 One of our local attorneys was ask ed the other day:
 "Can you tell me if l have grounds for divorce ?"
 Are you married ?" the lawyer ask ed.
 "Why, yes, of course.'
 "Then you have grounds" the law yer assured him.
 County Attorney Frank M. Gold says that while there are some fool laws on the statute books of this state, we have no monopoly on them. He says in explanation that Kansas has a law which states that when two trains meet at a crossing, each is to stop, whistle, and wait until the other gets by.
 Following is new set of traffic rules:
 Pedestrians crossing the street at night shall wear a white light in front and red light in the rear.
 Before turning to the right or left, they shall give three short blasts on a horn at least three inches in diam eter.
 When an experienced automobile driver is made nervous by pedes- trian, he shall indicate the same, and the pedestrian shall hide behind a tree until the automobile has passed.
 Pedestrians shall not carry in their pockets any sharp instruments which may cut automobile tires.
 In lodging automobiles, pedestrians shall not run more than seven miles an hour.
 Pedestrians must register at the be- ginning of each year and pay license fee of $5 for the privilege of living. There shall be no rebate if they do not live the entire year.
 Each pedestrian before receiving his license to walk upon the streets shall demonstrate before an examin- ing board his skill in dodging, leap ing, crawling and extracting himself from machinery.
 Pedestrians will be held responsible for all damage done to automobiles or their occupants by collision.
 Pedestrians must wear a mirror on left shoulder SO that they will be able to tell whether traffic is approaching from the rear, and shall always sig nal with left hand when turning to the left.

 When A. J. Sullivan was boy, he was a news butcher for time on a passenger train running from Dodge City to Albuquerque. One day green porter was assigned to the train; a darkey who had no previous experi- ence. He was profoundly interested in everything, and was constantly sticking his head out of the windows and vestibules. The conductor, mo- ticing it, and fearing he would be hurt by some of the mail cranes, said to him:

 After the Yanko-Spanko war, Dan Hogan, Howard Marine and Will Wal lace were badly shot with malaria. l took quite an interest in them, and often inquired after their health. Meeting Howard Marine one day, 1 asked him how he was. With long, sober look, he said:
 'I think l am a goner."
 "Why so? ?" l anxiously asked.
 Because when l meet Ed Whipple, he looks at me and smiles.'
 Al Kinsey. A few weeks ago when Sheriff Billy Campbell was in Weiser, Idaho, fol lowing the discovery that the car that had belonged to Martin F. Schwab, the salesman killed here last spring by Harry Nash, had been sold there, he had supper at Weiser with the deputy sheriff and the latter's ten-year-old son.
 The youngster couldn't keep his eyes of Campbell. Finally he asked: Are you an Arizona sheriff?" "Yes," Campbell answered Why" "Well, you don't look like the pie lures of any of 'en have seen in the movies,' the boy explained. Goodbye, dear one, and if you need

.NANFORD SAND
WON FORD AUTO
Young Man Living Near Ossian Held
Lucky Number 1920 on the
Legion Ford Last Night.
CELEBRATION DREW
A GOOD CROWD
Program at Fair Grounds Carried
Out to the Letter, Despite the
Cool Weather.

Anton Bernatz Post second an
nual American Legion Day was cele-
brated here yesterday. While the
weather was not conducive to out
door sports, still a good sized crowd
was present to enjoy the program.
One of the big features of the
celebration was the giving away of a
new Ford touring car. 1910 numbers
were sold on the car and the win
ming number was l120, held by Nan
ford Sand, young world war vet
eran, who resides near Ossian. 1t
was the fifth number drawn out.
Mr.. Sand was present at the dance
at Haugen's where the auto was
given away, and purchased his ticket
last evening. The crowd present
at the dance taxed the capacity of
the hall, it being the largest crowd
ever present at dance here, we be-
lieve.
The program at the fair grounds
brought out around thousand spec
tators, $500 being taken in at the
gate.
In the morning a fine parade, led
by Prof. Sperati and his Merchants
band paraded through the streets,
with large number of soldiers, sail
ors, city firemen, autos, etc.
The program at the fair grounds
was good. The base ball game be-
tsTeeh Decsah's all stars and Lans-
ing resulted in a victory for Lansing
by score of IL to 6.
Ed Olson and Ed Ringdahl stag
ed boxing match, which was won
by Ringdahl.
A horseshoe pitching contest be-
tween Cresco and Decorah players
went to Cresco by about n points.
Geo. Baker and his dog was one of
the attractions that went over big.
Dan Steck, state commander of
the American Legion gave an ad-
dress in the afternoon, which was
thoroughly enjoyed.
Taken all in all the program was
good one, and with warmer wea-
ther prevailing the Legion boys
would have made neat sum.

because it is life; it pleases for the

because he is the rural constable
you know; the country grocery store
and its crowd of idlers is pictured
as you know it. You have seen many
a farmer entice his lazy or balky
horse up a hill by wisp of grass;
YOU have seen the Iounger on the
front porch of the grocery store go
to sleep on a midsummer afternoon;
Won have seen the store cat on the
same porch, blink and nod and final-

ture and you watch them without
actually realizing that it is only the
mimic before you. You seem TO feel
that it is real life you are watching.
A typical Griffith cast is in the
production. Lillian Gish Is Anna
Moore, the girl. You love her from
the moment she appears in the old
home, down through the years u"'i'
she becomes a lawful happy wife.
You weep with her over her misery
and sorrow and sympathize with her
because of her unbounded confl-
dence in the man-animal. You know
she will suffer, yet you feel that IL

must because it always has been So

Insane Wards Increase

The state board of control, upon
the completion of the semi-annual
inspection Of the hospitals for the
insane at Mt. Pleasant, Ciarlnda,
Cherokee and Independence report a
marked increase in attendance at
each of these institutions. The
abandonment of the inebriate asylum
at Knoxville accounts for part OIL
this increase, as those addicted to
the dope habit are sent to asylums

New Iowa DINNER Law Under Fire

Des Moines, Iowa-The new Iowa
DINNER law is under fire, complaints
reaching the state house indicate.
From all sections come the reports
that accidents have greatly increased
since the new law went into effect.
The claim is made that automobile
lights are so poor that it is impos-
sible to get a clear vision of the
highway and dangerous culverts,
live animals in the roadway, and SO
on, are a constant menace to the
driver, to say nothing of collisions
| 1t is already apparent that the next
Legislature will be asked to repeal
J or modify the law.
