%nd Mrs. Morley Slaght had ship-
ped a box of fish to Mount Ver-
non for distribution to their friends,
while on a fishing trip to northern
Minnesota.
The editor being of a doubting
nature and knowing the above
parties ability at practical jokes,
questioned whether any fish had
been delivered any place to he
shipped to Mount Vernon.
However all doubt was removed
on last Friday when a ,box of fish
actually arrived in Mount Vernon
and many of the Johnston friends
had good fish for dinner.
The Creamery, to which the fish
had been delivered for shipping,
kept them until they were frozen
:.~olid and then packed them in dry
ice for shipment, which accounted
for the delay.
The next time we probably will
believe any kind of a fish story told
ins by either Judy or Morley.

FIRE ELECTION
LOSES BY ONLY
EIGHT VOTES
83 Yes Votes Were
Cast To Only ll
Against
Although the election for author-
izing the levying of a tax for fire
protection in Franklin township,
held in the City Hall at Mount Ver-
non on Tuesday, resulted in 83 yes
votes ¢o 1 l no votes, the election
lost for the reason that under the
law passed by the last legislature
the proposition had to have an af-
firmative vote equal to 60 per cent
of the vote cast in the last general
election.
A careful check of the poll books
used in the general election last
November revealed that 96 people
living outside of the town limits
but in Franklin township voted at
Mount Vernon and 55 living in
Franklin township outside of the
Lisbon town limits voted at Lisbon.
This is a total of 151 voters residing
in the township. Sixty per cent of
151 is 90.6. In other words 91 yes
votes would have won the election
whereas there were 83 yes votes.
The proposition lost by 8 votes
The vote was very light until late
in the afternoon. In spite of the
emphasis placed on voting some
farmers apparently did not realize
that 91 yes votes would be neces-
sary to authorize the tax levy.
It is interesting to note that the
highest vote cast for a township
office in the general election last
fall in both Mount Vernon and
Lisbon precincts was 76. Only
voters residing outside of the eor-
)oration limits of the two towns
can vote for township officers.
It is possible that another elec-
tion will be held later if sufficient
interest is shown. It is difficult to
oelieve that a majority of the farm-
ers in Franklin township do not
want fire protection at the small
cost it would be for each farmer.
It is understood that one farmer
thought the outfit would cost too
,nueh. It is the equipment rather
~nan the truck which accounts for
the largest part of the cost. The
cost would be no more than has
oeen paid for trucks ,by many small
£O'A'ns.
Unfortunate as it may be, some
v'ranklin farmer may lose his
,pine or some of his other buildings
dnnecessarily because the township
does not have a fire truck and he
will be helpless to fight the fire,
~efore sufficient interest is arouseo
LO obtain protection against a great
hazard to farm life and property,
fire.

at the crest of a hill. Mr. Ellison
made an effort to get far enough
over on the shoulder of the high-
way to miss the on-coming car but
did not quite succeed. No one was
hurt in either car to any extent,
but they were badly shaken up and
unnerved.

PICNIC TO BE ON
LABOR DAY AGAIN
St. John's Parish
Makes Plans F o r
Annual Affair
Father George Stemm, pastor of
St. John's Church at 1Asbon makes
formal announcement today of the
annual Harvest Home Picnic to be
held this year as usual on the
spacious church grounds. Monday,
September 4th, or Labor Day, has
become the traditional day for this
gathering at Lisbon and the picnic
this year will follow the standards
set in the past.
While readers of this paper will
bc advised in later editions regard-
ing special features of the affair, it
is thought wise to announce now
that reserved seats for the chicken
dinner and supper will go on sale
August 27th. As usual these re-
servations may be made at Vodic-
ka's Meat Market in Mount Ver-
non, Kaliban's Grocery in Lisbon,
the Zachar Grocery and Belden
Hill's Cigar Store in Cedar Rapids.
Noon services will be from eleven
until two o'clock, while the eve-
ning meal will begin at five and
continue until eight.
For everyone who has enjoyed
:he Labor Day food at Lisbon, fur-
ther announcement is unnecessary.
The people of St. John's take just
)ride in the reputation they have
won for excellent food tastily serv-
ed in their air-cooled dining room
and they intend to make the spread
this year the equal in quality and
quantity with former picnics.
If you have never attended the
St. John's Harvest Home Picnic--
ask anyone who has been there.
Once you have attended Labor Day
at Lisbon goes on the "must" list.
Plan now to spend Labor Day in
Lisbon. The welcome sign is out
for all readers of this paper and
their friends.

man narrowly escaped Wednesday,
August 9, when their boat capsized
on a lake near Huntington, Pa.
Mrs. Casselman and her son had
gone for a ride on the lake near
their vacation cottage. She was
seated at the rear of the boat tend-
ing the motor, when the boat sud-
denly capsized. It is believed that
Kenneth, attempting to change his
position in the front of the ,boat
fell overboard, and in so doing,
upset the boat.
Both Kenneth and his mother
were good swimmers, and both
struck out for shore, 125 feet dist-
ant, and were only a few feet from
shore when Kenneth went down.
It is believed his violent exercise
overtaxed his heart and made it
impossible for him to sustain the
effort long enough to reach shore.
Unable to reach him, Mrs. Cas-
selman swam ashore and sumnlon-
ed help. The youth's body was re-
covered in 20 minutes and two
physicians worked over him until
all hope of resuscitation was given
up. Funeral services were held
Saturday in Trinity Evangelical and
Reformed church in Tiffin, Ohio,
where Rev. Casselman has served
as pastor more than 8 years.
Rev. and Mrs. Casselman have
the sympathy of their many Lisbon
friends made during the years 1916
to 1918, when key. Casselman was
pastor of the Reformed church.
