Sans vouchers for something they
didn't do, they are increasing 1t.
| Mr.. and Mrs. John Broedel and
Mrs. Carrie Ray were GAINESVILLE WIS.,
itors Wednesday of last week.
We read an article in the Pub,
! fishers Auxiliary of instructions to
writer's which worried rs quite Bit
then we found the following in
| our own hand writing which we
have a notion to send them. II
read thus:

Folks are always glad to hear about
your family. You can get repu-
,, tation If you make up at least half
column about your family. Be care
full about using too much space tell
/ ing about deaths-everybody has to
die. Be careful about saying some
thing different, never use new
terms. it might break the linotype
machine, and they cost money. The
editor might have to hunt for it
the dictionary. AS we figure that
we will not be at 1t more than an
other century we will continue in
the old rut-and let the young edu-
Gated folks give you the modern.
When you are born queer it's hard

We find we have cheaper postal
rates than when we lived up north.
We can send letter round by Bris-

through the traffic
1t seems Mr. Barrett had lot Of
men working for him during the
campaign that he didn't know about

and off duty in the woods.
Mrs. Lizzie Mcconnell was at the
Mrs. Sade Conger home, Woodgrove,
last week. Mrs. Conger and son Ell

the women and children, the aged,
and SO on, we feel that everyone ex-
cept towards will take their place to
help ward off the enemy.
When we called at the Matson
farm last week, we were surprised
to see the fine work being done by
Chester Roberts, who is in charge Of
the farm. His latest work is COM
bination wagon box and hay ladders,
which is an idea of his own. This
work must be seen to be appreciat-
ed.

Donald Mccormick and family
