of Corvallis that be never dreamed
that they would not be on exhi

"I bad heard : so-much j of the

them over at the fair and buy
some seed. I have three boys on

I might raise some for them."

Oklahoma is a dynamite state
It has always been wild and wool

office. The other side can bold
its prestige only if It can control

AMBtDEXTROUS T03IMY
Tommy's talent was really f
sight
His left hand was - good, as , his
right;
He shouted with glee,
"Ambidextrous, that's me;"
And he scribbled wCth all of his
Tommy was "ambidextrous."
He bad Just looked the word up
in the dictionary and was almost
as proud to think that he knew
what it meant and how to pro
nounce it as he' was bf the fact
that he could use . one hand as
.well as he could the other.. . : ,'
."It's great to be ambidextrous,"
Tommy bragged as he changed
his pencil to bis left hand and
started writing with It for . a
while. "I sure am glad I can
write with both . hands. Here I
have been writing all day long,
and I never would have been able
to keep It up if I. weren't able to
change hands every little bit."
All day Tommy had been work
ing hard on a short story he was
writing for a contest. One of his
boys' magazines had offered a
prize for the best story accom
panying a new subscription. Tom
my bad always been ' clever at
writing, so he thought he9 would
trytfor theprUof"100. - J -
Mr. Dix came into the room
Just In time to hear Tommy's last
remark. "Well, I'd advise you to
sign all your Checks with your
right band,- he laughed, '
"Oh, sure," Tommy agreed. "I
know enough to do that." His
father had taken out a checking
account for, him. "I'm going to
write them all ' with " my . right
hand. , I, Just' wrote my first for
the subscription, to the maga
zine." "Tommy finished copying
bis story, folded it, and placed it
with the check in the large enve
lope he had bought for the purr
pose. ,.- .. .. ' -;
He was very . much excited for
the next week. - He knew he had
written a good story.' Every one
who had read It had praised it.
and. his teacher had told blm that
she was almost sure be would wia
the prize. . At the end of the week
Tommy received a Ions envelope
from the magazine office. Ila
was very much excited as be tore
It open.
.This is what Tommy read:
3 "Dear Sir Without a da alt
jrour story was the best one ta
tered In our Contest." However,
It is necessary to award the 1C0
to the second best,; with this ex
planation: Our experts on hand
writing have examined your
manuscript an2e they are all of
the same opinion. 1 The stcry was
not written by the same person
who signed the check. Of course
this was one of the rules of the
contest."
"Did I say It was great to ta
