In connection with the announce

ton, John r. Moron. president OF

pany Cof Texas made the follow
ing statements:
we will begin shipping on Mon
day, June "a. and considering that
we began construction operations
only in October last, It is very
gratifying to me that we have been
able TO fulfill in such a short time
the promise we made last Septem-
Der to the effect that we would
have an Atlas plant operating IN
Waco at the earliest possible date"
Our objective to make this plant
the most modern possible Of con-
.struction has been fully realized
and we have found that the prop
critics in the raw materials Of Waco
are particularly well suited to pro-
duce the high standard Of quality
we demand in the Atlas product.
1T might be well to point out
that the Atlas company also oper-
ates other plants in the vets, at
Hannibal. Mo, and Independence,
Kas. and in the south at Leeds.

plant being so located that they
can supplement each other. and

An interesting sidelight on the
production is the music. An excel

does not necessarily mean that you
should throw back SO percent of
the fish you hook or pass up most
of the game you could shoot-not
by long shot-but it does mean
that every day common sense
should be practised when outdoors
and any man, woman or child that
practices good conservation feels
in his, or her, own heart that they
are true sportsmen. The real
sportsman takes only what he
needs from natures playground
and leaves the largest share for fu-
ture propagation.
"The Izaak Walton League of
America represents everything that
means good sportsmanshp and con-
servation. This organization has
done wonders in preserving what is
left Of our outdoors and it is my
wish that every lover Of nature be-
comes a member and worker of this
conservation movement. BY helping
the League with it's great program
of game restoration, fish propaga-
tion, forest reserves, refugees and
fight against pollution we all will be
able to enjoy better shooting, fish
ing and outdoor in years to come
And besides, it means a lot to those

to enjoy the outdoors when they
grow up-wouldn't you"

What the Old Guide Saws


'"The sentiment that it is not all
of fishing to fish nor all of shoot
ing to shoot is one which sounds
well when interjected into a record
Of success in the field; but gives
sorry comfort in allivation on the
disappointment and chargn which
crown an utterly barren enterprise
with rod and gun," remarked old
Hank, the guide, as he showed his
ram-rod down the barrel of his
aged twelve gauge. When one
goes for fish or game he wants
something tangible to show for it.;
that is, unless he shall be content
to dodge all his sportsmen friends,
or cultivate the arts of deceit and
dissimulation.
"Now, listen-by this statement I
do not mean that it necessary to
60 out and take the limit every
time you go afield, but do real
ize that the average sportsman
tires of listening to the birds sing.
watching the butterflies fit about
or witness beautiful scenery while
his fly remains untouched by a
trout, or his gun silent on account
Of shooting no game. No angler

neither does a hunter welcome the

with an empty bag.

A group of special winter term
courses are being offered in Farm

impossible to go to school during
the fall months when they are

pentry.
The three months course in Ag-

Victim Kills Bandit


A bullet from his own gun, fired
by an irate Duluth groceryman,
who resented being smashed over
the head, ended the life and career
of Karl Winslow, Minneapolis ban
dit, when he attempted to rob
Mike Claccio, Duluth merchant.
Winslow, also known as Patrick
Hood, 26 years old, walked into
Claccio's store Thursday evening
while the proprietor was preparing
to close. He ordered Claccio and
customer to put up their hands.
They obeyed.
Claccio, 51a feet tall, made no
belligerent move until WEnslow,
six feet tall, strobe behind the
counter and smashed the proprie-
tor over the head with the butt of
his gun. Quivering with rage,
Claccio grappled with the bandit.
The gun fell to the floor and ex-
ploded. A bullet pierced a can of
tomatoes above their heads. The
gunman ran for the door. Claccio
fell on the gun, raised and fired at
the retreating figure. The assail
ant staggered near the door, fore
ed it open and ran outside. Claccio
pursued, firing as he went. A
block away Winslow collapsed and
died in a snowdrift. He came or
iginally from Little Falls, police
say.

This Doctors Prescription
Requires No Gargling

No longer is it necessary to
gargle and choke with nasty tast-
ing medicines to relieve sore throat.
Now you can get almost instant re-
lief with one swallow of a doctors

popular that the druggist who orig.
inally filled it decided to put it up

it available to everyone.
The remarkable thing about
Thoxine is that it relieves almost
instantly, yet contains nothing
harmful. It is pleasant tasting, and
safe for the whole family, and is
guaranteed to relieve sore throats
or coughs in Is minutes or money
