Last Tuesday noon. while caring
for his work teams preparatory to
going in for dinner, Ed. Hurt was
kicked in the face and shoulder by
a young half broken horse Mr. and
Mrs Hurt were alone and it was
half an hour before any one came
by. Mrs. Hurt managed to get Ed
into the house and finallyy signall-
ed passing car and sent for DR..
Wilson of Holly who with DR.. Alb
bot arrived about the middle OF the
afternoon. 1t required twelve
stitches to close up the wound in
his cheek, his eyes were badly
swollen and as he was wearing
glasses at the time of the accident
it was feared there might be glass
in one eye but the next day Dr.
Wilson decided there was not and
held out hopes that his eye would
be alright. The doctor came again
on Friday and on Sunday Ed was
taken to Holly to have his wounds
dressed. He has suffered quite a
bit but is much better now and
Is in fair way to recOvery.-By

go -

Flies is neither beast, burd
ner beetle but they is some like
all three of em. They is almost
always found where they amt want
ed. They go around lookin fer
paradise of germs like alley gar.
bage can er a dead horse so they
can play hide an seek wich they
du til their feet is messed up with
all the germs in the catalogue, then
long about dinner time one of 'em
sneaks into the house an before
any body knows what he's up to
he wades clean through Dads gravy
with out stllts. an from there into
Mom's chocolate pie where he gets
stuck up Il plenty, until he can
hardly fly but he manages to make
his get away again.
But he's kinda wobbly an in
Std of bittin the screen wich he
intends to. he takes double head
er and lands almost in the bottom
of baby's milk wich is the last time
he wants bath er anything.
After that we Jest look at each
other an swaller an say we guess
we aint much hungry.
Flies is like fierce beasts cause
they is the enemy of man, they
kills more folks every year by
their desease bug peddlin' than all
the wild beasts in the jungle.
They is like burds cause they
has wings an can fly wich makes
'em all the more deadlier.
They Is like beetles cause they
buzz wich is the only good thing
they do. sometimes when you hear
EN- buzz you can head EN- off.
But we can fight EN- an shew
EN- and swat EN-, an even kill EN-
alive with fire an still yet they are
like the poor, always with us.
They is jest only our way to git
rid of EN- an that is to go where
they aint, wich is where l don't
know.

kept them of knowing of the ap-

train could easily be mistaken for
an auto coming down the road. He
called to, the engineer when seeing
the danger to throw on the brakes
and jump, juming himself at the
same time. The engineer had JUST

GAS TAKES A DROP

Starting yesterday moring all oil
stations in the city started to sell

ard OIL Company however has an
nOunced G6 drop in territories
covered by them which includes,
Missouri, Kansas. Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana. Wisconsin, Minnesota, both
Dakotas and part of Oklahoma.
Those here predicting this cut,
claim that local prices are not at
the bottom yet and should the
small independent companies with
stand it, another cut could in all
probabilities be expected. An in
yestigation has been started by
attorney general, Griffith OF Kan
.sas, why the gasoline prices are so
high and out of line with whole
