One man suggests fixing up a wagon so that it cannot take fire and burning straw on it. driving back and forth as the straw burns.

There’s going to be a pie famine before the snow flies according to pastry cooks in various cities in the state. Not only is fruit for pies scarce, but it is also exceedinly high, and the average pie today costs from fifty to one hundred per cent more than it did a year ago. Even the good old custard pie, with milk and eggs up several notches, is expensive. Apples and peaches are scarce and highpriced and about the only thing left is the pumpkin, so that pumpkin pie will be something not to be sneezed at this fall and winter.

It looks odd to see farmers hauling loads of coal out to their homes from town, but that is what many of them are compelled to do. While there is plenty of wood in the county and large quantities of it are allowed to go to w-aste every year, owners of it object to letting their neighbors go in and make use of it for the reason that some of them take advantage of the privilege and take timber that they should not. Many farms are entirely stripped of wood and the only thing for those who reside on them to do is to buy wood or coal. At the present price of wood, soft coal is considered the cheaper and Tor that reason many farmers buy it.

PIPE-LINER HURT NEAR HERE “Hiromoneous” Spencer Had His Arm Crushed. C. A. Spencer, a well-known pipeliner, who is better known as Hiromoneous, suffered a painful accident while working for the Indiana Pipe Line company on a new line near DeI catur. He was lifting one side of a carrying bar on which was placed a joint of eight-inch pipe, weighing about 800 pounds, when the man on the other side shifted his end of the bar high enough that the pipe rolled down on Spencer’s arm. The muscles of the forearm were lacerated and the ligiments torn loose from the elbow. It will be some time before the arm is healed enough for him to resume work. He was brought to this city this afternoon and put under the care of a physician.— Bluffton Banner.
