MT. LAKE PARK

To demonstrate that activity at the
Park at this time of year is not
so hot, and in proof of the theory of
Prof. Einstein that time and space
are the same, we have only to refer to
last Sunday morning.
A lady of our acquaintance arose
rather early and remembering that a
garment needed repairing, proceeded
with that task. Having finished, she
noticed porch blind that could stand
some repairs. No sooner noticed than
done. Then, finding time hanging
heavy, she jotted down number of
articles she wished to purchase at the
stores. Noting that her neighbors
were not stirring about and thinking
that she had gotten up earlier than
she intended, she hunted up her snip
pers and proceeded to trim about
twenty-five feet of her hedge. At
that point she was accosted by a
friend who inquired what she was
thinking about doing such work on
Sunday morning. She dropped her
shears and fled. She thought it was
Saturday.
1t looks as though we would have
something out of the routine to talk
about during the preseason activi-
ties, as the lineup is already taking
place in the ranks of those in favor
and those against the ratification of
the Act creating a new charter for
the Park, the referendum election be-
ing scheduled for July 81. Circulars
are this Wednesday, morning in the
hands of number of citizens setting
forth the points of the Act which the
writer evidently believes call for its
defeat. The circular is signed under
the name IN. B. Notabene", mean
ing mote we'll; take notice."

A painful accident occurred to Mrs.
Stella Sisler Tuesday when she at
tempted to drive horse from one
part of her lot to another. The horse,
belonging to Mr.. C. E. Hardesty, was
being used to pillow the garden of Mrs.
Sisler and had been allowed to crop
grass during the noon hour. When

imal, it kicked out with both feet,
