COONING IN DELAWARE. 
Jack and I drove to the branch to try 
our new coon dog, Trueman. While we 
were tying our horse my pup Moscow 
struck in the branch, the new. dog gave 
tongue, and in less than 5 minutes both were 
barking to a tree not far off. When we 
got there all we could see was Trueman’s 
tail sticking out of a hollow stub about 4 
feet high. He had jumped up on the stub 
and gone into it head first. The hollow was 
too small for him to turn around in and 
too deep to back out of. We grabbed the 
dog by the tail and hind legs and pulled 
him out. He brought the coon with him 
and never let go until it was dead. 
Farther up the branch Trueman struck 
another trail and ran it about half a mile. 
He finally lost the scent, either because of 
the thick brush and wet ground or, more 
probably, as I have since learned, through 
my bad handling. On the way back to 
where we had tied the horse the dog com- 
menced to bark. We found he had another 
coon in a hollow log. It took about an 
hour of hard chopping, punching and pry- 
ing to get the rascal out. He is now living 
in my coon cage, as contented as can be.

No Curl 
to Hastman’s 
NTC Film. 
The one drawback to the use of film has always 
been its tendency to roll up. There’s none of 
thiswithN.C. Film. There’s not even a modified 
curl. It lies fat in development and afterward 
the negatives may be as readily handled as so many 
pieces of thin cardboard. No other film is like 
it. Itis patented. Develops in daylight if you 
have a Kodak Developing Machine. 
It has other advantages too—orthochromatism 
(i. e. a correct rendering of color values) speed 
—latitude. 
Your Kodak dealer has it. No advance over 
the prices you have always paid for Eastman film.
