Editor Times: The health of this community is good so far as we know and the farmers are quite busy preparing their land and some planting has been done. The small grain crop is looking fairly well and we notice some fine fields of rye as we pass about. Well, rye has always been quite a favorite of ours but we care nothing about it in that shape. The prospect for a good fruit crop is fine at this time. Messrs. W. H. Windle and C. P. Blankenship have purchased new autos and won't we have a jolly old time splurging around in the new joy wagons. Uncle Hoover just keeps on napping us about keeping meatless days. Well, if it doesn't get cheaper than it is now quite a n umber of us will have more of that brand of days to keep than will be pleasant to us ere hog killing time comes around again, and again he says that m e should m* km meat and oao more hash. Well, what do you reckon the old chap allows us to make the hash of? He surely has lost his bearings. Splinter. Gold Hill. April 22. Buyers of Liberty Bonds.
