An interesting bit of. information !came my way this week that I think may interest others is the fact that the two women that caught young l Helrens, Mrs. Pauline Willet and he* ; mother, Mrs. Nellie Cone, were for* 'merly residents of Wonder Center. Two Irishmen going to the races i took- a keg of whisky to sell there. ; Keenly aware of the temptation the ] liquor would offer to their own! thirsts, the partnera firmly agreed! that neither should take a drink1 from the cask without paying for it.' One man had three-pence, the other nothing. Presently the man with the three-; pence grew thirsty, and paid his | coin to the other for a drink. Thel other man soon felt parched and \ gave his partner back the threefcw cases Is then any gr between hawks and owli that habitually prey on Mail aM imaO game and thoae heavy, sluggish kiftdi or those too small to take anything but grasshoppers, "mice and destructive rodents of many sorts. A good many beneficial hawks and owls have teen destroyed in the past during wolf hunts. The farmer has lost many efficient allies in his fight against rats, mice and other rodents. One pair of barn owls and their young have been known to account tor over 1,500 mice and 100 rats in one season. Nere and IbJIMt There is a legend that the Emperor Nero fiddled while fire destroyed the greater part of Rome in M A. D. Since the violin was not invented until the mMdiy ages the instrument on which he played! if at aO, must have been another stringed instrument Tradition says : H was a lute. According to one ver- | sion of the legend, Nero set fire to the city to see how Troy looked j when it was in flames. He would not permit the people to extinguish i the fire and went to a high tower j where he sang verses to his lute. I The story generally is regarded as ] a myth. Tacitus says the origin of 1 the fire was not known.

Part of their honeymoon will be spent in Wonder Lake. Hot CeU - - The tallest story I ever heard was one of a farmer friend of mine up in North Dakota. One winter he put some water on the fire to shave with. Before he noticed the kettle was! boiling. So he set it outside to cool. A mmute later it had frozen. But it had frozen so quickly the ice was still warm enough to shave' with. that first sph daughters, Kay and Marianne, ana son, Jim, were weekend visitors to two Wonder Lake families. The William A. Dean, Jr., home and the Roy Noren home shared in the entertainment of the Bidderman family. It was a second honeymoon for Mr. and Mrs. Randall Guyer when they visited last week in the home of the A1 Re pans. The Guyers are from Kansas, III. Mr. and Mrs. R. J.

Some time ago, members of some of the civic groups suspected the creek and its contents. A state inspector) | was called in and tests were made, j ! These tests have not as yet- been; , rceived, but when they are, we will report the exact findings, if possible. In the meantime, due ' to the polio season, and with no report as yet, available concerning the water, it] might be a good idea to keep the: children from swimming.

If you're buying porcelain enamelware, there's something to keep in mhid The Enameled Utensils Manufacturers council and the* National Bureau of Standards have set up a commercial standard providing for labels that will tell whether the veaael has a multi-coat finish or a single-coat finish and whether the utensil conforms to the commercial standards of its type. Enamelware is made by fusing enamel on a steel or iron base. In the multi-coat finish, one or more coats of white enamel are applied over a first dark coat. The single-coat is a speckled finish. In enamelware, it's the surface that counts. Look fbr a surface that's completely smooth. Air bubbles or an exposed base are signs of poor manufacture. And since the enamel is essentially glass, tiny chips might break off into the food while it's cooking if there ai* weak places on the surface. at the Junior--Say, pop, what's a "Greek Urn"?
