Mr.. Sinclair Lewis, author of sew
eral books, once from Western pull
pill challenged God to strike him dead
with lightning. Divine Providence,
perhaps, having more important
things to attend to, ignored the chal-
lenge.
Now Mr.. Lewis writing novel to

then, if nothing happens, I'll never

DR.. Gantry begins "Elmer Gantry

by lightning this time, he may con-
clude that Providence is afraid of
him. Then, what surprise when

Professor Sauerbrucht tells Ger
man doctors that forty per cent of
consumptives are cured entirely and
another forty per cent returned to
useful work by surgical operations
on the lungs, cutting out lung patches
infected by tuberculosis. The idea
is not new. Several years ago this
writer saw such an operation per-
formed by DR.. Carrel, the great
French surgeon, at the Rockefeller
Institute, in the presence of John D.
Rockefeller, Jr. The operation was
performed on a dog.
Air under high pressure was pump
ed into the lungs of the dog to pre-
vent collapse of the lung cells, which
naturally would be caused by the at

as well go to the picture show. And
the first time the lights were turned
on, there was Alec up on front seat.
Enoch Budd, who has not been feel
ing like himself for a few weeks,
went to DR.. Trinkles yesterday to see
what was wrong. Doc started to ques-
ton him how he felt, but Enoch
wouldn't say much, for according to
his view that was what he was pay
ing Doc to find out.
Andrew Allen went over to Albany
last Saturday to visit his married
daughter. He meant to stay two or
three weeks, but he said all they had
for breakfast was a clean napkin
and a newspaper, which he couldn' t
sustain himself on only long enough
to think of a good excuse to come
home.
Some people in an automobile pass
ed through town yesterday and they
splashed lot of mud on John Penny
down by the flour mill. They stopped
and offered him two dollars to make it
right, but he wouldn't take anything.
And after Adam Bird heard about it,
he went and stood at the same place
good while thinking they might
come back that way.
Mrs. Howard Evans entertained the
Woman's Discussion Club last week.
She thought she had planned so that
nothing would go wrong this time,

and she couldn't understand at first
why so many of the members express
ed polite desire-to wash their hands.
And the reason was that her boy,
Chester, had taken hold of the front
door knob with sticky candy all over
his hands.
Mention was made recently how
whiting is fast becoming a lost art
among our citizens. And Uncle Bill
Bobbitt said it wasn't long ago that
give man a sharp knife, soft-piece
of popular, and shady place to lean
his chair, and he could sit and whittle
and look up at the fieecy clouds, and
get real surge of contentment out
of being here.
Miss Mabel Young, our telephone
operator, is sending off for a lot of
circulars that tell where to go on va
cations. She knows that she can't
go to such places, but she gets thrill
out of looking at the pictures and
imagining that she's going.
Tom Riley's four-year-old son, Billy

watching a cat wash its face, and he
thought so well of the idea that he
tried it that way himself.

INTERESTING EXPERIENCES OF
TRIP WRITTEN TO HIS OLD
FRIEND M. ]. OLDAUG.

Glendora, Cal. May 81, 1927. Dear
Mr.. Oldaug; In my last letter / told
you that would write about my trip
by water from Florida to California.
left st. Petersburg, Fla. April 7th
and stayed over night at Fl. Lauder
dale, N. B. Andersen's old home, and
the next day / went to Miami and
stopped at the Hotel Kun, which, by
the way is no good. Here l went to
see Mr.. w. A. Gold, and had to go
home with him and stay overnight.
They have new home and are all
we'll and happy. The next day he
took me over to Miami Beach. 1t was
a warm day and there were many in
bathing at the beach which is about
31a miles long.
On April 18th l left for Key West
by rail. From Long Key station the
train travelled over bridges, along
grades, and on islands that were COW
cred with brush and small trees. One
island near Key West was covered
with pine trees and palms, and here
/ stayed over night leaving the next
day on the boat Governor Cobb for
Havana. There were some white caps
on the gulf and after the boat had
swayed from side to side for awhile
/ felt just like the boat and had to
lie down for few hours. The trip
across took six hours.
Havana is beautiful city with a
population of about 100000. Some
of the store buildings cover an entire
block and have arcades across. The
streets in the old city are all about
20 feet wide with foot sidewalks
and some of these have street cars,
so that you may see street cars, au-
toes, wagons and push carts, all going
in the same direction, passing each
other wherever there is an opening.
/ took a 40 mile auto trip along
the water front through points of in
terest to farm and garden demon
stration, and later went across the
island from north to south to the Car
ribean sea. On the way l saw ba-
mana, pineapple and sugar planta-
lions. All of the farm work is done
by oxen and the hauling is done on
two wheeled carts drawn by one mule.
The people have many saddle ponies
and carry much of the feed on these.
A pony with bunch of hay or cane
leaves slung on each side with a rope
over the saddle is common sight.
/ next took 140 mile trip to the
Bellamar caves, and on the way there
saw several dairy herds, just cows of
all sizes and colors with open sheds
for shelter. There were no barns. The
farm houses were low affairs, about
feet high, IA to 16 feet wide and
20 to 25 feet long with matched roofs
of Royal Palm leaves. l also saw
hemp farm near the cave.
April 25th / sailed from Havana on
the boat Manchuria which is much
larger boat than the one | came over
in and the waves did not affect it
nearly as much. We arrived at Colon

F. G. Kun1n Writes OF
Panama Canal Trip

at o'clock in the morning, passing
on through the Gatun Locks. On the
way I saw many wild banana trees
in the woods and along the canal saw
some coffee plants. At three o'clock
in the afternoon we debarked at Bal
boa and took a street car to Panama
City. Here / went to the postoffice to
mail some post cards and from there
to the park in the business section of
town when it started to rain, or rath-
er, to pour. l had intended to take
sight seeing tour in a one horse
buggy, of which they use many here,
but as the boat left at ten o'clock
/ could not find the time.
Travel by boat is much more COM
Portable than by train, bus or auto.
On the boat the folks danced every
evening except Sunday, from Z till
9 o'clock. During the day they play
ed shuttle board and other games.
We landed at San Diego May 9Th, and
took trip to Tia Juana, Old Mexico,
but did not stop there over night.
l shall tell you about that place when
l see you.
After staying a few days at San
Diego l went to Santa Anna, Hunt
ington Beach, and Long Beach. Sum-
day May 18th my daughter Leila with
her family and Arthur came to take
me with them as Leila said it was
about time somebody stopped me
from gallivanting all over the world.
Sincerely yours
