himself to note the shape
of the mound. 1t was exactly the size
and shape Of the mounds found in any
respectable cemetary! Not being. con
tent to leave his job unfinished, Herb
secured some wood and whitened it,
made a cross for headpiece, and a
mark for the foot, and placed them in
position.
Later in the evening. as the merry
dancers were. concentrating on the ho-
tel for the dance, they had to pass
through the grave" district. Many
linteresting, curious. and wierd remarks
were heard from the street by Herb,
who had secreted himself where the
remarks would add to his evenings en-
tertainment.
