FAIR OAKS. Health is generally quite good ■with us this week. Miss Lula .Moore of Lafayette is visiting with her aunt, Mrs. Bringle, since last week. F. R. Erwin went to Indianapolis Monday as a delegate to the Democratic state convention. Joe Winslow, carrier on Route 2, after his 15 days leave of absence, returned to work Tuesday. We were visited Tuesday night with a pretty heavy shower and since then it has been quite cool. The play at the Gundy hall Saturday evening was well attended and all had a good time, it is reported.

Charles Halleck has several hands at work digging soft maple trees in the Kankakee swamps for shade trees. , Rev. Postilf was here Sunday and delivered a very fine sermon to a good-sized audience in the M. E. church. Jake Spitzer and wife went to Evanston, 111., last Sunday where he had a job as chauffeur, but he returned Tuesday. Little Charles Gundy, who has been having a seige of scarlet fever, is getting along fine and is apparently well, but is still confined to the house.

Uncle Harry Harold has the basement for his new’ bungalow about finished and also has the lumber on the ground. The canpenter work will begin soon. A very successful term of school came to a close in our town last Tuesday. Our teachers certainly are deserving of much credit for their work here this term. William Faylor, who has been very much under the weather the past two months, has gotten able to be about but cannot do any work. He moved in town the first of the week. They occupy the Dodge property. Dr. Kresler of Rensselaer was called Monday evening to see Can Manderville, who has been suffering for several days with kidney trouble.

He bought it of the Korth agency, up west of Roselawn. Mr. Erwin’s Took their first trip with it Sunday afternoon when they drove down to Brook.

MAM IN RENSSELAER TRY SIMPLE MIXTURE Many Rensselaer people are surprised at the QUICK action of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka. This simple remedy acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel, removing surprising foul matter that ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE constipation, sour stomach or gas. A few doses often relieve or prevent appendicitis. A short treatment helps chronic stomach , trouble. -The INSTANT, easy action of Adler-i-ka is astonishing.—-A. F. LONG. Druggist.

RIVERSIDE. Wayne Brown spent Sunday with his beloved, and looked quite sleepy Monday. Mallie Clark was a business caller On Samuel Paype at the Salsbury ranch Tuesday. The county assessor of Rensselaer and Assessor Potts of Barkley were the guests of Assessor Delehanty Friday. People are so busy farming hqjb they have no time to do anything important enough to appear in print. However, we would all be very thankful for a little more favorable weather than the entire spring has been.

Taken with Croup “A few nights ago one of my patrons had a child taken with croup,” writes M. T. Davis, merchant, Bearsville, W.

GANDERBONE’S FORECAST FOR MAY.

May gets its name from Maia, who was one of the wives of Vulcan. /She was a woman very much like Isadora Duncan, and the first maypole was put up by Jupiter in an effort to see over the crowd on the occasion of her appearance as Queen of the May. She seems to have occupied a middle ground in interpretative dancing between the extreme athleticism of Favlowa and the more subdued tone jumps of Gertrude Hoffman. It is not clear whether she and Venus, who was also the wife of Vulcan, were the same woman, but it is unlikely. Vulcan, like Henry Ford, was one of those people who somehow get everything. It was always a great puzzle to other people. The explanation seems to have been that he had an absolutely true conception of values. Instead of going in for any of the heroic things of life, as almost everybody else did, he stuck to his blacksmith shop, increased its output from day to day, and made good vulcanizing available at a low’ price. Mars, who made war, laughed at this, as did Pan, who made music, anti Mercury, who

was an athlete. Some of the other members of the Olympian pantheon who were doing what they could for agriculture, fruit raising and other productive pursuits, took Vulcan seriously; but it was not until people were struck by the beauty of his wives, the immensity of his fortune and the plaudits by which he was everywhere greeted, that the whole truth of man’s usefulness to man dawned upon them. The Greeks and Romans have said that there was in their mythology a guide to every course in life, and there probably was. It was Caesar who gave Maia

a place in the calendar. He sard something should be done to set the sort of dancing she did apart from that commonly seen in dance halls, and he therefore named for her the month of May. There was, of course, a tremendous protest from those who admired other dancers more, and Caesar was finally assassinated by Brutus and Casca, who were conducting a tour of the empire at the time by the Russian ballet. ,

The festive calf will show us how The Russians circled round to France, And bits of color will endow The somewhat commonplace expanse. The father of the sweet June bride Will dig a trench around his bank, The happy motorist will ride About with water in his tank, The girls will playfully reverse Their hose-lined boots for summer wear, The greedy plumbers will disperse And leave to get the mountain air, The people swatting flies will call For what the wary game may fetch, And Wilson, Roosevelt, et al, Will softly thunder down the stretch.

The fierce pacifist will pursue prer paredrtess from hall to hall, and where the skies are more than blue the mating meadowlark will call. The hired man will pound his ear beneath the new and grateful shade, the soda fountain clerk will cheer the populace with lemonade, the farmer will survey his wheat and look at costly limousines, the dread mosquito will repeat its former drives upon the screens, the gardener will sell us beets at 10 or 15 cents apiece, the fashion show upon the streets will make us signal the police, the tourist will decide to see which way his country runs and where, the bullfrog will announce the key and start the music everywhere, the whippoorwill’s shrill notes shall rise to greet the great and golden moon, and the cunning widow will devise her deadfall for the coming June.

Alas for kings and kingly scraps, how happy might we all become to see the winter quite collapse and hear the bees begin to hum. But fight as Europe madly will, her moods are merely for a day—the things that make the poet thrill and vocalize are here to stay. When emperors are quite forgot, and submarines are hauling freight, we still shall thank our mortal lot that spring is knocking at the gate. It little who shall rule, or whose battalions are the best, so long as Phoebus still shall tool in silent splendor to the west. It will not matter who was right, nor greatly matter who was wrong, so long as in the still of night the mocking bird shall sing its song. The things which war cannot destroy are most worth having anyway, so why resort to killing joy and drive a lot of people gray?

If kings 1 could keep their royal shirts On long enough to think it'out. They'd cease to do us such great hurts As chasing one's own kind about. They’d simply meet, as wise meh must, And say, “Now, what’s the use to fight? We pound the planet into dust, And time repairs it in a night. We leave no more impress upon The things that finally prevail

This Farmer Figured It Out “Smith says the kind of fertilizer I bought before the war for S3O per ton will cost me $35 now.

Than if we had not come and gone And scattered ruin on our trail. The self-same earth comes back as green As ever grass grew in a glen, And 10, there wanders on the scene The self-same kind of men.”

May day was originally celebrated by ancient apartment house owners as the day on which they ceased to be responsible under their Contracts for heating the buildings. They usually had a parade, and there were athletic contests for janitors. The idea that janitors might be athletic was typical of both Greek and Assyrian rumor, which was very subtle. There will be a new arrangement of the planets during the month. Jupiter and Venus, which are both very brilliant, will act together as morning stars and see if they can keep the Carranzistas in line, while Mercury, Mars and Saturn, oftentimes an effective combination, will be morning stars, having as their chief object the task of keeping congress behind the President. No eclipse has been planned for the month, and it is not thought that any will be necessary. The moon will be full on the 17th. Villa will ,be at perihelion with our army on the 20th, when we will get within 200 miles of him. Then June will come to gild the skies Where true love ever becks, And people making war supplies Will give their daughters
