GOOD MONEY FROM BAD EGG
Jim Buckley Finally Proved Truth 81
Saying That He Was Fond
Of Repeating.

THAR ain't nothin' In the world but
IL good fer somethln'n Is one OF the
favorite sayings OF Jim Buckley Of
Bear Lake.
Buckley is a thrifty soul. He farms
in summer and traps In winter and be-
tween wheat and furs he Is growing
rich. One morning his wife was cook
ing breakfast. She broke q rotten egg
into a skillet and was starting toward
the door to throw it away when Buck
ley stopped her.
Woman. don't throw that egg
away said Buckley.
"But it's rotten" protested his wife.
Makes no difference" declared the
philosopher. THAR amt nothin' In the
world but"
James Buckley" exclaimed his
wife. 'Tye heard that a thousand
tines"
The wolf never shifts at the doors Of
the prosperous farmers Of the Peace
river country. But foxes are different
animals-here is something you don't
know-rotten eggs are rated as an cpl
cureau tidbit in yulpine menus.
That night Buckley set a trap In a
poplar grove ear his home and baited
1t with the rotten egg. He hoped to
catch a red fox or perhaps a coyote.
But when he went out to his trap next
morning. what do you think he found?
The biggest silver fox Buckley ever
had clapped eyes on. He sold the pelt
In Peace River the other day for $$346.
"a right nice lot o. money to hatch
from a rotten egg" remarked Buckley,
as he stuffed the money in his pocket.

seven fold the skill of him who learn
ed by being told"
The Solid Geometry Glass has been
busy for several days with the prac-

transfer it into practical knowledge.
The Sophomore Class entertained
the Seniors at the High School Gym
nasium last Wednesday evening. The
students of both classes. with the
teachers who were present, enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent by
playing games, singing aolos, telling
stories and initiating various animals
and persons. The Gym was very
nicely decorated fol- the occasion with
class colors. penants and American
fags. A delightful lunch was served
at the proper time which appessed
the hunger of all, as there was an
abundance of it and to spare.
There have been several visitors in
the Superintendent's office lately.

2. More money from the state to
help the schools of the local commu-
mites.
