prairie was turned into a prosy, self

crushed under debt. Values are
high. He is charged $500 an acre
and usually owes 5000.
This condition of high values and
the necessity of the poorer farmer to
rent his land have created the hard
times.

man OF the Giles Lumber Yard, re-
ceived severe injuries at $3.50 Tues
day afternoon when the Ford touring
car driven by him collided with the
Lakeland Barlow bus north of the
freight depot at Barlow.
1t appears that Mr.. Austin, driver
of the bus, decided that the driver of
the Ford was not going to turn out,
so in order to avoid the impending
accident. he turned the bus to the
left, but not in time to entirely miss
the Ford, which struck the rear of
the bus. .,.
The bus was ditched, and temporar-
lily put out of commission by break
ing wheel and spring, while Mr.
Keefe's car was demolished.
Fortunately for Mr.. keefe, Envoy
and Mrs. A. S. Peters. who have
charge of the Salvation Army work
in Polk county, happened to be near
waiting for the bus to Lakeland
and Envoy Peters administered first
aid to the injured man. whom he
found unconscious with severe inju-
ries. DR.. E. r. McNIurray was called
and dressed the wounds. which con-
sisted of fracture CT the left fore
arm cut on the chin that required
fourteen stitches, a smaller cut on
the left leg and severe bruise OF

peared to the eastward, and then
came some sunshine, the wind
shifting around to the west and
northwest. Steadily the mercury
slumped from the high mark of IS
degrees at 2 o'clock in the after
noon to 56 degrees at o'clock.
The dropping process continued
