! Fred Rensmeyer has placed an ad-
vertisement for his percheron horse
in the World this week. He is also
making a commendable offer of Civ
ing a prize of $1,000 to the breeder
who wins blue ribbon on a colt from
his horse which is exhibited at the

District No. %, twelve miles south of
| Wa-Keeney, since last Friday even

rough and tumble pugilistic encount-
ers is not only hard on the face and
| eyes and the pocket book but it is also
very unsatisfactory This was proven
during the last week by two encoun-

enthusiasm than when they started.
Scrap No. occurred Monday and end

case are the contestants satisfied with
the outcome and the question at issue
