Leon G-Coryd0n 0.

The Corydon High School team
met defeat on the Leon grounds last
Saturday in very fast and well
played game. Gardner for the locals
went over the line for touch down
during the first half and this ended
the scoring. On one other occasion
Leon was near their goal line, but
lost the ball on tumble. Corydon
also got within yard of their goal
line on two different occasions but
Leon took brace each time and
held them on the fourth down.
Corydon did great execution in
punching the line. They gained
much more ground than the locals
For Leon it may be said they did not
present their strongest front. Sever
al veterans were kept out on account
of injuries. This necessitated the

IF a Naturalist Painted,

If l were to paint the short days of
winter I should paint two towering
icebergs approaching each other like
promontories., for morning and even
ing, with cavernous recesses and sol
itary traveller wrapping his cloak about
him and bent forward against the
driving storm, just entering the narrow
pass. I would paint the light Of ia
per at midday, seen through cottage
window, half buried in snow and frost.
In the foreground should be seen the
sewers in the fields and other evidences
Of spring. On the right and left Of
the approaching icebergs the heavens

Aida Ridgeway.

Aida Ridgeway was born on a
farm west of Leroy, Iowa, March -,
1880, and died Oct. ~, 1916, at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Job Ridgeway, of Chillicothe, Mo-,
aged SO years, months and 8 days.
He made his home all his life In
Iowa except the last six years which
the family spent in Chillicothe, Mo.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Kate Moorehead, March z, 1902, at
the Moorehead home near Humeston.
To this union were born four chill
dren, Max, Pauline, Lois and
Blanche, who with the mother and
parents are left to mourn the loss OF
q loving father, husband and son.
In January, 1915. he united with
the South Elm NJ. e. church at Chill
licothe, having always lived a life
beyond reproach and was highly re-
spected by all who knew him. He
was sufferer for some time before
his death and through it all was
patient to the end.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Job Ridgeway home at Chilli
cothe, Mo-, and the remains were
brought to Garden Grove for inter-
ment, q short service being conduct
ed at the grave by Rev. Mitchell Of
the Garden Grove M. e. church.

Easy Money.

One of the most valuable loads of
farm products hauled into this place
for some time was load of Grand
River" hickory nuts, which were
brought in Saturday by Ben Law
renee from the east fork of Grand
River some sixteen miles east of Beth
any. The wagon was loaded to the
top of the sideboards, there being
about 60 bushels which found a
ready sale at 81 per bushel, or $3.50
for the load.
Years ago when the axhandle in
dustry flourished in the Grand river
country much of the choice hickory
timber was cut and the best of the
tree trunks sold to the mill men for a
trifle. The big hickory nuts were
SO plentiful that they had little cash
value. 1t was free pitch-in to any
one who would pick them up and
they were hauled awey by the wagon
loads. But it is different now. The
few remaining groves are more vigi-
lantly guarded than the average APP
pie orchard. and OF late years have
been yielding more profitable re-
turns. Bethany Democrat.

Ono Misery of AneIo.lndian Life.

Every night ut dinner the Anglo-In-
dian holds kind Of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some Of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one insect-a little. fiat, brown,
shining creature-which emits the
worst odor in the world. If one Of
these touches your food the whole is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for if one be
squashed the whole room becomes fill
ed with its disgusting smell and Is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with impunity, while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and inwardly sigh "spero meliora."

Something About Trapping.

To the boys of this locality:
In the first place, it is against the
law to trap or kill any kind CT fur
bearing animal until December LIST.
In the second place. you must have
a license to hunt or trap, and you
must be sixteen years of age; that is
the law.
Skunks are very easy to trap. Find
their den where they stay; set your
trap in the out edge of their den.
You don't need to cover up the trap
as they walk right into it. It is the
same way with civits.
In trapping coon, find where they
travel along the water and tie piece
of bright tin on the pan of your trap.
Set the trap under the water where
it is shallow. A coon is very inquisi-
ti,e-he will put his paw in to see
what it is and get caught.
Mink are very cunning and hard
to catch. You find them about old
drifts. You have to cover up your
trap and either hang your bait over
the trap about foot, or take two
small logs and lay them close enough
that they can just pass through
over the top of the two logs, with
another so it will be close and tight.
Make it about four or five feet long.
Set trap at each end of the logs in
your passageway. Put your bait in
the center of the runway. tMuskrat is
the best bait to catch them with.
Muskrats are easy to catch. Their
dens start in under the water; find
where they are and set your trap far
enough out in water that he cannot
get on dry land, or he will gnaw his
foot off and get away. Set your trap
at the same place as long as you
catch them, as they stay in families,
from five to twenty in den.

The lvre Bird.

The fully DEVELOPED male Tyre bird
is one Of the most handsome and nota
Bile of the forms Of bird life of Queens
land. The contour of the bird, with
it's long neck and stout gallinaceous
feet, is by no means unlike that Of q
peacock, and the wonderful tail, pos.
sessed only by the male birds, fulfills
a corresponding role of vain display.
The bird executes antics for train
of female admirers on a raised earth
en-. mound. For short period of the
year, about January, the Tyre bird loses
its characteristic plumes and has to be
content with the sober plumage of its
mate.

THE HIGH PRICE
Of GASOLINE
CONSUMERS WILL HAVE TO PAY
MORE FOR FUEL BEFORE THE
SUMMER rs OVER.
INSTRUCTIVE INTERVIEW
A Prominent Wholesaler Analyses the
Present Condition.; Sees No
Relief i'm Sight.

The price of gasoline has taken an
other iumn this week in certain sec
tions of the country. In Washington,
d. c., for instance, the wholesale price
is now % cents a gallon: retail, it
is bringing from "a to II cents. In
Charleston the price retail has been
for some time at 25 cents, and whole
sale from % to to "a cents.
The local price, both wholesale and
retail, still remains several cents
above the prices prevailing in other
towns along the main lines of large
railroads. For weeks past the price
ot gasoline per gallon in Henderson
vile, both wholesale and retail, has
been far above any thing like the
amount obtained elsewhere. No rea-
son has ever been forthcoming from
the local dealers, and as there seems
to be no remedy for the intolerable
situation matters will doubtless stand
as they are, or get worse. The local
retail price is 80 cents per gallon,
while the wholesalers get 26 cents.
