Some member of the club will be on hand at Hoff man’s from 9 to 6 each day of next week and till 9 o’clock Sat urday evening. • Contributions are to be en tirely voluntary during the week of the drive and as the demand on the chest this year will pro bably be very heavy, everyone is urged to contribute something.

Cases are carefully in vestigated by the community chest board, and anyone knowing of such cases should report them to the board. The first drive was held last year and proved a great suc- cess and it is hoped that this year's drive will be as great a success. Th< committee from the Study S club n charge of the chest drive consists of Mrs. W. E. P Bell, Mrs. E. E. Yeo and Mrs. . H. Holcomb. NUMBER 9. Sidney Baker Kills 400 Pound Black Bear Man Kills Cougar Charging from Brush TREHARNE — (Special)— A black bear was killed by Sidney Baker Monday. It measured six feet from tip to tip and weighed about 400 pounds. A cougar, seven feet six in ches in length and weighing 137 pounds, was killed by Lawrence Gudge, of Cochran, on Tuesday, September 23. According to Mr. Gudge, he was hunting six miles from Coch rane, in the vicinity of Camp 8, when he came upon the cougar stalking a doe and a fawn, He fired at the cougar and it dis- appeared in the brush. Mr. Gudge toop up the pursuit and the cougar, seeing him, turned and attacked him. It took three shots to stop the cougar, the last shot going through its head. It was thought the cougar might have a mate somewhere near and several men were out Tuesday evening hunting for trace of it. The cougar was judged by Mr. White of the Wheeler Log ging company to be about sev- en or eight years old. SET FIRE TO GARAGE Some children playing in C. G.
