awii'im1 w)m mil ii ii m. vvmrj T Miss Maggie Glaze Has Thrilling Experience Miss Maggie Glaze had a thrilling experience while visiting at Post recently. While in the yard at the home of George Ray she heard a noise like the sound of a mower and looked all around io see who was cutting hay. She couldn't see anyone but continued to hear the buzzing sound. , She happened to look down at the ground and was horrified to see a big rattlesnake crawl out from underneath her skirts. How she escaped the fangs of the reptile is a mystery. It is said that August is a blind month for rattlers and this may account for her escape. Funny Cartoon in Motion Pictures Next Saturday the Lyric will ex hibit an excrutiatinglv funny ani mated cartoon picture in which drawings apparently come to life and do all sorts of things in a per fectly human or unhuman manner.

First he hatches an ostrich egg, is saved from a hungry bear by a sleeping porcupine, is chased by an angry tiger, which he slays in a novel way, overcomes another bear by getting him drunk,' is persecuted by a frolicsome monkey, and finally leaves the desert triumphant, hav ing killed a regular menageria, all at one snoi. uniy two other car toons of this character have ever been shown here and they both won instant approval, so much can be expected of "Col.

Prineville People Help Corral Forest Fire Belknap Springs was the scene of . a lively forest fire one day last week. A couple of little boys amused themselves for a time by shooting matches from an air gun Before they realized it a terrific old forest fire was under way. Camp ers saw great volumes of fire and smoke roaring up the mountain side and in a jiffy fire fighters were on the job. D. F. Stewart, Jesse Yancey, G. M. Cornett and .other Prineville men and women were rendering every assistance to keep the fire in check until the forest rangers could get there- After several hours of hard work the fire was got under control. The know ing how to fight a fire prevented serious loss to Uncle Sam. The most remarkable thing about the whole matter was the fact that al most in an instant the mountain side was enveloped in flames. The sight was a good object lesson to campers. All of them will be more! careful of their campfires. For your Fishing Tackle go to J. E. Stewart & Co.
