Games That Will Keep
Your Party Going

word, he snatches the letters he
needs and forms the word in
front Of his own place. That
word Is his until another player,
by drawing q letter, can change
that word into yet another. He
then captures the word. and In
its new condition places It in
front of his place. The object is
to acquire sever words and hold
them against all corners.
The shortest word with which
q player can begin. Is a word Of
four letters The player as he
draws, may alter and increase the
length Of his own words If he
chooses, If he has the word
"alter" or "ravel" he may, BY
drawing o "v' or q ct" respect
lively, make it travel.
No player can capture . word
in order to make a plural of it
By adding an IS" or other letter,
nor can he capture it in order to
make it into its own ~participle
by adding q 3D." or other letter.
He may, however, change it en-
tirely into another word By
adding an "s." II the word he
wants to capture is STAIN" and
he draws an "a" he cannot cap
ture 1t by making it stains" but
he may do so by making it
Saints" which is the plural Of
another word altogether. Let
tiers must either be used or DIS
carded to the center of the taLle.
The excitement begins with
the p%lundering Of words from
your fellow players. The in
genuity that adds class to thrill,
and wit to what would otherwise
be a mere indulgence Of the pred
atory instinct, il at q premium
When a player gets seven
words in front Of him, the others
60 into executive session, as a
committee Of the whole, to see
what can be done to avert his
possible triumph. II he has al
ready a group of unusual words
the job is difficult but never
impossible if the saving changes
can be thought of. If n of his
seven words can be snatched the
game is saved for the time being,
for after the seven words are
acquired, the players each have
a turn once around the table to
draw from the pool. If. in that
cycle, they have not succeeded
in capturing one of the seven
words, that player wins.
II is possible to place a pre-
MUM on points, counting each
letter to a point. The winner IL
paid by all the others, a stipu-
lated premium for every letter
before him in the seven words
This interests him in forming the
longest words possible with the
letters he draws.
A player Is allowed one minute
to act after drawing a letter,
after which time he must discard
the letter IL he cannot find a use
for IL. This game must move
swiftly rather than lapse into the
slow Flooding of chess.

had on il the twelve words you see here in which the writer, appar-

Although these twelve words express a complete thought In

RECREATiONAL PROGRAM
ENDORSED FOR CHURCH

A recreational program for the
North Redwood and Middle Greek
Evangelical churches was unanimous
ly endorsed by the official organiza-
ton of the Evangelical Church of the
Minnesota Conference in session last
Saturday evening at North Redwood
Evangelical church.
Rev. w. G. Schendel, the pastor,
stated that just as soon as the local
congregations endorse the same, work
will be started. The program will
include interesting features for every
age, from children to adults. Rev.
Schendel is a firm believer in a pro-
gram of play and playground work.
Speaking at length on the import
ance Of such work, Rev. E. F. Brand,
st. Paul, District Supt., of the Man
kato district, who was acting as chair
man, stated that work of this kind
has already been endorsed and recon-
mended by the Board of Religious
Education of the Evangelical Church.
"Too often said Rev. Brand, 1--WE
have said to our young people, You
as Christians, must do this or that
but we have failed to tell them just
what to do, and We have failed to
provide adequate play for them. The
program of organized play or the re-
creational program will tend to re-
lease all surplus energy."-Renville

FRANKLIN MERCHANT BITTEN
BY VICIOUS BANANA BUG"

About five o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon last week, P. C. Lund went
to the basement of his store and
brought up an armful of bananas. On
his way upstairs, he felt something
sting his hand, but paid no attention
to the matter. But as he placed the
fruit on the ecounter, huge taran-
tula species of venomous spider,
darted across the glass. It went a
distance and then executed military
about face and assumed a belligerent
pose. About this time Mr.. Lund be-
gan to realize what the sting in his
hand meant and a fly swatter came
down on the animal in no uncertain
manner.
Lund noticed by this slime that the
hand already had begun to swell ra-
pidly and rushed Immediately to DIR.
A. j. Kaufman who, when told what
had happened, wasted no time in
cutting out the infected portion OF
the hand.
The tarantula is large poisonous
spider, whose sting it is said will
cause death within a few hours un-
less preventative measures are TAX
en-. The tarantula may occasionally
be found in shipments of bananas. The
true tarantula is a large European
spider whose sting will cause stupor,
melancholy and an irresistible desire
to dance.-Franklin Tribune.

SHERIFF EMPTIES
GUN TO STOP THIEF

Frank Thomasser, 22-year-old ban
dit from Omaha, was arrested by
Sheriff Magnussen Of Jackson after a
thrilling automobile chase in which
the sheriff emptied his revolver into
the car of the fleeing bandit. One Of
the bullets struck the car of the fee
ing bandit and lodged in the back of
the seat. The bandit stopped the
car and with arms appraised submit
ted to arrest. This happened early
Wednesday morning.
Thomasser entered a Worthington
home early Wednesday morning, ran
sacked the house and loaded his booty
in the car of his victim and headed
east. The owner of the car awoke
just as the thief was driving away.
He jumped up and dressed in a hur-
ry and ran to the home of Sheriff
Rowe who called Sheriff Magnussen
Of Jackson to be on the lookout for
the thief.
Sheriff Magnussen ran to his car
and headed west. He met the stolen
car, turned around and gave chase.
The chase led back to Jackson,
through the town and east of jack
son he caught up with him. He pull
ed alongside of the fleeing bandit go
ing IS miles and hour and motioned
with his gun for him to stop, but
the bandit went all the faster. The
sheriff started to shoot and the band
it stopped.
When arrested the bandit told a
weird story of walking in his sleep
and when he awoke he found him
self in a strange home, so he decided
to take what he could and make his
getaway. Under the circumstances
under which he was caught he will
probably soon be in a place where
he can do all the sleep walking he
wishes without being able to steal,
says the Truman Tribune.

according to the Wells Mirror, for he

loosen it were in vain and he resorted
to screams which frightened the en-

employed in the light plant across
the street, also heard the screams and
investigated. He released Kenneth s
tightly frozen tongue by pouring
warm water on it. The lad is none
the worse for his narrowing expert
ence although he was unable to talk

KEEP YOUR AUTO
REGISTER CARD HANDY


Garry your automobile registra-
ton certificate in your pocket" is an
other suggestion made by Mr.. Brown.
Carrying the registration card is
not compulsory, and in ordinary cir
cumstances the card may never be
called for but in case of an acct
dent or if any question comes up as
to the ownership of the car or the
legality of the license plates, the re-
gistration card may be big help in
clearing the matters" he says. "Most
men have bill fold or card case in
which they carry some business card,
lodge card, union card, or other iden-
tification. They can carry the auto
mobile card in the same folder with
out losing or damaging it, and it may
save them in many delays"

GRAVE CAVED In;
DIGGER INJURED
w. ]. Stone, of Edgerton, Had
Rather Serious Experience
Early Last Week

Watson j. Stone, for many years
grave digger at the cemetery at Ed
gerton, had rather serious expert
ence last Tuesday.
Mr.. Stone on Monday began Dig
ging the grave for William Blocker,
aged resident of Edgerton, whose sui
eide was related in these columns
last week, but left the work to be
completed Tuesday morning
He went back about noon and re-
sumed digging, and when nearly fin
ished a great mass of dirt thoroughly
soaked from the heavy rain that
morning, caved in upon him, burying
him to the hips at the bottom of the
six foot excavation.
Mr.. Stones efforts to extricate
himself proved futile. He waved and
shouted but although many cars pass
ed the cemetery, he failed to attract
attention. One leg became cramped,
and the severe pain added to other
difficulties in his effort to dig himself
out.
After four long hours in this help
less predicament, the funeral party
arrived at the cemetery and the driv-
er of the hearse seeing the rough box
still on top of the ground thought
something was wrong. AS he drove
nearer he saw Mr.. Stone waving his
hands, but the man was then too ex-
hausted from his long struggle to
call for help. Pail bearers and hearse
driver worked for more than fifteen
minutes before the unfortunate man
was released, and his legs were then
so numb that it was sometime before
he could walk.
1t was found that the cavern had
exposed the casket of the late Mrs.
Blocker, mother of the man who was
to be buried that day, who at the age
of 101 years had passed away just
two months NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Coun-

Dayton Still Drunk in Precinct
Confession, Detective Asserts

to work for the Sun Life Insurance
Company about three weeks ago.
For a time he lived at the Chelsea
Inn, Eighteenth and H Streets
Northwest, moving to the H Street
address last week. His home is at
Alb Benton Boulevard, Kansas City,
Mo-, where his mother now lives.
His father is dead.
During the war he saw service
with a Missouri outfit which was
stationed in Texas. Beyond this,
the detectives were unable to learn
much about him early today.
While Lieut.. Morgan was at
tempting to question Dayton at the
station house, Miss Catherine O'Don-
NELL the dead girls sister with
whom she made her home appeared
at the hotel. Police, feeling SYM
pathy- for the sister, kept her from
the room where the body lay.
Miss O'Donnell left the hotel for
an unannounced destination. She
was sobbing as she left, but made
no outcry that would arouse per-
sons nearby, many of whom were
unaware that a murder had been
committed.
Coroner J. Ramsay hewitt viewed
the body and ordered it removed
to the Morgue. An autopsy will be
performed and an inquest held to-
morrow at 1880 a. M
