BOWERS BEACH

In 1917 a German man unknown to
any person in this part Of the county,
came to an old shack that stood un-
occupied along the bay shore between
Benefits pier and what is usually
called the woodland along the shore.
This German made his home in this
old shack and the only name he was
known by In this section was Wood
lander. He remained there until 1918
when through some channel he was
accused or adjudged a German spy
and was put under arrest and taken
away and put some where for about
four years. Then he came back to the
old shack and made it his home again.
In the mean time the shack had blown
or had fallen down with only the roof
remaining. So last fall he concluded
to change his home and came up to
South Bowers and entered the kitchen
part of one Of the small cottages and
remained there until last week. For
several days he was not to be seen
around any where so the men or a
number Of them concluded there must
be something unusual the matter with
him. They went to his shack and for
ced themselves in and found him
sick and not able to get out and in

Harrington High Wins Third in a Row
In the opening game Of the season
on the local grounds here Monday, the
high school lads showed the FELTON,
High School under, not allowing them
a run. This was only practice game
and not one of their regular games.
Coach Mullen used both his pitch
ers. Ryan only twirled three innings,
just enough to keep his arm in shape,
while Masten, the midget portsider,
finished the game.
The local boys poled out a total of
eleven hits and played almost error
less ball. Their drives were timely
and came when most needed. All of
the boys are likely to hit when least
and are sure to cause many
High School pitchers much worry this
season.

him necessary clothing, had him
cleaned from head to foot, his cloth

One Of the more amusing arguments
that usually come up among men
when they cOngregate in stores and
such places evenings is being argued
at this time here and in other nearby
towns and places as well and the
amusing part Of their arguments is
that that they are so Jealous and pos

wagering money on their knowledge
of the questions and await proofs of
the pudding. The question is which
way do the seeds of a watermelon
point when opened to the rine or

the question is discussed the contes-
tants or opinions are about equally

TEN MILLION
FORDS PARADE

They're oft Ten Million Ford
Cars in one parade.
With Ford No. 100000 SEIZED.
uled to cross the United States on
the Lincoln Highway, a genius for
figures has worked out the matter
of staging parade of the entire
100000 Model T Fords.
Here's the way he figures it.
The road selected is 24,S40 miles
long circling the earth at the equa-
tor. He parks the Fords in one place
at the side of the road, sets a pace
of twenty miles an hour for the
parade and starts the cars at in
tervals of thirty seconds.
Drivers are to have an eight-hour
day the same as that enjoyed by
all Ford employees, and are, of
course, to have Sundays, Christmas,
New Years and Fourth Of July off.
If you were inclined to watch
such a parade and would remain ,un-
til the last car passed, you'd have to
stock at. your place along the line
for thirty-two and a half years.
With all the Fords remaining in
line, it wouldn't be long before you
would find yourself in the center
of whirling corkscrew of cars, and
as the genius has already figured
it, if you remained to the finish
and were observant. you probably
would have noticed that the first
car passed you sixty-seven times
before the last or ten-millionth car
had left the parking ground.
Furthermore figuring Ford pro-
duction on the time basis of the last
million, 65 million more Ford cars
would have been built while you
were watching the parade.
