WHAT DO YOU MEAN KNOCK
THE SPOTS OFF,"

In the days of old, the days of
gold" miners sometimes used play
ing cards instead of horse thieves as
targets for pistol practice, and a good
shot could knock the spots off the 10
of hearts or 2 of diamonds and shat
ter the card to pieces. From knock
ing the spots off the cards to
knocking the spots off unwelcome
camp visitors was an easy step, and
the apt expression soon had general
circulation in the East as well as
West.

Big Increase In Live Stock In State

Totals compiled by the state tax
commission, from reports of all county
assessors for this year, show increases
in the number of live stock in the state
even more remarkable than were indi-
Gated by partial figures compiled a
week ago.
The total number of stock cattle in
the state, this years reports show, is
1876, 1888, as compared with 14S,978
last year, an increase of more than 25
per cent in one year. Particularly
interesting is the comparison Of the
yearling stock listed this year, 1888,
as compared with 1910 in 1913.
The number Of dairy cows listed this
year is 162, 444, as compared with 149,
14O last year, an increase Of nearly 10
per cent.
There are 1881 hogs assessed
this year, as compared with 1876, 500
last year, an increase of about 8 per
cent.
The number of sheep assessed this
year is 435, 756, as against 407 ,578 in
1918. Mules number 1905, as COM
pared with 1898, last year.
Horses are the only animals listed in
less number than last year, and their
total number, 257,976, is practically
the same as the number assessed last
year, 257,o23. The slight dimunition
in the number of horses undoubtedly
can be attributed to the increased use
Of automobiles.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-09-25

The totals for the state show 1928
automobiles assessed this year, as COM
pared with 10, 1O2 in 1913, an increase
of so per cent. The actual number
of automobiles in the state at the
present time is actually much greater,
as practically all 1914 deliveries have
been made since March l, when assess
ments Of property were made from
which the figures quoted above were
compiled.

Putting it to him that way rather
stumped him for bit, but after cud-
ceiling his brain for minute or two in
a vain effort to think Of something to
say in support of the stand he had
taken, he answered that, wal, 1 dun
no but mebbe we're right" and then I
told him: Well, now x, none of

We'll, he went along with me and
I spent the whole afternoon going over
prices and making comparisons. He
was sure some hard nut to crack, but
to make long story short, before he
left the rooms that afternoon he wrote
himself down a member of the league
and ever since that day has been the
hardest home trade fighter in the
county,
