Mr. Amendt returned £rom ilamai on Thursday midnight and was warm- ly welcomed by lis wif e who had cer- tainly had her hands full while he was away, acting as interpreter, Eng- lish teaclidr, housewif e and treasurer of the district, at the same time hav- ing us two boarders. It may interest you te hear the troubles in motoring in this country. Mr. Amendt was away about 10 days and had lots of excitement. lie was away over one Sunday and undertook to visît one of his churches 35 miles f urther on. Hie got about 30 miles from Hamai and was crossing a bridge when a front wheel rolled off and he stopped rather suddenly but luckily dîd not go over the bridge. However, he bent the front axie and steering gear 50 badly that he did flot get aay further that day. By borrowiag a little from every car that came along he was able to fix things up,50 that he could get back to ilamai that night. They saw deer out there andlots of pheasants, but he was not a good enough shot to bring aay down with the gun he had, While awayitraîned and he started back Thursday noon, knowing that his car was runnng badly.

He a- tempted to go up the hill backward but the road was too crooked to do it with safety. So about dark he wepit back to the nearest village and rooted out 8 men to help hlm at the rate of '71/2 cents a piece. Several hours later, with the help of a longue- thrashing delivered by his lady pas- seager, he pas,%ed a.daugerous bridge an.d paid his men some 25 cents a piece-4 separate bargaina-a&nd fin-~ ally urrived lu the yard at midnight. of water ln gasoline tins swung from ' see the "f oreiguers"' house.
