By the way last week's issue of the Register-Tribune read, we think that
the editors must have had some mixed drinks.  We notice they gave the
Richland Ripples credit for the Adaville Items.  We will take a treat on
that, but please don't mix it.  No, Mr. Correspondent, we do not believe
our good, reliable well water has become strong since the day it began
to ooze out of the mother earth years ago.  We believe the winds laden
with odor from rye and barley harvest fields are responsible for our
blunder, the scent from around Richland being particularly strong.  To
the Adaville correspondent is due a treat that he merits and can stand
it.  The farmers in the future, will please switch the winds from
sweeping up the valley, for fear it may create a havoc among some people
like the editors who are not yet used to "mixed" drinks.    Eds
