craving of the fellow who owes his
stomach a grudge. Arnold Kinney
and Glenn Brensman, were arrested

at the Hill home may be implicated
in the matter also.

COW WAS TOO LIFE LIKE
At the Holstein picnic at Clover-
dale last week, there was displayed a
paper mache picture of a model Hol-
stein cow on the grounds, A little
child of Dolph Tinnerstet, thinking
the cow a real one, walked up to the
pseudo dairy animal and attempted
to milk her, and thus furnished the
crowd with a good hearty laugh. The
constructors of the cow should take
that as a real compliment to their
splendid work, Thia episode reminds
of the painter who painted grapes
so naturally that the birds came to
eat them.

appeared in the Saturday Evening

should please all who see it. It is full
