Virginia and Georgia observed State

One Bad Break
FOLLOlUs Another.

St. Cloud-Life, during the last five
months, has just been series of bad
breaks" for Frank O'Keefe, local youth
who miraculously survived an 80-foot
fall in June, but suffered a fracture of
his right leg. After the leg had been
set and Frank was resting comfortably
in the st. Cloud hospital, he was told
the leg was not healing properly and
that it would have to be broken and
set all over again. Frank took the
news with his customary grin, but
grinning came lot harder last Sun
day afternoon when he slipped while
walking on crutches and re-opened the
fracture. Having eagerly looked for
ward to going home the following day
after having spent five months in a
hospital bed, Frank has to go through
the entire process once more. Mrs.
Thomas O'Keefe, the patients mother,
explained it might have been worse
than that, perhaps, the accident was all
for the best. Had Frank been taken
home the next day, she said, the ac-
cident could have happened just as
easily, but with, perhaps, more compli-
cations. The slip was very slight, for
Frank did not fall to the floor He was
being assisted by his physician at the
time of the miSStep.

Farmer Injured as
Separator ErpLOdes'

Granite Falls-One of the most Pc
culiar accidents to have occurred in
the Granite Falls community happened
one evening last week when a cream
separator on the Elmer Maxwell farm
in Hawk Creek township exploded,
seriously injuring Mr.. Maxwell, 40-year-
cid farmer Mr.. Maxwell had gone to
the barn to separate the milk with a
new separator. used only two times
previously When he failed to return
TO the house an hour later, his wife
investigated and found him lying in
a pool of blood. Being hurried to a
Granite Falls hospital, the physician
found a piece CT iron casting had
struck Mr.. Maxwell in the forehead
with sufficient force to break the heavy
frontal bone, forcing fragments of it
into the brain. The man was operated
on Immediately, the bone removed from
the brain, and he is now given fair
chance for recovery. The sight of the
right eye may be lost.

Workers Coat Joins
Runamage Sale Stock.

Granite Falls-"Charity begins at
home" is fine adage in its place, but
it looked quite strong to Mrs. Jack
Falkingham, w. G. T. u. worker, when
someone sold her own coat at the an
nual rummage sale held at the city
hall here. 1t all came about when
Mrs. Falkingham went to the city hall
to help other women conduct the sale.
Removing her coat, she folded it ard
placed it in one of the voting booths.
In manner unknown the coat was
taken from the poolh and hung with
other garments which had been don
ated for sale. Along came customer
who liked the coat and a co-worker,
not recognizing the garment TO be that
of Mrs. Falkingham, sold it to her
prospective customer. The humor of
the situation, although the incident was
regrettable, caused many a chuckle in
the city hall the afternoon of the rum

Then I went to a counter where I
saw something I wanted so badly I
could taste it. 1t being a silvered
Christmas tree stand that one could
pass along to the children and grand
children. Now the thing that made me
want the stand so badly was the Swiss
music box contained in it. The stand
plays four Christmas carols and slowly
revolveS turning the tree round and
round. Can you imagine anything more
beautiful than your Christmas tree

Good Samaritan"
Is Badly Repaid.

Hastings Offering assistance to a
young man, who presented himself at
the Ben Ista home in Washington
county late one afternoon, was an I'M
pleasant experience for Miss Myra Ista,
daughter of the family. With his arm
in sling and otherwise bearing MARKS
of having been injured, youth in his
teens" knocked on the door at the
Ista home and asked that someone
take him to doctor. Because Mr.. Ista
was engaged in duties about the house
their daughter offered to take the APP
parently injured youth to a doctor.
When once in the car and driving onto
highway 81, Miss ISta was directed to
drive to Cottage Grove, instead of to
Hastings. A short distance on the
Cottage Grove road and less than a
mile from her home the youth struck
Miss Ista and forced her from the car
A little later passerby noticed the car
by the roadside, the driver evidently
having motor trouble. Reaching Cot
tage Grove the motorist learned the
constable there had been informed of
the theft of the car, and recalling the
car he had passed was the Ista Dodge
sedan, both men returned to the spot
to find the car abandoned. No trace
Of the young man was found. Miss ISta
had walked to her home after having
been forced from the car.

Large Pumpkin
Serves Village.

Vesta-A huge pumpkin, grown by
Joe Rickel of this village, weighed Y
pounds and will make enough pumpkin
pies to serve Vesta's entire population.
The pumpkin, displayed in a local
restaurant show window during the last
weeks, has not started on its way to-
ward pumpkin pies. Cut and cooked
the pumpkin filled Is jars, and each
jar will make two large pies. Each pie
will cut into six pieces, making 1856
servings from one pun. kin. Cutting
each piece into two so that servings
would still be of fair size, there would
be one piece of pumpkin pie for every
man, woman and child in the village of
Vesta, with the exception Of a few Of
the newest arrivals who have not yet
reached the pie eating age.

Both Coal and Oil Burners
Haze Excellent Points.

A definite answer as to whether coal
or oil is the more economical for home
heating depends on many conditions,
says the bureau of agricultural engin-
eering after many years of testing both
fuels particularly oil and oil burners.
The Bureau has found, however, that
in actual consumption of fuel in small
round boilers such as are found in the
average home, one ton Of coal hand
fired is the equivalent of from $50 to
200 gallons of oil. Stoker fired or other
special ccal-burning furnaces are COM
monty more efficient. Differences in
cost of oil compared with coal are due
largely to differences in boiler efficiency
and in control of temperatures.
Coal furnaces often are wasteful of
fuel because they are poorly fired and
there is no authentic heat control
Temperatures in coal-heated homes
usually are kept down by opening win
dowS Or doors-a waSteful method
With coal heat some auxiliary heaters,
either gas or electric, are needed for
cool weather in early fall and late
spring. With coal heat, costs Of clean
ing and redecorating homes are greater
and often it is necessary to hire help
to tend the furnace.
On the other hand a change from
coal to oil often means a new boiler or
inefficient use Of the old one. In any
event, an oil heater may require an
expense of ST or more a month for gas,
electricity, or both, plus service charges
which with good burners properly in
stalled should be small.
Points in favor of both oil and coal
are summarized in new publication,

The original western terminus OF
the Mohawk trail was North Adams
and the eastern terminus was
Greenfield, Mass, but the road all
the way from Albany to Boston later
became known as the Mohawk trail.
Some people even call the road from
Albany to Buffalo part of the trail,
as a considerable part of the route
follows the Mohawk river.

Gus mishap, Mr.. zurn was carrying corn
stalks to his herd Of cows. Near the

a cow, one of her horns entering his
head through the left eye. 1t was

Arnoldy, chief of the state highway
patrol.
That the rank and file of the patrol
are fine young men, The Echo does not
deny, but that the patrol only met
1,666 motorists who failed to dim their
lights in one month is definitely tbs
fault of Mr.. Arnoldy, in its opinion.
Of course, The Echo could not sug-
geSt that any laxity in enforcing high
way regulations was in order to en-
barrass the state highway chief!

respect, lauded the work done by Nj
Comet in Minnesota If recollection
serves us right, he was the subject 81
several very laudatory statements made
by federal forestry official. But
whatever good Mr.. Comet has done in
the state by protecting the forest
lands of Minnesota this pales be-
fore the ruthless political onslaught Of
an administration that recognizes more
than anything else whether an official
