A Nut to Crack.
.* We offer the school children the
r, following nut to crack:
c Having an eight-gallon keg oi
a cider and a five-gallon keg and ?
c three-gallon keg, both empty, how
^ woukl you measure out four gallon*
of the eider, so as to get the exact
quantity and waste none?"
For the best answer, most clearly
explained and neatly written by any
school pupil in the county, we will
~ give as a prize the Youth's Companion
for all of 1911, including the
?' handsome Companion Calendar, an
artistic production, gold lettered and
I pointed in fourteen colors.
It's a simple little puzzle. No
strings tied to the offer. Just a
little intellectual recreation for the
i children before the holidays.
