Life-Size Portraits of
Safe Home Matches
Examine them care
fully. Note how
strong and sturdy
they are. Note, too,
what fine heads they
have full, round,
well made.
Safe Home Matches
are better than any
matches you have
used heretofore.
They are made in a
better way. No poi
sonous materials are
used. A child might
suck the head or sev
eral heads off Safe
Home Matches. He
wouldn't be poi
soned. He wouldn't
even be seriously ill.
Forthatreasonalone
Safe Home Matches
should be in every
home.
Safe Home Matches
burn with a steady
flame, not by fits and
starts. They light any
where. And yet they are
safer than any other brand
or type of match.
We ask you to use this
new match and to urge
others to do likewise. We
do not ask you to pay
more than you have been
paying for matches
merely to see that you
get better matches than
you have been getting.

bUBtlng contests at hla ranch, the
participants being; from the nearby
ranches.. Mr. Palmer lives fourteen
miles from Alliance and between two
and three miles northwest of Bonner
which Is on the Denver line of the

By 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon a
large crowd had arrived in buggies,
wagons and autos. Mr. Talmer had
a well arranged program, which last
ed until after 6 o'clock. Refresh
ments were served to the crowd and
no charge whatever was made for
any of the entertainment. Many pic
tures were taken by The Herald
DhotograDher and others who had
cameras.
First on the program was a rope
spinning exhibition by Arthur Lew-
man. He was a tall, handsome chap
dressed In approve dcowboy style
and made a hit with the ladies by
his expert work with the laBBo.
Probably the most Interesting part
of the whole program was the steer
riding which ended with a thrilling
exhibition by Jack Graham on a
large, ferocious looking bull, which
attempted to climb the fence in a
dozen places. Those who rode steers
were Jim Wilson, Frank Chastek,
popularly known as "Shorty" be
cause of his height. Chastek was
the clown of the day and his appear
ance at any time was the signal for
much laughter. His droll saylngB
were full of genuine humor. The
steer he was riding turned a double
flip-flop and landed on his leg

away, gritting his teeth from the
pain. "No. I mean I didn't break
it," he said, as he saw us watching
him with sympathy. "But don't say
anything about It In the paper,
please, said he. So of course we
refrain from mentioning It. Other
steer busters were Lyle Coker, who
had to take three trials before he
conquered his animal, Harry Smith
who was announced as the "Jnst
married man." Jim Eaton. Alva
Roach, who Is a skilled rider and
who, when his steer was tearing up
the earth and the heavens above
called out to It. "Come on. sister, do
your worst," Harry Boone, Young

are from the Immense Hall & Gra

mer ranch. The Hal & Graham

high class of men employed, and on
their skill as horsemen.
Those who rode the hroses were
Jim Eaton, Arthur Lewman. Alva
Roach, Wlnsel Lackey, who at first
refused to ride because he couldn't
find a pair of number ten boots In
the crowd, and whose horse gave a
