CLAYTON STAPLES
ENJOYS CANOEING
Clayton II. Staples is a lover of na
ture, and every boy especially will be
interested in seeing him and his pro
gram a program portraying the most
beautiful things in life Nature.
Staples is a lover of nil outdoor
sports nnd especially of canoeing. He
ways: "Of all the out-of-door pastimes,
I derive the most benefit from canoe
ing. Here I get a chance to exercise
my muscles and broaden my mind In
my line of work. The pleasures I have
on these trips cannot be excelled or
equaled. It was during the summer
of 1115 that I took a loO-mlle trip down
the St. Croix river, which I shall al
ways remember. The first day out the
young man with me succeeded in shoot
ing five ducks and eleven snipe. .J
caught one "musky" and we felt
highly elated over our first day's sucj
cess. But that ended it, as our Incl?
ceased with the first day. The second
day it rained. How many of you ever
made camp In a rainstorm, in a strange
country? Well, that night and the foN
lowing night we had to. It was nearly
dark before we could find' a desirable
place to enmp. As we were chilled
through, we first nmdo a good fire.
Though It still mined, this brightened
things up a great de::l. I remembered
as we were packing our luggage up to
tne'caniping site, noticing a haystack
on the opposite side of the river, we
decided to have one eomfort at least,
a hay mattress. While arranging our
bed n large lizard was discovered in
the hay, causing n little excitement
for a few minutes. The third day the
Let them remind you that it will soon be time to decide about
that new range. We sell and recommend above all others the
Monarch Malleable Range
We don't ask you to buy it because we say it's good, but be
cause you can see with your own eyes why it is better than others.
Look it over and you will agree with us that
No range made of grey or cast iron can possibly be as good
and no other Malleable Range is made as well.
Even apart from it's solid construction, every woman would
choose it because of its delightful cleanliness. Think of what it
would mean.
No stove blacking needed.
No smutty kettles to scour.
No dust and ashes spilled around.
No fancy carving to collect the dirt, etc.
Let us show you this splendid range.

ment, and, though we broke three -ribs
in the canoe, we hnishod our trip with
no further loss."
On just such trips as this one Mr
Staples says he has great opportunity

the Wise Memorial hospital and will
be operated on Thursday of this
week. Mr. Whiteman has been suf
ferlng with rheumatism for the past

ficial to both troubles and that he
will come out of the trying ordeal
as good as new.
