Al Richardson made the lucky guess and won a diamond ring at Sheldon’s. The guess was on the number of grains of corn that a rooster kept in the store window for a week or two would eat within an hour. The number was 456, and Al Richardson guessed the exact number. The guesses ran all the way from one to 6,000.

Harry Rogers did a nice thing in giving a free Christmas show for children last Thursday afternoon. The film was a beautiful Christmas presentation, excellent in tone, and was greatly enjoyed not only by the children but also by the adults who saw it.
