The last meeting of the grange
was featured by rather an out OF
the ordinary program. 1t was a
popularity contest and the members
were divided into three groups, and
each group competed in various
ways, such as marching, acting,
singing, whistling, laughing, etc, to
see which would get the highest
score. The county agent, Mr..
Brown, was present, and acted as
the judge. Some are expecting to

enough to receive one of those get

mailing five letters and sending
some person living in Denver, Col,
a dime and then await patiently for
our turn of the sweepstakes. What
made it somewhat alluring to us
was that the letter was from a
friend in Kansas, whom We knew
and had always placed implicit
confidence in. We figured that it
would soon come to an end, and
some victims, would be left hold
ing the sack. ASIDE from homes
around here, there was at one time
a tenant house on nearly every

sheep for sport, now have sons and
daughters who ride bicycles, and
even more,-drive automobiles.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S
APPLE BUTTER

Just made. Spread it on your bread,
even if you have no regular butter
for it. And I'll soon send you some
of that, too" Then some poor little
mice children, as Buster and Custer
could see, began having a fine feast.
How they nibbled the bread and
apple butter. Their mother had
some too.
Then Uncle Wiggily, leaving the
jar, came outside. He was a little
surprised to see Buster and Custer,
but he smiled and said:
To-day when I was in the woods
I passed this poor little mouse house.
I heard the children saying how they
had nothing but dried bread to eat.
So when got home and found Nurse
Jane had so much apple butter 1
just brought some here. wanted to
do a kind deed
Then Buster and Custer knew it
was that their father had said as
he hoped away and not what they
thought-that he was going after
his hind feet. So it all ended most
happily And if the ham sandwich
doesn't run away and leave the cup
of coffee in the ice box, III tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and the

The movies have developed sud-

not always a question of political
faith. Sometimes it becomes relig-

automobile was recently shown with
a closeup of the Roosevelt boys.
Kissing and jeers were shockingly

successful season in the wilds of

Elk, deer, bear and moose have
fallen to the hunters guns and
great number of them have been
shipped out of the state.
Stations IN the big game country
where animals being shipped from
the state are checked, report near
record kill.
A recent survey of the stations re-
vealed that approximately 500 elk, SO
moose, l9 bear and deer, had been
shipped.
Taxidermists report that the tro-
phies have been shipped to all parts
of the United States.
One elk head, a regal eight-point
bull will be hung in the American
National Museum in New York City.
The animal was killed by Betty Har-
riman, daughter OF E. Rowland Har-
riman, chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the Union Pacific rail-
road. The head is one of the best
specimens ever taken in the jackson
Hole big game country.
Hartman and his party spent
about 80 days stalking big game.
Phlllis Hartman, another daughter,
shot bear and also killed an elk.
Every member of the party was sue

MOST FASHIONABLE
WOMEN

Famous Paris dressmakers, in a poll
this week, selected the Duchess of Kent
as the most fashionable woman in the
world, with the former Princess Marina
Of Greece heading a list of the worlds
u "best dressed" women.
Perhaps they should have labeled their
selection as the most fashionable or best
dressed of the worlds famous women.
IN the offices and stores of the United
Sta 1es are the most fashionable women.
Their names are not known to many out
side their own spall circles, they idealize
the famous women who are dubbed most
fashionable" but in their own chic per-
sons is personified fashion.

from which to select one most fashion,

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 70. U.P)-The
bang-tails are getting ready to run
out here again and Hollywood's
horsy set is working its pencils to
stubs over form charts, anticipating
the opening of the Santa Anita
track on Christmas day.
Two years ago. betting on race
horses was illegal in California and
any newspaper with the temerity to
print form charts was hailed into
court. The citizenry corrected this
matter, giving free-spenders of the
film lots a chance to shove pay
checks through pari-mutuel win
doWS.
The proper move, of course, is for
some -Hollywooder to get horse to
win the $112,500 Santa Anita handi-
cap, to be run Feb. %. A suggestion
that Bing Crosby's Zombie or Spen-
Ger Tracy's Troubador could turn
the trick would bring you a room in
nut house.
Makes Offer
A prominent producer offered
S45, 900 in real money for King Sax
ton, conceded to have q chance for
the worlds richest stake race, even
though he will be running against
Cavalcade, Discovery, Singing Wood
and Ladysman.
Crosby recently purchased string
of yearlings at Saratoga. They are
in training at his Rancho Santa Fe
estate to make their debut after
Jan. l. Joe E. Brown also is building
string. His Captain Argo won a
$4,000 stake race last year, then
promptly died. Joe, however, pocket
ed $500 in insurance.
Constance Bennett had a two
year-old rattlebrain, but sold him
at the close of the season. She may
take the bankroll out of her stock
ing for another nag or two.
Clark Gable, David Butler, Leon
Gordon, Raoul Walsh and John
Cromwell probably will be represent
ed at Santa Anita this winter Ethel
Hill. a screen writer, has entered De-
liberate, a two-year old with five
victories on eastern tracks. Mae
Vests brother -in-law has five hay
burners galloping at Tanforan.
Santa Anita, OF course, is the pride
and Joy of Hollywood, for Hal Roach
the producer, is president, and Cros-
by, Joe E. Brown and w. S. Van
Dyke are stockholders The list OF
members is a typical who's Who
of filmdom.
The old expression, ''it takes mo-
ney to make the horses run" prob
ably explains the activity of film
folk in the racing game. They have
the money, the interest and, some
times, the acumen to make the
hobby pay.

Baby Bunty, the little orphan rab-
bit, almost dropped her slice of
bread and apple butter, she was so
surprised. What surprised Bunty
was seeing ''Unkie Wig" as she call
ed him, hopping out of the Hollow
Stump Bungalow with big jar of
Nurse James apple butter under one
paw.
"Unkie Wigl Unkie Wig Come
back! Come back" cried Bunty.
Never turning his head, Mr. Long
ears answered something.
What did he say?" asked Nurse
Jane.
He said he was going after his
hind feet, I think, answered Jingle,
who, with her twin sister Jangle
also was eating apple butter and
bread.
What's that?" asked Mrs Long
ears, hopping into the kitchen just
then. Where did Wiggy go?"
i think" said Buster, he said he
was going TO show US some fine
speed-you know, hop fast"
But why should he take a jar OF
my apple butter if he just wanted to
show off-let you see how fast he
could hop?" asked Nurse Jane. IT
just doesn't make sense"
oh, you never can tell what Wig
gy is going to do" said the rabbit
gentlemans wife. He's never SEN
sible very long at time. But how
did it happen?"
Then Nurse Jane and the children
rabbits told how they had come home
from school and were trying some OF

EXPLORING THE
STRATOSPHERE

The achievements of aerial scientists
who scared above the clouds yesterday
to set an altitude record never before
equalled by man cannot be regarded as
in the nature of stunt. There was
deadly earnestness behind the ascension,
and danger, too. Captain Albert w.
Stevens and Captain Orval A. Anderson
were exploring new frontiers as fascin-
ating as any conquered by the old from
tiersmen.
Upon the records of their flight and
the conditions met by their balloon, taken
together with similar records made in
other flights, may be constructed data
which will make possible the early use
of sub-stratosphere for heavier-than-air
craft carrying passengers and mail.
What other achievements may be the re-
suit of their findings remains TO be seen.
There are things the world regards as
impossible today which may be proven,
like many which were thought impossible
only few years ago, to be quite likely.
Man has followed his imagination
through many conquests. Dreams have
been made into fact.
Such achievements as those of the
stratosphere balloonists are of this kind.

to their father-that is. they almost
did. But, all of a sudden, they saw

ter, down inside an old hollow tree
house in the woods.

whispered Buster.

As the two rabbit boys reached
the old hollow tree house they heard
their father, who was inside, saying.
