by extricated the machine from the sidewalk and parking and returned it to
normalcy.  No damage whatever was done, which was little short of a miracle
as the street is usually crowded at that hour and is a street car street as
well.

young folks are well known here, this locality having been their home from
their infancy and both are of the best of quality as to integrity and worth.
The bride will continue assisting her mother through the corn cultivating

INVADING DWELLINGS
Ants Are Proving More of a Pest Than Usual This Year

Ants, often a pest in dwellings during the summer, are especially
troublesome this year, reports from various parts of the state indicate.
Here are a number of suggestions for combating these pests.

To rid the kitchen of the small creatures, sprinkle a small amount of finely
powdered sodium fluoride on the back of the pantry shelves and around the
edges of the room where the ants are likely to pass.  The ants are thus
poisoned by licking the sodium fluoride off their feet.

HEAD COLDS

By virtue of a favorable vote on June 7, Ringgold county is to have a
courthouse at Mount Ayr, the county seat.  Since the old courthouse was
condemned and torn down several years ago the business of the county has
been transacted in temporary quarters in various parts of the town.  A bond
issue of $150,000 was voted.  With the erection of a courthouse at Mount
Ayr, Jones county will be the only one in Iowa without a regular courthouse.
On several occasions an effort has been made to vote bonds for such a
purpose at Anamosa but defeat always resulted.

UNDAUNTED BY TORTURE SIEGE
Recalls Another Crime

The neighborhood is aroused by the story of cruelties perpetrated on an
innocent and harmless old man and a reward will probably be raised for the
arrest of the bandits.

It is only a few months ago that a similar outrage was perpetrated when four
men entered the house of Soloman Maynard, aged 90, living in the outskirts
of Westfield, and robbed him, after tying the aged man and his 60 year old
daughter to chairs and stuffing gags in their mouths.  No clew was ever
found to the perpetrators, who are believed to be a gang of desperadoes who
make their haunts in Sioux City and up and down the Sioux river where it
divides this county from Union county, South Dakota.
