PROVIDED QUEER
HOME FOR YOUNG

Nature provides queer homes
for its feathered people, but we
have yet to hear of a more re-
markable family abode than
that which we saw at the
O'Gara Garage, while, making
our rounds last week. Mr.. and
Mrs. English Sparrow have set
up house keeping within the
confines Of the garage. They
were unlimited but owing to
their resourcefulness they have
been permitted to remain.
On the rear wall of the gar
age, a hole in one Of the tile
has provided a home for five
little sparrows, who at every
opportunity stick their tiny
beaks out for choice worms or
other food, which Mr.. and Mrs.
Sparrow bring to them. They
cling to the side of the wall and
feed the little birds.
They seem to know when the
garage door is closed for the
night, for the old sparrows are
usually inside and about their
brick home when closing time
comes.

Sign Eight Game
Football Schedule
Includes Four Home Games
Lighted Field May Not Be
Completed In Time

With the approach of the coach
es' worrying season when coaches
generally fail to see the right
prospects" Coach Gene Harvey, Of
the high school footballers is not
running true to form.
This week he announced an
eight game schedule, complete
with four home games, looked over
the roster Of returning lettermen,
weighed the advantages against
those Of last year and decided he
wasn't sitting so bad after all. The
Of the schedule
brought the comment from him
that the practice season would
open September 1. Starting at that
early date gives only little more
than two weeks practice before
the schedule opens on the 18th.
Nine returning lettermen among
them three year strongmen Bel
linger and Hoffman as the most
advanced students prompted the
favorable outlook for the 1898
season. Headed by Captain Ray
Walker, end, the rest Of the letter
men include: Pickett, end; Egan,
H., guard, Bellinger, tackle, Fish.
quarterback; Cokeley, half; Bohn,
center; Ethun, half; Hoffman, full
back.
Three lettermen who are on the
absentee list having taken the dip
Iona route from the squad are
former captain John Egan, Royale
Arvig, and Potter.
Likely candidates to make a fight
for the two open positions and to
make things difficult for the re-
turning lettermen to maintain
their slots in the team include
Berggreen, Joe Beste, Kind, Krin-
gen, Pangburn, Rasmussen, Rattle,
Rivette, Vandesteeg, Hunt, and
Conkey.
One new team graces the sched-
ule for this season-a strong out
fit from the north, Morris. Hold
ing high hopes that this season
would find the home games played
under the lights, Harvey is now
not so certain that lights will be
installed. It is doubtful If the new
ly seeded field at the Fair Grounds
will have approached a playing
turf by fall.
The schedule:

NEW WORKERS ACE HIGH
HONEST ABE" PAYS UP

Like the Honest Abe" who
walked miles after work to re-
fund an overcharge, this 1887
Honest Abe travelled half
way across the continent via
Uncle Sans mails to pay a bill
so Main Street would not be
prejudiced against New York
ers. The man who signed him
self as ABE" and who certainly
deserves to be prefixed with an
honest" has put New Workers
ace high in the eyes of Main
Streeters-and especially with
Allan Meigs Of the Waldorf.
Abe sent a letter this week
from New York City to Mr..
Meigs stating in his haste to get
back into the bus he had neg
lected to pay for his check.
I'm reluctant" he said, ito let
it slide for fear you may be un-
justly prejudiced to the spirit of
a true New Yorker"
Enclosed with the letter from
Abe was a Waldorf check and a

Rain
High For Six
Year Period
Precipitation Of 2.62 Inches
Reported BY Father
Reflex

A bolt of lightning played freak
ish tricks Sunday evening when it
danced about playing tag with it.
self in the farm home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Emil Carlson on the Mark
maitland farm near Fairy Lake.
Lightning accompanied high winds
in a rainfall that marked a six
year high for a single precipita-
ton with 2.62 inches recorded
throughout the night.
The rain, that followed Sundays
soaring winds, brought relief to
drying corn fields, and spilled
more than 10000 gallons of water
per acre Of land, according to the
records Of Father Henry Reflex,
Of West Union. The tremendous
volume Of water poured from the
sky in a few hours Is evidenced In
the fact that an inch Of rainfall
covers each acre with liz tons of
water. The rain was followed with
other showers and hot weather on
Monday.
High winds that accompanied
the heavy rains sent farmers back
into harvested fields righting tum-
bled shocks that had not settled.
In some areas wind was reported
responsible for whipping corn
stocks. Most beneficial property Of
the storm was to allay the soaring
heat Of the winds Sunday. Damage
to silos was reported in sections
southwest of this city.
Lightning struck in the farm
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Carlson
when a bolt entered the chimney.
The bolt flashed around indoors,
broke out through the brick in sew
en- places, passed through a kero-
sene can splitting the contents, SOL
dered two other tins together in
its wild flight, and escaped the
building out the back Of the house.
Through it all the family was un-
harmed. And in spite Of its contact
with inflamagle materials no fire
resulted.
Meanwhile fire southwest Of the
city cast its reflection against the
sky from a blazing straw stack on
the farm Of Tony Bieringer. The
stack was straw, newly threshed,
and Mr.. Bieringer was unable to
determine the origin Of the blaze.
Heavy rains quelled the blaze In a
short time.

Scouts Camped
At Fairy Lake
Three Scouts At Spmlx Lake For
For Council Camp OF
Nawaukwa

The potent odor Of Collinsonia
canadensis (citronella, or mosqui-
to dope, the pungent odor Of
smoke from a half dozen camp
fires arose from the scattered
tents and Scout-rigged shelters
when Scouts of Troop Is swung
under way in the late summer ac-
tivites last Wednesday evening
with an overnight hike at Fairy
Lake. Following the hike Scout
masters met Monday evening to
lay out a program that would car
ny Scout activities we'll into the
early part of September.
Announcement was made that
the meeting next Wednesday even
ing would feature ice cream, the
gift Of the veterans Of Foreign
Wars, for the abdominal cavities
of the Scout troop. Other meetings
planned call for a REPETITION of the
over night hike.
Rotary's new president, Carl
Fischer, representing the sponsor
ing organization for Troop rs, talk
ed to the overnight group before
the Pickering light Of the camp
fire. He drew a comparison of the
Rotary Club and the Scout organ
ization. And asked only that the
club could be proud Of the Scout
troop"
Everything went fine until the
lighting of the Council fire, usual
ly a solemn OCCASION, when the
Scouts were to duplicate an old
Indian rite. In all solemnity Scout
Bob Rattle called on the Fire Spir-
it-but it was the spirit who walk
ed out for a nap. For the oiled rag
that was to come down out Of the
tree on a wire did not accept the
light from the match. Other activ-
tiles included the building Of a
frog farm and fighting mosquitoes.
This week three Scouts left for
Avon on Spunk Lake for the Coun-
Gil camp of Nawaukwa. John Par
ker, Jim Cooper. and Donald Krin-
gen were the three and they will
be in camp there for week. Camp

1908 she was united in marriage to
James Rice.
Up to last winter when she NOV
ed to Sank Centre she had made
her home with her son, Harold, on

civic and religious organizations,

ems Relief Corps, the Daughters OF
the American Revolution, the Re
bekah Lodge, the Women's Christ

Congregational Church.
She was one Of the early MEM

BOSTON PRELATE
SPEAKS ON WAR
Cardinal O'CCnneIl Fears
Christian Civilization Is
in Grave Danger

Boston, Jan. 4--U.P.)--Another
World War might well result In the
destruction Of Christian civilization,
particularly In Europe, according to
william Cardinal O'Connell, dean Of
Americas Catholic hierarchy.
Greedy ambitions" Of q few men
were blamed for current European
unrest by the 77-year-old head Of
the Boston archdiocese at Holy
Name Sunday services. Such condi-
lions are unprecedented In the his
tory Of the Christian world, Card
inal O'Connell told 1000 members Of
the Holy Name Society.
Faith IN Cod, he said, "is the
only strength for you and there
alone is peace from the men who
for their own greed, and utterly un-
mindful of the sufferings Oe others
seek to satisfy their greedy ambi-
tiors."
Too Long To Analyze
The Cardinal said 1t would take
"too long to analyze the causes for
the current unrest, discomfort, re-
bellion and, worst Of all, threats Of
worldwide connagration. Again
and again, the church has warned,
but the warnings have fallen on the
deaf ears Of those who might have
prevented such things.
what Is there now left for us
Catholics to do but to pray God to
avert the storm which might well be
the destruction Of Christian civiliz-
alton. certainly perhaps In the old
world, and to give US in this coun-
try, our beloved America. the proper
respect for laws and the proper
spirit to enact legislation"
