HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

FAIR OAKS Health still continues good in these parts. The militia boys of this section are getting ready to leave here Sunday. Bert and Leslie Warne autoed to the Kankakee Thursday to try their luck at fishing. Rev. Hensley was here Sunday and delivered, as usual, a couple of splendid sermons. Les Warne, who had been working near Blackford, resigned and returned to Fair Oaks Wednesday. Mr. Allen, the hotel man, sold his old “Lizzie” last week and bought a new one to take care of his livery business. “Aunt” Hannah Culp went to Lee the first of the week to see her only brother, who was expected to drop off at any time. Lou Palmeteer, who moved here from Indiana Harbor a month ago, moved back last Sunday by auto .truck. Country life is too slow for him. We have been having some very severe hot weather the past week or two and are beginning to need rain. We were favored with a light shower Wednesday; evening but need much more. The oats harvest is moving along very nicely and will nearly all be in the shock by Saturday night. Hands are very scarce and farmers are very much in need of help to shock oats and make hay. Haymaking will be very much of a drag on account of the scarcity of help.

Mrs. F. L. Yeoman of Hanna came down Wednesday to visit her niece, Mrs. Otto Cedarwall, a day or two, then will visit her brother, Abe Bringle, a few days and then go to Rensselaer and visit her brother, William Bringle, and other relatives in Jordan township and Jesse Bringle’s in Newton county. G. H. Hillis and little son were mixed up in a runaway Tuesday and the boy was quite padly bruised, while Mr. Hillis was somewhat stove-up about the neck and shoulders. The mule he was drjv-, ing to a single buggy got scaredMT a motorcycle and become unmanageable. It ran away, broke the buggy which ended with the abdve results. A doctor of Morocco was called to give them the necessary treatment. While the boy was unconscious for some time, the doctor thought he would pull through, however.

WHEATFIELD

The hot weather is surely pushing the corn. A baby girl arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence McDaniel Sunday. The farmers here intend to sow a larger acreage of wheat this fail than was ever put out in these parts. The large demand and the high price is surely a good incentive. While F. W. Fisher was going to town the other day with his auto filled with eggs a Tefft auto ram into him, putting his car into the ditch and breaking the eggs. No one was hurt, and the car sustained only minor damage. This —week will almost end thesmall grain harvest in these parts. This is the first time in years that the rye, wheat and oats were cut in the order named without any delay, for as quick as one crop was harvested another was ready.

DROVE FORD CAR TO SEATTLE

are marked with a red band bounded by :»o white hands, one above, and one below the red. The roads through Minnesota and North Dakota were excellent except in The bad lands of North Dakota, and there they were fair. The Red traiOakes you to Miles City, Montana There you hit the Yellow trail. Between Miles City and Forsyth, Montana, the roads are rather rocky, with steep grades and narrow roads right on the edge of cliffs. They look rather dangerous but we got through alright. These roads are so narrow that if you meet anyone, one of yon has to back up until you find a suitable place to pass, and backing isn't always so easy around a steep curve. I think you will find the roads through Montana the rest of the way excellent unless it becomes rainy. When we came through Billings it had beeh raining .or snowing for two or three months and the roads were impassable. We had to wait four or five days for the rain to quit. The" roads there are made of a soil called “Gumbo'* and are very bad, slippery and sticky when wet. but they say that in July or August they become hard and smooth as concrete pavement. After getting through Missoula follow —the — Sunset —highway' which" takes you all the way to Seattle. This highway is excellent except in Blewett pass and sometimes in Snoqualmie pass in the Cascade mountains in Washington. Blewett pass is similar to the country between Miles City and Forsyth, only it has beeh graded better, but there is a great deal of “cliff” work and ’ narrow roads. Snoqualmie pass was impassable until the first of July. When we arrived near it there was eight feet of snow in the pass and we had to ship oar Ford a distance of fortyseven miles. This was about June ,21. It cost $13.20 to ship the Ford and $1.40 ea h for the. passengers. They say that now the road is very good through Snoqual-, mie. We carried a tent strapped to the side of the "Ford” but it was bulky and inconvenient through the mountains so we shipped it from Billings. Most of the time we stopped with farmers on the way out. We asked if we might sleep in their hay if they had hay barns, as we carried comforters, blankets and pillows with us. We slept in beds, sanitary cots, hay barns, oats bins, bunk houses, tents, etc. We certainly got a little taste of what a tramp’s life is like. The further West you go the more hospitable the people are. Most everybody treated us like some of their nearest relatives come to visit them. Seattle is lively now. There is so much ship building. The men who work there make from $3:50 to SIO.OO per day (8 hour day) and when they work overtime they get double pay. There is all kinds of

work around those ship yards, too. I think 1 will look for a job there pretty soon. Just now there is a street car strike on and the “jitneys” and “free "buses” are taking care of all the transportation.

NO LOOKING BACK IN RENSSELAER

New Evidence Constantly Being Published. Since the long succession of Rensselaer reports were first published in the local press there has been no looking back. Rensselaer evidence continues to pour in, and—better still —-those whose reports were first published many years ago, verify all they »said in a most hearty and unmistakable way. Read the experience of Mr. Jacob R. Wilcox, retired farmer. He says: “I suffered from backaches and severe pains across my loins. I couldn’t rest day or night and was tired and worn out. The kidney secretions were highly colored and contained sediment. Nothing seemed to relieve me uptjl I got Doan’s Kidney Pills from B. F. Fendig’s drug store. They relieved the aches and pains, I could rest better night-s and the passsages of the kidney secretions were regulated.” (Statement given May 31„ 1 907). On February 29, 1916, Mr. WilcfiT said- “I continue—recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills as a reliable medicine. They have never failed to do good work.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Wilcox has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Mdlburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

THUNDER STORM INFORMATION

Many People Are Needlessly Alarmed at Lightning. If you are out of doors., in a very severe electrical storm, the Electrical Experimenter offers the following rules for your protection: 1. Keep away from wire fehces. They may carry a dangerous electrical charge long distances. Cattle in pastures are frequently killed from the neglect of farmers to ground the wire of the fence. 2. Keep away from hedges, ponds and streams. 3. Keep away from isolated trees. Oak trees are frequently struck; beech are seldom struck. It is safe in a dense forest. 4. Keep away from herds of cattle and crowds of people. 5. po not hold an umbrella over you. 6. It is safer to sit or lie down in an open field than to stand. 7. Drivers should dismount and ‘ not stay close to their horses.

—sh —Du not work with any~large metal tool or implement. If you keep indoors: 1. Keep away from the Stove and chimney. The hot gases from the chimney may conduct the lightning to and down the chimney. 2. Do not take a position between two bodies of metal, as the stove and water pipe, for example. An exception to being near metals is the case of an iron bed. One of the safest places is on a mattress in an iron bed, provided you do not touch the metal. The metal surrounding you makes a safe cage which will prevent the lightning from reaching a person inside. 3. Do not stand on a wet floor qor draw water from the well or faucet. 4. Do not stand directly under a chandelier, near a radiator, nor on a register. 5. Do not use the telephone. The Philippine Islands are very productive of begonias and a California begonia expert is responsible for the statement that of late some sixty species and varieties never known to commerce have of late been found in our far eastern insular possessions. It is feared, however, that all of these need tropical temperatures and, therefore, are only subjects for greenhouse culture.

In Mexico, the hat is the symbol of a man’s standing in the community. The grandees of old Spain enjoyed the privilege of standing covered in the royal presence. The result was that they vied 4 with one another in the size and splendor of their hats; and the common people followed this example as best they might. In time, therefore, the hat became as distinctive on the heads men as the mantilla oa those of the women.
