Syndicate HEABD of all kinds of figure 1 men in mv dav. but nobody like Roaring Reggie. There was the dizzy dame at Belmont who looked over the nags in the stables and then cracked down her cherries on the bangtail with the dressiest mane. And, of course, there's plenty of bets on the hide carrying tie best looking rider. But this story is about Roaring Reggie and the system he worked out that would have worked all the time If, It would of, by which I mean Reggie would of made him a barrel of cherries If only. But to begin at the starting gate, there we was at the Whoosh oval, Beezer where goes. anything Bertie, Harry the Plnhead. Mudder We're looking McMork and me. over the field and keeping our hands In our pockets until we see something that will pry plenty. I am serious thinking what we're going to do to pic us very much more cherries when this Roaring Reggie comes up t us at a canter so happy that it hurts me to look at him. Seems like he's a friend of Mudder McMork's. but that don't mean he's somebody, because McMork knows anybody. Anyway, we listen to his spiel aecause It don't cost any cherries. And seems like this Reggie boy is a new kind of a dopesrter. He's got a system which is crazy enough to look good to Mudder McMork, who eats anything up even If it's spinach. After listening. I'm laughing all over, but in 1.35 flat McMork, who would be dumber if he was dead, sells the system to Harry the Plnhead and Beezer Bertie. What can't I do then? I can't do nothing because the odds are against me. Well, what Reggie Is roaring about is the positive payoff In a for maidens that Is due to go In a matter of minutes. The filly Reggie wants our cherries for is Susan Sevenup, who nobody ever heard of never. And this Is Reggie's system. He piles up all his cherries and plays em strictly on the color of the gallopers' coats. He has a fistful of facts and figures, but we ain't got time to digest them. Bertie, Harry and Mudder Is fighting to throw their cherries away on this Susan Sevenup, but I hold down the barrier while I asks this Reggie how can we lose? Which is the question I asks all tipsters, because If we can't lose, then I'm In. So Reggie shows me the dope where in fifty-fou- r races, bays win fVenty-sltimes, chestnuts are on the front end only fifteen times, brown two, and black just one time. Now, what makes it sweet Is that in this maiden the only bay Is Susan Seven-up- . "And she has to come In with the dinero," says Roaring Reggie, "because the rest of the maidens are all browns except for one black, which last will fall apart at the first turn." The only reason I have no stable of my own today Is because I am some of the people that Lincoln said you could fool all the time. Roaring Reggie convinced me, because by this time I want to be convinced. Especially when he relates as follows: "Because this filly' Is a stranger In the East," he says, "and she has a strong field against her, we can get fifty times over and over our money on her from a bookie what don't know any better than T One Year $2 Six Month f 1 IX ADVANCE) A First Clasa Publication Entered In the Poatofflce In Beaver, Utah, as Second Class Mail Matter, under the Act of SUBSCRIPTION RATES (PAYABLE Congress of March 3, 1879.

He never knows just how far into the heart of his community his thoughts and ef forts penetrate. During the past few weeks I have received many visitors and callers. Mrs. Carlton has been kept real busy answering the telephone inquiries that have come in at frequent intervals. It has surely done my heart good to be remembered by so many friends. And I must admit, and I do it with open heart, that I have never called on our doctor at any time, whether it be day or night, that he has not responded to the call, as readily as possible and discharged his duty m the best possible manner. Mrs. Carlton is in charge of the office, and she has found, on every hand, people willing to with her. The local merchants, that we have had occasion to do business with, have been very considerate in the matter of preparing copy for their advertisements, and many other courtesies have been extended thru co-oper- ate , C, MeClure Nowspatwr them. Our correspondents in our community and sur rounding towns are by mailing in their items so they may reach the office by no later than luesday noon. to-operati- ng During the past few weeks I have been able to enlist the services of Jane Mumford. She needs no introduction to the people of this community. She has been so kind as to help in the time of need, and I hope that she may be persuaded to carry on with her present work indefinitely. She had experience with The Press many years ago. Her work was greatly appreciated. Mrs. Mary Goodwin, our regular correspondent, is not able to get, out among the people as yet. But she is very active, and you cannot hold her down. She has a telephone and knows how to use it. Just call her and report your items. She is one of our most faithful helpers. And don't forget we will accept news items at The Press office, but we make these exceptions: If there is a party, a recital, a legal, or any type of article that requires a group of names or description, the material should be handed in in writmg. And all news of the past week, that has happened from Friday to Tuesday should reach the office before Wednesday at 4 p. m. of each week. Any items that reach this office after that hour will be held over until next week. Remember, this paper is your paper, and what may not be news to you probably is live stuff to yie other folks.

Why "Sanctions" Meaning Has Puzzled Many People "Why are they tailed 'sanctions'?" Is a question that lias been on every one's lips for some time, notes a writer In Answers Magazine. The word "sanction." as most people use It, means something quite different to what It signifies at Geneva and In the capitals of Europe. We talk about doing things with the sanction of some one, meaning that we have obtained this person's permission or approval. But Geneva hasn't taken an old word and given it a new meaning. "Sanction" is a definite legal term, and In Jurisprudence It means the specific penalty enacted In order to enforce obedience to a law. It has been used In this sense for 300 years. So we find Lord Macaulay writing: "The fear of death Is the most formidable sanction which legislators have been able to devise." Before the League of Nations, many experts argued that what was called "international law" lacked the true character of law, because there were no "sanctions" attached to It The rovenant of the league altered that, and the measures to be taken In the event of a breach of the covenant are thus, quite properly, called "sanctions," Why the Word "Boondoggle" The word "boondoggle" has been applied recently to recreational activities intended to bolster the morale of persons on relief, by such methods as dancing, etc. One account of its origin attributes It to a scoutmaster of Rochester, N. Y Robert H. Link, who in 1927 invented it for a woven scout braid or lanyard of many colors. Another account makes It an old term used In the Ozark mountain region and derived from Daniel Boone's dog. Still another explanation traces it to "boon" or gift, and a Scotch word "doggie" for marble. Detroit News. map-makin- Uncommon Sense 1" -ml BLAKE JOHN By .
