r. n BARLEY has fully confirmed
the belief that Ford acr, like a cat,
IS possessed of nine lives. On Friday
afternoon, as Mr.. BARLEY was driving
his Ford sedan into the garage at the

missed connections with the door and
drove the car straight for a decided

Neither the car nor Mr.. BARLEY were

1UNCLE JOE' CANNON
RETIRING

Joseph Cannon of Illinois, who
has spent much of his life as a men,
Der of the house of representatives,
is about TO retire at the age OF
eighty-seven.
Cannon has always been a ma
chine politician and a fighter. He
was speaker of the house for many
terms and under his leadership the
house frightened it's rules and its or
ganization until nobody but men,
bers of the machine could get the
floor to make a motion or to do any
thing which the machine was un-
willing should be done. 1t raised
a rebellion in the house that TOOK
many years to smoth out, and when
it was done, Cannon was still pre-
siding. There came a day when the
opposition was strong enough to
throw him out, but the old fighter
bluffed them out by taking the
floor and telling them to their teeth
that they did not have the morale
courage to do it, and they showed
that he was right by letting the OPP
portunity pass.
Cannon had a birthday a few days
ago and the house took occasion to
lay aside the work of the day and
have some remarks concerning
"Uncle joe and his career and his
work. .
Cannon once played a prank on a
couple of his friends there, who were
superstitious about picking up pins
when they saw them. Both men
made it a rule always to pick up a
pin when they saw it, and they
adhered to the rule so closely that 1t
was generally known and n day
Cannon got a paper Of pins and
walked down the street ahead OF
them, dropping a pin about every
fifty feet. They followed their rule
faithfully, but finally became an
noyed at the number of pins on their
way that day tho they did not
suspect anything until Cannon
slowed down and showed them what
he had been doing.
The wonder is, how did they
reconcile these pins with their belief
or superstition about picking up pins
wherever they saw them.

PROVIDING FOR FARMER
VERSUS TOURISTS

It is a we'll accepted theory that
towns should provide tourist camp
grounds, and it is generally consid-
cred advisable to furnish various
other accommodations that enable
tourists to live in comfort while they
stay in a town. Various communlt-
les vie with each other in furnishing
the best they can to these strangers
who may never come again, n
trust that they will give the places
they like some favorable advertising
in their memories of travels. II IS
all worthy of consideration, and
some day there will probably be a
reversal of policy but not just yet.
There is another class of people
who are worthy Of some considera-
tion-the farmers. They also come
ia town to trade, and it Is certain
that most Of them will have occasion
to come again. 1t is certain tnat
most of them will take occasion to
saw things concerning the town and
its accommodations for people VINO
enter it. One subject that has been
troubling the farmers and some
town people is that of hitching
racks. Towns have not always spent
money as literally for hitching racks
and clean surroundings as they have
for tourist camps. It is hardly to be
doubted that the trade of the local
farmers Is more to be desired than
the trade of tourists, who may never
be seen again.
Blackfoot has come out OF its
she'll and provided some paved street
for hitching purposes, and some
hitching racks not lined with muc
and filth, but it took a good while tt
get into a frame Of mind where We
were willing to do it. 1t took vi
only a few years to get educated OF
the tourist camp question, tho !
took a generation to get partly edu

that some people find it necessary t.

there is a scarcity of proper accom-
modations at suitable places.

Ockerman place. He is raising no
beets, eight or nine acres Of potatoes
and some hay and grain.
George Yost Is raising no beets,
ten acres Of potatoes and some hay
and grain. Mr.. Yost completed a
very fine country home In 1929,
equipped it with a furnace and
maple floors and vanished the
floors. He decided that vanished
floors were a mistake for a farm
house as there is always some grit
tracking in and marring the varnish.
The dealer said the varnish would
| stand that kind of wear, but exper-
fence proves that the dealer did not
know. Mr.. and Mrs. Yost have de-
| cided to try the wax floor instead of
varnish. Mr.. Yost has been raising
a good many potatoes for several
years and last year he raised an
average of 1872 sacks per acre. From
ten acres he raised 1920 sacks. On
three and a half acres he raised
enough potatoes to sell for $1015
after taking out the price Of the
sacks they were put in. Mr.. Yost

his family usually take a fishing trip

ETWISTER Is FATAL
TO 5-YEAR-oLD BOY
Home of JOsephus Moak Wreck.
ed-COws Killed - Other
Damage Done.

A tornado and hail storm of such
severity as to cause considerable pro-
perty damage as we'll as the loss of
one life occurred sixteen miles south
west of here at two o'clock Sunday
morning.
The most serious loss of property
as we'll as the snuffing out of life
occurred on Mr.. Josephus Moak's
farm. Mr.. Moak is located near the
old c. T. Montgomery homestead near
Auburn. Mr.. Moak's residence, his
barn and smoke-house were compile
tely demolished. The smoke-house
door was blown a distance of a mile
and half while pieces of meat from
inside the house were found in all di-
rections. Strange to say, rail
fence within only a few yards of the
demolished buildings, did not even
lose top rail from the wind.
Rev. and Mrs. Ben Sandifer with
their little five year old son were
spending the night at Mr.. Moak's
home prior to Rev. Sandifef's filling
a preaching engagement at Airing
ton church. While the storm was
at its height Mrs. Sandifer tainted
and remained unconscious for one
hour afterward. Immediately after
ward while the other inmates of the
home were pulling themselves out of
the wreckage, Mr.. and Mrs. Sandi-
fer's little boy was found dead. Only
a small bruise near the temple could
be found on the little fellow, but all
attempts to resuscitate him proved to
be Of no avail.
Other damage of the most serious
nature in the immediate neighbor-
hood was as follows:-
Jake Williams lost his barn in
which twenty head of cattle had
shelter. One of the cows was kill
ed.
John Trayer had his residence
blown sideways and his barn was
razed to the ground
John Johnson also lost his barn.
Several cows were injured from fall
ing timbers while two of the bovines
were pinned beneath the debris. It
took neighbors three hours to cut
away timbers enough to extricate
them.
