HAPPLNINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

JACKSON TP., NEWTON COUNTY Crop prospects are good. Rains the latter part of last week put the finishing touches on wheat and rye. All roads, of course, will lead to Hazelden, on the raging Iroquois, the Fourth. Miss Mary Jane Phillips of St. Anne, 111., is visiting here with her grandmother, Mrs. Makeever. A merciful man is merciful to his beast. Give the poor work horse a drink between meals these hot days. Oscar Holley is preparing to build a new house, and Walter Blankenbaker is getting lumber sawed for a new barn. Mrs. Elizabeth Schanlaub, who had been piaking her home with her daughter in Missouri, • has returned tc her home in Mt. Ayr. “Man,” Henry Ford is quoted as saying, "is a dam fool.*' And oft in the starry night we have said to ourself: “ ’Enry isn’t so far off at that.” Clarence Blankenbaker is building what will probably be the largest hog house in Jackson township. His brother Wilbur is doing the work. Some of those Republican U. S. senators, it would seem, are destined to learn that you can’t fool all of the people a darn bit of the time. What has become of that hemp industry in northern Newton county? Hope it hasn’t gone the way of the sugar beet, the kidney bean and the crimson onion. Commissioner George Hillis claims to have bluegrass on his Colfax township farm that is 12 inches long—or was it 12 feet? Anyway it is home bluegrass. Republican newspapers are making mention of Mr. Taft as a presidential possibility in 1920. Not a word, however, about Bine Coon of Missouri or Bill Thompson of Chicago. „ Soon the good hausfrau will rise up in the gray dawn of morning, hitch the mouse-colored gelding to the family chariot and line out for the berry patch, while the husband of her bosom lies in bed and dreams in a loud open-face manner of the ruinous tariff on hides and guano. Just north of William Herron s residence may yet be seen traces of the last log school house in Jackson township. It was here that some of our oldest residents mastered the art of readin, ’rltin’ and ’rithmetlc, spoke pieces and attended Thursday night prayer meetin’. A number of farmers in this vicinity report having injured their potato crop by the too free use of bug poison. The 1919 style of potato bug takes to poisonous dopes

.as readily as a nigger takes to cheap gin, with this slight difference in the way of results, tne nigger’s favorite beverage sometimes -causes death. We are pained to note that Senator Lodge, Jim Watson and a few others of the same kidney are going to knock the league of nations higher than Gilderoy’s kite. Once there was a hen that trifed to work up a reputation by laying a goose egg. The result is all too well known —a broken egg and the ruination of a perfectly good hen. Bachelor Jack Brown took the writer for an automobile ride over in eastern Illinois a day or so ago. The corn crop in that section is simply fine and here, too, we saw seme of the best rye fields of the season. The two saloons, one at Beaverville and one at Papenau, are still in operation, a fact clearly attested by the “dead soldiers” that manured the roadsides for miles. At sight of all this carnage Jack burst out crying fit to kill. Said it awakened memories of “The Charge of the Gallant Six Hundred,” in which one of his ancestors participated.
