Said our old friend, Mr. Lucien Green, while in the office a few min- uies Monday: “We have a ‘boy’ over in our part of the country that is clearly entitled to the belt over everybody.” Our curiosity, of course, was great- ly aroused and we quickly asked, is that so, who is it? “Uncle Bill Prier, sir, who will soon be 82 years old. His son, Al, was taken sick and it being practical- ly impossible to get outside help at the time, Uncle Bill just whetted up the old corn knife, went into the field and now has 200 shocks to his credit. If that isn’t a record for an ald ‘boy’ like him I don’t know what is and I think he should have his picture in the paper and given a good, big write-up,” said Mr. Green, and the Journal heartily agrees with him. We distinctly remember that even in this mild Italian climate it was dis- tressingly hot at corn-cutting time and that it required a whole Jot of courage to tackle a field of corn. But, nevertheless, Uncle Bill long ago demonstrated the fact that he is not afraid of anything.—Appleton City Journal.! Co ee ee ay
