Word Puzzle. Nobody is working
or even exercising. America will
lose the next War but win the
next Puzzle Contest. 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.
Smoke ‘Bull’ Durham while work

if you don’t, why smoke wherever
you want to.

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.

Miss Flora Grimes, who has been
spending a few days at home, left for
Central City, Monday. Miss Flora is
a graduate from the Lincoln hospital
training school for nurses and has
successfully passed the state board
examinations. She will leave, in a
few days, for Denver, where she will
take six months training in a hospi
tal at that place.
The village election was held at

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.
