Swiping wiu not 
clean a greasy plate 
The film of grease on a plate will not come 
off until it is dissolved by soap and water. 
Gun powder has a similar effect on a rifle 
barrel. The barrel looks clean when swabbed 
with oil, but the true sportsman knows that 
gun powder and steel creates a corrosive car¬ 
bon gas that soons leads to rust, pitting, and 
inaccuracy of aim. 
Hoppe's Nitro Powder Solvent No. 9 removes 
the effect of carbon gas from a gun barrel just 
as soap and water remove grease from a plate. 
Don’t depend on oil but go to your favorite 
sporting goods store to-day for a bottle of 
Hoppe’s Nitro Powder Solvent No. 9.

In icrituia to Advertisers .mention Forest dtxd Siregyt, it will identify you. 
with interest the bulletin board upon 
which results were chalked and the fast- 
increasing piles of crow’s feet in the 
windows. When the last bunch w^is 
tossed in there were more than ten 
bushels in evidence of the mammoth 
slaughter in the combined exhibits. 
The result was as follows: Madison 
County, 13,328 feet. Antelope County, 
12,826 feet. Total number of feet 
brought in, 26,154, or a total of 13,077 
crows killed by both counties. The 
Clearwater, Antelope county, organiza¬ 
tion won the cup with 2,690 birds to its 
credit. The high gun, Harry Graham, 
also a Clearwater shooter, won the cup 
as individual shooter with a total of 611 
birds all killed singly. 
Besides the prize cups the two young¬ 
est Aces were presented each with a $5 
gold piece. Milton Smith, of Clear¬ 
water. and Forrest Hoppe, living on a 
ranch in Antelope county, 12 and 13 
years old, respectively, each killed more 
than fifty crows. Milton is an expert 
trap-shooter, using a twelve-gauge win¬ 
chester pump, and shooting all his crows 
along the river from blinds before and 
after school. Young Hoppe got every 
bird with a twenty-two rifle, picking 
them off as they lit down in the feed 
lot upon his father’s ranch. 
A T six-thirty a banquet for the shoot¬ 
ers was served at the Elk’s hall by 
ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary. 
Representative Oswin Keifer, of the Ne¬ 
braska Legislature, then in session, and 
author of a bill which provides for a 
ten-cent bounty upon crows, was the 
principal speaker. He especially empha¬ 
sized the importance of ridding the state 
of crows and thereby protecting game 
and song birds from their worst ene¬ 
mies. He further suggested that such 
an organization as the one he addressed 
should be made perpetual and work to¬ 
gether and in connection with the Fish 
and Game Department. He showed 
them how they might assist the Depart¬ 
ment in many ways, such as selecting 
lakes and streams where fish may be 
planted to the greatest advantage; 
searching out the most likely places for 
pheasants to nest and rear young, keep¬ 
ing the crow down and reporting vio¬ 
lators of the game laws to deputy war¬ 
dens. After he had concluded, resolu¬ 
tions covering his suggestions were 
unanimously adopted and necessary 
committees appointed from the several 
towns to arrange for a more complete 
organization. 
All present enjoyed the short address 
of Gene Huse, editor of the Norfolk 
Daily News, true sportsman and lover 
of ths Great Outdoors. 
Editor Huse had recently returned 
from an European trip. The toastmas¬ 
ter jocularly introduced him as the orig¬ 
inal crow-hunter; saying that he ^ad 
hunted with no small degree of success, 
a brand of “Crow” which species had 
been extinct in the U. S. A. since adop¬ 
tion of the Eighteenth Amendment 
A notable feature of the contest was 
the interest manifested among farmers 
and ranchmen in the several counties ad¬ 
jacent to Madison and Antelope. Many
