Willow Creek
Takes Out Bridge
And Floods Lamar

1t was weeping Willow creek
last Thurs day night. when that
mild-eyed stream went on a ram
page and sent down an avalanche
of water that ran some feet over
the bridge and swept it from its
moorings and by day light had
converted Lamar into a frog
pond - ovor the sidewalks on
Main and thigh deep in other
parts of town.
Attorney Todd advises US that
something like twenty seven
years ago Willow creek sent
down a similar body of water,
but the creek is only four or five
miles long and ordinarily the
volume of water sent down is
small and gives little Concern.

In a Tight Place
But a Newspaper
Helped Him Out

A Worked Over Story
A man was hunting in forest.
A great sto rm came up, so he
squeezed into hollow log.
1t rained for hours, the water
soaked into the log, the log
swelled, and when the rain was
over the man was unable to get
out, and with starvation and
death staring him in the face he
prayed for the Lord to senI hlu
religion, and some ,Jay to get out
of the l.g lL.,g.
Then his life passed before
him in panarama-one mean
thing after another. and finally
the book of his life opened to
,the page where after steen years
of nonpayment he had ordered
the paper stopped with out pay
ing up
And this made him fee! so
small he was able to crawl out
of the log with out any trouble
And when he was out and life
and liberty and the pursuit of
happiness were restore to him
he remarked to himself
THAT was d N close call"

MAnte-Bellum Day.

With this differ ence. that the
threatened cleavage of the party
is not by reason Of a sectional
issue. ~ In ante-bellum days;
but the issue. II the democrats
are foolish enough to put their
foot in the trap now being set
and baited for them, will be %
disastrous for the perty. 20 fsr
q the campaign Of 1924 il con-
cernsd.
The issue that rent the party
in "a was a strictly moral and

that is threat ening the psrty's
existence in the coming year Of
grace 1924.
We are inclined to believe
thers ore no more wet demo.
Gratis than vet republicans. but
certain wet democratic politi-
clans seem bent on committing
the party to the vet side Of q
wet campaign. while the repub-
lican politicians. regardless Of
whether they are vet or dry, see
the dry espousel - their one
chance-psrticulsrly to cover
their tracks and muddle the is-
