It’s the greatest craze that hit this coun try since Prohibition. People say to me, “Why Will, you don’t > understand, it is an Education, it learns you more ways to say one word.” If you know one way to say a word, what do you need to know any more for? Nobody is going to give you anything for nothing, I don’t care how many ways you ask for it. Our nation has never been short on words. We might lack ideas sometime but never words. This puzzle has done one thing, it has learned us which is Horizontal and which is Vertical. But a Cross Word Puz zle is not new. Railrqad Time Tables have been out for years.

LUBKER Chiropractors Prone 316 : O’Neill, Nebraska I “Ain’t Nature Wonderful” By “UNCLE PETE,” O’Neill, Nebraska. (Courtesy St. Louis Po£t Dispatch.) O’Neill, Nebr. The annual spring launching of Scar-Faced Billy, Frank Barrett’s pet pickerel, which winters in a stock watering tank on the Barrett ranch near Beaver Flats, was made the oc casion of joint festivities and cere monials under the auspices of the Beaver Flats Izaak Walton League and the Calamas Valley Sportmen’s Association at the Barrett ranch last Sunday. The launching this year is several weeks earlier than usual, ow ing to the ice going out of the river and Skull and Bloody creeks, its principal tributaries, sooner than for several years past and the desire of the sportsmen that Scar-Faced Billy get started on his mission of carp ex termination as soon as possible. Scar-Faced Billy was weighed just before being placed in the small creek on the ranch and tipped the scales at 19 pounds, a gain of two pounds over his weight in the spring a year ago. He is believed to be one of the largest domesticated fish in Mid-Western waters. The big fish was rescued by the ranchman several years ago almost dead from a spear wound inflicted by a carp fisherman and was nursed back to health by Barrett, with the restilfc that a strong affection sprang up be tween the two, to increase as the years, go by. Since his recovery the pickerel has shown a strong aversion to carp and during the summer months when not catching frogs along the banks of the little creek which runs through the ranch hay meadows, he devotes much time to preying upon the carp which infest the river and its tribu taries. As carp are most destructive of game fish because of their habits ol disturbing the spawn beds of th< latter and eating the spawn, Scar Faced Billy’s value as a conservation ist was immediately recognized by the sporstmen, who carefully refrain from tossing any hooked baits to him. Several foreign fishermen who have tried to catch him have been roughly dealt with The fish each fall when the streams begin to freeze up, is taken from the water and placed in the stock tank by Barrett, to be launched again in the spring. The launching ceremonies this year included addresses by the officials of the two clubs, after which the fish was lifted from the tank. in a body, burying her with the rites of the order.

Why We Picked “ The Red Top Fence Post DURING the course of a year we sell a good many steel fence posts, all of them backed up with our personal guarantee. Naturally the first thing we did before we picked a line of posts was to find a make good enough to stand the gaff in the fence line—a brand that we could stand behind. The Red Top was our choice. We firmly believe that it is the most fence post service for the money. The studded Red Top is reinforced and extra strong. Its big, heavy anchor plate is put on in such a way that no holes have to be punched in the post first. A post has got to be strong at the anchor plate—the Red Top is. You’ll like the aluminum finish when you see these posts in our stock and you'll appreciate it all the more when you put Red Tops in your fence line. Aluminized Red Tops make fences that you don’t have to apologize for. The aluminum metallic finish also protects the post, thus adding to its life. The Red Top One-Man Driver and Handy Fasteners speed up fence building. They help you do a week’s fencing job in a day. The Handy Fastener has a long leg that goes all the way around the stem of the post it will not loosen up and let go of the wire. All in all you’ll find the Red Top the most satisfactory post you’ve ever used. Come in and see it. See the One Man Driver. Prevailing prices are mighty reasonable. We recommend early buying.
