PITFALL IN PUZZLE
FOR UNNARY ONES
So Far Not An Answer
TallieS In All
Respects.

Droil Part of 1t Is the Real
PuZZlers" Are Too Sure of
Their Answers.

If those who solve the puzzle this
week won't have surprise offered them
next Sunday I am no prophet
Just a few minutes ago I took a cas-
ual glance over the lists which have
accumulated to the number Of u don't
know how many score, and, believe me,
I did not come upon a single solution
which tailed in all particulars with
that made out by Mrs. Bailey.
Now, whether the puZZlers or Mrs.
Bailey is at fault, far be il for me TO
say. The droIl part of the whole affair
is the Indifference with which the real
ly' puzzlers regarded the mental exer-
else necessary TO bring the puzzle into
proper shape.
After all that has been said. I know
you will all enjoy a quiet smile when
you find that for all your easy-going
satisfaction, a pitfaIl awaited your I'M
wary footsteps.
Just the same, since this fact has
been revealed to me, I am looking for

solution appeared, it was demonstrated
that the author Of the puzzle and the
critic were facing different ways. Won

During the past year or two folks
In North Dakota have been biting very
hard on the grocery peddler's bait.
Briefly, the agent goes through the
country districts. shows excellent sam
pies Of staple groceries and on the
strength Of these takes orders. Later
those who have ordered goods are n
notices that on a certain day the a
containing the groceries will be at the
depot. When the purchases arrive
| the patrons are told that the distribut-
ing agent is In a great hurry M that
the railway folks have ordered the car
on the sidetrack within q specified
| time. This means that the stuff bought
is loaded on to the wagon without
| careful inspection. On arriving home
the housewife looks into the purchases
and finds, along with some fairly good
stun, a lot that is cheap and shoddy-
q good deal cheaper than the price
paid. These chaps never visit the
same place a. second time, a their
| victims usually remember their pre-
vious experience. However. in the
Dakota case there was another good
reason. The state pure food commits
sioner got after these fakers and
found that the bull of the stun sold
was in direct violation Of the pure food
law, which seeks to prevent the adul.
teration Of food products, when the
fines assessed against them soon out
ran their profits. The same game has
been tried in other states with about
the same results. 1t would seem that
It was about time for rural Inhabitants
