GAMES FOR CHILDREN
AT CHRISTMAS TIME.

It may be for Christmas party, or
for. the family gathering, that you will
need ideas; for either, the following
games will furnish fun for young and
old alike.
The Game of Tip.
This old English game requires the
use of enough assorted Christmas can
dies, nuts, raisins, and other dainties,
to make small pile upon a table;
also a pair of sugar tongs. One of the
party is chosen, who must retire to an
other room while the remaining play
ers decide upon one of the dainties
in the pile to be known as "Tip." The
chosen person is then recalled, and
with the tongs removes pieces from
the pile, trying to avoid the piece
named Tip, of which, however, he does
not know the location. All pieces
removed belong to him, unless he re-
moves Tip, when all must be returned
to the pile, and the turn passes to the
next player, who retires to the other
room while another Tip is named. A
player may pass his turn when, after
drawing several pieces, he wants to

CHESS CHAMPION is COMING
Akiba Rubinstein, Russian Chess
Wizard, Hopes to Meet American
Players This Winter.

According to a recent letter re.
ceived from Warsaw, Akiba Rubin
stein, chess champion of Russia, de-
Sires to visit America and will come
over if the clubs of this country ex-
press their readiness to put sufficient
engagements his way to make it pos
sible for him to arrange an extended
American tour. He is also prepared
to take part in any international
tournaments that may be arranged on
the lines of the one conducted by the
Manhattan Chess club last October
and November.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1919-11-27

avoid the possibility of losing them
through drawing Tip. The game
continues until the pile disappears.
A Fill-in Game.
For a laughter producer this game
has no peer. A poem is selected and
copied upon paper, with each noun
omitted and line drawn in it's place.
Then the nouns are copied upon small
cards, one upon each. The cards are
dealt, an equal number to each player,
and a player is chosen as reader. The
reader reads the poem, pausing at
each space, and the players fill in, in
turn, q noun from the cards in their
pile. The nouns will seldom come in
their original places, and the result
will be ridiculous mix-up.
Sliced Toy Puzzles.
From advertisements cut pictures of
toys, and paste these upon pieces of
cardboard; then with sharp knife
slice the cardboard into irregular
pieces as indicated in Fig. 1. Place
the parts of each picture in an en-
velope by itself. When ready to play
the game, give each player an envel-
ope, and direct him to put together the
parts so as to make the picture of the

CASEY RANKED HIGH ON GRID
Harvard Football Star Has Yet to
Prove His Equality With Mahan,
Declares Critic.

Football scribes of Boston and, else
where are putting Eddie Casey of
Harvard in the same class with Eddie
Mahan. Well, Casey is good, there is
no doubt about that, but it would be
as well to bide the passing of Novem-
Der before placing him in the niche
alongside one of the greatest, if not
the greatest, backs Of all time, says
writer in an exchange.
Casey, by the way, has already had
his blooding, metaphorically and liter
ally. He participated in the Harvard
Yale 1916 game and in the first half
got loose and ran through pretty much
all the Yale team over distance Of
some so yards for touchdown. A
Harvard man, however, was detected
in the commission of forf1 and the
brilliant run went for naught. The
pathetic part of it was that the run
was not affected one way or the othe.
by the foul. Then Immediately after
this hair-raising dash Casey was called

let you pick scrap from his waste
pile, or will sell you piece for few
cents. Wood three-eighths-inch thick
is just right. Both sides must be
cut alike, and the surest way to
get them so is to draw a center
line, first, then lay off the measure
ments each side of this. The notches
in the bottom edge receive the base
blocks Gig. 81. Bore a small hole in
the. beveled portion of one end Of each
base block, glue a peg in it to form the
front of the pen-rack, and fasten the
blocks in the notches cut for them.

some wood stain and wax. A small
calendar-pad tackled to the center of
the board, and felt glued to the under
side of the base blocks, will complete
the gift.

BIG YEAR FOR ASSOCIATION
TurnstiIes Show Paid Attendance Well
Over 100000 in President
Hickeys Circuit.

This has been the most successful
season in the history of the American
association, with the trunstiles show
ing a paid attendance well over the
100000 mark. So elated are President
Thomas j. Hickey and his associates
that they are talking Of next year"
when many ambitious plans will be
given trial.
The principal reason for the citation
of the A. A. moguls is that they kept
their own counsel and decided to play
154 games, despite the advice of the
timid majors and other minor circuits.
AS a result of their foresight in
seeing that the national pastime was
coming back strong after the war pc
Rod. the association club owners were
able to stage IA more games than the
bigger circuits, and the income there
from was no small item.
Only two of the eight clubs in the
association will show O deficit for the
campaign. 1t is believed,

First, prepare the base board by the
pattern Of Fig. 2, then the pair of ends
by the pattern of Fig. 3, then two
pairs of brackets like the one in Fig.

the rack requires. Be careful to get
the sides Of the end pieces symmet-
rical. Bevel the edges of the base
board.
Use ,round-headed blued screws for
assembling the parts, and place these
in the positions indicated in Fig. 1. A

IN THE DAYS OF BEAVER HATS.

In the olden days in the United
States soon after the Revolutionary
war, good beaver hat became a
kind Of family heirloom, and was
handed down from father to son. For
some strange reason it was considered
to be rather frivolous and extravagant
to be seen wearing a new beaver hat.
and 1t was the custom when a man
bought one to leave it out in stormy
weather before wearing it. to take

Acrostic Place Cards.

An original idea for the place cards
for the Christmas party is to prepare
them in the form of letters from Santa
Claus, with the names and addresses
of the guests worked out in acrostics,
as is suggested on the two specimen
envelopes in the illustration and have
the guests find their places by inter-
preting the inscriptions upon the en-
velopes. The first envelope illustrated
reads, miss Lillian Cook, 415 Adams
Street." the second one, "Mr. Harry

he can pitch real ball, as he always

him a chance to his liking.

will make you rich in a few years We don't
believe in wildcat speculations, and have made
it a purpose to discourage same, as you all
know but we do believe it is the duty of every
man to provide home for himself and family
and you can do it here better than any other
place we know of
Some people will say it is too far north and
they can't raise corn, etc. Look at Denmark,
for instance, one of the richest agricultural
states in the world 1t is still farther north,
and they don't raise one ear of corn, but still
make great success of farming Don't stand
in your own light Your own eyes should be
the judge and the wonderful crops and country
as you will see, WILL CONVINCE YOU THE
SAME AS 1T DID U.s.
The strongest appeal we can make to you is
to ask you to come and see for yourself what
others have done AND ARE NOW DONG.

Crop Failures are Unknown in This Part of
the Country

The reason for this is that this land is not in
the arid belt 1t is less than two hundred
miles west of Audubon county, Iowa.
Unimproved and partly improved farms, all
sizes, which can be bought at prices ranging
from $500 to $4,000 per acre, according to
improvements. Some very fine farms at about
$4,000 per acre. We are able to quote such
prices because you deal direct with the owner
and don't have to pay commission to two or
three agents. The owner pays us a reasonable
commission, giving the purchaser the benefit of
the low price.
We call your attention to the fact that this
part of the country has been settled for several
years, and all the land is first class farm land,
all in cultivation, raising good crops 1t is not
like buying elsewhere, where it is still prairie,
and where you can get no returns on your in
vestment, but have to pay out money every
year in order to own it.
AS soon as you purchase land here you can
move right on to it and start making money, or
you can by furnishing seed, rent it for half the
crop; and we make the prophecy that the crops
you raise will pay for the land in less than 10
years, and in the meantime the land will double
in value. This is a conservative statement, as
we have goodmany right there who have
done it in one or two years, but we don't want
to exaggerate anything or disappoint anyone.

TESTIMONY IN TRIAL OF
 MRS. BESSIE M. LUNDGREN

Lawrence, Mass, June 10-Prelim- mary testimony was heard today in the trial of Mrs. Bessie M (Skeels) Lundgren for the murder of Miss Florence w. Gay. Only one witness took the stand, Mrs. Agnes Clahin, of Andover, who was employed as a nurse in the Gay home for a period shortly before Miss Gays death in December 1917.
 Mrs. Claflin testified that her em- ployment ceased two days before Miss Gay died. She said that while she was there she never saw the doctor, but received all her instructions from Mrs. Skeels, the nurse in charge of the cases of Miss Gay and her mother. Miss Gay, she testified. complained of a sore throat few days before her death and failed steadily after that. She testified that Miss Gay was very sensitive about a skin disease. from which she was suffering.
 District Attorney Wells, outlining the states case, said that it would be shown that arsenic had been adminis- tered to Miss Gay, that Mrs. Skeels had admitted that she possessed a so- lution of arsenic for treating a skin disease, and that Mrs Skeels had the opportunity to administer it. Evi- dence that clothing and jewelry owned by Miss Gay had been found in Mrs. Skeels' room, the district attorney 1 said, would establish motive for the alleged murder
