Birthday Surprise
Was Held For J. F. E.
Yeisley On Sunday
J. F. E. Yeisley. who celebrated
his 82nd birthday dast Saturday,
September 2, was pleasantly sur-
prised on Sunday by a group of re-
latives. When the first couple ar-
rived, which was Mr. and Mrs.
Hugh Yeisley, he immediately be-
gan to worry for fear more food
was needed in the house, for the
extra guests. Not knowu to him
they had left their ,baskets of food
in the car, but he continued to fret
and insist that dinner be started,
until his sister, .Miss :Mac Yeisley,
had to quiet him by saying they
would start the meal as soon as the
guests all arrived. He realized then
the surprise was on him.
Mrs. Kenneth Yeisley baked a
lovely angel food cake for him and
topped it with sixteen candles,
which signified how spry a man he
is for his eighty-two years• It is
said that after the delicious dinner
of fried chicken and all the trim-
mings and heaps of Ice cream the
guest of honor was not even able
to blow out the candles on the cake.
~Mr. Yeisley and his sister, Miss
May Yeisley, moved from the farm
home, four miles north of Mount i
Vernon, to their comfortable home
on Second avenue, north in 1914.
Mr. Yeisley was born in a small old
log cabin near the site of the pres-
ent house on the farm now occupi-
ed by Mr. and Mrs• Kenneth Yeisley
and family.
It is interesting to know the
present Yeisley farm has never
been occupied by any one but a
Yeisley. Mr. Yeisley's father, who
was George Yeisley, passed his ,boy-
hood days in Ohio, and in Novem-
ber, 1839, located in Linn township
where he secured a squatters claim,
as the land had not come into mar-
ket. Four years later he 'bought one
hundred and sixty acres from the
government. Here he began life
in true pioneer style in a log cabin.
J. F. E. Yeisley was one of ten
ehildred born to Mr. and Mrs.
George Yeisley. For many years
he operated the home place unti,1
his brother Hugh Yeisley and fam-
ily returned to Mount Vernon from
Minville, Ore. to reside and took up
their residence on the family farm
and Mr. Yeisley and his sister Miss
May Yeisley retired to Mount Ver-
non, in 1914. -While on the farm
he was a lover of fine stock and
took great pride in his especially
fine black angus cattle. He is a
faithful member of the local I.O.
O.F. lodge.
Those present on Sunday to cele-
brate his birthday were: Mr. and
Mrs. Hugh Yeisley, rMr. and Mrs.
Kenneth Yeisley and family, Mr.
and Mrs. John Yeisley and family,
Mrs. Susan Yeisley and Laurence
of Mount Vernon. Harl Yeisley
and family, Ivan Yeisley and fam-
ily, l~r. and Mrs. Ivan Yeisley of
Springville.

FIRE DESTROYED
HARRY SIGGINS
BARN FRIDAY EVE
Spontan-- ous Com-
bust)on or Dust Ex-
plosion Cause
Fire which is believed to have
been caused either by spontaneous
combustion or a dust explosion
completely destroyed tbe seven-
year old 32x4~ foot barn at the
Harry Siggins farm, the third place
north of Lisbon, at 7:45 o'clock on
Friday evening.
About 15 minutes before the fire
was discovered by the neighbors,
Mr. Siggins drove some cattle out
!the gate at the north end of the
barn and sorted out two calves. It
twas just about dark. He neither
]smelled smoke nor noticed any m-
[dication of fire.
{ Mr. and Mrs. Siggins, a few rain-
utes late,', sat in their cal" in the
driveway at the house and waited
several minutes for Kenneth to
change his overalls before start-
ing for 'Mount Vernon. As they
crossed the tracks into IAsbon the
Vandeberg girls, who were driving
north, met them. The girls could
see the barn on fire then. Thus
the fire must have started all at
once within a minute or two after
the Siggins drove away front the
house.
V~ben the Siggins reached the
Mrs. Dave Heller place, on west
Main street in Lisbon, they hap-
pened to notice the fire north of
Lisbon, and turned around to go
back and see where it was. As they
crossed the tracks at Lisbon going
north the 1Asbon fire siren sound-
ed and they had not yet realized
the fire was at their farm which
they had left a few minutes before.
SAVE SOME HOGS
Arriving at the farm 'Mr. Siggins
chased five sows and 30 pigs out of
the barn but the heat was so in-
tense he could not go back to get
the harness. The entire :barn seem-
ed to be in flames• The fire seem-
ed to have started in all parts of
the barn at once as the hay mow
and feedways were all in flames.
"If Kenneth had been a
minute or two longer changing hi~
:lothes we would have still .been in
the yard at the house and might
be able to tell whether any kind
of an explosion preceeded the fire,"
Mr. Siggins says.
,Some bay had been placed on
top of a foot or two of old straw
dust this summer which it was
thought would make a dry founds-

I HAWKEYE PUTS IN
IMIEHLE VERTICAL
A Miehle Vertical press, which
will be used in the Hawkeye-Re-
cord job printing department, is be-
ing installed today and instruction
in its use will be given Hawkeye
pressmen during the 1-emainder of
the week by a representative from
the Miehle Printing Press and
Manufacturing Coinpany in Chica-
go from whom the .press was pur-
chased.
Inst~llation of the .press is .being
made after a period of careful study
lasting more than a year, of mod-
ern automatically fed presses and
consideration of the model best
adapted to the work of this office.
Many printing offices and several
printing machinery houses have
been consulted during this investi-
gation, One executive described
the Miehle Vertical as the mosl
perfect piece of printing equipment
ever designed.
The press has revolutionized job
~rinting, in that it has made pos-
sible the same high-grade work as
is done on flat-bed cylinder presses
uvailable for smaller jobs. The or-
dinary job press prints the entire
form at one time while on the Ver-
tical, with its cylinder principal of
operation, the impression at one
time is about the width of a pen-
cil mark, the paper being printed
as the cylinder revolves against the
type form. The press can be o'p-
erated at a maximum speed of 3600
impressions per hour doing high
i quality printing.
You are invited to come in and
watch the press run when it is in
operation.

Three Brothers In

Maginot line and a third 'brother,
Charles, lives at Metz.
After the evacuation of their
home in Strasbourg last year, Mr.
Jolas' mother, Mrs. Eugene Joins,
and sister, .Mrs. Celistin Dillen-
schneider took a house in the in-
terior of France, in the province
