CAMP LUSJ2: House and Barn and Outbuildings Are Destroyed Tuesday Noon Fire originating from an overheated bearing or spark from a belt in the Hedglin threshing outfit, destroyed four buildings and most of the contents on the Charles Kidney farm six miles northwest of Angola on the Orland road Tuesday noon. A fine two-story square frame house, barn and newly threshed crops and hay, pump house, chicken house, farm implements, an auto truck, grinding outfit, engines and personal effects were destroyed, the total value of the loss being not far from $10,000, it is estimated. There is insurance of about half of the loss.

The farm is tenanted by the Ralph Shull family. Threshers were finishing the threshing and the women were setting the dinner on the table at a. m. when the fire started, and under a strong wind spread quickly through the straw and into the barn. Water supply was soon cut off by the heat, and" the helpers gave their attention to saving as much of the contents of the house as they could, and most of the contents were saved.

The separator and gasoline tractor were drawn to a safe distance, but nothing was saved from the barn. The loss includes 560 bushels of wheat, 201 bushels of oats, 75 bushels of barley and 4 0 tons of hay just placed in the barn. Mr. Shull and family have been decidedly unfortunate, losing fourteen cows under a tree at one lightning stroke two years ago, and losing a valuable horse by lightning only last week. A house on the same farm was burned twenty years ago.

You nerer hear folks laughing and making jokes about the red birdsj the blue jays or the squirrels courung.

And sfctll I bet they're all just as bashful and awkward about it as human young people. And the more the young people pet modern, the less they are bashful about courting, too. A fellow meets a girl he's been trying to make a hit with, and he says to her: "Say, can't I come and see you at your house?" She says: "No. What for?" "Why, to keep you company. Don't you sometimes get lonesome for somebody that can be a companion to you?" "Yes, that's right," she says.

"I guess you can come and see me, since you understand me well. I am awful lonesome since my parrot died, and I bet you can take hi? place some evenings." American News FmtuiM.
