She gave Alix long kiss in parting,

AERIAL POLO IS NEW SPORT
AirpIane-Toy Balloon Game One OF
Features at Recent Legion Enter
talnment In Florida.

Aerial polo Is the latest sport. One
of the chief features of an entertain
ment given by the American Legion at
Miami, Fla, was game Of polo
staged high in the air, sans mallets,
sans ponies, sans ball, sans everything
except a dozen nimble aviators and
several dozen toy balloons.
Every sort of twist from the Immel-
mann turn to the maple-leaf drop is
called into play during the contest.
Here Is what happens: A motorboat
loaded with the many-colored balloons
of the proverbial country fair plows
out into the harbor and drops anchor.
From nearby hangers come galloping
a dozen Pegasuses. They take the
air. and when they are equidistant
from the launch, at safe altitude,
the little balloons are released and go
soaring upward in great confusion on
the wind.
The air rider who captures the
greatest number Is declared the win
ner. The Legion pilots who tried 1t
said that it used to be easier catching
Taubes.

Mrs. Donohue intends this year to
erect new newspaper building in

and then she intends as distant

Last year she visited her husbands
grave at ROMANCE, where $4,000 were
buried In the heart Of the Argonne
wood.
Probably no paper in the country
gives more sympathetic treatment to
the problem of the returned soldier
than does the weekly at Cokato. "The
tragedy of war has broadened my
viewpoint" says Mrs. Donohue
"There is much to be done, and I'm
frank to say that I expect great
things of the American Legion as an
organization representing men who
know what the word service means"

Things had reached this point when
Justin Little calmly and confidently

for nearly one hundred and fifty thou

cumulative interest for ten years, of
which no payment had ever been made
Anne, was large proportion of the
entire estate, and the development of
this claim, in Justin Titles assured,
woodeny voice, caused every one to
look grave.
The estate was not worth one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars now,
by any means; 1t had been reduced to
little more than two-thirds Of that
sum, and Anne's bright concern that
every one should be satisfied with
what was right, and her ingenious
pleasure in Justin's cleverness In
thinking of this possibility, were met
with noticeable c0ldness.
If Anne was wrong, and the paper
she held in her hand worthless, each
girl would inherit comfortable little
fortune, but If Anne was right, Cherry
and Alix would have only a few thou
sand dollars apiece, and the old home.

"Yes-we must think of darling

money, then l suppose l must take it,

c. II. Wilson, well known citi-
zen Of this place, was found dead
in bed Monday morning at the home
Of his daughter, Mrs. Ben Ellison
in the south part Of town. He re-
tired about 9 O'Clock Sunday night
and death must have come some
time in the early part OF the night.
A vial that had contained chloro-
form was found near the bed and
he had evidently produced death
by inhaling this deadly drug. An
inquest was held by Justice Of the
Peace J. NJ Mabe who gave a YER
diet that the deceased came TO his
death by inhaling chloroform with
suicidal intent.
Rev j. b. Cole who has so faith
fully labored as pastor Of the Bap-
list church at this place for the past
three years, asked 10 be relieved of
his charge and preached his fare
well sermon TO the congregation last
Sunday at the IL o'clock service,
and he and family are moving this
week to FL Paso where they will
reside. No preacher has ever lived
in Cr0sbyton who made more friends
than Bro. Cole, and all denomina-
tons alike join in wishing he and
family the best of health and fort
une in their new home.
A full train load Of four-year-old
white face steers from the Half
