ALVA OYLER’S FARM, Nov. 14.—
Carl Carlson, from Iowa, wheree the
tall corn grows, sped down a muddy
lane Tuesday to win the 13th annual
national comhusking championship at
Aiva. Oyler's farm in Licking County,
Ohio.
One hundred thousand persona
cheered the 38-year-old farmer, whose
brother was the 1935 champion.
There were IS contestants on this
windy day that was so cold' that Alva
Ovler’s cows sought shelter behind
the barn while his pigs rooted in the
soil seeking warmth.
Despite the chilly wind, Carlson
was clad only in white duck pants, a
running shirt and dices when the con-
testants lined up in front of the
double rows of corn.
Automobiles filled 25 parking lots,
every road leading to the farm had
been churned into mud by thousands
of wheels. Police mounted on mule?
patrolled the farm for pickpockets.
Farm women served coffee and
sandwiches from a dozen concession
teiits.
Brilliant flags were at the ends of
the corn rows and the contestants
waited tensely for the starting gun.
When it sonded, they started down
the rows, husking better than an ear
a second.
Behind each husker came a wagon
carrying the ‘bang board.” Each time
a husker pulled an ear of corn from
the stalk he threw it against the
Hunter Recalls
Days When Deer
Were Plentiful
SAN SABA, Texas, Nov. 14.—Many
hunters await with itching trigger
finger the opening of the Jeer sea-
son. November 16, but to Thomas N.
Ward, Colemani County landowner, it
is no novelty, although he intends to
be among the first-day hunters.
He recalls that his first deer hunt
was about 50 years ago and that he
has hunted annually since then.
He says his most productive hunt
was in the fall and early winter of
1907 when the bag limit for each
hunter was .six deer. The party of
five, he says, returned the day before
Christmas with 29 bucks, killed in
and around the Big Paint country in
Edwards and adjacent counties.

T~k ETTER health is only one of the extra
_D savings of gas circulated heat. Many
men who have already installed this ad-
vanced heat tell us their families are hap-
pier, healthier and more comfortable. For
men in moderate circumstances who want
their families protected against the discom-
fort of inadequate house heating, gas circu-
lated heat offers comfort at a price they can
afford. It is healthful heat because it is cir-
culated. It knocks cold spots and drives out
chilling drafts. It maintains an even temper-
ature. It is clean and care-free. You can
afford it because of low installation cost and
cheapness of your natural gas service. In-
vestigate gas circulated heat today.
Compare gas-circulating beat with
any other system. You can beat with
gas for no more cost than other
fuels. There is a circulating heater
to fit practically every need. And
one can be installed on the easiest
kind of terms.

of L. & A. Engine
SHREVEPORT, La., Nov. 9.—
Clambering aboard a Louisiana & Ar-
kansas Railway engine when it stop-
ped in the yards at Minden Monday
night, a score of men and women
armed with sticks attacked the fire-
man and engineer and severely beat
them, according to Sheriff O. H.
Yaynes of Webster Parish.
The engine had stopped at the
south end of the yards and, in the
dark, the group . got to the cab so
quickly that the attempt of Engineer
H. E. Cole and Fireman C. H. Wal-
ters to fleei failed.
None of the members of the at-
tacking party was identified, the
sheriff said.
“It was dark and everyone was
gone when we got there,” he said.
