33I people will earn these prizes.

Around the freside or about the well-lighted
family reading table during the winter evenings the
children and grown-ups play with their wits
and see how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest number of words
will each receive little box containing $1,000
gold piece
10 persons will each win one box containing
$500 gold piece.
800 people will each win box containing $I.oo
in paper money and one person who makes the
highest number of words over all contestants will
receive box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t is really most fascinating bit of fun to take
up the list evening after evening and see how many
words can be added.
A few rules are necessary for absolute fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's Dictionary
will be counted but no name of person. Both the
singular and plural can be used as for instance
grape and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape Nuts" may be re-
peated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by Webster will
be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical classes, all
those beginning with A together and those begin
ming with Z to come under Z, etc.
When YOU are writing down the words leave
some spaces, in the A, Z, and other columns to
fill in later as new words come to you for they
will spring into mind every evening
1t is almost certain that some contestants will
tie with others. In such a prize identical
in value and character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to EACH Each one will be
requested to send with the list of words plainly
written letter describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts but the contestant not required to purchase
pkg. These letters are not to contain poetry, or
fancy fourishes but simple, truthful statements of
facts For illustration: person may have expert

sources which are but in the infancy
of their development. There is no
other part of the Republic which
makes a stronger appeal TO enterpris-
ing men, whether they have large or
small capital 1t is a beautiful coun-
try healthful country and a country
which holds out every promise of So
cial satisfaction for those who go there
to make their homes.
The most amazing thing about the
South is the cheapness of its fertile
agricultural lands, though one hears
on every hand that prices have gone
up considerably during the past few
years. They must have been giving
land away before, for after years of
national prosperity and wonderful
strides in local settlement and deve-
lopment, one can still buy fine farm
ing land at prices ranging from So an
acre upward.
People regard s25 an acre as a
pretty stiff price for lands which
would be considered very reasonable
at three or four times as much under
the same conditions in Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Washington, or California.
True, the Far Western lands are irri'
gated, and irrigation is a sort of mir
acle which, among other things. gives
extraordinary value to land. But We
can compare these fertile Southern
lands with the agricultural districts OF
Illinois Iowa, and other prairie States,
and still they are literally dirt cheap
There is no way to account for it eX-
cept that the process of readjustment,
which has been going on since the
War, has not yet brought Southern
land up to the level of prices prevail
ing in other parts of the United States.
With regard to markets. In the
West, we are accustomed to long dis
tances. When we start on a journey,
we do not expect to arrive anywhere
The Breckenridge news., 1906-03-14

We should store the floods and regu-
late the flow of streams throughout
the land. We should adopt policies
which will everywhere facilitate the
subdivision of the soil into
small holdings, and the growth of in
dependent homes upon these holdings
Even in those sections which are most
densely peopled, and, perhaps, least
favored in natural advantages-New
England, for example-there is much
to be done in improving natural con-
ditions and opening new opportunities
for successful rural settlement.
But it is not enough to make the
land ready for its highest uses; the
people must also be made ready to
utilize the land. Every boy and girl
should leave the public schools pre-
pared to make a living, and to collect
it from mother earth herself when
they desire to do so. This is distinctly
in line with our great need of increas-
ing economic efficiency, and thus en-
abling the country to meet the de-
mands of increasing population. The
South is beautiful and promising as
it is, but how much more beautiful
and promising it would become with
the adoption of public policies. which
would make the utmost of its natural
advantages and which would train the
rising generation so that they could
realize the best results from the oppor-
tunities thus opened to them!

In Old Ireland.

In connection with what is known
as the Irish revival" an interesting
work has been started by Irish ladies
in a village close by Dublin.
Three industries were selected
namely, the printing of books, embroid-
ering on Irish linen and the weaving
of tapestry and carpets; and some
exquisite work has been produced.
One of the leading ideas of the pro-
moters has been to produce things
which will be recognized as Irish both
in style and design. In the carpets,
for example, all ordinary patterns are
discarded in favor of those recogniz-
ably Irish.
Many of the workers are Irish peas
ant girls, who, by patient training,

Why We are Right Handed.

Why do we use the right hand in
preference to the left?
An anatomist, who has studied the
question very closely, says that it is
largely a matter of heredity. The
right hand in fighting, reserving the
left to cover the left side of the body
where wounds-as their experience
showed them-were the more danger

right hand would react upon the brain,
bringing about a special development
of that part which controls the right
hand.

of future generations who cannot have
the aid of any veteran of the great
conflict to guide them to the points
of interest.
The tablets, statues, monuments and
other memorials which are finding
place in rapidly increasing numbers
upon these historic battlefelds have
been erected in some instances by the
/ Congress of the United States, but in
majority of cases the expense has
been betrayed by States or by veteran
or patriotic organizations. Some of the
memorials are mute testimonials to
the bravery of fallen comrades, while
others are tributes to the command
ers conspicuous in this engagement
or that. However, the matter does not
stop here and of late many commemo-
rative masterpieces of sculpture have
been installed to mark in each in
stance the exact spot rendered memor-
able by some notable assault or de-
fense or some other unusual event in
the great drama of the War for the
Union.
The production of great numbers of
these battlefield memorials has re-
suited in another Yankee scheme for
saving time and labor namely, the in

Many ingenious Tools.

The tools which are instrumental in
performing this ingenious sculpture
by machinery are what are known as
pneumatic tools, that is, they are op-
Grated by compressed air instead of
by steam or electricity. The type most
commonly used might be described as
a combination hammer and chisel, and
how much more speedily such can
work than could workman with the
old-fashioned chisel and hammer may
be appreciated when it is stated that
by means of the compressed air the
hammer is made to strike hundreds
of blows per minute.
In this mechanical chiseling the
pneumatic tool, which is a portable
piece of apparatus, is held in the hand
of a workman and by him guided
back and forth on the stone surface
wherever cutting is to be done. The
compressed air is led to the tool
through a rubber hose, and the oper.
ator can with the utmost ease and
at a moments notice regulate the
force of the hammer blows according
to the depth of the cutting required.
Moreover different styles of pneu.
matte tools are provided for the va
rious classes of work to be performed
in producing a statue or other monu-
ment For instance, there is one tool
for light carving, tracing and lett r.
ing on granite, and different one or
heavy carving and large raised lettt S.
The tools require from five to Sc n
