STRAY STREAKS
tBy Fluke McFluke.)

We just know we have some of the
best neighbors to be found anywhere:
frinstance, our nextest-door neighbor
killed a couple of hogs last week and
when we found it out we says to em
as how we liked hog liver'n things
and they at once give us big slug
of liver, then we happened to think
of sausage, and our mouth always did
water for good. fresh pork sausage,
we just couldn't keep from telling
said neighbor as to how we loved II,
the sausage. and then next morning
before breakfast, said neighbor sent
over a nice plate of sausage and when
we expressed our thanks for the sau-
sage we accidently mentioned fresh
pork ham, and how nice 1t was to
have and how good and everything.
and don't you know that good lady
nearly gave us the hams outem one
of them hogs? Yes-sir-reel she did
that, she give us the hind feet often
which the hams had been. by mistake,
severed No, we didn't miss the ham
much nohow.
Fonza Midkiff says he has always
believed implicitly and with the most
abiding trust, everything in the Re-
publican, especially since John Henry
Thomas left it, but somehow, our
tory of that 9-foot high negro, weigh
ing nearly 900 pounds, for whom rs
yards of cottonade was necessary to
make him a pair of overalls, sorter
made him sit up and wonder if after
all, it was not possible for us to be
sometime on certain
facts and happenings. Fonza says he
would shore like to see the negro,
though, with his own eyes.
Our good friend. l. ID. Claire, in his
on or about Battle says as !
how Adam said lit was not COED for
man to be alone" We dasent start an |

like to know for certain if it was not |

THINK MADMAN COST II LIVES.
Coroner's Jury Investigating Holo-
caust in Kentucky

Hickory, KY, June 27.-That q
madman caused the holocaust which
cost the lives of II, four adults and
seven children near here Sunday, is
the belief of officials investigating
the fire which destroyed the home of
Ernest Lawrence, a farmer, and
wiped out two entire families.
Coroner o. M. Merritt has impan-
eled Jury to Investigate the TRACE
dy, and it is expected that report
will be made to-day, fixing the re-
sponsibility on Lawrence.
Circumstances point to foul play
before the building was fred. Will
liam Homes and Jacob Perkins,
neighbors, attracted by the flames,
but unable to enter the house,
climbed tree and peering through
the window of a bedroom saw bodies
before the flames had reached them.
The body of one victim with two
wounds, believed to have been in
fiicted with two-bladed ak, was.
found on a bed beside the weapon
which it is believed took her life.
LAWRENCE HAD BREAKDOWN.
Lawrence, it is said, suffered a
mental breakdown recently, but had
not shown disposition to do vio-
lence to the members of his family.
An examination of the bodies,
which were burned so badly that
recognition was impossible, showed
that one of the women bore wounds
that seemed to have been made by
some sharp instrument. The dress
of the infant which this woman is
thought to have been holding in her
arms, was drenched with blood.
In one Of the rooms in which |
several bodies were lying were a |
revolver containing six empty cart
ridges, shotgun, a rife with a |
cartridge that had been discharged |
and another exploded cartridge near
by, double-bitted ak, which was
lying on the bed springs near the
body of one Of the men, and large |
oil canzwhich had been kept in the
yard
Particles of bed clothing were
,linging to the bodies of the men,
showing that they had not retired
before they met death.

IRISH FRIENDS At STATE FAIR

IRISH FRIENDS At STATE FAIR
The American Association for the
Recognition of the Irish Republic in
the State Of Minnesota composed of
10000 members, consisting of los
Councils representing 81 Counties,
will have a Headquarters at the Min
nesota State Fair which is to be held
at the Fair Grounds, September Bird
to 10th.
On behalf Of Kandiyohi Council,
the officers: President, Olof C: o.
son; Vice president, Geo. Lind; Sec
rotary, Jno V. Holmberg; Treasurer,
Patrick LAWYER, extend an invitation
to the members and public of Kandi-
yohi county to, call at the Headquar-
tiers on the Fair Grounds while visit
ing there, which will be located one
block in on the left hand side of the
street from the Smelling Avenue en-
trance (Near Horticultural 'Building.)
1T is the object of this Association,
as Americans believing in the Dec
laration of independence and the
fundamental principles of our own
United States Government that the
right of self determination be accord
ed to the Irish people who on their
last vote proved conclusively with a
vote of ninety per cent Of the people
that they were in favor of a Republic.
We have recognized the following
Republics: France, Venezuela, Saliva
dor, Honduras: Brazil, Uruguay, Mic
aragua, Liberia, Czecho4Slovakia, Col
umbia, Ecuador, Costa RIGA, Cuba, Ar
men:a, Argentine, Guatemala, Para
quay, Poland. What American can
deny to other peoples the right of
Government which we now enjoy?
Pending negotiations Ireland is sill
ent, but we have every confidence
that the soldiers and statesmen who
have brot the struggle to such an i'm
portant development will either Sc
cure peace with honor or continue the
fight for freedom.

CLOTHES NEEDED FOR
EUROPEAN BABES
Red Gross Workers are Summon
ed to Help IN Effort to Assist
Destitute Mothers

Eastern and Central Europe. parti-
cularly the children, are nearer max
edness than at any time since the
close OF the Napoleonic Wars. This
is the word which comes to Central
Division headquarters OF the American
Red Cross, here. In a recent review
OF European conditions the American
Relief Administration states: rom
the standpoint Of food, conditions are
better; from that Of clothing, they
are worse" -
So desperate is the clothing situa-
ton that babies, are born with no
provisions for clothing them and the
sick in hospitals are. dependent upon
paper bandages. American Red
Cross workers say that the number
of mothers in Europe who will be un-
able to provide clothing for their new
born babies will pass the million
mark.
The American Friends Service Com
mittee has united with the American
Red Cross in joint collection of
used and unused garments to meet
this situation as far as possible. The
drive is nationwide. Persons willing
to assist in this work are asked to
apply to the nearest Red Cross rep
resentative. The clothing must be
made and collected Immediately in
order to reach Europe before winter
sets in.
Only garments which are strong,
serviceable and practical for heavy
wear are worth shipping. Knitted
garments, especially stockings and
sweaters, are badly needed. Baby
clothing, new or used; uncut flannel
and fannelette, strong cloth for suits,
yarn, even thread in great or small
quantities are also needed.
Todate, $10,845 has been sent from
residents of Minnesota to the aid of
Pueblo flood sufferers thru Red Cross
channels, according to figures from
the auditing department of the Cen
trail Division with headquarters here
in Chicago.
