Vic Parrish, chief factotum under

ties of Nebraska, was given thrill
last week that sent him to bed for a
couple Of days with bad case OF in
digestion. For months Parrish has
been preaching conservation Of food
To Nebraskans he has talked food
conservation day and night, in season
and out, and at the same time he has
practieed it to the limit.
For months Parrish has ebeen a
close student of all the substitutes
that have gone along with the daily
menu, always remembering that by
sticking to the Hoover rules he would
help win the war. L.. 81
The other day when Parrish was
going through some of his fishing
equipment that had been slowed away
in a box since last year and since he
made the trip to the Elkhorn, he came
across loaf of bread-tlie real white,
wheat -four bread, such as was served
year ago. Ii was dry, but it looked
good, and he debated upon whether OF
not to cat it. 1t was finally decided
that Mr.. Hoover would not object to
eating bread of the baking of one year
ago, Mr.. Parrish had part of the
loaf Of white bread soaked untilHii
was soft and then it was made into
toast-the real white bread toast. Oi
this Parrish ate and ate, 1t was toe

e't Clear Eye Required. q
Horseshoe playing is not game
for the neurotic or the myopic.
Steady nerves and clear eyes are pre-
requisites to success at this game OF
skill. A man with ague should not
enter a horseshoe tournament, nor
should a cross-cyed man attempt this
sport. The successful player must
have an even temperament aud he
should have both feet on the ground
and his eyes on the farther stake.
Some people believe that horseshoe
pitching is mere child's play, but such
persons occupy .untenable ground,
There is technique and fnesse i'll the
game. The player stands up at one
stake and directs the shoe toward the
farther stake by careful calculation
OF his eye. He has by practice CO.
ordinated his muscles and his eye. He
knows just how much power to put
behind the shoe to send it to the de-
sired spot. II is not hanpenstance.
He also learns to control his facial
muscles so that he does not display
undue anxiety while throwing. The
experienced player smiles as he
throws, sort of non-chalent smile. a
smile OF supreme confidence. 1t is
a delight to observe an experienced
player. 1t reminds one OF the days of
the discus throwcrs back in Rome
and Athens, Or wherever the discus
throwers maintained their headquaf-
ters in the good old days of knights
and chevaliers and chariot races.

Judge Down.

Judge Day of district court had the
thrill Of his life 20 years ago while
hunting with the late c. E. Bates in
Idaho. He related the experience in
this manner: $685..

and we intended to hunt in the timber
reserve. ! was nat much of a hunter.
but thought that the outing would
be enjoyable. We had a guide and
our purpose was to keep out of the
National park, as there was a severe
penalty for being caught in the park
with unsealed guns. Three United
States soldiers drove up and Bates
told the guide to talk to them. They
informed us that we were two miles
within the park limits, whereupon Wis
ions of arrest and possibly fine went
through my mind. / told the soldiers
that we wanted to stay within the law,
but were uncertain as to our where
abouts.
One of the soldiers observed that
I carried tooth brush in my vest
pocket and he remarked that
poaeher would not carry this toilet
article. We invited the soldiers to
lunch and all went we'll until / started
back to our camp. While crossing
Snake river, which was 400 feet wide,
my pony slipped in the ice-cold water
and ! was drenched and thought that

and guide rescued me and ] covered
the three miles to camp, where first

With the determination that comes
of fear he started pushing back in the
direction he had entered the trap.
His head bumped the bottom of the

tom were barnacles, which were long
and painfully sharp. But he didn't
mind that: he wanted air for his fast

about their fluctuations or COM

"Over the top!, was a remark heard
during the recent tournament. One
OF the village sports from Blair said
Alta boy" Another player said,
Don't argue; you'll never make a
good partner if you argue"
Charles McLeland, after a poor
play, was heard to say. "A puff OF
wind confused me-" He did not al
low himself to be perturbed because
the wind played an unexpected turn
against his luck. He did not scold
the wind in angry terms but only a
mellifuous utterance was directed
against the atmospheric disturbance
to indicate that he was not overjoyed.
PersiAage and folderol do not enter
into the sport. 1t is a gentleman's 5

tournament is as foreign to the game
as a game of craps would be at a

The ancient ard honorable game o.
horscsh e~pitching is enjoying a re-
crudescence. When 40 or SO men
will stand in The sun, with the tenn
perature at ITO degrees. as they did
few days ago in Fontenelle park,
there must be something in the game
10 commend it to the children OF men.
There was time in the dim past,
in the haicyon days Of horseshoes,
when an adept at this king OF out
door sports was, a man who was
looked up to by the community. He
was man who did things and he
always was served at the first table
and did not have to ask for second
piece OF pie. They just pushed the
pie over to him. He wore medal
on his coat and the village beaux and
bellies focused their glances on him.
He created an atmosphere OF distinc-
ton wherever he went and he re-
ccivcd passes to the opera house,
For several decades horseshoe
pitching lost its vogue. An era OF
golf, pinochlc, tiddledewinks. char
ades, tablcaux, high five and spin the
plate offered varied public diyertise-
ments. The lorseshoes were hung
over the door to bring good luck TO
the owners, Now and then some of
the boys in the upstate towns brought
out the shoes on Sunday morning and
matched their ability, but as gen.
eral thing the game went into decad-
dence until this outdoo.. classic was
never mentioned in polite society.
Comes Back With Glory.
The game, however, has come back
III all of its glory, and indications are
that many addicts will be registered
before Old Man Winter wraps the
Garth again In his mantle Of white.
Pitching horseshocs is not game
TO be sneezcd at. although the players
may and do sneeze at times. There
is no rule against sncezing II is not
true that horseshoe players indulge
in horse laughs during games. That
is an erroneous impression given cur

tial to croquct 1t is mans game
and il is humanizing game. II is not
silk stocking game. because none Of
the players at the recent state tourna-
.ment in Fontenclle park wore silk
stockings. They wore socks. Neither
were they arrayed I'M any glorious
habiliments like Solomon or Jack Has
kell. They wore suspenders and plain
store clothes. There was an excep-
ton, as there Is to every rule. This
