PEACE OFFICERS
DESTROY BOOZE.

An interested and withal
thirsty crowd watched the Of
ficers of the sheriff's force
yesterday at noon when they
destroyed some 40 gallons of
moonshine whiskey by pouring
it down a manhole near the
court house corner. The
"moOn" comprised the loot
captured in the auto of Claude
Solt, who recently pleaded
guilty to possessing and trans
porting the same. That the
"moon" must have been po-
tent is proven by the fact that
scarcely had the officers fin
ished their unwelcome task
when two autoes collided al
most over the pot where the
booze was destroyed. Were
the fumes that strong?

ADVENTURE OF

BY Olive Roberts Barton

Mister Bob Cat chased Paddy-foot
Rabbit under the sycamore tree and
lost him. Or rather Paddy-foot led
his pursuer to the tree and disap-

overhead and Mister Bob Cat climbed
up after him, but Hooty flew away
just in time. Next Drummer Par

gust. "Oh, there's Paddy-foot Rab-
bit again. I'll get him this time!"
But Paddy-foot must have been
looking hard, for he scampered off
just as he had before, tearing
straight for a gum tree, with Mister
Bob Cat at his heels. But he shot
down hole just as he had before.
Then Hooty Owl hooted overhead
and up went Mister Bob Cat again.
And when he got away for the second
time, Drummer Partridge began, and
