After Dinner Tricks


A piece of string is tied in a loop,
which is doubled and the string is held
as in Figure 3. Some one cuts the
string, making four loose ends. The
performer places two of these ends in
his mouth and chews them When he
takes them from his mouth the loose
ends are found to be joined together
the string has been completely restored
The trick lies in the method OF
doubling the loop The string is not
doubled as one would ordinarily do it
(See Figure l but is doubled as in Fig
ure .. When the string is held between
the hands (Figure 81 the joining point
"a is concealed between the left
thumb and forefnger. The string, how
ever, appears to be doubled as in Fig
uEe l.
The string is cut at any point along
the portion held between the two hands
although the nearer the cut to the pint
"A" the better for the performer. thus
the string is divided into one long
section and one short one between the
points "a" and ''B." The performer
drops the ends held with the right
hand, and places the left hand ends in
his mouth. In chewing the pieces, the
short piece of string "A"-"B' is re-
tanned in the mouth and the long piece
Of string is with drawn with its center
apparently restored.

NEWTON COUNTY TO
HOLD HARVEST SHOW
BY l.. J. Wormington.

OS IL y. WUIIIlihSLUN.
! The opening date of the Newton
I County Harvest Show is only two
weeks away and plans are now fully
made for arrangements for one of
the best shows we. have ever had
Practically all of the details have been
arranged, the judges secured, and the
entries are growing every day. The
judges for the harvest show this year
will be C. Z. Shepherd, Sam Jordan,
J. Kelly Wright, W. o. Mckee, W. A.
Rhea, Miss Edna Maitland and T. j.
Talbert. A licensed poultry judge
will be secured this year as the poul-
try department is large enough to
justify It. Arrangements practically
have been made for securing this
Judge although his name cannot be
given at this time.
The superintendents of the depart
ments are as follows: C. T. Clark,
fruit; A. F. Karbe, poultry; z. t. Rus
sell, vegetables; C. W. Wallace, grain;
j. L. Farney, hogs; Spurgeon Robin
son, cattle; A. ]. Crunbaugh, horses
and mules. The pantry stores, house
hold arts and canned goods depart
ments will be handled by the two
women's clubs of the country. The
Home Makers Club will handle the
canned goods department and in adj
dition to making this department very
attractive, they will have a booth-eis-
play showing the accomplishments of
the club. This will be one of the fea-
lures of the show, The Country Ctuh
will handle the household arts and
pantry stores departments and will
probably make an individual exhibit.
The cattle department probably
will be the largest department again
this year. Colonel Barbee of Ritchey
viii come from the Ozark Stock Show
with fourteen head of his prize Here
fords, Otto Heckmaster of Diamond
win enter nine head of Herefords
from his show herd.
One of the big features of the show
this year will be a design display of
fruit which will he put on by the Neo-
sho Apple Growers Exchange under
the direction of A. f. Weston and
Charles Turner. They tell US nothing,
but we know what to expect and the
people of our district are assured OF
seeing one of the best fruit displays
that they have witnessed at any show
of size.
The dates for the harvest show this
year are October 3, z, II and 1e.
The entries will all be made on the
opening day. The judging will be
done on the second day, Tuesday.
