 The four combinations given be- low comprise the most advantag- eous opening leads against a suit declaration. In each case the top card of a sequence should be led, except with the AK or A-K-Q combination, in which cases the K should be led.

 Practically every other lead against a suit declaration Is one that has few. if any, advantages. It would, therefore, be better to lead fourth best from a weak suit of four or more cards in preference to leading from any tenace hold inys.

PINE PHILOSOPHY
By the PINE PHILOSOPHER

Cheer up. There are signs of a
slump in the depression. The slogan
was, What the country needs is a
good five cent cigar" Now, don't any
body say it backwards.
When we were children, the old
time preachers preached hell fire and
eternal punishment. Some renegade
laughed, then some of the rest of us
began to wonder. Now the old theory
is whipped and the new slogan is a
God of Love. When we get to point
where we can laugh at any fear or
condition, we have that fear beaten.
In a short time we will be laughing at
old man Depp and then, powee, sun
shine and good business again. My
only advice is make hay while every
thing is on the up grade.
Chicks were cheap this spring, feed
Now there is no depression in the
chicken game. Feed is still cheap
and try to buy yourself dozen of
eggs. Goody, goody.
Applause brings out the best that
is in us. If you don't believe it visit
a vaudeville bill in st. Paul and then
see the same bill in Minneapolis. You
will see the actors at their best in
the Flour City because the audience
is much more responsive there. The
retort brutal in Orpheum time among
actors is: "If you think you are funny,
go to st. Paul."
The United States paper consump-
ton per capita is one hundred and
eighty pounds. In Great Britain it is
less than ninety pounds. Then think
of all the time and typewriter ribbon
we waste putting this stuff on it.
How to keep from dying young. Keep
your tail light lit; keep your head
lights lit,-and don't get lit yourself.
Did you notice Abe Martins ad-
100000 good used farms.

THE ASSEMBLY HALL AGAIN!

The building is going up fast now.
We still need a crew of five or six
men day for a few weeks. When
we started most people said that they
would help us the latter part of the
week or the first part of the next
week. Many have been saying that
ever since, and it is now nearly three
weeks since we started. The ground
is frozen, so now there should be no
excuse to offer, for not coming in to
help us. Call Carl Larsen, Andrew
Henriksen, or myself and let us know
how many days you can help, and
when it will be most convenient. We
will see that you get a job. Helping
the carpenters is the line of work now
going on.
Those wishing to serve coffee can
see Mrs. Byron Olsen, or put their
name on the list at the bank.

"I'l do it," said The Cid "Bohar,

come on deck and any Of our men

that the prisoners get the same ra-

TT was with a feeling of relief that
L amounted almost to happiness
that Tanar saw Bohar depart to
carry out the orders Of The Cid.
Presently The Cid went to his cabin
and Tanar, left to his own devices,
walked to the stern and, leaning on
the rail, gazed into the hay up
curving distance.
Far astern a small boat rose and
fell with great, long pillows. But

ened to know that lis emperor was
risking his life to save him.
AS he gazed and dreamed, he be-
came conscious Of e. -J-esence near
him, but he did not turn, for who
was there upon that ship who might
have access to this upper deck,
whom he might care to speak with?
Presently he heard voice at his
elbow, a low, golden voice that
brought him around facing its
owner. 1t was the girl.

your own country" she said.

said, a note Of sadness in her voice.

"I would not speak Of that too
often" she said. 1.-THE tenpers of
the Korsars are short and they love
to kill"
''Why do you not kill me then?'
he demanded. "You have a knife
and pistol in your sash, like the
others"
Perhaps you are not Korsar,"
he exclaimed. "You were captured
as I was and are a prisoner"
II am no prisoner" she replied.
"But you are not a Korsar," he
insisted.
ASK the Cid-he doubtless will
cutlass you for your inpertinence;
but why do you think that am not

RECORD IN DRY
ARRESTS NEAR
by International

Arrests for violation of the
deral prohibition laws may
pass the 100000 mark during
the fiscal year ending June 80
setting up a new record since
the adoption of the Eighteenth
Amendment, Prohibition Commits
sioner Amos w. w. Woodcock
said today.
Figures issued by the dry bu-
reau showed that for the first
II months of the fiscal year
there were 56,157 cases lin which
arrests were made"
While these figures had been
interpreted to reflect the mum.
Der of arrests, WOodcock ex.
planned that in many cases a
considerable number of persons
were apprehended. Records have
not been issued as to the mum.
Der of individuals apprehended
for violations, he said.
AOHScE jail sentences
Average Jail sentences passed
on prohibition violators steadily
increased during the year and
had reached 2435 days in May,
as compared with 1925 days for
the II months. The average Jail
sentence increased "a days dur
ing May as compared with April.
while there was a decline in the
average fine to $150.46 in May
as compared with $151.28 for the
II months.
Woodcock said:
"The heavier Jail sentences
indicates the Prohibition Bureau
is arriving at its goal of reach
ing the more serious ViOlatOrs
of the law, resulting in more
severe penalties by the courts"
Fewer Cases Quashed
Woodcock anticipated a sub
Stantial reduction in the number
of prohibition cases thrown out
of court this year, indicating,
greater efficiency in preparation.
He also was impressed with the
reduction in the number of cases
on Federal court dockets during
the present year. June 80, 1880
there were pending 22,745 Grim.
inal cases and on May 81, 20,115.
Out of the 56,157 cases in
which arrests were made, 5O,526
were placed on court dockets dur.

a small percentage only had been
set aside for faulty preparation,
