Miss Pctunia Wishes Now World Had
Come To End December 18th.

Hogville. Jan. 4th. -- The report
that the world would come to an end
on December 18th caused some little
stir in Hogville. However, Mrs. Zero
Peck and some of her neighbors got
consolation from the fact that If II
did end they would get rid OF Zero.
After Zero learned of this conspiracy
he was glad II did not come as he
1 likes TO get ahead of his wife and
neighbors.
A stranger from over about the
Bear Foot school house. has bought
the farm of the late Bill kildew, on
Petunia Ridge. north of Hogyille.
Several former owners of this farm
have starved TO death trying to OPP
crate II. Those familiar with the
/ fate OF these former owners are try
ing to keep il quiet as they want the
new owner TO die easy.
The presumption is that the Old
Miser had a delightful Christmas, as
he did not spend cent.
The ladies of the Hogyille Humane
Society visited the graveyard on Pc
tunia Ridge yesterday and as soon as
/ they returned went into business ses-
sion and appointed special commit
tee TO call on Bub Smothers and heap
upon him a lot of abuse for the way
he is neglecting the grave of his
mother-in-law.
/ Zero Pecks says the most harmful
woman In the world is poor cook.
Dan Hooks. the Hogville black
smith. predicts that If the blacksmith
business does not improve with the
New Year, this town will lose its
blacksmith shop.
The Postmaster says he cares less
for Nebraska than any other State in
| the Union. He never saw the State
but says his feeling in the matter has
been brought about by the fact that
! Alexander Moseley came from there
several years ago and has always
spent most of his time Dragging on
the blooming State and finding fault
with Hogville Outside of that ht
thinks possibly Nebraska is all right
Miss Petunia Belcher got Professor
Cape Allsop cornered at the postoffict
yesterday and read several verses oi
her Christmas poetry to him anC
Cape had TO admit its superiority be
fore he could get away.
Miss Petunia Belcher says If sh'
had known she would not get an!
Christmas presents she would no
have cared il the world did come tt
an end on December 18th.
THE INNOCENT BYSTANDER
Zeke Moseley was shot through thu
right foot while participating as al
innocent bystander at a free for al
fight at the Bear Ford sllll house OF

America Spelling Europeans.

William ]. Mulligan. chairman OF
the Knights of Columbus committee
on war activities, has returned TO New
York from abroad. Discussing the
situation Mr. Mulligan says:
THE people of Europe are not as
badly of as many would have Ameri-
cans believe. While there are dis
tressing conditions in places, one de-
tects symptoms of spelling through
Americas lavish assistance.
Europe needs red blood rather
relief. and il would not be unaccepta-
bic. if gratitude was shown to Amer
lea for what she has done. Europe
will take all We have TO give, and GER
tainly we should give something.
"But We should ask for an ac-
counting of everything we give and
insist that the statesmen Of Europe
get down to business Ii they want
to continue receiving help. There is
100 much talk and not enough work

I nal got out a most excellent edition
I of The Journal last week. in the form
of large supplement entitled The
I Monroe Wants You Edition OF The
Monroe Journal" The supplement
contains write-ups and photographs
OF Monroe's prominent business and
professional men. as well as splendid
presentation of the advantages Mon
ros has to offer prospective home
seekers and industrial enterprises.
Talk good roads: don't knock the
road commission; don't raise so much
cain when the road engineer puts a
new road through your field. The in
ventions which have been OF most
benefit to the world are those which
abridge distances and bring people
closer together. Good roads are the
means of bringing communities in
closer touch. The road drag and the
road scrape ought to be used freely
during the next two months. The
farmer who drags a section OF road by
his farm, at his own expense. not
only does profitable job for himself,
but he eonfers a benefit upon the
public generally.
We venture the assertion that there
is not another town the size of Wax
haw with as many young people in
colleges and higher education insti-
tutions. These young people are now
al home for the Christmas HOLIDAYS
and the old town wears happy smile
because they are here. The streets
are filled with happy folks and 1t
makes the hearts of the iest OF us
glad to have them home. The town
i theirs Tor next ten days. and when
they go back to their studies we will
settle down again TO our work. and
look forward to their home coming
in the spring.

MAKES NEW USE OF ECHOES
inventors Idea May Do Away With
the Old Practice Known as
"Heavino the Lead"

An inventor in Oakland. Cal. has
found a new and practical use for
echoes, and as result the time may
come when the practice Of .heaving
the lead" at sea will be known only
in historical novels and old maritime
history The marimeter. as the new
device is called. sends sound from
the keel of the ship to the bottom of
the sea: the sound comes back as an
echo. and the journey. automatically
recorded on a diaphragm, is translated
into terms of length. The report shows
the depth of water between keel and
bottom. calculated from the known
speed OF the sound-wave in salt water.
and the knowledge may be acquired at
the rate of four soundings a. minute.
which Is very much faster than by The
older methods. The marimeter, TO be
sure. has only recently gone to sea.
II indeed the steamer Governor. which
will carry the first of them, has yet
left dry dock in Seattle, Wash. But
the instrument promises to add ma
terially to the security of ocean traf-
fic.

 Nearly all the business houses of Fairbanks are running short-handed today.
 There is no truth to the report that Marshal Erwin released a lot of confscated booze for the benefit of flu patients and those threatened with the disease.
 Health Officer Sutherland, who has general charge of the situation, is constantly on the go, from one case to another, day and night. He is about the busiest man in Fair, banks, and although he has not suc- ceeded in checking the spread of the epidemic, he is able to report that all the cases are responding promptly to treatment and he an- ticipates no serious results.

FAIRBANKS HAS
 REAL EPIDEMIC;
 200 CASES NOW

The flu epidemic which made It's in the Fairbanks dis trict last week appears to have taken firm hold upon the communi- ty, according to reports received by The News this afternoon. At a late hour last night more than TO cases had been reported to the health officer, and it is estimated that there are now 200 or more cases in Fairbanks, none of them, however, being of a serious charac- ter. There are cases in all the hotels, two floors of the Nordale now being practically filled with patients, and the basement of the Catholic church has been filled with cots and converted into temporary hospital. In addition, many of the cases are being cared for in private homes. Tony Nordale and all of his assistants have the flu and the hotel is running itself today.
 4 special train was sent to the creeks late yesterday to gather up the cases that had developed there, land numerous cases have been brought to town from points along the Valdez trail. In fact, the disease has made its appearance at every lroadhouse on the trail, with the ex- ception of the one nearest Fair banks, and nearly all the drivers for the Brewer stage line are sick. i And several passengers who started for the coast have returned to town for treatment, the number including Vance Mcdonald. of Ruby.
 l A first aid station has been es- tablished at the Red Cross drug store, and all those feeling at all unwell are being urged to go to i the drug store for an examination. If they have the symptoms, they are assigned to one of the temper ary hospitals for treatment.
 Several cases of pneumonia have developed, but none have reached a serious stage. John Fox. the first to show signs of pneumonia, is very much better today, and so is Ben Hoerler, who had a hemorrhage yes terday morning. Some of those who first came down with the flu are practically recovered now, and all
 of the cases are described as being
 of the mild type of flu.
