But as for the present liquor control law and the sale of liquor through state stores, the entire subject is taken out of politics. At least, towns and cities are not shutting their eyes to violations because of the big license fee involved under the old saloon plan.

Much is being said about the amount of revenue to be derived from liqour by the drink.

The fire alarm brought out the fire department Sunday morning the fire being at the Roach anr Gallagher livery barn. The stron; wind from the north fanned th blaze into a roaring inferno in very short time, making it mos difficult for the firement to figh he blaze with their small equip merit.

The origin of the fire is un known. It apparentaly started i the loose hay in the mow, at abou the center of the barn. The ha had been in the barn for about tw years, so the theory of spontaneou combustion does not hold good. Th fire spread to the Teggatz buildin occupied by the Owen Implemen store. The barns in the rear wer damaged and the building owne by Julius Sinn was burned with i contents.

A reunion of the Evans family was held on Sunday at the home FEW people escape from being nostalgic from time to time and for some unknown reason I have been in that mood the 'past few days. As I think about all the things kids have to entertain themselves now, such as TV, bowling, school activities, I wonder how we entertained ourselves when I was a teenager. MY home town was just half the size of Williamsburg. We had no school gym. The boys played some outdoor basketball during the fall but scheduling games was on a catch-as-catch-can basis.

We had no coach. There was no school band, though we had good sized girls and boys glee clubs. It was some time while I was in high school that a movie opened in my home town. But even then 1 didn't have enough money to attend very often. AS I think back I must have been a pest in many places of activity in my home town.

I had a deep- satisfied in what was going on in some places in different parts of town. Back in those days the most common greeting which men said to a kid was: "iDoes your mother know you're out?" BLACKSMITH SHOPS Here was a never ending sequence of activity which always wheted the curiosity of a growing boy. It was always thrilling to see the blacksmith put a piece of red hot iron on his anvil and pound it into shape. Only too often the sparks would fly, warning kids-to keep a safe distance. Then if he wanted to cool the iron quickly, he plunged it into a tub of water, with a re- 30 1 2 3 4 5 6 64 59 60 68 66 66 60 53 54 50 53 53 44 48 .25 .85 1.15 .62 .00 .00 tr.

Once in a while I would happen in when the blacksmith was shoeing a recalitrant horse. But after the smithy had spoken to the horse a couple of times to stand still, he would apply a twitch to its nose.

If the horse happened to be a kicker, he had a special stall device for keeping the horse in place. FACTORY Boy, there were plenty of interesting sights goining on here all the time. I well remember the big one horse carts which hauled the clay from the pit to the factory, a distance of about a half mile. The clay went into a big hopper and was mixed with the proper amount of water. Then a compressor pushed the formed tile out and cut it into proper length.

The soft tile were then taken to the drying sheds. Eventually they were piled in a big kiln, the door cemented shut and the fire built. 'Many was the time I tagged the fireman around as ho shoveled coal into the retorts. One year so much tiling was done in northern Iowa that the factory could hardly make them fast enough. A few times the tile were taken from the kiln while it was still so hot it was almost unbearable to work in it.

But if I heard the rumble of the churn as I passed the creamery, that was all I needed to step inside and see what was going on.

COOPER SHOP man, a skilled workman with wood of all kinds, made the buttertubs for the creamery. The staves came all tapered and he set a tub together in a steel frame. Then he placed two wooden hoops around the tub after he had fitted in the bottom. He had a special lathe for smoothing up the inside and outside of the tub. I never found out how many tubs he made by hand in a day, but it always seemed there was a big pile of them in his shop.

was always a lot of activity around both depots in my home town. Four passenger trains a day both ways on each road. But, of course, a curious boy always found some way to get into the agent's office when he was at the telegraph key to see him send out a message with the dot and dash method of the Morse code. IMPLEMENT SHOPS Farm machinery was shipped by railroad in those days, which meant that it came all knocked down to conserve space. After its delivery came the big job of putting all the parts together.

Could any curious kid resist that activity? Not on your tintype! It was quite a lesson certain mechanical principles. NEWSPAPER Oh, yes! There was always far too much going on around my hometown newspaper to stay away from, there. Was it my unsatiable curiosity that finally resulted in my being offered a job? Maybe so. My hometown newspaper was first located on a second floor (above the bank). There was no linotype all of tie type was set by hand.

The newspaper press was run by a chugging gasoline engine. ANOTHER unforgettable sight in my home town was watching the Kock Island trains come rolling in, with the firman standing on the apron between the locomotive and tender, emptying his water jug. There was a big flowing well just across the tracks from the depot, and few trains failed'to stop so the engine men could refill their jugs with cold'water. SUGAR BEETS For a few years sugar beets were grown on farms near my home town. During beet harvest, the beets were hauled into town, dumped in a big hopper which was pulled up in tower where they were dumped to: run down a chute into a HAPPY IS THIS OLD-TIMER Happy is the old-timer who keeps abreast of the times, can successfully adjust himself to his surroundings, play with the youngsters and find contentment in whatever environment he may find himself.

Far too many discover they have been relegated to another world from youth, with an unseen barrier between and they lack the knowledge to' break that obstacle. If they are blessed with health and stamina, of course they have a common ground in the playing of, games. Too often the old-timer suffers a nagging loneliness Because he cannot overcome and remove the obstacles and barriers between youth and old age. Old-timers and youngsters all have one common ground where they can enjoy fellowship together. To the Father and Ruler of the universe all are children.

All can appear before him Joyful thanksgiving and with contrite, penitent hearts. Church attendance and activity can be made a source of power and strength, a refuge and a permanent jpy forever, for all "Children."
