Lucky Stab.

While our business manager,
Mr.. Charles H. Beck, was on his
vacation in California, he took a
run up to Seattle and to Spokane,
Washington. While there he was
informed of the government draw
ing of farms at Occur d'Alene,
Idaho, and went to the land office
and registered, with about 800, =
900 other persons in the race.
Since his arrival home the daily
papers recited that Charles
Buck" of Logan, Ohio, had
drawn farm. Our Charley sus-
picionsd the lucky person to be
himself, and this week received a
card from the government at
Washington, to the effect that he
had been assigned number 1921,
in the 2l0O farm, drawn, and that
the government department will
keep him informed as to the num-
ber of farms that will be ready for
entry in April of next year. The
daily papers report that the farms
are 100 acres and are worth from
$8. 900 90 to $40, 600. 90. Good for
Charley. Yon can't keep good
man down. He was one of five
persons in Ohio that made a lucky
draw. His friends are extending
congratulations.

prevented by caving at the bottom.

proved to be good one, being
about 1000, 600 capacity.
