that in all cases they will have known
that Grant county has been at the
show. Griswold Brothers, at Living
ston, are showing a heifer that is go
ing to cause judges to study. One OF
the loads of hogs shown by Clyde
Walker will be hard for the judges TO
over look These men all deserve
credit, they are helping to put Grant
county on the map in real large let
tiers. Give them real support, and
also see what you can do to help
stamp the "The California of Wiscon-
sin" where it belongs-on top.

The demand has been SO strong for
this war salvage explosive that costs
only $595 per hundred, that We are
forced to take orders for third car.
To date we have ordered for Grant
county men 100000 pounds. Sixteen
thousand of which has arrived, the
balance we expect some time within

into this Office that we are now max
ing up orders on a third car to be de-
livered some time in the spring.
Therefore, if you have not as yet got
in on the material better let us know

ISOLATION, which goes into every part
of Wisconsin seeking out early and
unsupported cases through its free ex-
aminations. These Clinics are sup

more than 5000 cases of tuberculosis
have been found. Thousands of bodily
disorders other than tuberculosis ha'
been brought to light at these clinics
1t is estimated that there are owe.

suspected by the victims themselves,
and to find as many of these cases as
possible in the early and most durable
stages and to urge prompt treatment

He was huge mountain lon'

III to zip. He was king among the
Montana cattle killers, possessed OF
remarkable cunning and daring. His
existence was charmed one. FOR
four Years II bounty OF $500 has been
awaiting any hunter who would eN
hibit his pelt.
He would strike the cattle ut night,
kill six or eight steers and vanish
to show up in some place far re-
moved.
Hunting parties were organized
and his great tracks trailed through
the snow. But in nj cases previously
they suddenly would break off and
al trace of him be lost. He was re
ferred to as the phantom lion Cat
tlemen despaired of his ever being
killed. No trap, however carefully con
cealed, tempted him.
But Beebe Got Him.
When Chauncey L. Beebe, whose
exploits make him champion big
game hunter of America, took up the
trail. the cattlemen discouraged him,
he reported Wheye others had failed
he insisted that his especially trained
hound, Jerry" would succeed.
With no one but Jerry" for. a com
panion, he struck off for the deer
country, near Nyack, Mont, in the
hope that he could locate the lion
feeding on deer in the high country.
After four days he found the trail
and put Jerry" on it. The dog fol-
lowed it for upwards Of fifteen miles,
when it abruptly ended.
