They found the attractions Just as
they had been exploited and almost
every person who visited the grounds
pronounced it one much above the or
dinary.
Many expected to see dirty and
degrading acts that are characteristic
of many sucn companies, but found
all of them clean and wholesome. Mr..
Reiss has gathered together collec-
ton that would be hard to surpass or
even equal.
The free attractions were drawing
cards last night At nine o'clock the
little dog made his high dive at the
west end of the grounds and at 1O:30
the man made the famous 1O2-foot
leap backward into the four feet OF
water. Altogether, it was great and
enjoyed by all.

SPELLING BEE
NEXT SATURDAY
EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE
COUNTY WILL SEND ITS BEST
SPELlERS.

Ye old time spelling bees are grow
ing in interest lately and there will
be another match here Saturday un-
der the auspices of the office of coun-
ty superintendent. Each district in
the county will have at least two rep
resentatives and each of the ward
schools in the city will have two or
three spoilers for the contest. Daubs
speller will be used. The old Blue
Back will be dispensed with for this
bee and the boys and girls will spell
from the book they study every day
The alarm in school work has been
sounded that people come from the
schools under latter day teaching and
cannot spell. The old time methods
of teaching orthography produced
better results. too much time is de-
voted to folderols some educator has
said and the superintendent of this
county, Prof Fred Tucker, is of the
opinion that spelling should not be
neglected in Carter county and these
contests will be kept up during the
year. The spelling bee begins at 10
o'clock Saturday morning.

and securing their subscriptions to

This work will be in the hands
of a special committee of responsi.
bic business and professional men
with one of their number as treas
urer and all money VIII be dispensed
at the order of the committee by
voucher and public report made.
The chief expense will be the train
ed secretary who must be an all
round man capable of taking his
place in the life of the city. No
other type of man should be placed
in so responsible a position. Such
a man can probably be secured for
$1,000 or $500. Such men as are
secured for these places can com
mand twice the salary in business
or professional positions. At Enid
the business men claimed that their
man ranked among the strongest
men in the city and that his ser
vices were of untold value to the
community. The president of one of
the banks claimed that the secretary
had been worth $1,000 to him the
first six months he was there.
This is strictly a business propo-
sition, the value of which has been
so thoroughly demonstrated that there

SUGGESTS SALT TO
CATCH THE WORDS
LADY MAILS POSTCARD PoR-
TRAYlNG RABBIT, SALT AND A
PORTMAN-GOOD IDEA.

Here's a tip to those in search of
the willy missing words-put salt on
their tails-ordinary table salt, per
haps will do.
Yesterdays mail brought numerous
lists of words to the contest manager,
one including a postcard representing
a sportsman with a shotgun in hand
applying salt to the tail of a rabbit
in an effort to beguile the aforesaid
cottontail to intimidate it and capture
the defenseless little creature. When
the writer was a boy this plan, We
were told, always resulted successful
ly, provided the proper kind of salt
was used and the application made
strictly according to directions.
Where We We're raised we had long,
cold winters, much snow-and plenty
of game-rabbits, too, but no missing
words. Groundhogs abounded in that
country, too, and it was great sport
to set a steel trap at the entrance to
their holes at night and go down
bright and early next morning to in
vestigate and see what, if anything,
We had trapped. Ususally We would
catch groundhog-som some
\ hinu n1cn nrn niubf har
(perfectly welD of strolling down
along the river in search of a ground
hogs hole. We found the hole and
proceeded to set the trap, fastening
it securely, by chain, around the
trunk of a tree. Next morning we
hied ourselves away to the spot where
We had set our trap-and no sign of
it was visible-whatever had become
in its jaws had pulled the
trap into the hole-clear in as far as
the chain would permit. We took
hold of the chain and pulled-easily
at first-and then, bracing our feet
against the butt of the tree, pulled
and tugged with might and main un-
til the thing seemed to turn loose
land it did)-and we
yanked out of that hole a great big
well, it wasn't a groundhog-and it
wasn't anything that usually per-
meates the air with the sweet frag-
rance of roses, carnations or jas
mines. At any rate if there ever was
a time in the happenings of our ad
venturous career when We really did
need salt 1--WE mean smelling salts)
this was the very moment. Forever
thereafter We carried a bounteous
supply of salt with Ills upon our hunt
ing expeditions.
So, now get your salt and go after
these missing words. Today the
four words omitted are worth one
dollar each-and most anyone could
find them in four minutes time-a
dollar a minute-who wouldn't work
for that salary. The contest man
would, himself, consider salary
proposition like that.
