knocking him down. 1t then struck

Audubon Man Invents
Straw-Stacking Device

A wonderful invention has lust
been perfected by W. G. Sheets, of
Audubon, in the way of straw
stacking device which will prove
a Godsend to all farmers who raise
small grain.
Instead of piling the straw up,
"a custom which has been a.
dopted by many farmers in recent
years, owing to the difficulty they
encountered in trying to stack
from the blower, this new device
makes it possible to stack the
straw very neatly without waste,
the farmer deriving much benefit
thereby. A thousand farmers
have seen and inspected the small
modes and declare it a marvel.

Land Owners Must
Abide by Game Laws

There is a popular opinion to
the effect that the owner of land or
his tenants do not have to pay any
attention to the game laws; "ssnat
you can shoot anything on your
own land" without reference to
the law. This is partly right and
partly wrong. The owners of land,
their children or their tenants are
not required to take out hunting
licenses, as are other people, but
they are not exempt from an OBJ
servance of the other provisions Of
the game laws. They cannot hunt
fowl or game out of season, even
on their own land, and they can
not hunt fowl or animals on which
there is no open season.

$l.5o PER YEAR
DISASTROUS FIRE
DESTROYS GARAGE
Early Morning Blaze Des-
troys Adair Property Val
ued at $15O,OOO

Last Thursday morning Adair
was visited by what is said to have
been the most disastrous fire in it's
history. The fire started in the
new brick White Way garage. An
employe was trying to start car
when it back6red, igniting the gas
tank causing an explosion.
The fire department checked the
first blaze but the gasoline which
had trickled upon the floor broke
into flames. There was a series of
explosions from the gas tanks of
stored cars.
The acetylene gas Welding outfit
was catapulted through the walls
like a cannonball and tools were
hurled through the air by the ex-
plosions Of the barrels Of oil stored
in the garage.
Ane aremeh were helpless, Tor
water sprayed on the burning oil
only served to spread the flames.
The two-story paint shop next
door caught fire and burned to the
ground.
Six automobiles were totally con-
sumed, and fourteen cars which
were taken from the burning
building had their tops burned off
and were otherwise seriously dam
aged.
The garage was owned by the
Furst estate and the paint store
building by Miss Bertha Richard
son, sister of W. G. Richardson Of
the Adair News.

evidently we're farm homes but not
like you are used to- Their barns
were also small, that is the ones
there were. We saw a few hay
stacks and one herd of cattle graz

In the evening it is very beauti-
full here in the Mediterranean sea.
Such beautiful sunsets 1 never

you. 1t seems to me that it should
be real lovers delight. While
sailing close to the African shore
in the evening we could see light
houses all the time. The coast
line is very rocky and every pro-
truding point has a light house.
We saw several great rocks stand
ing right out of the water and
some of them were of great
height, too. These also had light
houses on them.
OF course, we can go out for a
walk on the boat, but we can't get
very far, just like being in prison.

HANSEN FAMILY ON
way TO INDIA
Interesting Letter to Home
Folks Tells Of Expert
ences on Trip

Relatives of Henry Hansen,
who, with his family, departed
a few months ago for India to take
up mission work, have received a
very interesting letter from that
far-away land which we feel will
be Of interest to our readers. 1t
follows:
IS. City of Lucknow,
l3 days at stsa, Nov. 8.
Dear Folks at Home:
1T is now over three weeks since
we left home and we have seen
many things since then. | shall
try to tell you a little in the best
way can. As you know the days
that we spent travelling in the
United States we had a very good
time. We have a nice room on
the ship-just room enough for
three of us.
We have sink to wash in and
electric lights and fan; a ward
robe or closet and three berths.
Our meals are served in courses in
the finest style-five or six courses
at a meal. We get more meat
sthan is good for us. but Of course,
milk and cream, we do not get.
We have a milk -four that goes
pretty good when you get used to
it. We get all the nuts we can
b at Tor supper All the walters
here are from India. So far we
like them very much.
When we left New York the
first evening we didn't think we
would get sick but we soon found
out different. Sabbath morning
we were not feeling the best and
things did not improve very much
for the first week, Then we got
into a three days storm. 1t
sstormed so that the waves were.
like hills and often they came over
the deck. In fact it was not safe
to be on the deck very much. /
saw several people ducked well
during the storm. We all had a
good attack of seasickness, The
fish sure did not starve then.
We'll. we are all over it now and
are sure eating to mske up for lost
time. The cooking is some differ
ent than we are used to but we
can get used to it.
Last Thursday we saw the first
land since leaving New York thir-
teen days ago. We had met a
White Star liner few days before
The first land we saw was Cape
st. Vincent, Portugal. There we
saw the light house and the fort.
We were so close to land here that
we could look back into the coun-
try and see the green fields and
small cottages. Thursday night
we passed Gibralter and saw the
huge rock, 1900 feet high, stand
ing straight out Of the water. We
also saw the powerful search light
which could light up the sea far
out. 1t was a wonderful sight.
On Friday we passed close to the
coast Of Spain and there we saw
the mountains, some of them COW
cred with eternal snow. We saw
many small fishing boats and could
see a village occasionally. On
Sabbath we passed very close to
the coast of northern Africa. We
saw Algiers and many villages and
towns. We could also see the trees
on the hills and one high snow
covered peak, Mount Atlas. At
noon, we could see smoke arise
from different parts on the hill
sides. There, upon close observa-
tion through a glass, we discovered
a house in connection with it. So
they evidently cook their food out
side the house in that country.
The houses did not appear to be
any too large anyhow even if the

Road Graders Go Through

A number of road graders went
through town the latter part of the

houses on wheels drawn by a pow

the state. In their trip from Shcn-
andoah here they covered dis
tance of thirty miles per day. They
will camp north of Audubon the
remainder of the winter.
