top of hie Ford touring car early
yesterday afternoon in a very unusual
manner. As he was drlviug
out to his home, four miles from

noticed a whirlwind coming across a
field, kicking up a swirling cloud of
dust. He paid little attention to it,

ings at this time of the year. However,
the miniature tornado and the
Ford arrived at the same spot on the
road at the same time. The whirlwind

carrying the Ford's top and the rest
of the car continued down the road
