JACK HOLT DOES cowsoY STUNT

Despite the fact that for a number
of years he carried the overland mail
in Alaska, Jack Holt had never per-
formed n of the big stunts of the
cowboys until he became a memper
Of Jacques Jaccard's company, which
Is producing the big Universal serial
entitled Liberty, a daughter of the U.
s. A."
In n scene, the character played
by Holt was required to bulldog a
steer, which is considered one of the
most dangerous of the pastimes of the
cowboys.
But Jack has nerve and strength,
and he was not going to let any one
else take his part.
I. When ali was ready, he sat quietly
and let a huge Texas steer charge al
him.
At the psychological moment he
stepped quickly to one side and seiz
ed the huge beast by the horns. Their
came the battle between the man ant
the steer. Inch by inch. Holt twisted
the head OF the animal until in exhaus
ton It sank to the ground, with the
actor sitting on its head as a token Of
victory.

Jerde Bros. living two miles south
east of Toronto certainly had some
potato crop this year, we have not
heard of anyone around here yet who
has it tied or beat. This year they put
in u acres of potatoes and this week
they finished up digging and hauling.
They received 1920 bushels from the
patch or about 1873 bushels to the acre
which certainly is a dandy yield and
the potatoes were good and sound.
They sold the spuds for $4,000 besides
reserving about 325 bushels for their
w use and seed.
