81 Third Best, ST
One of these seven prizes may as
well be yours. Why not try for it9

All school children below the second yaer in High
school have opportunities to win the prizes indicated
above. Here's the way;
There are countless plots for romances, tragedies
and comedies in the want ad pages of every edition Of
The Bee. If you unearth a plot from one of these little
advertisements, and write an interesting short story
based on it, we will give you a prize.
Your parents or friends may help you in the selection
of a plot, but the composition must be all your own work.
We want stories of not more than 500 notwithstanding
clever little stores-the very best you can write. You
will not only have a chance to win one Of the prizes, but
will get a whole lot of fun out Of selecting the plot and
writing the story.
You may think, right now, that the selection Of a
plot is going to be hard. It isn't. Of course, you'll have
to think and observe and read the advertisements care
fully, if you want to win a prize, but you can win if you
will really try.
You see, the people use the want ad pages Of The Bee
for so many different purposes that each little advertise
ment is really a pulse beat in the life of a city. Some of
the advertisements will suggest poverty; some will sug-
gest prosperity; some romance; some comedy; and so on,
through the many different phases Of life.
A situation wanted advertisement could bring to
mind the story of a young mans struggle to secure a start
in life. A horse for sale might suggest the story of a
husband who wants to sell the horse in order to present
an electric runabout to his wife.
Make up your mind, NOW, to win one of these prizes.
You can do it-and at the same time have a lot Of fun.
It's a fascinating game.

IF The Bee. Turn to the want ad pages and dig them out.

New Cure for snake Bite. :.

Cleveland Plain Dealer. ~
 things that are haliowed by tradition comes out boldly and scons a IeW scoffs at the theory that strong, drink Is an antidote for snake bite. Ahd this after the flask has been toted around all these years by men--many of them gray headed-who didn't much care whether they saw snake or not: The man who would deliberately scon at a faith of an enduring kind seems to be lacking in proper reverence. Of course this shaker uf confidence has a cure of his own. It may De as pleas. ant to the palate as the old-fashioned stuff. but the description doesn't sound encouraging The new cure Is the se- rum obtained by inoculating horse with snake poison. But anybody can see that this Is going to entail a whole lot of trouble on the man who goes where the snakes bite. 1t will be enough to take away most of the pleasures of the trip to have to lead horse around the snake haunts. If the man goes hunting in marshy places away the birds. If the hunter chooses the forest 1t will be little fun to drag the horse along the leafy defiles, with the momentary expectation that the do- ciIe brute will be wedged between two trees And then there will be the trouble of getting snake 10 bite the horse before the party sets out. Of course, some men would be willing to bitten on the way. or at the place of rendezvous or some equally sensitive spot And then again 1t Is painfully probable that the snake. in it's ignor- ance ot the formula, would insist up- on biting the man before 1t did the horse or course the serum may be all that 1t is cracked up to be, but there are a lot of good citizens who their kin with the good. old fashioned antidote that comes in a flask.
