A residence, completely furnished t apparently vacant, was totally »stroyed by fire early this morn'ng st outside the city limits on Mc-- ree road, about a mile and a half rth of Grand avenue.

The origin, like If Z bids one no trump with this hand, his chances of going game are very slight. He has only one otoiper in three suits; and the fourth suit, hearts, is far from being set up. On the other hand, a bid of one heart offers much better chance for game. Such a bid eliminates the chance of a lorg suit making ; ahr:i":jwo o; three tricks in the ner's make game very possi-- E'.'Gane also is posu':l: ever though partner holds only two or three hearts; therefore the proper bid with Z's hand undoubtedly is one heart.

FORMER RESIDENT OF LAKE GOUNTY DIES IN RAGINE GRAYSLAKE VETS INSTALL OFFICERS _ C€harles Kapschull of Deerfield, county commander, acted as instali-- ing officer Alvy Gibson, Who Formerly Resided Near Zion is Tak-- en by Death. Alvy Gibson, rormer resident of Lake county and who owned a farm three miles northwest of Zion for many years, passed away in the St. Mary's hospital at Racine Tuesday evening, following a short iliness. The deceased was born at Coben, Ontarto, Canada, December 29, 1864, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Gibson. He spent his early life in Canada and received his edu-- cation there. At the age of 21 years he left Canada and took up a home-- stead at Brinsmade, N. D. He de-- veloped and farmed this land until 1914, when he moved to the farm near Zion. Four years ago he moved to the township of Raymond, Racine coun-- ty, Wis., where he continued farm-- ing until he became ill. He was well known in Lake county and Racine county and was much admired and respected by all who knew him. On October 21, 1894, he was unit-- ed in marriage to Miss Jenule Abra-- bamson. He is survived by his wifo and two sons and four daughters, Mark Gibson and Robert Gibson at home, Mrs. Walter J. Connell of Wauwatosa, Wis.; Mrs. Wenzel Con-- nell of \Kenosha, Mrs. Clarence Hamme of Milwaukee and Miss Ethel CGibson of Milwaukee. He is also survived by seven gragdchil-- dreéen and onge brother, Isaac Gibson in Alberta, Canada. Funeral services will be held Fri-- day afternoon from the home in Racine county.

How should Z plan the play from now on so as to be sure of game, irrespective of the position of the cards and of his opponents' %l:v? An analysis of this interesting hand will be given in the next article. In this particular hand, as a matter ¢f fact, two old only were scored at no trump, while at spades or diamends it was pcssible to make five odd. Bbe on the lockou*t for hands of this type and don't let 100 aces infuence you to make La unsound no trump bid. »pponent or by partner, Z should show the diamond suit. bi(i in this way, Y Z should score a sure game; while at no trump, with a club oer opening, game is not at all sure. _ * Here is a hand of unusual strength, and yet one of such unbalanced distri-- bution that it does not warrant a no trump bid. With two suits, each of five cards or more, the player always should prefer the suit bid to the noa trump. In this case, therefore, Z's proper bid is one syade; and then, if o_vergeiq by an )eries 1929-- 30 by Wynne Ferguson No score, rubber game.

SMALL DISPOSES OF DAIRY HEARD The dispersal sale of purebred registered Holstein cattle on the Len Small & Son 4dairy farm west of Kankakee this week attracted a large crowd. Several thousand peo-- ple, including dairymen from all parts of Illinois and Indiana, were in attendance. While prices were not quite as high as expected, con-- sidering the quality of the stock and the fact that the herd is tuberculine tested and accredited, yet the sale Sta Jenkins confessed to breaking into the railway station at Munde lein a month ago where he got $37 in supplies from the depot. Yester-- day he pleaded @uilty to larceny before Circuit Judge Claire C.
