SENECA LAKE

- SSAA~NA AAcAhCy 1NoNs 4Z-1 IlG DuhG,
Bethel Bates, returned home Satur-
day noon from his vacation.
No report on the finding on the
ear allment has come through as yet,
the Duke is feeling ''just lovely"
Marie Bates returned back on
Bates Hill Friday. Sid did not re-
turn with her. Sid went out on a
lake boat the next day he arrived
In Cleveland. Sid will finish out the
lake season. When he leaves the
Cleveland docks, he is generally
gone for two weeks before return
ing, his boat will return to Cleve-
land docks if they have cargo for
these docks.
Marie reports everything high in
Cleveland, food stuff out of proper
ton with what the price the farmer
gets here at home.
The Duke sold his eve sheep to
Bill and Dean Oliver; Arthur Rich
bought the weathers, the sales were
consumated on Saturday.
The Duke bought royal blood
cow from his daughter of Cumber-
land route, she is super-duper bo-
vine, gives milk the year around,
Nora says she is due fresh any day
The Duke will have her (the cow
transported home as soon as the calf
is able to walk. The Duke will sell
a cow from his present herd to make
stable room for the new boSsy, the
dropped COW will be Irve.
Election day in Seneca township,
weather was about as promising as
the candidates running for office
"all wet. TueSday-election went
along without any excitement, no
little brown jugs, red or clear
bottles. Most voted and went home,
some stayed and had dinner at the
old Jim Murphy (location) store
room, where the women of the
school had feed bags ready for any
one that was hungry. A good variety
of food was served, the money to go
to the school for the kiddies' lunches
at noon, at Mt. Ephraim.
Will and Ed Stephens were on
hand, looking confident of re-elec-
ton to office of trustee. We have
kidded these boys, lot, at times,
but they are good fellows, when
asleep, and this is most of the time,
happy dreaming, boys.
Dallas Bond says if it keeps on
ing raining, he will have his COW
bunking quarters ready for them be-
fore time is fit to husk the corn
Elmer Bond thinks things are too
quiet and peaceful in Mud gulch,
and some heavy foggy night, he
looks for the mystery ghost to come
out of hiding and start his bastard
ly work.
Shortages
Farmers are protesting against the
poultryless days, by Grating up their
sick chickens and shipping them to
the Washington boys and whistle
pigs to Columbus boys.
If we are short of this or that,
what of it, there is bound to come
day of plenty. Then when this
time has come and people become
fat, they will get sassy, and start
another war, this is the cycle of the
times. Washington is trying to tell
us there is shortage of grain. Any
one can take trip out among the
farmers, and find this is not true.
Europe can get all the wheat she
wants, here, at $3.50 a bushel and
corn at $225 a bushel, by placing
the money on the barrel head.
Caution
Every community, almost, have
their goSsipers. We hear some say,
they belong to this church or that
church. Then when one listens to
them talk, at times, one begins to
wonder. Genuine and true Christians
don't talk about their neighbors, gos-
sip is out of their line. It is a good
habbit to form, if one can't say some
good about a neighbor, silence then
is better, then they will suffer no
regrets. It is generally the ones that
have at least something to say about
their neighbors, that is good, never
nothing bad, these are our good
Christians. Going to church now and
then on Sunday, then gossiping
about certain neighbors, or all of
them, fault finding, is not being
Christian. Don't be schismiSt of
your neighborhood."
