The city will borrow $4,000
until 1928 on March Is when it is
to be paid. This was a motion
unanimously adopted at meeting
Of the city, council last night. This
amount to be credited to the gem
eral revenue account and is being
borrowed on a revenue bond Civ
ING first lien on tax collections of
1928; The total interest to the
time stated will be $500. 1t was
shown that the expense of operat-
ing the golf course is approx
mately $1,000 each month, and it
was deemed unwiSe to close the
links until the opening of next
season. The general funds owes
the golf fund $4,000 which had
been borrowed by the revenue
fund to meet payrolls. This must
be replaced in order to keep the
golf course in operation. Coun-
Gilman Sawyer first made a motion
to borrow $4,000 for this purpose.
The matter of the next city pay
roll was discussed when Council
man Russell said he would second
the motion if the amount was
doubled and to be taken from the
same source.

FAST, HAD THESE LITTLE TOADS.
but sturdy little folk, bright-eyed and
growing more Independent every day.
So little by little they moved on
across the Green Meadows, becoming
more scattered the farther they got.
But still there were 50 many that
when all we're hopping about in pur-
suit of insects it seemed as # the
ground was covered with them.
At last they reached the edge Of
Farmer Browns door yard, and there,
a. jolly, round. bright Mr. Sun began
his daily climb up In the blue. blue
sky, they hid in all sorts Of places
and under all sorts Of things. Some
had crossed over to Farmer Browns
house and several Of these found
shelter under the doorstep, dark,
cool and very comfortable place.
Mother Brown did a washing that
morning and hung the clothes out
to dry. Not Toad. big or little. was
to be seen anywhere. That after
noon, after the clothes were dry, q
sudden shower came up. Mother
Brown ran out to take in the clothes
as the first big drops came splashing
down. She hastily gathered up an
armful and turned to run back to
the house. Then, just for second,
she paused in something very like
dismay. There were little Toads hop
ping about between her and the
doorstep. She glanced hastily to one
side. only to find little Toads there.
She looked to the other side, with
the same result-little Toads hop
ping this way, little Toads hopping
that way, little Toads hopping every
way. In the hurry she was in 1t
was with the greatest difficulty that
she avoided stepping on one.
The shower was one of those sud-
den hard showers that last but q
few minutes. BY the time 1t was
over the whole dooryard was alive
with little Toads. Anyway. that is
the way it seemed to Mother Brown
when she looked out. They were in
the grass. They were in the drive
way. When she went to a front
window and looked out she could
see them hopping all over the road.
A car couldn't possibly have been
driven along that road without
crushing dozens of them.
MY land!" exclaimed Mother
Brown. Il have heard that Toads
sometimes rain down, but never be-
heved it before"
And you don't believe it now" said
Farmer Brown, who happened to
come In just in time to hear that
remark.
Il do. tool" she declared. If they
didn't rain down, where did they all
come from? At the beginning Of the
shower I ran out to get the clothes
from the line and there wasn't q
Toad in sight. By the time I started
back for the house they were every
where"
Didn't any hit you in falling, did
there?" asked Farmer Brown.
No" admitted Mother Brown.
Didn't see any bouncing OIL the
roofs Of the buildings, did you?" con-
tinued Farmer Brown.
NO." was the somewhat reluctant
admission again.
"Of course, you didn't" said he.
Those little Toads didn't rain down.
They arrived during the night and
were hiding under all sorts Of things,
anything that would cover them from
the sun. The first drops Of rain
brought them out"

Of Old Mr. Toad, did all his

important thing. In the cool of the

Taddy came out to hunt for mos

to continue his journey out into the

TOWN IN IOWA OF 500
is WITHOUT CHURCH

WALcoTT, Iowa R).-This town of
500 inhabitants is the only one in Iowa
without church, and possibly the only
town in the United States without a
church building, congregation, church
services or q minister
More than 10 years ago a group Of
Germans who had left their home
land because of the confusion of relig-
ious faiths founded Walcott. Although
they believed in God and continued
private worship, they did not build a
church then nor has one ever been
built here
A few years ago church in Daven-
port, l3 miles east of here, purchased
tract of land in Walcott and planned
to build branch church here. But
they failed to get the support of the
citizens and the project was aban-
doned.
Walcott boasts Of having no public
debt, no persons on relief and no va
cant houses.

RAIN MUCH NEEDED

and there is real danger lest young

fields NAV wither and die unless there
is necessary precipitation in a very

with tobacco for want of moisture.
Very little rain has fallen here in
three weeks. The dry season, more
over has struck just at the time of
nlanting. Many fields have had to be
watered as they were planted, but this
watering was of brief duration, and
the !lants have hardly had time to
stretch root deep enough to reach the
moisture in the sub-soil region.
There has bee little said of seri-
ous shortage of plants in this section,

DEVASTATION OF BEETLE

Worcester County farmers and 9TH
ers interested in the agricultural in
dustry, will have an opportunity to
visit Cecil County, Maryland, and
view the devastation caused by the
Japanese Beetle. Due to the increase
in the number of beetles found in this
area, it seems most appropriate that
our agricultural leaders see just what
damage is being done in areas which
are heavily infestated.
This insect feeds on over two hun
dred varieties of plants, many of
which are of great Importance local

trip Thursday, July 22nd, should
