KNEW WHERE TO GET A JACK
Auto Lingo Dead Language 10 Some
People.

A short time ago while a Knoxville
quito driver engaged at the pleasant
task of taking some Des Moines
ladies from Knoxville to Dallas, some
car troubles sadly marred the trip,
After the driver had worked, sweat
and swore inaudibly for some time,
one of the ladies, with a troubled
look on her face, asked if he thot
he could get the car fixed without
calling help. His reply was, II could
do it easily if l only had a Jack"
Tie ladys face frightened like a
fash, as she exclaimed: That is
good; they have one that Is fine and
dandy back at the next farm house. !"
Knowing that she was a stranger
IN those parts, the perplexed auto
driver asked how she knew and al
most lost his breath at the reply

rattlety-bang of bunch of cans to
an ingenious and apparently legiti-
mate use. William Hoover was the
man who faced Municipal = Judge

turbing the quiet by creating loud
and unreasonable noises at unusual
hours"
Neishbors alleged that Mr.. Hoover,
who owns some fine cherry trees
loaded with lucious fruit, had hung
clusters of tin cans in each tree, and
by means of strings, shook the cans,
which tangled together, made dis
quieting noises. lHooyer's defense
was that this was the only method Of
saving his fruit from the greedy
feathered tribe. The judge fined him
50 and Hoover said he would appeal.

Elgin last Saturday and on Sunday
were the guests together with Ben
Gruver of Clermont John Gruver of
Elgin, Mrs. Chas. Fritz, DR.. and Mrs

Henry Mcmillan farm where they en-
joyed an excellent dinner and supper.
In the afternoon this party drove
over the North Pike between West
Union and Clermont, visiting the old
Mt. Pleasant cemetery whore the
Gruvers have two brothers buried.
This North Pike, if We are TO be-
lieye the tourists that pass this way
from coast to coast, is one of the
best as well as most scenic auto ways
in the United states The old stamp
ing ground of the Gruyers when they
were lads lay on each side and this
beautiful highway was then but a
road through timber.
The Gruyer boys recalled many in
cidents of those young days when
everything tasted good from the APP
PIES in the orchards to the hot
doughnuts, when dollars looked as
big as cartwheels and the greatest
pleasure was trip to town behind
the old horse.-Elgin Echo.

New Hampton Ball Team COPIED
Long End Score Here Monday.

Decorah's big day planned for last
Monday got real soaking, and so
did our ball team. Rain marred the
pleasures of the day, nevertheless a
good, big crowd of visitors were in
the city in the afternoon to see New
Hampton and DEBORAH play ball. On
account of muddy grounds at the
fair grounds the game was transfer
red to the college grounds, and de-
spite the rain a crowd between 900
and 700 braved the elements to see
DEBORAH trim the professionals from
New Hampton. But something hap
pened after the game started. and
that was that New Hampton wouldn't
have it that way and started scoring
in the third inning and kept it up
until they had 13 stored away
DEBORAH made one score, Which
came in the sixth inning. Horace
Weiser got a pass, stole second and
scored on single by Riggs, aud
hat was the only score they got over.

cooperation was in evidence every
minute on July Sd at the Farm

Hesper. The celebration was staged
under the auspices of the township
farm bureaus of Highland, Hesper,

that this project required great
deal of time and thought on the part
of this joint committee, nor is it
necessary to say that the celebration
