When a good horse swapper tells
you that he has made a bad trade,
you can be sure the tide which
taken at the flood leads on to for-
tune is at a low ebb and the wise
tiling for you to do is to take off
for home at once. Bud Furgerson
was on the tearful end of such a
story last week, declaring he trad-
ed a fine-looking horse for a no-
accOunt animal whose pitiful ap-
pearance caused a mix-up in his
sympathy and sense. Bud says the
animal he traded for is a good one
for the shape it is in, but that it is
like Steve Crockett’s horse—high
aplenty, but not wide enough. Bud
finally admitted, however, that
looks are not all there is to a horse
and confessed that the fine-feather-
ed animal he swapped off wore out
more single and double trees than
it did breast chains and yokes . . .

of the Deport High School, has been
awarded another trophy, according
to his fellow students, who hold
that honor should be recognized and
mettle accorded medal. This time,
however, the trophy was not won
by tournament prowess, but by
Bill’s ability to speak with equivo-
cation, to prevaricate promiscuous-
ly and without partiality. Bill’s
fellow-students think it odd that a
vivid imagination should go hand
in hand with so much vital energy,
but according to Munchhausen’s
own statement he, too, was not a
stranger to muscularity.

KITES
WIRES
A Dangerous Combination
v fc.
Dob
• Kite-flying is great sport for growing youngsters but danger lurks
when kites are flown near electric lines. Every year little lives are need-
lessly lost in accidents caused by the use of wire for kite strings, attempts
to retrieve kites entangled in electric lines and other hazardous practices.
BOYS and GIRLS-PLAY SAFE!
Follow These Safety Suggestions
1. Do not use wire or metallic kite string.
2. Do not fly your kite with wet string or in wet weather.
3. Do not use metal kite sticks.
4. Never try to rescue kites from electric wires by using long sticks
or climbing poles.
5. Never try to jerk your kite from an electric wire by pulling on
the tail or string.
6. Best of all, fly your kites in open fields clear away from electric
wires.
