of Ohio One dnv when Uie Poe
brothers were leading a imrty oo the
trait of a band of Indiatia who had
raided the settlement ihey left thrfr
men to try to locate the savages The
brothers beonme separated On the
bank of a river Andrew 'cauie upon a
Slant VYyamloi chief and a smaller
Indian who were standing with their
rifles cocked but hulking in autdher
direction
Poe’s rifle missed fire when he shot
at the chief and the Indians at ohee
discovered biro Before they could
shoot the acom sprang upon them
seizing hotli around the neck The
small Indltiu jerked louse first and
while the chief held Poe fils com-
panion tried to get lo a death blow
with his tomahawk Andrew allowed
him to come close Then with one
oiighty kick he lUunted bis foot in the
Indian’s stomach hurling film back-
ward and knocking the hatchet from
hts hand
When the little ludiM£ got his breath
back and recovered his tomahawk he
advanced to the attack ugain and suc-
ceeded in wounding Poe in the arm
A seemid Inter the scout pulled him-
self from the grasp of the chief seised
one of the Indians guns and shot the
warrior as lit advanced to attack him
a thud time Poe was no longer fight-
ing against odds nud he immediately
attacked the chief
The ground was wet and slippery
In nuother moment the Indian and the
white man locked in each other’s
both thought of the one loaded rifle on
the shore and both sturted to swim to
get It The Indian was the better
swimmer and reached the hank first
As the chief picked tip the gun Poe
turfied back In the water and Ivegan
diving to avoid a bullet The chief
however had picked up an empty gun
the one with which Andrew had killed
the little Indian and liefore the Wyan-
dot could got the loaded weapon
he soon will lx the' Adam he who had heard the shot’
this section of the came running ta his brother’s rescue
magazine for his own enjoyment
Poteet’s new home is the first im-
provement that has been made on the
“worthless” land which he took off a
friend’s hands so the latter would not
have to continue to pay taxes on it
With the five wells flowing rapid-
ly Poteet’s income 3s increasing at
such a rate that Simpson county
residents say
richest man in
state News of his wealth has been'
spread broadcast and he is being
swamped with letters requesting do-

but lose their accommodating “dinky’’
services
The “pilots” of the dinky cars al-
ways tried to accommodate the pat-
rons and residents of the two sec-
tions How accommodating was in-
dicator! some weeks egj when the
motor-man on the Vickery Piii' car
stopped when he saw two men strug-
gling vKh a telephone pnie permitted
them to “hitch’ the po'e to the car
and dragged it several blocks to the
place it was neehd Similar acts of
helnfu’ncs were frequ-n
The dinky lines were built and for1
a long time operated bv the re'1

Choice Cuts
—and Others
I te
M-A'sA
A few months ago
newspaper man visited
one of the wholesale mar-
kets of Swift & Company
He wanted to see a re
tailer buy a short loin of
beef and then watch the
retailer sell the porter-
house and sirloin steaks
from it over his counter
He thought this would
make a good story
The head of the market
took the reporter into
the “cooler where he
showed him a high class
side of beef With a
wooden skewer he marked
off the short loin and
said “That is only 8 per
cent of the weight of the
whole side and it is selling
for four times as much
as this piece (and he
marked off the “chuck’
which is about one-fourth
of the side of beef)
The wide variation in the wholesale price of vanoui
cuts from the same side of beef is caused largely by
demand for the so-called choicer cuts The others are of
course just as wholesome
It sterns as though more people than ever are
demanding choicer cuts and their demand sets the price
If few people ask for the forequarter cuts the price of
forequarters will automatically drop to a figure low
enough to induce people to buy because of cheapness
' Even though certain cuts sell for relatively high
prices other cuts due to lack of demand sell so low that
our profit from all sources over a period of five years
averaged only a fraction of a cent a pound
It is competition between consumers for the choice
cuts that keeps p ices for those cuts relatively high an
equalizing demand for all parts of the carcass would
benefit producer packer retailer and consumer
Our average wholesale selling price of all products
has fallen about 40 per cent since September 1920
