Mr.. Fox worked all that afternoon.
He carefully removed all the nice meat
and then filed the skin and feathers with
sawdust and sewed up the opening he had
made on the under part of the duck.
When he had finished it looked SO well
that he was quite sure he would be fooled

he would think it was nice, plump bird.
When Raccy brought the honey Mr..
Fox had the lamp turned low, for fear
he might come in and sit a while, and he
did not wish to give Raccy chance to
examine the duck.
But Raccy was in hurry, and did
not stop only enough to leave the honey
and put the duck in his bag and ran OIL
to his home.
1t did not take him long to find out
that MIR. Fox had played a trick on him

AMERICAN SAILING Ship
DISAPPEARS FROM SEAS

Quantico. Va. Aug. 5-That the
distinctly American sailing ship has
disappeared from the high seas is
evidenced by the fact that only fifty
per cent of the Marines studying
Navigation at the Marine Corps In
stitute here could tell the names of
the seven masts. at an examination
held here recently.
Tine Marines keep themselves
keenly alive to things nautical, as
we'll as military. and that only half
of their class could name the seven
masts is due entirely to the fact thai
there are now no seven-musted
schooners flying the American flag.
Fore, main. mizzen, pusher, driv-
err. jigget'. and spanker are the nam
es in order. running fore and aft, of
seven-masted ship. Some author
tiles give them the names of fore
castle. Fore, main. mizzen. jigger,
spanker TO driver and aftermasts.
Others compromise by naming them
from bow to stern after the days of
the week. beginning with Sunday.

Farmers Hard Hit
by Big Hail Storm

The hal! storm that struck por-

evening is said to have been one of
the most destructful OF any storm
that has visited this part of the state
in years
The storm seemed to travel along
the -Fairmont r. r. south of
Claire City, New Ellington and Ham
mer In that vicinity number OF
farmers sustained total and almost
total damage. The following farm
ers were among those whose grain
was damaged most: Dave johnson.
Almond Gotta, Otto Olson, Charley
McGee. S. Hultberg. Paul Trelstad
and Leonard Ruckdaschal. Others
had partial losses.
The strom swooped down on that
strip OF farms at six o'clock and hail
fell in great quantities, lasting for
Is minutes After the storm, the
ground was covered with hail stones
the size Of an egg.
Another storm registered in Day
county. where farmers sustained
similar damage.

TnREsHE.Rs INSURANCE

Many inquiries have come to the
Farm Bureau also i'm regard to
threshers insurance. 1t seems to be
the understanding that farmers who
own small rigs and do not have amy
men on their payroll are not requir-
ed by law to carry Workmen's Com
pensation Insurance. This. however,
would not prevent any men who may
be injured about the machine from
collecting damages from the men
under whom they are employed. All
owners of threshing rigs who do
have payroll. are required by law
to take out thresher's insurance.
There are two or three cooperative
insurance companies in the state.
who will insure the thresher at A
very small cost The expense IN
these companies last year ranged
from 50 to s32. depending upon
which company the thresher insured
in. Commercial companies charged
from $64 up. Threshermen who do
not carry insurance are taking big
risk by not doing so.

took the matter up with the Park

dress. This public spiritedness on
the part of the Mayor is much APP
preciated.
The only hesitation manifested
by MIR Fossum of the Park Board
in granting permission was caused
by the bug-a-boo fear created i'm his
mind by false propaganda that i. w.
Wism and bolshevism might be ad-
vocated. Needless to say the fear
lacks foundation. 1t is sincerely to

grsssive republican in politics, and
was a staunch supporter of Teddy
Roosevelt for whom he actively
campaigned.
