GAMES FOR HALLOWEEN

tractive scooped out and filed with trailing vines
or autumn leaves
For refreshments be sure to have sticky mo-
lasses taffy popcorn balls doughnuts and hot
green pickles, if you have nothing else. The ices
be bought in witch moulds, but If that is
too expensive, serve 1t in huge scooped-out
pumpkin set on platter surrounded with a
wreath of ivy or autumn leaves.
If you like games for prizes, why not have a
winter four-leaf clover party for good luck? Cut
any amount of three-leaved and few four
leaved clovers out of green tissue paper and num-
bered on the back. Hide them everywhere the
more out-of-the-way places the better, so long as
a tiny edge is il view. When the hunt is over
each boy and girl adds up the numbers on the
back of the leaves found, counting rs for every
four-leafed clover. The person having the high
est sum total wins the prize.
Or you might try tossing peanuts. Each play.
er in turn is given 15 peanuts and standing
about eight feet off tries to throw as many as
possible into small round basket. The one get
ting in the most nuts wins the prize.

DR.. Paul Fischer, state veterinarian.
has appealed TO Gov. Harmon asking
emergency aid to stop the ravages Of
hog cholera. which is killing thousands
of swine throughout the state and
causing enormous losses to farmers
and livestock Taisers.

large herds in the vicinity of Spring.
field, and asking if the states veter.
inarians could not do something to
check the devastation. DR.. Fischer
says that unless funds can be imme'
diately provided by the state emer'
gency board to enlarge the force OF
state veterinarians to combat the dis.
case the loss will amount to many
millions of dollars.
The hogs cholera serum, manufac
tured by the state, is an absolute cure
says the veterinarian, but there are
not enough veterinarians to meet one
tenth of the calls which come from
the livestock raisers.

These glowing nuts are emblems true
OF what IN human life we view;
The Unmatched couple fret and fume
And thus in strife themselves consume,
Or from each other wildly start
And with a noise forever part

OF genuine love and truth sincere;
With mutual fondness while they burn,
Still to each other kindly turn;

Together gently sink away,
Till, life's ordeal over passed,
Their mingled ashes rest at last.

.PACKEY FINDS A LONG
LOST WALLOP AND
STOPS GOODMAN

New York, Jan. 1S.-Packey McFar-
land discovered his long-lost punch last
night and put a quietus on the cham
pionship aspirations of Jack Goodman.
the Brooklyn fighter, who has been
greatly overrated. The fancy boxer
from Chicago's stockyards fought like
a demon for a few moments and put
Goodman away with a crashing right
on the jaw in round FIVE.
Mcfarland had his opponent out
classed from beginning to end, his
footwork and clever jabbing bewilder-
ing the local youngster. The finish.
however, came as a great surprise and
showed Mcfarland up in better light
than any previous he has fought
before local clubs. The Chicago boy
always has been considered one of the
best of the fancy boxers, but of little
account in a toe-to-toe battle. He
sprung the punch last night, however,
and Goodman will vouch for the truth
of the general belief that there is a
tsing in the wallOp.
