Martin's "Sunday clothes" and
burned a hole part way through
the floor. It is supposed the fire
started in some manner from
matches left in the pocket of a
pair of overalls and smoldered all
night in the room, which happened
to be unoccupied. So much smoke
resulted that an alarm was turned
in, and the entire town responded.
Fire hose was laid and a stream of
water had been turned on when the
origin of the smoke was discov.
ered.
One of the Weston boys in train
ing at O. A. C. to- be a soldier
sends home the following remedy
for "cooties," although we hasten
to assure him that such informa
tion is quite superfluous here:
"Each man is issued t?n pound i
of salt. He goes to the nejreit
stream, takes off his infested
clothes and spreads salt over tl em.
After eating the salt the 'cooties'
go to the creek for a drink. While
they are absent the felUw grabs
his clothes and runs, i rmy btef
will do if no salt is handy."

spud crop from four acres i.n the
