RIFLE BIGGEST BUCK

Billy Switzer says he'll give fine
rifle free-without any strings, res
ervations or obligations on the part
of the givee-to the feller what kills
the biggest buck this coming deer
season. All he asks is that any hum
ter who thinks he's going to be the
man come in to the Switzer store and
register before the opening of the
deer season. If you kill buck with
80 points it won't do you no good a
tall as far as the rifle is concerned,
unless you are registered. And you
must have a hunters license, or you're
ineligible to any prize except free
board in county jail.
The buck must be weighed. Nearly
every feller what kills one in over
exuberance overestimates its weight
a few or many pounds, according to
the expansion the big fish always gets
when its catcher tells about it. Billy
will have trestle out in front O he
store with scales to weigh the animal
corpus delicti once buckti.
The rifle is the new Winchester

year. as a result of this super-attrac
ton.
1.-The amount of publicity this state
will receive cannot be estimated,
said the governor, NOR can we say
too much for this highway, for there
is nothing in the whole country that
EQUALS it. With the advertising it is
bound to get as result of this. large

STUMP GREW "a YEARS
AFTER TREE CUT

4 Will the stump of a western
:. yellow pine continue to grow?
!. Ordinarily the answer would be
:. mo" but the Coconino forest
!. has evidence to the contrary.
:. Lumberman Fred Merkle of the
+ Flagstaff forest office found and
!. sent into the office stump
:. which has been growing for at
+ least "a years since the tree was
:. cut.
!. 1t is presumed that, in clearing
!. the right-of- way for the Mineral
:. Belt railroad this tree was cut,
= leaving stump about two feet
!. high and 13 inches in diameter.
:. IF this is an accurate supposition,
!. there should be about forty rings
!. showing since the cutting took
+ place. The growth put on is
:. only about two-tenths Of an inch
!. in radius, and the annual rings
= are so close together that it may
:. be possible that the % rings
:. which can be counted are not the
!. exact number. During dry years
!. the growth is exceedingly min
= ute and many rings are SO close
:. as to appear as one.
!. The stump was about five feet
:. away from large yellow pine
!. tree and it must be that the
!. roots of this had some union with
