I’.— j(U.R) Van Dycke Tiers, three years, , lo months and 19 days old, glanced jup from his breakfast today and discovered that the public is inter, jested in child prodigies. Van Dycke hud be- n revealed by jthe I'nited Press as an unusually : bright boy. He knows considerable arithmetic, the Greek alphabet, the names of every country in i the world and Its capital, the nidij merits of geometry and Many other things. I His parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. W.

Van Dycke’s first appointment . j today was with a camera man for : a picture syndicate. His photo- ; graph was to be taken in various j posi s. One was to show him standing b fore maps, which adorn the [Tiers' library, with a pointer in j his hand. . The maps ere one of Van Dycke’s greatest sources of amusement and recreation. He can point to any country and name its capital, riv- , ers, mountain rang l s, chief produce and famous men. His greatest asset as a child marvel, however, is his ability to spell such words as chrysanthe- ; mum and C echo Slovakia. Also ihe can count up to 1,000,000 by i hundreds, and will do so on the slightest provocation. Auction School Notes i Col.

ZHoiv to play Bridge /«!> AUCTION w WKjJ*/ CONTRACT / 4 Wynne Ferguson I Author of •PRACTICAL AUCTION BEU DOE’ Copyright, IVJO, by Hujle, Jr. ARTICLE No. 9

Here is a recent description of Auction Bridge that is well worthy of quoting: “Auction is the finest card game that ever was devised for the delight of mankind. It is also highly educational, giving the best of training to the faculties of memory, observation, and logical deduction, besides developing the imagination and teaching practical psychology." In that connection the following story is very much to the point: "Leaving one of the largest Bridge dubs in the country the other day with two friends who had lost heavily, 1 heard one of them say:

Y should now lead the jack of clubs. B must trump this or Z will take a heart discard and can then only lose one heart trick. When B trumps, Z should overtrump, thus winning the trick.

“ ‘I wish I had never learned to play this darn game.' “The other player said: 'I wish that I had.’ ” The second speaker was right, of course Why not learn to play better Bridge? If you really try, you can improve your game; but there's no royal road to learning. The more you give in study and thought to the game, the more it will give to you in pleasure and mental development. It will also pay mighty good cash dividends. A careful study of the following end plays is one way to improve an important part of your game, so take full advantage of the opiwrtunity.

Note that if Z leads any card at trick three other than the sex en of hearts, A B will win two tricks. Fot example, suppose Z leads the nine ol hearts. A should play the queen and Y can either win or refuse to win the trick. If he wins it, he must lead a heart and A B must win two tricks. If he refuses to win it, A should lead a heart and B must thus win a heart trick with the jack.

SAYS BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD W. A. KI epper Relieves 1931 Will Show Improvement Over 1930 Speaking on the outlook for bus-in-ess during 19.31, W. A. Kleppcr, general manager of the Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., spoke very optimistically about the future. Mr. Klepper stated: "The question is often asked the writer, “how Is business?” especially during these times of depression. We are happy to say that the Cloverleaf Creamer!- s have been working full time and a great deal of overtime In order to supply the orders for the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company. This community as well as the rural community, from whom we buy the raw material, are very fortunate that the A. & P. Tea Company is favoring us with orders which enables us to keep our plants operating full time as well as some overtime "it is true that the value of butter has declined as well as other commodities, and the producer of today is not getting as much for his butter fat on a low market as he did on a high market, but a number of producers have told us that they are thankful that they have a cash return on their produce, which is not as favorable with their other crops. Th» year of 1931, we believe, is going to be a great ini pro vein nt over 1930, and we have every ri ason to believe that the value of butter fat will gradually increase. "As manufacturers, we supply practically all ths stores in this territory with Cloverleaf Brand butter, and as our plants manufacture a good many million pounds, we are very fortunate that we are selling the largest amount of our butter to the A. & P. Tea Company which has always demanded the very finest quality, and we in turn have always been paid promptly at a fair return so we are able to build up our business which in turn is helpful to this community as well as the producers.” o TOCSIN NEWS

THE NEW FORD Everything you want or need in a motor ear THE more you see of the new Ford, the more you realize that it brings you everything you want or need in a motor car. . . . And at an unusually low price. Its substantial beauty of line and color is apparent at a glance. Long, continuous service emphasizes the value of its simplicity of design and the high quality that has been built into every part. The new Ford accelerates quickly and it will do 55 to 65 miles an hour. It is an easy-riding car because of its specially designed springs and four Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers. It has fully enclosed four-wheel brakes and the added safety of a Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield. Operation and up-keep costs are low and it has the stamina and reliability that mean thousands of miles of uninterrupted service. See the nearest dealer and have him give you a demonstration ride in the new Ford. Check up every point that goes to make a good automobile and you will know it is a value far above the price. ~ M The Nf ' w Ford Tudor JML 1 A_ ■ LOW PRICES OF FORD CARS M 35 to *660 F. O. B.
