THOUGHTFUL What noise was that I heard your room last night? That was me falling asleep. While w6rking on a log drive, a lumberman fell into the water. At last, dizzy and nearly exhausted, he managed to grasp a big log and hold onto it. The current was so strong and swift that it swept his body under the log until his feet stuck out on the other side. Just as a ^comrade, who had run to hi.s assistance, grabiied him by the shoulders, he caught sight of his own feet protruding on the other side of the log. "I can hold on a bit longer," he gasped. "Save the fellow who's in head first."â€" Ex. y A^^^'^J'o/fe KEKNEOrS '^^ for Fresher Groceries CATSUP, large size ^Qc Real Good TEA, out at 4i>c PEAS, CORN, TOMATOES, PORK & BEANS 3 for 25c MACCARONI, real fresh 4 lbs. 15c COOKIES fresh, assorted per lb. 15c SEEDLESS RAISINS fresh 2 lbs. 23c Contest on Robin Hood Flour closes Thursday p.m. Don't be late in putting in your guess.
