Bad Luck With Invention.
Fritz Lutz has been trying his in
ventive powers at his farm the past
few weeks, and among the inventions
that have been trying his patience was
a grinding apparatus that he rigged
up this week. The machine was cor
rectly designed, but Fritz arranged it
so that it exceeded the speed limit of
an emory wheel velocity, and when he
applied the tool that he desired a
keened edge on, the wheel was moving
so rapidly that it broke into many
pieces that were whirled at terrific
speed through the air, some of which
came near striking him. He then
found a "man to produce the desired
edge for him, and went on with his
farm work.
The Place to Buy Lumber.
There never was a season so favor
able for building and making im
provements around your farm home
as this one has been, and the activity
around the Murray lumber yard is an
evidence of this fact. More of all
grades of lumber is being sold this
spring than for many seasons. The
demand for good goods and the fact
that it can always be found at this
lumber yard at the right prices are
the causes for the increased business.
Mr. Kikendall is after the lumber
business of this locality, not only from
the fact that it is due him, but be
cause he is ready and willing to meet
all competition on the numerous
grades of lumber.

Gansemer hall on Saturday evening,
