I want something to wear around
the dormitory.
How large is your dormitory?
What’s the matter will all
your sponges?
Why, nothing’s wrong with
them, they’re all good sponges.
I don’t agree with you,
they’re full of holes.

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
Wolf Hunt near
Jasper.
The wolf hunt which took place west of
Jasper last week was a great success and furnished lots
of sport for a great many hunters. The crowd gathered at
the Lynnland school house. It numbered about 100 and
consisted of horsemen, footmen and dogs. The dogs soon
struck the trail of a wolf and then the fun began. It is
thought that there were five different wolves scared up
during the day. Only one of the varmints was caught,
however. It was started near the stone house west of
Frank Gulick’s. It ran east to Pottorff’s
place, thence south of Hillie’s, past the Dixie
school house, across the Frick Farm to near the Rose Bank
school house where it was captured. The dog which took
his wolfship in belonged to the Garner boys. Only a few
of the hunters were fortunate enough to get a glimpse of
the wolves. In view of the success of the hunt another
chase is planned in the future.

meet this evening at 7:30 p.m. in the Council
Chambers of City Hall.
Items on the agenda include the

the City’s Annual Operating and Capital

with the budget the Council is also scheduled to
hear the second reading of ordinances renewing
contracts with several of the City agencies

and is scheduled to expire in September of this
year. One project included in the CAP is the
estimated $2.1 million dredging of Kellogg Lake,
for which the City would need funding for a 25/75
match. The agreement is brought to Council and
recommended for approval by the City Council
Public Services Committee.

Just Jake
Talkin' I grew up around machinery and folks
that always tinkered with it. Seems a motor or a
gear box wasn’t much use unless you could
tear it apart ever’ now and then.
Prob’ly the first
complicated mechanism I tore into personally was
the coaster brake on my bike.
Don’t know that I ever did
‘xactly know how one a those things work. I
did get figured out how it had ta go back
together if ya wanted it to do its job.
I’m sure there are plenty
a folks that could explain how a coaster brake
works, but not knowin’ keeps me from
thinkin’ I know all about machines. A
healthy attitude when workin’ on the mower.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’

To Your Good
Health
By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.
Stroke Is
Second-Leading Cause of Death
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have read
about heart problems in your column many times. I
am particularly interested in brainstem strokes.
Are aftermaths of such a stroke constant
headaches and difficulty riding in a car? -- D.G.
ANSWER: I’d better not
ignore stroke. It is the second leading cause of
death in the United States and Canada. Strokes
come in two varieties. The more common kind --
representing 80 percent of all strokes -- comes
from a block in blood flow to part of the brain.
That’s called an ischemic stroke. The block
is a clot in an artery feeding the brain.
It’s similar to what happens in a heart
attack, when one of the heart arteries becomes
plugged and blood cannot get to the heart muscle.
The less common kind of stroke is due to bleeding
from a brain blood vessel.
The brainstem is a narrow part
of the brain that consists of three different
sections -- the midbrain, pons and medulla.
Through those structures, located at the back and
underside of the brain, run bundles of cables
connecting brain centers to the spinal cord. The
brainstem has its own important centers, two of
which regulate blood pressure and breathing.
